i hope this is generally seen as manipulative and desperate instead of romantic because every incel loser in scandanavia is going to try to identify and dox her so they can tell her to "be reasonable"

a Norwegian man crying on air while being interviewed, with his biathlon stats besides him

In the interview with NRK, he first started by thanking everyone who has helped him on the path to his first individual Olympic medal. And then – unprompted – he made an admission: – And then there's someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago I met the love of my life. The most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her, and I told her about it a week ago. It's been the worst week of my life, he says tearfully in the interview.

new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped

Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back

reminded of that post that was like "subtle difference! Catholics think suffering is good and Protestants think pleasure is bad :)" and increasingly worried about our Protestant-coded times

The incredible messaging skill necessary in writing a post that contains the phase "We're asking ICE to do nothing".

To be clear: I adore them both.

Big ag is one of the most brutal extractive industries on the planet but we did the whole “well ok they aren’t *right*, but the big corps they’re opposed to *are* bad, so what’s the harm…” with pharma and holistic shit and now there’s measles outbreaks in 2026.

It's so funny how much of the summer Olympics is normal shit like, "now we're gonna see who can run the fastest and jump the highest" or even like "let's fight with sticks and see who can hit each other" and winter sports are like "skateboard but on skis somehow?" And "ballroom+ice+jumping!"

I have no idea how my father knew about this book but he told me about it all the time as a kid, truly one of my favorite stories growing up

Can confirm, is excellent

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for

yes exactly. There's something in my brain that just needs to break everything down into component pieces or else I just feel unsettled and ill at ease in the world like wearing a cheap & poorly fit sweater

I don't know how to explain this but in my head all of the polygons with more than 5 sides are somehow inferior to circles, triangles, and four sided polygons. Not like, I like circles better than trapezoids, but like, on a gut level, the way Hot feels Hot, a hexagon feels Inferior to a square

It's very telling that the mainstream Republicans thought they could just say anything the cranks wanted to hear and reality would just keep proceeding fine. There have been no consequences for anyone in powers' actions for so long they forgot Things Actually Happen

it's really gonna depend on whether (run to the hills, maiden) or not (Uzi(Pinky Ring), wu Tang) jd Vance immediately becomes president

DC & Puerto Rico are different statehood cases. What matters is what the people living there want. A lot of Puerto Ricans don't want to be part of this empire at all & they shouldn't have to be. People in DC see themselves as part of America & want to actually have a real part in it.

I would love one single baby boomer to recite the first verse of Wooly Bully for me!

There comes a time for most of us to stop chasing dreams and start to focus on enjoying the time we get to spend with the people we love while we will can. A refusal to accept the limits of age robs us of that time, and it might seem infinite when you're young, but I promise you, it will not last.

....but there also comes a time to look at the lines in your face in the mirror and accept that those dreams might not come true, and if they don't, what are the things that will make you feel you truly lived when you're at the end of your life? You only have so many chances to make memories.

Getting older and no longer being able to chase your dreams fucking sucks and I'm angry about it a lot! But the cultural obsession with Always Chase Your Dreams is the source of a lot of that anger. It's great for young people to hear what Bad Bunny said and try to accomplish big impossible shit....

I think the American obsession with people showing heart and grit is insane, dangerous, and stupid. As somebody trucking through my early to middle forties, there's nothing I see in my friend group sadder than people who can't accept we're getting older and it shouldn't be celebrated in sports.

You won't read a more beautiful and true account of yesterday's performance, it is by @jawnita.bsky.social

Even the Bad Bunny stuff is cuz someone told them to be angry. They could have just as easily been told "look what a cultural victory it is the biggest musicians in MULTIPLE languages not just English want to show off for AMERICAN FOOTBALL" in a hooray American exceptionalism voice and been happy

Yeah I don't necessarily think things will go WELL I just don't see how you interfere with the humongous army of senior citizens who actually carry out the work of elections on this country, but then again nothing makes sense anyhow

I love the French people that started with finger guns and are going to dance to daft punk

Definitely. Executive branch just straight up ignoring the legislature has always seemed like the most likely collapse imo

I mean I'm just a regular guy and know nothing but this all seems right to me. The idea of the election being stolen seems completely impossible. The GOP refusing to accept the results I could maybe imagine, but that's a very different scenario entirely and impossible to guess how it'd go

Damn they're good tho

These Canadian costumes are disgusting and they should feel bad about them

This Spain routine is kinda boring
