Now I’m curious what the longest playlist runtime is in TISC history? @Vektor @OlympicIRL

luge team has called for a boycott of any FIL events which include the participation of Russian athletes.

USA Song Selection The US jury considered a handful of songs during our selection phase this year, and we’re finally ready to announce the song chosen to represent the United States of America! Still Woozy, Remi Woof - Pool Lyrics I met my friend at the pool He told me things are going well But not without the need to knock on wood We said goodbye After saving drowning killer bees And crying 'bout how much he loves his wife I told my friend about last night Risking my relationships and people I just can't resist And bad behavior I've been trying to hide Suffocate and drown She kissed me when I kissed her mouth She asking me, "Do you wanna skip town?" but I never could, babe You know that we both move too fast Why would you even ask me? I don't really know where my heads at I just know my heart's not there yet Or maybe I'm just crazy about the thought of thinking I adore you I met my friend at the pool She told me she was fucking up But I wouldn't call her anybody's fool We said goodbye And she touched down on London ground And I went back to trying to live my life I saw my late friend last night He came to see me in a dream I don't know why he visits me I worked all day just let me sleep, alright? Two shots in my head I felt my legs kick in my bed I remembered what my mama had said "Now child" You never could, baby I don't really know where my heads at I just know my heart's not there yet Or maybe I'm just waiting on someone to wake me I don't really know where my heads at I just know my heart's not there yet Or maybe I'm just crazy About the thought of thinking I adore you

Alysa Liu announced her retirement from figure skating today.

I don’t think it was mentioned yet, but there’s also a chance for universality quotas in golf now.

There’s nothing that directly handles an oddity like that, but based on the reallocation section it seems likely that the quota would just be allocated using the OROG

Archery has some notable changes to its qualification procedure, especially in the team events.

I say we just ditch the horses and just have people do the courses

This is actually what I’m most interested to see. I read the original news about this as a complete revamp of how the IOC handles universality, but the few documents published don’t seem too different from the past system.

I remember you sharing some posts about this @hckošice. Quite a story.

I’ve watched this performance a few times to week now. What an atmosphere!

I actually managed to see five (CODA, Dune, King Richard, Don’t Look Up, and Power of the Dog) of the films nominated for Best Picture this year. I was hoping to bump that up to eight over the weekend, but I just wasn’t feeling a lot of the films this year. I definitely want to watch Drive My Car and Belfast at some point though. I honestly wouldn’t describe any of the nominees I’ve seen as groundbreaking, phenomenal cinema. That said, I thought CODA, King Richard, and Dune were solid, easily enjoyable films (definitely worth a watch if you get the chance). My ranking for the five films I did see would be: 1. CODA 2. Dune 3. King Richard 4. Power of the Dog 5. Don’t Look Up I wasn’t able to finish Power of the Dog, and Don’t Look Up was to “on the nose” for me. I think the acting and camera work in Power of the Dog was superb. It just definitely wasn’t for me. The only other film mentioned on here that I saw was The Hand of God. Like @vinipereira I would have nominated it as well. I was quite shocked it wasn’t nominated. Edit: Oh, I should also add that I was furious The Summit of Gods was not nominated for best animated film. Beautiful storytelling and animation.
