Swimming nerd here - It’s been sort of a thing, but nowhere near this level. Lilly King, mentioned above as being outspoken in this case and others, has had a semi-feud with Russian rival and person with a “Doping Scandals” section of her Wikipedia page Yulia Efimova for a few years. (It peaked with a literal finger…

Nick Cafardo really hasn’t been putting much work into it recently. 

The Wahls usually only have a problem with Vietnamese dudes.

the U.S. never had reason to fear that their dream of becoming the first team to win back-to-back Women’s World Cup trophies was in any real danger.

This gives me strength right now. 

Da boom na namena, indeed.

Should already have netting everywhere.

There’s no reason every park doesn’t have protective netting. 

In a vacuum, I agree the “Dany’s turn is misogynist!” isn’t super justified if you look at the show as closely as we giant nerds do, but in context of the last couple seasons, eeehhhh. (Sansa saying all that rape helped her like, what, grow up? Not great!)

Sure, but I think the bigger problem is that it all happened on fast-forward. She was in Slaver’s Bay for like a thousand years, she just up and went full nutzo in like 4 minutes. 

I cannot remember the last time I took a bath. I am 30 and it may have been when I was like, 10 and sick.

Natasha AKA Black Widow is running point on a makeshift Avengers team of War Machine, Captain Marvel, Rocket, and Nebula.

“It was there,” Biden says, “in August of 2017, we saw Klansmen and white-supremacists and Neo-Nazis come out in the open. Their crazed faces, illuminated by torches, veins bulging, and baring the fangs of racism, chanting the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the ‘30s.”

People are going to poop their pants. 

Even if, say, five athletes in an event have the standard, that still leeches most of the drama from the Trials—five athletes would be half or less of the field in a given final, and they’d be the only ones racing for anything at all.

I think I’ve shared this before, but to me at least, he’ll never be able to do anything more harmful than this:

Yi wasn’t even 7 feet, was he? Those other dudes were way taller.
