actual working mathematican OR a collection of three IID random variables stacked on top of each other in a trench-coat NOT an "independent researcher"
like sure we can have Heated Rivalry and Interview with the Vampire but also our rights are being stripped. this is a more normal state of affairs than we might want to believe

was thinking about pre-AIDs gay rights earlier and there was an interesting thread about the way there was so much double think in the 70s and 80s, like you had all these insanely gay cultural icons like Liberace and Queen but also no one talked about it. And I feel like we're slipping back to that

plausible doesn't mean likely! just plausible

crazy to have a sport called skeleton where you plummet down an ice tube head first

February 11, 2026 at 10:54 PM

February 11, 2026 at 10:53 PM

Sorry I just believe only team sports should be this horny. If you've got a number of people out there where sex is plausible in a non-porn scenario (so lets say 4 or less) it shouldn't be horny
February 11, 2026 at 10:51 PM
I think....ice dance is too horny to be a sport.

sports that wouldn't immediately kill you if you, a normal person, tried to compete in the winter olympics:

- curling
- singles rink-based skating events (can just stand there)
- cross country skiing (flat terrain is safe)

everything else you die instantly. which is why winter olympics >>>
February 11, 2026 at 10:46 PM
bro there's a post on tumblr where people are like "which olympic event would you be willing to compete in as a normal person pacer" and people are voting for the downhill skiing??? like babe I'm sorry that track would fucking shred you that thing is like is at like a 70 degree angle
February 11, 2026 at 10:42 PM
like babe that show was about a Canadian hockey PLAYER being destroyed. the sport is fine
February 11, 2026 at 10:39 PM
I swear to god someone showed him Heated Rivalry and it's scrambled his brain he keeps posting about Canadian hockey being destroyed
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

it's almost mean to make the italians play hockey, really.
February 11, 2026 at 10:36 PM
out shot by 40 shots...just giving up with 45 seconds on the clock.........we're gonna see ww3
February 11, 2026 at 10:34 PM
hockey, it's barely their fault they seem to have just picked some randos who were hanging around outside or something. but they're playing a pretty bad third
February 11, 2026 at 10:33 PM
I mean they did have a fantastic first period and no one expected much so. unfortunately there's three periods of hockey
February 11, 2026 at 10:32 PM
you almost feel bad
February 11, 2026 at 10:30 PM
bro what are the italians DOING
February 11, 2026 at 10:30 PM
if the fucking garbage Tkachuks win over Crosby McDavid and Mack I'm literally going to like. I don't even know. fedpost about florida probably
February 11, 2026 at 10:29 PM
I just know these NHL boys are desperate to swing
February 11, 2026 at 10:17 PM
some of this olympic hockey, man
February 11, 2026 at 10:13 PM
i think there should be speed skating where they put little rockets on the back of their skates
February 11, 2026 at 7:03 PM
God the aughts were so fucked up it literally took me until my early 30s to truly internalize that I’m not fat and out of shape and I run like 10 miles a week and take four different exercise classes
February 11, 2026 at 5:52 PM
Is that thing they say about eating pineapples true. People on the left should be thinking seriously about that
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
