so watching men's singles free skate when you had already heard about Ilia's placement but hadn't seen it yet - we created the most insane dramatic irony - you couldn't write this

it's kind of wild that we are apparently able to have video calls with people in concentration camps who are saying what's going on there and everyone knows and it's incredibly public and no one in a position of power/visibility in the government is really doing anything about it at scale

I don't necessarily want to repost brown hoodie kid because he's a child and this level of visibility is probably not good for him right now. Hope he is okay

We were catching up on figure skating and Flint apparently really likes Boléro

Gavin basically is constantly inventing new ways to hang a sign around his neck that says "I'm a fucking bitch and I hate you"

Answer 1: yes Answer 2: nope

the google "ai" commercial where they make gemini answer the questions of how skaters don't get dizzy is so fucking funny bc it implies that gemini independently understands this somehow as opposed to this being information that was provided by human input and could be delivered by a human expert

Defensive master class, yes. But also a master class in making absolutely no adjustments in offense for Czechia. Even with the goalie pulled, they tried to just skate through 4 defenders when it hadn't worked all game.

@germnetwork.com hey, i haven't been able to authenticate with my bsky account - i've tried like 5 times. any advice?

An undeniably emotional experience seeing the other half of the ‘peacock room’ in Oplontis being excavated and meeting their counterparts: the two peahens that graced the facing wall. What a delightfully playful idea by the artist. Compliments to my colleagues, excavators & conservators. Spectacular

if you can tune in, sweden is up 1-0 after two periods over czechia in the quarterfinals. elimination game - winners will have the opportunity to play for a medal, losers are done. a win by sweden would already be their best finish in an international tournament since 2014

sweden's goalie, Ebba Svensson Träff, has been extremely good

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

there are contexts in which I will consume any and all of these things except cucumbers which are disgusting

Folks. The latest InDesign update has AI-generated alt text when you place an image and so far it has labeled four technical drawings of load-bearing steel plates as nudes. I guess I can’t argue with the computer’s perspective

*nobody should have to deal with this shit* it is a fucking waste of computer hardware, energy, and time

no, it simply isnt. People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

The US first closed its borders because it wanted to keep Chinese people out. That's the history. That's why we have closed borders.

people are talking to the computer in the GitHub comments

See you soon, CTC 🙂‍↕️ Our March 11 game, originally scheduled at TD Place, has been moved to Friday, April 3 at the Canadian Tire Centre! 📰 bit.ly/4rP1BZT

The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.

I guess I should point out that had CBP accidentally shot down a passenger liner doing this shit we would be at war with Mexico right now

So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA. Sounds like Hegseth! www.cnn.com/2026/02/11/u...

Piper and Paul brought me to tears

Wait, Emilea and Vadym's free dance ?????

the hype about what oil can do was true as well. yet with 20-20 hindsight we can agree that overall what it did was a disaster for us all, and maybe in particular for those who least benefited from it.

what is the point of this post? to call people who "care about human dignity" concern trolls? which part of the "hype" is "true"? what does that have to do with "the left"?

monique and jocelyne lamoureux, members of the 2018 gold-medal-winning USA women's team, have been attending the games with JD Vance.

Coming back because yesterday's game was who's who of badass women at this game and instead we talked about a husband (for the 2nd straight game) and the men's team... Sue Bird, Laurie Hernandez, Ilona Maher, Erin Jackson and Brittany Bowe were all in attendance

Beautiful Extremely Ill White Horse status: all systems go

in hindsight it's kind of funny that james comey's FBI knew about all of this epstein shit in 2016 but decided to leak clinton's illegal email server

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

I can confirm this is true and I can also say that the lack of an eviction moratorium is fueling this trend.

(Media) SCOOP: Weeks ago, the owner of the Washington City Paper had offered to purchase The Washington Post's sports and local sections, keeping their desks alive. The Post reporters were laid off and the desks were shut down instead. www.theverge.com/policy/87683...

“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.” Works for me.

BAAAAAAABE BABE BABE BABE WAKE UP THEY’RE RECREATING THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES

You have to think that if these two teams meet again in this tournament as everyone always assumes that it's going to either be a total reset or very ugly

LAILA EDWARDS WITH THE BOMB

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.

I know that the Olympics present a pretty difficult needle to thread w/r/t presenting the sport with respect and not dumbing it down vs. making it accessible to casuals who only watch it once every 4 years. But NBC misses the mark so badly on women's hockey, in so many ways.

End of the 2nd: USA 4, Canada 0 For those of you keeping track, the cumulative score between these two since Canada's 2024 WWC gold is USA 34, Canada 11. #MilanoCortina2026

panning from stacey to mpp and then talking about someone's husband. what the fuck are we even doing here.

NBC broadcast spending half this game talking about the partners of straight players but never mentioning the partners of gay players is crazy

In the Skyway 20 minutes after an ice abduction, mayor Frey walks through the government center. A lady yells at him "what are you doing to stop this? Fuck you." He responds, "is that helpful?" With a smirk on his face.

this really is hetero propaganda
