Does anyone else’s cat have a special walk they only use when they’re on a mission to do something they know they aren’t allowed to do?

Both American women who got on the podium for the monosled event are over 40. There’s still time for us, Bluesky.

It’s nice that skiers are able to escape to the side of the mountain (literally) when they have a devastating performance, unlike skaters or other arena sports who are immediately hounded by the press 30 seconds after the worst performance of their life.

I’ve been gently pushed to use a little AI in my work and I don’t think it’s perfect but Claude really does seem to be much better than ChatGPT.

Why the hell did I turn on what said was supposed to be “live pairs skating” on peacock only to be subjected to one of those athlete focus pieces on the evil hockey brothers?

Now this is a movie plot!!! Someone understands grad school.

I must confess that when I adopted the guy on the left I didn’t fully realize he would turn into the guy on the right, thus unknowingly signing up for a lifetime of weekly brushings.

That entire podium collapsed and don’t get me wrong, I love Johnny and Tara but they talk about how much pressure these people are under but they’re part of that pressure! The incessant talk about expectations just destroys these athletes.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

Scott Hamilton takes me back to early childhood when ice skating came with his commentary. I really like the Tara Lipinski/Johnny Weir duo, but Scott Hamilton makes me nostalgic.

One time years ago I was driving through CA and I was on this road that had tiny hills back to back for miles so it was like updownupdownupdown for like 30 minutes and it made me carsick. Anyway that’s what mogul skiing looks like to me.

I think the general outcry probably did this but I bet the real nail in the coffin was the We Rate Dogs guy reading them for filth for trying to use our love for our dogs as an excuse for the surveillance state.

My biggest takeaway from Threads is that in the event of a nuclear war, if you’re anywhere at all in the vicinity, your best bet is to be as close as possible to the bomb. Ideally it’ll fall ON you. Because you’re going to die. The only question is how fast and how painful.

I hate when bad people win things.

This is incredibly upsetting.

I wish we had the options to turn off reposts from specific people. Sometimes I follow people because I like what they have to say but then I end up unfollowing them because they just repost way too much stuff and it’s annoying trying to wade through the clutter.

Glad they have someone in custody for the Guthrie case but I cannot imagine having to rely on this FBI to find my missing mother.

Can’t believe curling has me stressed out right now.

What a dumbass.

I got up for one minute and not only did he take my seat his big orange butt is on my cashmere! The audacity.

I really believe that there is a sweet spot for meeting times and it’s between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM and anything outside of that window is a crime against me, specifically.

There’s a lot wrong here but imagine you’re in the midst of battling with infertility and you get a letter telling you your biological clock is ticking away. From your government.

Ohhh. It’s going to be 37 tomorrow. Balmy!

Big fan of cats in general and specifically my cats but whenever I’m about to have company I do despair over the sheer amount of cat paraphernalia I have accumulated that I can’t hide away.

Not sure how I feel about the new thing where they attach heart rate monitors to athlete’s family members. Obviously they have to agree to it but it still feels intrusive.

this is what peak posting looks like. you may not like it etc. but this is the platonic ideal of posting.

You’re telling me they’re in ITALY and they brought their own food? Even bigger losers than I realized.

Connections today was absolutely diabolical.

Elite athletes are just built different. They’ll be like “she’s skating with a torn ligament while recovering from a lung transplant and is expected to medal,” and I’m like “I stubbed my toe therefore I cannot complete any task today.”

Every Olympic ceremony since 1988 has given it a real go, but Barcelona remains undefeated in torch lighting. The cauldrons themselves are very cool this year though.

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

So excited to make the Olympics my entire personality for the next two weeks!

This is foul and his attempts at justification turn my stomach. Disgusting and he should not be allowed to teach.

it's probably fine

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Who is advising Chuck Schumer and how can I get in touch with them. I just want to have a chat.

I guess it was inevitable because Bluesky but protest discourse is extremely tedious.

Queen of trad wife content right there. Loves to make soft focus content with her kids drinking milk straight from the cow and flying off to cooking school in Ireland while gently plugging their products.

Lots of people have leftover trauma from covid but I’m fortunate enough that my only leftover trauma is always having plenty of toilet paper and never ever eating birthday cake that someone blew a candle out on.

This is our culture. It is rape culture, but also more broadly it is abuse and exploitation culture. It is pervasive and it is the reason my career was wrecked and it is the reason Trump is president and it is the reason armed state abusers feel justified executing a mouthy woman in the street.

My blood runs cold just reading that “I see,” and yet these idiots just keep yapping away.

A note from our editors:

Was wondering about this. Couldn’t quite see how such a strong republican area could get low turnout even for a special and they didn’t! Makes sense but is pretty wild.

Watching When Harry Met Sally for probably the 20th time in my life and it’s amazing how hard this movie still slaps all these years later and after repeated watchings. Just an absolute masterpiece of a romcom.

No one ever listens to me when I talk about how interesting city council meetings are and see?! LOOK AT WHAT YOU’RE MISSING.

No political scientists in the Epstein files, multiple economists. These are facts.

I don’t know what it looks like on the ground in Ohio now because I no longer live there but I do feel the need to point out that the targeted city has around 60K people compared to the 400K of the twin cities. Resistance is probably going to look different but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

Sometimes the names in the Epstein files are a surprise. And other times… Not so much.

Went out to clean the inside windows of my car cause they’ve gotten kind of foggy and it’s so cold the windex was freezing instantly. I had to wait for the car to heat up before I could do it. Crazy stuff.
