Trump served Team USA burgers because of course he did
No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.

also noise pollution in the U.S. is almost entirely from cars and it’s literally giving people heart attacks
I wrote an article about it because it’s so absurd
Toronto harold satire site headline: "Canadian Olympic hockey teams to bring back silver medals to home country that has healthcare and stable democracy"
okay, this is funny, though
noise pollution causing actual real physical health problems in humans is one of those things that sounds fake but isn’t
The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

Platner's dismissive comments about sexual assault in the military were so disgusting that a candidate who had experienced assault in the service dropped out to endorse Mills rather than risk Platner getting into the senate. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/progressiv...
Giorgia Meloni to Vance at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony. #olympics
JD Vance arrives in Italy for the Olympic Winter Games and a meeting with Meloni.
Screenshot of an X.com post by Tom Bacon (@TomABacon) criticizing Vance for traveling with a large motorcade, eating American food instead of local cuisine, assuming conversations will be in English, and not bringing translators, concluding he “couldn’t manage a worse diplomat.”
Screenshot of an X.com post by Boris Alexander Beissner (@boris_beissner) saying “The expressions on their faces when #Meloni initially speaks only Italian,” followed by hashtags #Vance #Rubio #Olympics2026. Below is a video still of Giorgia Meloni seated in a formal chair wearing a gray suit during an interview.
Close-up video still showing a bearded man in a suit and blue tie (JD Vance) smiling tightly or looking uneasy, seemingly reacting during the same conversation or event referenced above.
This is both sad and hilarious.
