This is hilarious.
Also, completely enraging.
Aw, sorry. π

This year's Winnipeg Whisky Festival will highlight Canadian craft distillers; there's also a whole bunch of other spirits-related events happening this week leading up to the Fri-Sat tastings. A preview, for @winnipegfreepress.com: www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...
The cover of Sharing the Light by Monique Gray Smith appears on the left. An image of the author herself appears on the right, accompanied by the text POSTPONED in a red banner.
Please note: tonight's previously scheduled event with Monique Gray Smith has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. We are looking to reschedule and will announce a new date shortly. Apologies for any disappointment!

I can't think of a gift you'd appreciate more, pal... YOU ARE WELCOME
I feel simultaneously enraged and dumber for having read that
Something's off with the Canadian men's curling team today against the Swiss, but I can't put my finger on it
Swedes did report it, maybe weren't the best reaction-wise, but also acknowledged it didn't make a difference score-wise post-game. But Canada denied it (despite video evidence), came across like bad sports, etc., even while Swedes were being interviewed post-game. Not shocking given the team.
I mean... it's tricky. I think officials can't do much, and it's on the offending team to self-report (or concede they did it) - the "gentleman's game." IMO he did it (and I think they've been doing it for a while now), it didn't make any difference, but the reaction is a bad look.
I mean, having watched a few replaysβ¦ the Swedes ainβt wrong (and the Cdn response is just bad form generally)
The curling subreddit timeline:
Pre-Olympics: very quiet
First few days of Olympics: sweet, earnest questions from new fans about how the game is played, etc.
Today:

Well I mean they were both middle-aged bald dudes like me so... maybe?
I know, right? BUT IT HAPPENED... Last month I was at the gym on the treadmill, not running particularly fast (for me) to see if my foot pain was still bad, and when I was done a guy on the machine next to me said "That was SERIOUSLY impressive!" Again, NO ONE HEARD HIM BUT ME
