This one hits a little closer to home for me. I actually remember when Paul Van Slyke purchased this property and started building the Observatory (I got to visit frequently and even "helped" (in a very small small way) with its construction. I even remember a time when it was just the bui

I need to give @thekenchilds.com MAJOR props over his coverage of Bobsled action in Germany today. Absolutely fantastic job.
Even more mind-blowing was the fact that you took time to answer questions I had, without skipping a beat in coverage.
SUPER appreciative of your work & time today, Ken!

Good finish for them, considering both were almost like pinballs at some point in their races.
China's Dan Zhao and Qinwei Lin slide to fourth place, they've got a pair of good runs but just have too much in the runs ahead of them there. They're 29 behind the Americans with two to go.
Kreher & Jungk lead with 2 to go, so they'll medal for sure.

Looks like Germany 2 will be the team to beat at the Olympics. Absolutely FANTASTIC performance for both of the teamies in this duo!
The final skeleton race of the 2025/2026 World Cup season is the Mixed Team event from Altenberg. Always a fun event, if it's anything like the two races today we'll have a banger of a race on our hands

I was REALLY hoping the photo example you shared was not Mystique. That has to be absolutely heartbreaking for her. She's fought so hard the past 8 years to get where she's at now. (Yes, I've been following her and her journey *that* long)
USA's Mystique Ro with a race quickest start, but too much height out of Omega, hits the wall out of 5, scorpion there and that just destroys her time.
Otherwise, a really nice slide by Ro until 14 with another hit, and Ro is down into 11th of 11. Just a tough run for someone w/ a medal here

They don't respond symmetrically, either. This could get bad.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The moment when you see your own father comment on a status that confirms he would've sided with the Nazis when it came to what they did with the Jews. Never once in my life has he ever mentioned "migrants" and the "issue" with them. But all of a sudden now it's an issue. He's in the cult.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.
