Well. I've watched one and hope for 2 more before the Oscars (Jojo Rabbit and The Irishman). But pretty much the expected list (from what I've read) while other categories were more surprising.

I'm rather impressed that a movie that is "Meh" can get 7/10. Personally I'm at 8 or 9 (just watched it and was very pleased)

It's still rather questionable information. Doesn't seem impossible though, and it could very well have been a mistake following the current situation. But it's simply too early to come to any conclusions.

It's actually doing decent if you ask me

This could very well be my tv series highlight of 2020

I think it's one of the scandals I've heard most about...

Thomas Bach, Olympic Champion?

decent verse, but the chorus? What?

R. Kelly

I believe I can fly? Controversial ...

yup

It's really about considering how much the goalie moves. He didn't really in the moment of the shot.

It's not really a new one that a shot straight to the face is a red.

Rather interesting that the jumping quota have been confirmed. Is it just the Western European countries that are faster at confirming their participation?

Danish Olympic comitee confirming place in jumping, but no mention of eventing Edit: They're saying that they're expecting one but are yet to get the confirmation...

With Danish troops as well... Thank you very much, Trump!

If rumours are true (and it seems highly likely) Bjarne Riis will tomorrow announce that he and Virtu Cycling are new co-owners of NTT Pro Cycling Team. Danish rider Michael Carbel should also be joining the team. Time for another "Africa's Team" comment, @heywoodu?

It's dangerous to state that a single happening is due to climate change, yes. Therefore it would be rather problematic to say that we can be 100 % certain that this bushfire seaso is as extreme is due to the climate change. But this is NOT the normal change that is happening. Usually it would take the world about 5000 years to get 5 degrees warmer (celcius). Since the industrialisation (that would be about 170 years) it's already up by just above a degree and raising by about 0,2 degrees per decade. That would mean that we reach 5 degrees in about 200 years at the current pace. And even by the tiny risk that the "eco-maniacs" are wrong... What's to lose?

@Johne has a nice tracker: https://bluecattechnical.shinyapps.io/RoadtoTokyo/ And the official rankings: https://www.worldathletics.org/world-rankings/100m/men

Well. I usually have somebody doing good in team sports (though it's only the NFL and football (not giving you that one ) that I really watch a lot on "club" basis (maybe the local handball or basketball team from time to time). I've supported the Red Wings for a long time, but have only watched 2 NHL matches all my life. But the Pats and Barcelona have been the ones I could always trust to deliver. AIK Stockholm, Liverpool and Lyon from time to time and finally the local football team, AGF, is competing for a podium. But well, I'm not loud very often except on stadium

Well. Things will be silent here in the appartment for the rest of the playoffs with Pats (my team) and Saints (my roomie's team) out.

Bombay Bicycle Club with the first decent release of the year (Okay, Youtube got it just before New Year, but the official release was jan 1st). Good to see them back.
