My understanding is they find world class athletes then invite them to a jamboree and do matchmaking.

I've "voted blue no matter who" my entire life, even as much as I hate it.

Drawing the line at Newsom, this guy fuckin' sucks.

I know The Corey Hotline have their facility in Duluth too.

It's time we go back to IRC!

Deadspin | No, The Backflip Was Not Banned In Figure Skating Because Of Surya Bonaly<em></em> Deadspin | No, The Backflip Was Not Banned In Figure Skating Because Of Surya Bonaly<em></em>

deadspin.com/no-the-backf... there's a lot of context around the action. Doesn't take away from her being a badass doing it, but it was likely a "fuck it, lets do it" when her injury was preventing her from landing her planned triple lutz.

Surya likely did a backflip in lieu of a triple lutz because she was dealing with an injury and was in 6th place with little to no chance to medal, so she was likely doing it to show off knowing it was illegal. Was it badass? Hell yeah. But I think context matters a little here.

Semi-related, is there a spot that has the full parade of nations without the commercials? NBC feed cut to commercials for several nations I wanted to see (Finland, Croatia, Phillipines for example). YouTube searches just reveals a bunch of AI slop.

Any takeaways from watching?

What are you talking about? MGP barely votes with the dems. She's a fucking national disgrace and an embarrassment to the party. Joe Kent being in there wouldn't change the votes much, but it wouldn't look like we had a dumbass in our ranks.

it would be hilarious if all the Seattle teams start winning championships now that Mayor Big Sports Guy is out of office. (if the Sonics came back I think he'd have an aneurysm)

Drew Magary's prediction of the Seahawks / 49ers with him saying 9ers would win 20-10.

Freezing cold take from @drewmagary.bsky.social

I think we've seen a strong wave of progressive support that should continue. Even special election voting on social housing that *should* swing right and was endorsed by Bruce has won with commanding numbers.

It improved this last election at least!

It's just like Seattle's city council, where everyone on the council is a "registered Democrat" but are aside from the new guard, are mainly conservatives / centrists.

A fake tweet from former Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol saying "The haters said we couldn't do it. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters"

Raiders gonna trade Geno now they have the 1st locked up, he's perfect for the Vikings.

I still cant forgive him for 3.5 years of the worst goaltending imaginable to kick off the Kraken's first seasons.

Assuming he got sent to the locker room for concussion protocol.

@cjzero.bsky.social Ducks / Kraken game at 17:07 left, Vince Dunn had an absolute meltdown before going to the locker room lol

Seeing Randy in anything but a Mariners or Dbacks (and... ugh, I guess the Yankees) feels weird.

Flight home did a couple whirls before deciding it didn't need to land at Yakima and go through to Seattle.

Adam Smith was my previous congressman. He was formally lodged in moderate territory. Most of his elections featured progressive challengers he would easily beat since capital supported him.

If you have an AC unit also to clean the filters, which can simply be done by using a garden hose on the side of it (you should disconnect the circuit breaker first).

Looks like the kid is yelling "you suck ass!" lol

I remember the first time I saw it, I thought "oh god, here's some weird anti-trans advertisement" and well...I guess it least it wasn't that.

@cjzero.bsky.social did you get the Nashville predators #89 fighting with Chicago fans (kids) in the penalty box?

Is he a good family man?

I would kill for a functioning transit system in the US like Japan has.
