one thing that makes Norway’s dominance even crazier than it seems is their team isn’t even that big — Norway has 31 medals (and counting) from a team of only 80 athletes, which is 13th biggest
(This is because they basically don’t compete in hockey, snowboarding, or the sliding sports)

going to give myself twenty internet demerits for referencing the 2028 primary two years in advance (which I believe should be illegal, at least on this website) but the worst Democratic candidate, whoever you consider that to be, will at least try to reverse this and no Republican will.
Vaccines are genuine bona fide miracles, and destroying a miracle is a grave sin, yet that is what our country is dead set on doing.

Do you think when Hans Zimmer was working on the Gladiator score he thought that seemingly like a third of figure skaters at the Olympics a quarter century later would be using it as their skating music or no

It’s cool how the U.S. political and electoral system favors republicans, sometimes enormously, and yet they’re all still frothing lunatics and/or petulant whiners about everything
Trump has managed to get elected, twice, under our current system.
“There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!”

the superbowl included an ad that actively sought to associate Musk with a product that wasn’t even his (the ai dot com one) which is proof of a colossal failure of civil society
Elon Musk genuinely has to be regarded as one of history’s pre-eminent mass murderers
HORRIFYING -
Dismantling USAID & cancelling >80% of aid caused ~750,000 deaths by mid-2025
🧸Most were children
⌛️ Many died within the first year
😰 Preventable deaths were mainly from:
- HIV, TB, malaria
- Maternal & fetal deaths
- Malnutrition

Ten months later the answers to these questions appear to be “nothing,” “no one,” “maybe some consulting on ‘trade deals’?” and “no”
The thing is, we have no idea what this actually means
These are astronomical levels of pro bono work, several times what these firms actually do in a given year. So, like, what is going to actually happen? Who is going to do the work? What work? Is there oversight of hours spent and billing rates?
