I loved this lady. I grew up watching her excel in ice skating in the 90s. Such an inspiring athlete.
She was one of the reasons I really wanted to be an iceskater as a young girl. What a badass.

I also remember she was snubbed many times by the judges for her athleticism and not fitting the mould

Just realized something, Melania: is a documentary about an Epstein girl, who married Epstein's best friend, directed by an Epstein client.

This clip isnโ€™t about art or the person in itโ€”itโ€™s about incentives. When visibility and reward shape behavior, patterns stop looking random. This moment says more about how narratives are built online than it seems. Watch closely.

Photo of the described owl art. It looks like muddy scratch marks on a mottled brown cave wall. The head is very round with two upright lines for ears and a line in the center for a beak. Numerous parallel lines suggest plumage on the wings.

The oldest known image of an owl:

More than 30,000 years ago, someone skillfully scratched the figure of a long-eared owl (Asio otus) into the soft outer layer of the walls of Chauvet Cave, France. The owl is looking backward over their wings, head turned 180 degrees
