The best is weird stuff where you don’t know the rules like shotput, triple jump, diving. Nothing too exciting

An unhinged Olympics
Mar 27, 2024
^ that icon reminded me of the Olympics, and the chaos that organised events can hold. Like the Olympics today is highly regarded as a celebration of peak human physicality, but its' history is really fascinating and also works with the claim to put normal people in the events today so we can understand how far we have all come lol
One guy disappeared in the 1912 marathon, royalty participated, there's the Jamaican bobsleigh team that had a whole movie based on their experiences at the Winter edition (Cool Runnings) etc etc.

Yesterday the teams got to run through their routines in the arena and you can watch them on Peacock (search for podium)
There are no announcers on the broadcast and no one in the stands, it’s just sights and sounds of gymnastics for 90 minutes.
Really pleasant and what I most love about Olympicsstreaming

At a party last night I remembered that my childhood bff (Anna) and I got Webkinz at the same time we learned about the mystical bits of Catholicism. Two secular Jewish girls became obsessed with the magic, impossibility, and depth of romance surrounding saints, relics, angels, and being saved. It seemed just like a plot line from a video game or Y/A book series. So we named our Webkinz as follows: the panda was Apostle Paul, the pig was Mary Magdalene, and we saved up our money for a hippo we called Pope JP2. Because we were like 11, we got pretty good at games and nothing felt more hysterically funny than seeing “Mary Magdalene” up in second place on the Webkinz leaderboards. I cracked myself up as a kid and tbh that shit is just as funny now.
