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.

good thing i like going to concerts alone because it's one thing to justify spending a lot on one ticket for someone I really want to see, but for two just to have a buddy who doesn't really care? notsomuch

The Great Ticket Crisis: How Attending Live Events Became a Luxury Sport It's not just you: It's never been harder to buy a reasonably priced ticket to a major concert or sporting event. Taylor Swift tours, World Cup matches, the Super Bowl, you name it... We dug in to the...

Which countries sent the most athletes per capita to the 2026 Winter Olympics?

Liechtenstein clears the field by sending 8 athletes from a population of 40,023, meaning roughly 1 out of every 5,000 Liechtensteiners is at the Olympics.

This is a deeply unserious and extremely important statistic.

NYT also sharing this this morning seems... pointed

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

UpScrolled says it does not push any agendas, “political, commercial, or otherwise,” and that every post has a fair chance to be seen, noting there are no “shadowbans, no hidden throttling, no pay-to-play favoritism” for any posts or creators. Upscrolled says the only posts it restricts are those that violate community guidelines or contain illegal activity, hate speech, bullying or harassment.

apparently Upscrolled is a new social platform that people are flocking too in lieu of tiktok, but any website that claims “no agendas” like this is going to learn the necessity of content moderation real fast (or risk being a right wing playground)
