I didn’t come up with the second phrase. No one really knows who did, but it dates back to the 1700s. Feel free to steal it!

Oh and her confirmation is delayed because she went into labor an hour before the hearing was supposed to start.

If I saw that I would assume the claim was BS.

Some of the stuff is just common sense, like be physically active and don’t live on ice cream and chips.
What is good isn’t original and what is original isn’t good.

That could be the longest video ever made.

Her confirmation hearing is Oct 30th. She is appearing virtually. I wonder why not in person. Hopefully she isn’t confirmed, but the way things are going. On the other hand, some in the Senate may be feeling burned after RFK Jr.

Who’d a thunk it?

If Obama had done 1 % of that we never would have heard the end of it.

Do you think this is possible this time, especially without Asher.
I don't know US WAG in detail but I heard Roberson is struggling and this group seems weaker than in the past.

He wasn’t even eligible. His nominations were after the deadline. He will be eligible for 2026 but who knows if peace will last that long.

I bought them and the seats are super terrible but at least I got some.

Still thinking.

It’s even stupider. A JAMA study found puberty was decreasing by around 3 months per decade, so what he’s claiming would probably take centuries with simple extrapolation. And I think he’s just wrong.

Girls are hitting puberty 6 years earlier than when? 1890? It’s been a very long time since girls didn’t hit puberty until 16 or 17.

On Reddit they are saying no more tickets would be released. Not sure how accurate that is.

Nullifications of sporting events usually happen because someone cheated. This is not the case for 2025 Gymnastics Worlds. It still may be nullified. Or not. The CAS seems to be disinclined to punish people who had nothing to do with the problems.

ChatGPT takes on an FIG/Indonesia version of the parable of the scorpion and the frog.

Israel Gymnastics Federation appeals Indonesia’s decision to bar its athletes Group slams 'outrageous' move by largest Muslim nation to deny visas to athletes, including Olympic gold medalist Artem Dolgopyat, for this month's world championship in Jakarta

"Indonesia has drawn a clear line for decades. Since the 1962 Asian Games when Israel and Taiwan were excluded from the event in Jakarta, the country has maintained a consistent refusal to host Israeli delegations."

The FIG just decided to ignore this.

The ChatGPT history of Indonesia and Israeli athletes. If Worlds is cancelled or the results nullified, if history is any judge Indonesia will likely pay a price.

Or I Seymour Hare.

The other thing in the back of their minds might be USA and FIGA and 2028, as the US has a bunch of travel bans and has denied access because of them. I could see not wanting to set a precedent of allowing countries to do this at the last minute.

The FIG could have or should have known Indonesia might be problematic as they have a history of similar actions involving Israel. The underlying problem is it’s too hard to find hosts. I wonder if this will be the end of individual Worlds or even yearly Worlds.

If they define exceptional as a something like a war or natural disaster - basically something beyond the control of anyone, the host denying visas 9 shortly before the event may not qualify.

ChatGPT and Perplexity AI agree with these people. This is one of the times I hope AI is wrong, but the explanations given made sense.

If they let it go I could see Israel pushing to have the results nullified.

It will depend on how “exceptional situation” is interpreted. If the CAS is strict about that, it could be trouble.

That’s definitely possible. I remember the Iranian wrestler in 2004 who failed to make weight so he wouldn’t have to wrestle an Israeli. Iran treated him as a hero.

That would be something Iran would do. But why would they have signed up in the first place? I can’t remember if Iran has ever competed at a Worlds where Israel was present.

I wonder why?

I guess we will see.
