This year’s winner stayed submerged for a staggering 1 hour, 45 minutes and 18 seconds, living up to her fitting and iconic name, Prune.

    Johannes Klæbo Ran Everybody Off The Course
    https://defector.com/johannes-klaebo-ran-everybody-off-the-course?giftLink=a7f295d7468cbedb3bbbb55a9dd7825e
    Televisually speaking, my one complaint about the Winter Olympics is that even with expert commentary, the skills on display in many events are not so obviously different from one another that I can tell them apart. I cannot tell any trick that anyone on skis or a snowboard does from any other trick that anyone else does, I have to take Johnny Weir's word for what is an axel vs. what is a salchow, and watching ski jumping is like looking at a painting. But when it comes to Johannes Klæbo, perhaps the best athlete at these Games, it is hilariously obvious that no other cross-country skier can touch him. For one, he's up there, while his competitors are back there, but more relevant to our purposes, he can pound out the pace on skis in a way that nobody else can. Look at this man go.

    Why Navalny dart frog poison announcement was deliberately timed

    Naming the person or government allegedly responsible for such a political assassination - if the claim of poisoning is substantiated - is a form of information attack.

    A pilot fired over Kristi Noem’s missing blanket and the constant chaos inside DHS
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/a-pilot-fired-over-kristi-noem-s-missing-blanket-and-the-constant-chaos-inside-dhs/ar-AA1WfjbG
    In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn’t moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.
