Canada’s Kurt Oatway critical of the para alpine skiing conditions after missing a gate and ending his run.
He says the Paralympics need to be moved earlier in the winter. Spring skiing just isn’t it.
The snow is slush. It’s not ideal for the athletes. At all.

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

'Rock solid' majority opposed to Alberta independence: Abacus Data poll | CBC News
About a quarter of Albertans support the province leaving Canada, but the majority — nearly two-thirds — are against it, according to a new poll from Abacus Data.
"More than half believe Premier Danielle Smith would vote in favour of separation ...despite Smith’s repeated position that she prefers a strong and sovereign Alberta, within a united Canada."
Albertans are tired of this separatist government.

What is there to “debate?” This must be unilaterally condemned in the strongest possible way.

These two are absolutely smashing their Paralympic debut.
Canada’s Kalle Ericsson and his guide Sierra Smith won silver in the visually impaired downhill on Saturday.
And here today they win bronze in the visually impaired Super-G.

This is fascinating. The actual study is here: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10..... Note that "Women had a significantly lower probability of having zero hasslers than men and, correspondingly, had higher expected counts of hasslers." Hmmm, why could that be?

Iran may be activating sleeper cells outside the country, alert says
The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as “an operational trigger” for “sleeper assets."
Honestly, maybe if Americans started to experience war on their soil, they would be less likely to just get grumpy about leaders invading foreign nations every 15-20 years like clockwork.
This AWFUL, but also probably overdue.
The amount of fuckery the USA has done in West Asia* is unending.

Live Nation settles US antitrust case
Live Nation Entertainment has reached a proposed settlement with the U.S. Justice Department, according to a court hearing on Monday.
Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.
The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.
But Trump just let them settle out of court.
