[instrument of surrender playing mournfully in the distance]
From @theathletic.com: The Norwegian skier Atle Lie McGrath was heartbroken after he lost a slalom gold medal that was his to take. He threw his poles, unstrapped his skis, and stormed off, alone with his thoughts as the world watched on.

Can she just insist that you never saw her fall in the first place?

Really like how there's a genuine chance this will be the Prime Minister and the President in three years.

I'm not the first person to say this but Newsom has been running the best Shadow Primary campaign and it's not even especially close.
Proud to partner with UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to sign an MOU deepening climate cooperation between California and the UK.

As communities face extreme weather and rising costs, we’re accelerating innovation and investing in solutions to tackle climate change.

the Irish censorship regime was insane until, what, the late 1980s or so?

Cycling is the only skill mentioned in the prologue that Angel does not utilise in the denouement.
Pegg had never made an action flick before. He spent 4 weeks on an intensive fitness regime, as well as carrying out weapons training. He was also proud of the fact he learned how to skid a bicycle properly along the way.

HOT FUZZ was released 19 years ago today. The second entry in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy and one of the most beloved British comedies this century, the tale of how it was made is like firing two guns whilst jumping through the air…

Okay can anyone help with this? You can’t even find clips of it but I swear this did exist.

If there’s one thing this site can do it’s find out the origins of a song featured on a very meta Cartoon Network show from twenty five years ago.
Right, you know that song that General Specific and Private Public sing? The one that goes "glockenspiel / tuba"? It lives in my head, rent-free, but I have absolutely no knowledge of it. It sounds too odd to have just made-up for the show but I don't have any reference of it outside the episode.

My favourite bit of these stories are when someone openly admits to breaking Spanish nationality law and being scared of being found out.

The skiers in the Slalom are absolutely terrible. They keep smacking into those polls. I could do better than that.

I'm not an Obama hype man, but as with Justin Trudeau and Mamdani, he has a rare talent in being able to articulate complex issues (in this case, the Fermi Paradox), in a very clear, elevator pitch way.

I think abolishing PCCs has broken something in his head.

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.
Celsius is the scientist temperature measurement in that it’s the most conceptually coherent , Fahrenheit is the engineer temperature measurement in that it’s actually optimized to be useful for it’s main use case of communicating everyday temperatures.

It's so funny that the two Commonwealth countries doing the best in the medal table are the two ones that famously do not get that much snow.
