Having once been a rather fit ballerina who dated a very fit curling champion (in the days when 🦕 roamed the earth), I can only respond with respect, joy and a little nostalgic jealousy to such articles. Carpe diem, kids!

My dad refuses to eat cheese. Nobody knows why. He used to love Mom's cherry cake until she made the mistake of calling it by the proper name - cherry *cheese*cake - after which he refused to partake. Utterly baffling.
On the topic of picky eaters, I just remembered a really happy memory about my father, so I'm going to share it. My dad would eat NOTHING that came out of the ocean. Nada. Which meant that my mom, who adores seafood, would sometimes have to prepare two separate meals. One for us and one for him.

I would personally prefer to space out those moments of peak happiness so I could enjoy each one thoroughly, but good for her! A gold medal AND a fiancee is one heck of a great day.
in more fun Olympic news, downhill gold medalist Breezy Johnson got engaged at the finish line of the super-G
(and yes, she "may have told him that I just always kind of had the dream of getting engaged at the Olympics" so this is the proposal she wanted)

Great little thread on the value of reducing ableist language in your writing.
I try to be hyperaware of ableist language while translating. It’s usually the obvious choice bc it's so baked into English. But it's hurtful and enforces negative associations. It's also just bad writing and lazy as all get out.

This is quite the read.
I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid.
I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

James Van Der Beek’s wife has a gofundme to try and ensure her children don’t lose their home.
This is the reality of America’s for profit healthcare system.
James auctioned off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia.
Costars raised money.
His cancer still left them financially devastated:

The fact that a well known actor had to do this tells me how fucked the healthcare system of my home country is.
GoFundMe is now how Americans pay for healthcare.

Love that Fiji is dreaming about peacocks, which makes me wonder if those are pleasant dreams or snake-style ones involving aggressive peacocks?

This and the nested link provide some background on the cross-border bridge mess, and a heart-warming tale of a billionaire getting some actual jail time for defying court orders.

Absolutely yes. I'm similar to you about all of this, but when I got to be in the same room as Leonard Nimoy and then *shake his hand*, my entire brain just blue-screened. I was lucky the event was too busy for him to stick around long enough to notice!
