Meyers Taylor said her children's disabilities — both of her sons are deaf and Nico has Down syndrome — have created some "unique challenges" on the road. Nico experiences sensory overload at times and becomes overwhelmed, she said.

"I thought it would get much easier as they got older and it has not," Meyers Taylor, 41, said at the USOPC media summit in October. "Bigger children, bigger problems. Now that they're both walking, they're both up. They don't want to sit on planes, they don't want to stay still. They don't want to sit for meals or anything like that. So it is absolute chaos."

Elana Meyers Taylor.
Wins medals in 4 Olympics (bronze in 2010, silver in 2014/18/22)

And THEN! At 41! She wins her first gold.
American hero.

America’s Most Powerful CEOs Are Awfully Quiet Lately Trump has exposed an ugly truth about corporations: They’re no longer even pretending to be good citizens.

I wrote about the cowardly lions of corporate America under Trump and their decades-long push to shape the country’s political life and democracy, no matter their protestations to the contrary now. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Steve Bannon courted Epstein in his efforts to ‘take down’ Pope Francis | CNN Steve Bannon, a longtime adviser to US President Donald Trump, discussed opposition strategies with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein against Pope Francis, with Bannon saying he hoped to “take do...

The devil Steve Bannon worked with the pedophile king to attack the Jesuit pope over Church doctrine on social justice.
Time to shine a spotlight on the "trad" Catholic right wing extremists (step forward JD Vance) who abuse Church teaching to drive their hate.

I got to see it in theaters for both the original run and the Minus Color release.

Absolutely my favorite Godzilla movie, and the production was so goddang plucky. They were underdogs and made such a fantastic film!

State Dept. orders nonprofit libraries to stop processing passport applications Pennsylvania Reps. Madeleine Dean and John Joyce have proposed bipartisan legislation that would allow nonprofit public libraries to continue to serve as passport acceptance.

The SAVE act will disenfranchise millions, mostly women

It requires ID that matches your birth certificate or passport

If you’ve had a name change, your birth certificate won’t match

The State Dept is banning libraries from processing passport applications

They don’t want certain people to vote

Post from Art Director Bill Robinson on LinkedIn saying:

Welp, it finally happened. I was hired to work on a MAJOR live action Hollywood film (and I mean it’s one of the biggest anticipated films of the year). They needed a small animated sequence and wanted a character designer. I was handed a ChatGPT image and told “make it different”. I did - I spent hours finessing the design into something better and more specific for the character in the film. Waited a week for notes - then was told they got clearance from legal to use the original AI image instead. No need for any further work. This is what the director wanted. 

What are we doing as a society? What’s the endgame here? Replace every human until we are all homeless? I just don’t get it. If a major Hollywood film with a huge budget doesn’t see the need to work with real artists, is there any hope left?

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

Take that $29 million out of the budget for the police. And permanently reduce the police budget by that amount in future years.
