this american male figure skater is dressed sorta like He-Man. Sure he did a back flip but I will always think of Surya Bonaly. For reasons.

When I worked at a large university in the English Midlands, my office overlooked the section of the park where the university Quidditch team used to train on a Wednesday afternoon. They had a Quidditch coach who gave out to them for being insufficiently committed to Quidditch.

Similar vibes.

My Canadian mother could tell you SO MUCH about what is happening, she knows all the characters and the rivalries, I find myself zoning out occasionally during the explanations…

I won’t forgive BBC for the fact that they cut off the skiing just before Cormac Comerford went to go to the curling.

The curling is on #winterolympics and the Team GB coach was screaming "curl!" at their curler.

These would be good prompts for a creative writing group.
It’s pretty grim, even by TaB and Chat standards.

Would it be a sunday morning without the Irish Times doing a puff piece on how great the Brits were in the North? Today we have ex-SAS saying they did nothing illegal, talking about govt betrayal. Oh the mirth, the numerous books, interviews, dogs on the streets etc were all imagining it!

New York landlords say they are at their breaking point as Mayor Zohran Mamdani begins to implement even more aggressive tenant-friendly policies.
