Exactly (well, I was mocking, but that's on me.) Hester just ran through the coverage team who were RIGHT THERE.

Movie poster for the 1966 Batman film starring Adam West.

I seriously went off Bond films by the end of Moore's run. They were reaching Batman level camp/cartoonishness. I mean the 1966 Batman film!

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

This is a famously messy Norwegian biathlete who was banned in 2023 from the Biathlon World Cup because he accidentally fired his competition rifle in his hotel room (he was also teary and apologetic then)

In the interview with NRK, he first started by thanking everyone who has helped him on the path to his first individual Olympic medal. And then – unprompted – he made an admission: – And then there's someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago I met the love of my life. The most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her, and I told her about it a week ago. It's been the worst week of my life, he says tearfully in the interview.

Max Naumov with a spellbinding performance here at the Olympics.

Both of his parents were killed in that tragic plane crash about a year ago.

His dad told him to be resilient in one of their final conversations. And here he is. Holding a photo of them after his skate. My goodness.

Follow up: historic best jerseys for each country.
Thought we were getting that after seeing a better France jersey.
Would have preferred that you used better photos -- especially as opposed to tweets, even if from the teams themselves. e.g. have to watch a vid to see SUI.
Agree with CAN criticisms.

IDK, is this Darwinism at work?

I say we drag Gretzky back into this. It would bring me great joy knowing that it hurts his feelings that many Canadians hate him for being pro-trump. Some are new to it, but I'm an old time Gretzky-hater.

I would have turned myself into a human chew toy for him.

The best thing about this is how it'll remind Canadians what a POS Trump's buddy, Gretzky, is/has always been.

Gad, the video quality of the gif is horrible.

I think he's just mad that if he tried to take the Stanley Cup, like a Nobel Peace Prize, or some FIFA piece of shite, he would get a pounding.

APPARENTLY it costs the NHS over £300,000 a year to remove foreign objects from people's rectums. Why aren't we removing British objects instead? Was Brexit all for nothing? Gerry Paton, London

Was the pirate film genre bigger than westerns back then?

I've seen this mentioned more than once now. Do people not realize this is only the third Mixed Doubles Curling event?

Of the seven competing nations, not counting Russia, in the first event in 2018, only Norway (who had to beat China in a tiebreaker game that year) has made the semifinals since.

Your Lindsey Vonn advice is misogynistic trash. Keep it to yourself A recent opinion piece about Lindsey Vonn was ill-informed, condescending and misogynistic. Here's why.

Our opinion page published a guest piece on Lindsey Vonn that was misogynistic trash. I had thoughts.

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

A black, long-haired cat, with her left side shaved down to the skin. She is sitting up in a beige cat bed. She is obviously annoyed.

My Zoe doesn't normally get matted. But she did recently, and my attempts to de-mat her made it worse, much worse. Vet had to give her a de-matting shave, on both sides.

I owed her so many treats.

Americans are wondering if their own police departments are going to protect them from criminal federal agents and every time a video like this comes out, there's an answer.

Turns out it's BS.

It is at the Olympics.
Sixth in the 2018 Women's, fifth in the 2022 Women's and Mixed.

No. Only top 4 advance.
If Canada wins their last three, they should avoid the tiebreakers.
If not, it's the head-to-head records of the tied teams.
If there is still a tie, then it's (lowest) average Last Stone Draw distance -- which Canada hasn't been very good at.

Been meaning to ask, I remember when countries, especially non-traditional winter sport ones, were first starting their bobsled programs, they would buy the elite programs' old sleds. Were the old sleds at a technical disadvantage, or were they just old and beat-up, so naturally slower?
