Sorry but I love it every time that the fraud betting apps go health insurance mode and find the smallest discrepancy to justify not paying out to the inside traders who are its core customer base. Eat shit.

Imagine clinching your first-ever Olympic medal at 17... and having it confirmed by Alysa Liu! ❤️🥹🥉

Nakai Ami's reaction after her #MilanoCortina2026 free skate is truly priceless!

Can’t forget MadTV that started in 1995. My all time favorite FOX comedy show.

I get more of a Bender from Futurama vibe than #5 from Short Circuit.

YouTube video by TNT Sports Alysa Liu figure skates to PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson’s ‘Stateside’ 😮‍💨 | Winter Olympics 2026

if you watched the Winter Olympic figure skating it's worth looking back at clips from the non-competitive closing "gala" event on Youtube because they had a cameraman following the dancers around *on the ice* and the resulting footage is absolutely worth it www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZJD...

The Smiley Superstar | Elzyg What lessons will figure skating learn in the wake of Alysa Liu's triumph?

I'm all recovered from my Olympic hangover, but I still have the games on my mind. My latest essay: surveying the aftermath of Alysa Liu's win and how her success has revealed both an appetite for joy and a deep conflict about how to succeed in figure skating.

“Somehow, Timmy Spielberg returned.”

Warner Bros. has a history of chewing up and spitting out companies that acquired it. Remember when AOL dominated the Internet? It’s just a matter of time before this blows up.

For anyone with kids: Check out Y-Tribes, the YMCA alternative to Scouting. We enrolled our daughter in that instead of Scouting, and it was a great decision. Plus there were trans and non binary kids and they were as welcome as any other child. And access to YMCA summer and winter camp facilities.

This is hilarious. He knows the burgers are 3/4 sawdust.

Wow, the guy who builds cars that trap people inside during a fire makes an unsafe and unreliable AI, who could have predicted that?
