Sam Bennett, Tom Wilson and Brad Marchand sounds like a line that would lead to a very specific Geneva Convention

This is wrong, and it'd be enlightening to see what 'ICE cosplaying as an environmental canvasser' looks like.

I hope (maybe in vain) that the internet will spare this kid's parents its customary vitriol. I think it's certainly a mistake to take your kid out of bounds on a high avy danger day. But besides the fact that this isn't common knowledge, these folks have experienced the worst consequences possible.

There is such a thing as a Triple Kunzelman, but it's been illegal in Olympic competition for a decade, and for good reason.

I'm not a puritan when it comes to language, but I do think that if the first few times a term appeared in the media was next to the word "manifesto," we ought to be cautious about its use.

You will not necessarily fall more on skimo skis. You will definitely fall in new and interesting ways, at least at the beginning. The first time I clicked into a pair, I tried to turn, immediately spun 180 degrees, and fell over backwards.

Have you ever looked at your skis and thought "these are great, but they would be even better if I couldn't control them at all and every time I hit a bump I was in danger of somersaulting down the hill"? Let me introduce you to skimo.

Concerned you may have TOO much sensation in your feet? Cannot recommend a competitive skimo career enough.

You ever wondered what it would be like to spend a month only able to climb stairs sideways, gripping the railing with both hands? Skimo may be for you.

when the Olympics aren't on: our noble neighbors to the north. so alike yet so different. why must our government treat them with hostility, when we have gained so much from our friendship

watching women's hockey: we must saw this continent apart at the 49th parallel and push them into the Arctic

I was excited to see that movie up through maybe the midpoint of it. I think they had a good enough idea going with the "old TV show aesthetic" that they forgot to finish writing the plot.

Report: Staff at Dilley raiding cells to confiscate kids' letters and drawings detailing conditions inside

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

chart showing the total number of people killed in avalanches in the U.S. in 2025-2026 prior to the Castle Peak incident. 3 skiers, 2 snowmobilers, 1 unknown, for a total of 6.

chart showing the total number of people killed in avalanches in the U.S. in 2025-2026 prior to the Castle Peak incident. 3 skiers, 2 snowmobilers, 1 unknown, for a total of 6.

More grim context: This single incident quadruples the number of skiers killed in avalanches in the U.S. this season.

To put this into perspective how bad this is: With 8 dead and 1 missing and presumably dead, this one event is nearly half the total number of people (23) killed in avalanches across the U.S. during the 2024-2025 season, and three times the number (3) killed in the Tunnel Creek avalanche in 2012.

I imagine we're going to hear a lot more about this, both because of the number of casualties and the fact that it happened on a guided trip.

Jesse Jackson, in a crowd of delegates, press, and handlers at the Democratic National Convention pit in Denver, Colorado. August 28,2008.

Denver, 2008: Seeing I was lost, Jackson offered me a seat and shared his perspective about what was about to take place. I saved tape from what he said on record, memory from he said off record. Minutes later and just a few yards away, Obama accepted the nomination.

Rest in peace, Jesse Jackson.

Up to 10 skiers missing, six survive California avalanche in area where Bend snowmobiler died TRUCKEE, Calif. (KTVZ) -- As many 10 skiers were missing Tuesday after an avalanche struck a group of 16 people skiing in the Castle Peak area near Truckee late Tuesday morning, authorities said. Neva...

Wow, this is really, really bad. An hour under the snow is not survivable, let alone six. Unless some of those ten are unhurt and lost in the woods somewhere, it's not looking good.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being β€œserved food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees β€” it was for the staff.
