If you are too young to remember Surya, she was a fucking ICON. The only person in history to do a BACKFLIP with a SPLIT ON THE AIR, which she’d land ON ONE FOOT

The coverage I’m catching up on switched from ice dance to pairs skating when I was briefly in the kitchen and I was so confused for a minute when I thought I was was seeing an ice dancer throw their partner.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

I realize that reading is not something everyone enjoys or can make time for, for a variety of reasons. But a coworker just showed me an AI service she’s excited to subscribe to that will apparently “summarize any book” for her and I’m not sure she understood why I visibly recoiled.

A reminder that many places can get CBC coverage of the winter games and it is a much more enjoyable experience to watch the Canadian coverage than the US coverage especially for winter sports.
