I love that people are referencing about a dozen different Daniel Stern acting roles making jokes about this. The man's had a good career.

New hook for the pod: Listen in and see if you can catch Sarah saying "sixst" instead of "sixth".

Paul Simon:

Cars are cars all over the world
Similarly made, similarly sold
In a motorcade, abandoned when they're old

Engine in the front, jack in the back
Wheels take the brunt, pinion & a rack

You can drive 'em on the left, drive 'em on the right
Susceptible to theft in the middle of the night

I only know how to pronounce "Cuyahoga" because of the REM song. If they got it wrong, then I say it wrong as well.

Ever notice that most people say "sixst" for "sixth". Intentionally try to say the "th" part as a normal "th" and it will feel odd. But Brits usually get it right.

It's a TV show for most people. Locations don't matter.

Ah yes! This is the "1 life vs 9.4 million lives" moral dilemma I learned about in "Intro to Morality" class.

We're gonna need a bigger trolley.

I didn't say you removed the signature. But you *should* want to give credit to the artist. That you fly in to an insane rage at my post tells me all I need to know about you. Bye!

Someone has intentionally removed the artist credit from the bottom right corner of the image. The artist is @mackinnonart.bsky.social Here is the original image:

"Something a Black person used to be derided for"

(1) The moment after Surya Bonaly did it, the commentator said "So good on her." That's praise, not derision.

(2) The move is literally called "the Bonaly flip". That's giving her proper credit, not forgetting about her.

Counter offer: Cap the population at 10 million, but people who voted "yes" on the original proposal now have to leave the country to make room for immigrants.

On the one hand, making fun of the luge seems like low hanging fruit. But on the other hand, jokes about the luge pretty much always make me laugh.

That's a pretty extreme letter, but I do think there is a cognitive disconnect with thinking that Russia should be banned as a country for justified political reasons that have nothing to do with the athletes & also wearing US flag designs, chanting "USA! USA!" & thinking it's not at all political.

"We asked 100 people. The top four answers are on the board. Name something that kids with terrible parents grow up to do often."

if it's not Scottish, it's crap!

Why, you ask? Because....

Silvana Tirinzoni, Rachel Homan, Niklas Edin, Brad Jacobs - all top skips and all have blue eyes.

The name reminds me of Canadian musician and painter Kurt Swinghammer.

Kurt once wrote a bunch of songs with Canadian musician Ron Sexsmith, which were released on the amazingly titled album "Sexsmith Swinghammer Songs".

Kurt has worked with singer Mary Margaret O'Hara, sister of Catherine O'Hara.

1. Of course, this is insane.

2. At least for now, if the problem is what FLAGS are displayed, just replace the frags with photographs, posters, towels, t-shirts, etc. all with the same designs as the flags.

3. I trust that the queer community of New York will bring replacement flags.

Ok, but if you take into account population growth, it isn't even close to the most-watched NBC broadcast. Other Super Bowls and "Gone With The Wind" are far ahead of it.

(No one tell CNN that in the curling world there are almost no mixed doubles events and it lags far behind the 4-person game in popularity.)

Further update: Korey Dropkin of the mixed doubles curling team is originally from Massachusetts and now lives in Minnesota. Perhaps this is who you were thinking of?

I just doublechecked. Here's a source that has St. Paul as his place of birth and as the location of the law school he went to.

He's a lifelong resident of St. Paul Minnesota. This is personal for him.

I am reminded of the episode of "Sports Night" where a substitute anchor kept sending messages to his girlfriend during the broadcast because he was worried that she was going to break up with him.

I'm still trying to process "Breezy Johnson". I thought that was what people were calling the ski jumping penis inflation scandal now.

I was not expecting the reply to be so epically brutal. Remind me never to cross her!

I was thinking this as well. The IOC will just amplify how awful they are in addition to amplifying this great tribute to fellow athletes who were killed.

It's wild how big a "story" granting a routine extension for a minor assignment is. Her post of her original request was funny because of the situation, but that's about it. It's not a 3-day story.

"nobody"

Confirming that he thinks anyone who understands Spanish does not count as a person.

Maybe Christian McCaffrey?
Or Christian Bale?
Or Christian Slater?
Or Cristiano Ronaldo?
