they used to use the Olympic Anthem for athletes competing under neutral flags, but then they decided they didn't want the Russian/Belarussians to get the Olympic Anthem, so ahead of 2024 they wrote a special Individual Neutral Athletes anthem that they'll use if any of them win
We’ve come full circle
there are two types of people in this world: people who are rooting for Alysa Liu, and my enemies
photograph from the 80's of the wrestler Sting wearing a Gold's Gym shirt and sunglasses, leaning against a shelf in a bookstore and positively cheesing at an open copy of The Far Side Gallery 2, a collection of Far Side Cartoons.
what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇
it’s insane that a decade ago we all agreed that giving mass shooters the attention they desired was a bad thing but now because rightwingers will quite literally lie about the shooter every single time we all have to be acutely aware of the shooters intentions and ideology
I'm assembling a team
This boy been waiting to haul off on somebody for 14 years and today he got to live the dream and stand on the right side of history. Friday the 13th is the greatest day of his life.
nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up
that was the one I meant!! The last bullet point in the figure skating section lol
US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.
Really love that the NHL is unable to post clips due to IOC rules. So they’ve resorted to MS Paint highlights.
danny's original tweet which reads, Today, students at my high school in Chicago held an Anti-ICE protest. I was the only one that decided to hold a sign that said ‘I Love ICE’. Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted — Just for standing up for law enforcement. What is happening to America? there is a 47 second video that sees multiple other kids talk smack to him and one of them just lays into him physically
a quote tweet that has transcription from the punch. the tweet reads:“You’re gonna punch me?” “Yeah” “Then you’re gonna in trouble for that” “Okay” Followed by this frame is one of the hardest things I’ve seen on the internet this week. the frame in question is the kid winding up for a punch. it looks exactly like the pepe punching meme
over on x the everything app some Chicago high school kid named Danny Spud tried to disrupt his school's anti-ICE protest by yelling about how much he loves ICE and then filmed himself getting walloped by a fellow student lmao
the quote tweet making fun of him has 3x the likes
Really thinking about that last bullet point in the newsletter…
Best Olympics coverage anywhere. All the stories, inside info, explainers, and JOY of the games. Read it, subscribe (it's free!), and if you are able, throw a few bucks Rodger's way so he can keep doing this stuff.
omg Shun is fucking sobbing. I'm so happy for him too. He thought he was out of it!
Also, there are not enough words for how much I love Kagiyama Yuma. Best teammate! Look at that hype man! #Olympics
"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars
it's even funnier bc the Canadian 100% did the thing the Swede was accusing him of bsky.app/profile/suss...
CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF!
(I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)
I feel like it's a good time to restate that my rapist was never prosecuted by the Republican DA at the time for Tarrant County in Texas, who served for 3 decades. In fact he had some of the lowest prosecution rates for SA and rape cases. Republicans have always defended rapists and predators.
The complete refusal from the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the allegations in the Epstein Files and made by Epstein survivors is also proof of what victims everywhere go through every day when authority figures refuse to do anything about what happened to them
The waiter: And what would you like today young man?
My two year old:
Fair use.
So everyone's watching the 60 Minutes that was supposed to be banned and everyone who knows how PDFs work can unredact the Epstein files, it's like the Christmas spirit has irony poisoning this year
some will ignore the Christmas NFL games because Max Brosmer, Josh Johnson, and Chris Oladokun are playing.
i am actually 75 percent more likely to watch because Max Brosmer, Josh Johnson, and Chris Oladokun are playing.
WESTERN KENTUCKY WINS THE NEW ORLEANS BOWL A BIG RED BEVEL IN THE BIG EASY!!
WESTERN KENTUCKY WINS THE NEW ORLEANS BOWL
A BIG RED BEVEL IN THE BIG EASY!!
one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills
separating the art from the artist is convenient until you consider that art is an expression of one’s self and all their problematic values are baked into it. which is why i can no longer wear the one ring to rule them all
