It's official. The illegitimate Georgian Dream government will now be able to jail people for up to three years for publicly calling it illegitimate.

If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

The NBA is such an incredible league filled with such amazing players and characters. Just saying that because maybe I take it for granted sometimes.

Wouldn’t have had any urgency to sell him if I were Seattle, but I can concede that until he settles in as a starter, The Idea Of RBW is way more alluring then the player RBW is currently (tbf, same can be said for all the kids San Diego picked up, and they basically all worked)

Nashville really going for it. They've probably become the Most Interesting Team in the League this offseason.

Since Tokyo 2020 Italy has amassed sports achievements that were simply unimaginable before them. I could make a list but it would not be enough. This is a golden age, and ironically it coincided with our two biggest sports historically (men’s soccer and men’s cycling) struggling like they never did

FIS is the federation in charge of alpine skiing, cross country, freestyle skiing, ski jumping, and believe it or not snowboarding, but they’re NOT in charge of biathlon and they are MAD ABOUT IT

LISA VITTOZZI 20/20 IN THE PURSUIT OMFG!!!! We’re going for the record 8th gold and the first in our history in biathlon!! At home!!! In what is basically biathlon’s Wembley. Absurd. Absurd

ICYMI Federica Brignone just completed the greatest Olympics ever. Last year she was the best skier on the planet, had a career-threatening injury at an unimportant race last April. Came back with no races this year and won TWO golds absolutely dominating the competition. never seen anything like it

Putting numbers behind 'Schmetzer Ball' A new tool allows us to clearly identify the Sounders’ playing characteristics.

Putting numbers behind 'Schmetzer Ball'

Had a blast putting this one together for @sounderatheart.com. Once again, shoutout @futi.live for making advanced "style of play" analysis accessible for the public.

a kangaroo with 3 gold medals and a capybara with one gold medal welcome a moose to the Winter Olympic medal club

ON DAY 9 OF THE OLYMPICS, CANADA FINALLY WINS ITS FIRST GOLD

Federico Pellegrino. That’s it. That’s the skeet.

Things you apparently say a whole month after a Greenland annexation threat

MLS people, I’m looking for some Love is Blind people. Season 10 is based in Ohio, and there’s a guy who was a “soccer star” and he talked about the draft and how he was supposed to be drafted early in the first round.

Soooooo I went down a rabbit hole and I’ve figured it out

Yes there are some very small hills people learn the basics of the jump on. I’d also guess that if you lived in the general vicinity of a ski jumping hill growing up, that thing is big enough that one would notice and that if they had even the smallest affinity for it, they can dream about it

Dutch speed skater Jenning de Boo has King Boo on his skates. I truly love our Nerdlympics!

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

The Compliance Officer Who Flagged Epstein — And Lost Her Job An FBI interview reveals Deutsche Bank’s internal warnings about Jeffrey Epstein and Jared Kushner — and alleged retaliation against the whistleblower.

Deutsche Bank fired a compliance officer for flagging gross irregularities surrounding movement of funds by Epstein and Kushner, much of it in and out of Russian and Russian offshore banking centers. www.levernews.com/the-complian...

Team pursuit speed skating looks fucking nuts

MEDALHA DE OURO BRASIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLL

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen becomes the first South American ever to win a medal in any Winter Olympic event!!!!!

And now with Discord going full panopticon I really and truly mean *no* existing avenue

Fandom is one of the greatest things humans have developed, truly, but the current environment in the spaces where fandoms exist basically means there is no avenue for it not to turn abrasively toxic

BRAZIL IS A WINTER OLYMPICS GOLD MEDALIST!!! Lucas Pinheiro Braathen YOU are an Olympic champion and a trailblazer!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

my take is that tanking isn't actually a problem. Every tanking team, minus the Kings, eventually gets good enough to at least TRY after a couple years. Everybody takes their turn in the dregs. Detroit went from historically bad to best in the East! It sorts itself out.

Massive moment for Brazilian sports in an hour. Lucas Pinheiro could win gold in the giant slalom. He’s leading after the morning session. Brazil has never won a winter sports medal. Raised in Norway (where his mum’s from) but adored in Brazil. Will be huge 🇧🇷 ⛷️

Just to be clear, forced emigration is still genocide.

CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF!

(I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)

Fits incredibly well under a country with RFK Jr as Health Secretary honestly

Sounders stay undefeated in this whole Getting Good Players thing

So they’ve just made MLS fantasy like Serie A fantasy. Which on the surface it’s not bad bc fantacalcio is so popular around here. But also kind of meh bc the app for fantacalcio is a mess and it’s exactly 0% of the appeal why we play it. Fantacalcio preceded apps and could be done easily w/out it
