How is this not AI? Not just the photo, the whole thing.
What is happening?
ok so I think many people are vaguely aware that animal diet in pop culture is oversimplified. i.e. "dogs eat bone" or "rabbits eat carrot"
but somehow people refuse to accept the fact that butterflies drink piss
Tiebreak Titan
For the 2nd match in a row, Flavio Cobolli goes the distance to get the win in Halle.
After battling past Joao Fonseca in a 3rd set tiebreak on Tuesday, the Italian wins another squeaker against Denis Shapovalov, 7-6², 4-6, 7-6⁵, to set up a clash with Lorenzo Sonego or Alex Zverev.

[Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them]

TOWER FAN 1:
Right lads, get ready.
2
TOWER FAN 1:
This is our time.
3
TOWER FAN 1:
The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here.
4
TOWER FAN 1:
We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft,
and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever.
5
TOWER FAN 1:
I know what you’re
thinking, lads:
6
TOWER FAN 1:
Surely this will be the year they finally replace us?
7
TOWER FAN 1:
Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018...
8
TOWER FAN 1:
Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh…
TOWER FAN 2:
Cheers mate
9
TOWER FAN 1:
But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists.
By the time they remember,
new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon.
10
TOWER FAN 1:
So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out...
11
TOWER FAN 1:
...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than.

Machac Moves On
The positive, "Mr. Shorty Shorts" vibes around Tomas Machac seem to have dimmed a bit lately after a series of mid-match retirements have rankled, let's face it, probably just gamblers.
But, I ain't mad at the lil' guy.
Machac defeats Fabian Marozsan, 6-2, 6-3.

This is Theo. He's always looking out for his older sister Mia. Sometimes that means simply making sure she gets enough pets at day care. 13/10 for both

Sinner Takes All!
Jannik Sinner caps off his breakthrough season with a massive win at home, defeating Taylor Fritz, 6-4, 6-4, to lift the ATP Finals trophy in Turin.
Though life off-court got complicated due to a now resolved (?) doping controversy, Sinner was the clear on-court champion of 2024.
My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
Morning.
Fritz 🤝 Final
The best year of Taylor Fritz's career gets even sweeter as he disposes of Alexander Zverev, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6³, to play for the title in Turin.
With the victory, Fritz scores his 10th top ten win of 2024 - the most of any American man since 1999 - and climbs to #4 in the world.
Shev Revs Through
Alexander Shevchenko scores the first ATP main draw win of the year in Brisbane, easing past Luca Van Assche, 6-3, 6-2.
The 23yo, who lept over 100 spots to finish inside the top 50 in 2023, is looking to keep that energy in the new year.
Shevchenko next faces Purcell or Rune.
Daniila Ice!
Sorry. He just looks kinda, you know, "ice cold" in this photo. Right? Like, in the Outkast sense of the word?
Again... sorry.
Anyway! Daniil Medvedev is through to the final in Vienna, getting past Stefanos Tsitsipas, 6-4, 7-6 (6), to secure a spot in his 9th final of 2023.
I have arrived, ty @thaiguy.bsky.social 😘
