Eileen Gu, amid Olympic cameras and controversy, is living in a unique reality Gu is bigger than skiing, bigger than sport, and as ever, a lightning-rod for criticism.

Sorry, full article here:

Screenshot of a graf from a piece in the NY Times about Eileen Gu that reads:

But so often left unsaid by Gu are the moral ambiguities that come with choosing to represent a country that has been heavily criticized by Human Rights Watch, among other watchdog groups, for denying rights of freedom of expression and for persecuting government critics. (Human Rights Watch has flagged the U.S. for denying freedoms and persecuting critics under the Trump administrations, as well, both when Gu decided to represent China and now.) What isn’t ambiguous is how significantly Gu has benefited financially from her decision.

This is an embarrassing and majorly xenophobic piece from @nytimes.com @theathletic.com. The parenthetical in the below graf is, uh, quite the fucking parenthetical. Shameful fucking piece.

Journalists need to stop saying "detention center" and instead say "concentration camp."

The NHL Says ‘Hockey Is For Everyone.’ Black Players Aren’t So Sure. Organizations of players and fans are trying to change the makeup and attitude of the overwhelmingly white league.

shameless self plug but i wrote (roughly) about this a few years ago. might help explain it a bit:

Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Listen, I don’t think we should be making fun of the fascist attorney general’s appearance. Don’t let anyone think that I think we should do that. That said, I do think it’s okay to wonder why her nose looks like a small knuckle.
