  1. So Cooper and Whitmer have bowed out publicly. So the field is Walz, Kelly, Buttigieg and Shapiro. I like seeing the remaining candidates “audition” on tv. Trump did that with his main 3 candidates. I still think she picks Kelly or Buttigieg bc she has good working relationships with both of them. Shapiro was the hot name early but it seems like Walz is gaining more traction. Have to see how they do on every channel. It’s a casting call so to speak.
  2. Fucking assassin! This next one has a cool angle of his performance bc you can watch his teammates going crazy! Very cool. 😎 I thought after the second day we didn’t have a shot at the team medal. 🏅 fuck ya we did! That gives men’s gymnastics such a boost. It’s been 16 years. Something to build on. A little taste of success suits them.
  3. I guess no plan B for the Triathlon? it’s not like the Seine snuck up on them. Still too dirty to swim in. Their mayor is going to wind up glowing in the dark at some point when she got in there to prove it was ok. It still measures daily in fecal bacteria E. Cool cool cool. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2024/07/28/paris-olympics-cancels-triathlon-swim-practice-seine/74577627007/
  4. Strutting his stuff. Getting that cap. I don’t know why but his facial expressions in the pool crack me the fuck up.

  6. I do wish the announcers during the women’s volleyball wouldn’t talk so damn much. I’m probably being overly critical but I like hearing the crowd and watching the strategy without the constant yapping during the actual play. They never shut up.
  7. the surfing 🏄‍♂️ is really fun to watch.
  8. Do we even have a realistic shot at the podium in men’s gymnastics? I mean individual events sure but as a team medal it looks like best shot is bronze but that seems unlikely.
  9. Ya. The text of the tweet is wrong (it’s not unexpected bc of that) but it was the only tweet with that clip. That I could find.
  10. I don’t know why this makes me so happy but it does.
  11. His SS name has been revealed as Bobcat. Surly something can be done with this.
  12. Congrats Chloe Dygert! Took a nasty spill but claimed the Bronze! Bronze medal! Fuck ya! way to regroup and get on that podium girl! Girl power!
  13. So watching the commentators: the pool in Paris is more shallow than the pool 4 years ago. It makes a difference bc the deeper the pool the less turblulance. More turbulence slower times. We won’t see as many WR but when we do that will be pretty fucking amazing.
  14. Congrats to US women’s synchronized 3M spring board! Silver Medal! Fuck ya!
  15. So many people are googling Gojira after the opening ceremony. This was so well done. Much of it in secret. Much of it couldn’t be practiced. Shit rain that wouldn’t fuck off. I thought the boats gave each country a chance to shine in a way that was refreshing. This set a new standard.
  16. https://swimswam.com/which-country-has-the-largest-delegation-at-the-2024-paris-olympics/ yes.
  17. The thing is who takes over if not NBC. I can only see either CBS, ABC or Fox. CNN is part of the CBS stuff. You need multiple channels. Disney kissed ABC’s ass goodbye. ESPN cannot do it. So you have either Fox or CBS.
  18. My parents once banned me as a child from watching the Price is Right for one year. Apparently, I became a complete asshole during the showcase showdown. Yelling at contestants. I mean it tracks with me but y’all already knew I was fucking weird.
  19. The only thing I was thinking on the catwalk part of the program (bc of the rain) was this:
  20. Everything cool I find (if it’s not NBC/Olympic copyright gets ganked) here you go
  21. I’m also excited to see the surfing competition in Tahiti. Colin Jost as a commentator should be fun. Hopefully, the waves cooperate. https://www.today.com/today/amp/rcna163126
  22. sorry I couldn’t get enough of this. This was my favorite part. I have other moments I loved but this absolutely rocked!!!
  23. We are all in Paris. @immamac sent us to be ambassadors for surly.
  24. https://apnews.com/article/trump-bullet-shrapnel-ronny-jackson-christopher-wray-cb780b9d1a078f0be4191682e75101cf FBI confirmed Friday that it was indeed a bullet that struck the former president’s ear, moving to clear up conflicting accounts about what caused the former president’s injuries after a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania rally. “What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the agency said in a statement. ——————— I saw that as I trying to find more footage of the opening ceremony (NBC cut a lot of cool shit apparently.) I know it won’t put to rest stuff bc it just won’t. But I hope that the breakdown in communication and whatever else led to a man losing his life will be revealed (as much as it can) so this shit doesn’t happen again. It says a lot we have not had an attempt since 1981. I hope all the investigations and hearings and Cheatle’s resignation will lead to our candidates being better protected. Thats more important to me. I don’t have to like Trump. I don’t have to like him to say that I think he was hit by a bullet/ or fragment of one and I hope this does NOT ever happen to him or any other political or high profile figure. I pray that the SS will get the resources that need and the manpower they need as well.
  25. Super memorable. Bravo La France. Outside of the speeches being too long and killing the vibe. That was awesome.
