They don't oppose Trump for what he does or who he is, they simply don't like that it's so blatantly uncivil.

His fascism would be acceptable to them if he was polite about it.

The curling has been so frustrating.

My favourite Muppet movie was released in the USA 30 years ago today!

Yes,,, your boy has taken a ride in the 4 man bobsled,,, but im an adrenaline junkie and needed to try skeleton. And now I’ve officially joined the team and am gonna try to start competing.

66 years old going 66 mph.

I think it's brilliant, but I can see that perspective.

(and for me, the best part isn't anything he said. It's the bit where the mortar bomb lands behind them and everyone else ducks, but Kilgore doesn't even notice and doesn't flinch. Just keeps on with the insane monologuing.)

Robert Duvall as Lt. Col. Kilgore in Apocalypse Now talking about napalm.

With virtually no screen time, Duvall made Kilgore the most memorable part of one of the greatest set pieces in cinema history. Played an utterly insane character with total sincerity and, even if you've never seen Apocalypse Now, you know almost every line he had.

imagine if the mad lass does it a second time

The frame from the BBC Alba logo showing the lettering turning green and red as a football bounces off it. Below, Tom Haverford from Parks & Rec is saying: “It’s beautiful. I’ve looked at this for five hours now.”

This justifies the licence fee. A perfect understanding of audience and nostalgia.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

Would have preferred that Scotland won in Kolkata yesterday than the Calcutta Cup win we got.

Demon core experiment

roses are red
cherenkov is blue
just use a screwdriver
what's the worst it could do

All day today:

Roses are red
I hate Steven Miller
I hope he meets
A serial killer

Every time I watch Harry Brook bat, I can't help thinking of that line in Bull Durham.

"...Come on, Meat, show us that million-dollar arm, 'Cause I got a good idea about that five-cent head of yours!"

All the talent. Not much of the smarts.

Testicles like 64lb cannonballs.

watercolour of a battle between british and french sailing ships.

1804. Oceans are now Battlefields.

In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French.

It should be a massacre.

Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

added olympics music

CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF!

(I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)

Is there more gay sex at the summer or winter Olympics?

Share an actual fight scene with actual humans by actual humans.

Real glass bottles. Real kick.

This image is quite racist.

The white guy with the Nazi tattoo is front and centre staring straight at you. The actually elected POC have had their skin tones lightened and are at the back, smaller and minimised.

Racist.

Wasn't Saxon's character. It was Peter Archer's.

Saxon is too busy losing his money betting on Preying Mantis fights at the time.

Ambush predators assuming that because you know they're there, they can't eat you saves many lives.

#OTD Operation Deadlight concluded on Feb 12, 1946. Out of 154 captured German U-boats, 121 were scuttled in the North Atlantic to prevent Soviet acquisition and manage post-war surplus. The remaining 33 were divided among the Allies for technical evaluation and testing
