Aristotle was not Belgian, the central message of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
The Winter Olympics is chock full of athletes doing crazy shit at world class levels. No shade to summer Olympians, but the winter sports are for those with a screw loose. Barrel down a mountain at 90 mph? Jump off a ramp and fly? Aerial gymnastics after launching yourself skyward? Hockey?

With the start of the Olympics, it's time for your BlueSky alpine skiing correspondent to check in. The US women's team, both speed and tech, are on heaters. Breezy, Lindsey, Jacki and Bella could take home multiple speed medals. On tech, Mikaela is obvious, but Paula and Nina might nab hardware

She skis FOR China. How about that for a nod to her heritage....
She's the Brett Hull of freestyle skiing. The greatest Chinese skier America has ever produced.

Tesla’s US market share dipped below 50% for the first time in 2024—a sign that its first-mover advantage has faded since it delivered the first Roadster in 2008 and the Model S in 2012.

Let's check this math.
260k people of Somali descent in the US
Approx 83% with legal status or in process of getting status
That equals 44,200 "illegal Somalis"
Meaning that EACH "illegal Somali" is now flush with $316,742.08 of taxpayer money?????????
Simple math exposes the bullshit lies

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.
