a Norwegian man crying on air while being interviewed, with his biathlon stats besides him

a Norwegian man crying on air while being interviewed, with his biathlon stats besides him

In the interview with NRK, he first started by thanking everyone who has helped him on the path to his first individual Olympic medal.

And then – unprompted – he made an admission:

– And then there's someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago I met the love of my life. The most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her, and I told her about it a week ago. It's been the worst week of my life, he says tearfully in the interview.

I’m in America and it doesn’t make sense, the same thing recently happened in my city to a bakery employee with legal status (he was fortunately released after much outcry)

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and has caused unintended offense. An updated tweet is upcoming.

One Year Since Trump’s Inauguration, the Damage to Environmental Policy Has Been Unprecedented The administration has taken a wrecking ball to everything from clean energy policy to chemical regulations

Today marks one year into President Trump's second term. And one thing has become clear: This puts corporations over people and the environment every time. β€œI don’t think it’s a stretch to say that President Trump is the most anti-conservation president we’ve seen,” said one policy expert.

β€œOne prediction that appears overblown is the idea that readers would fully adopt digital book formats, causing sales of print books to plummet the way sales of physical newspapers have. But people seem to like reading paper books…”
