  1. Past hour
  2. Prime Minister sticking his nose into the business, suggesting tennis should be in Melbourne and rowing in Penrith
  3. Today
  4. And I hope they'll do a parody of the Last Supper as a bonus! It's still an American tradition, given the number of TV series that have done it.
  5. Yesterday
  6. If they do this, I hope they go the Rio 2016 route and present it as a forcible occupation that left marks on our history and culture. On a related note, while I do enjoy the Salt Lake 2002 opening and occasionally rewatch it, the entire American West segment is very questionable because it conveniently ignores the actual history of colonization and settlement of the country. Of course I don't expect them to be graphic either, but yeah... I think Rio did an okay job at presenting the negative aspects of its society in a way that is still appropriate for the occasion. yes please
  7. I do. Here is the setlist: https://programme.parade-leshow.com/programme-c3a7sasn30/full-view.html The vinyl was also purchasable on site (shortly, he quickly sold out) and should now be avalaible everywhere.
  8. I hope the creative team have the guts to present a tribute to West Hollywood, and have RuPaul lead a tableau recreating Washington crossing the Delaware. And then a long tribute to the foundations of LA, featuring Mexican immigrants, Spanish friars and Conquistadors founding the first mission and stamping Iberian culture on the west coast of the continent. I’m serious
  9. I’m a bit nervous to try. Cross fingers I can remember my password Edit: Phew! It worked. I tried it on another device first just to be safe.
  10. If the Bidding Process is Changed, how will this affect India 2036’s chances? With Kirsty Coventry becoming IOC President on 23 June, what she does about the current bidding process is being keenly followed, particularly by the India 2036 bid team. From ITG “A key question remains: will she maintain Bach’s approach of allowing a “preferred bid” to bypass competition and enter exclusive negotiations?” “If no changes are made to the process and IOC members remain excluded from selecting the host city, India is widely seen as the frontrunner. Coventry was directly asked about the influence of Ambani within the IOC, given her family’s status as one of Asia’s wealthiest.” “The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has already submitted an expression of interest to the IOC’s Future Host Commission for the 2036 Games—marking the first concrete step in what has been months of informal discussions with the governing body.” “With this move, India has advanced from the 'Informal Dialogue' phase to 'Continuous Dialogue' in the selection process. At this stage, the IOC assesses the feasibility of potential host cities and their Olympic-related plans.” “The next step would be 'Targeted Dialogue', requiring a formal bid for a specific Games edition, which would then be evaluated by the Future Host Commission. The process ultimately concludes with the selection of the host city.” Credit: Coventry commits to Olympic bid process review - ITG
  11. Great memories of being there during Paris 2024.
  12. (yes, sorry but they don't have a Bluesky account)

  14. To be even more in the theme of the forum, the Olympics :
  15. Heads only need to roll figuratively. I want them all locked up for life under the worst conditions they created for others. And while for Trump, that means not doing many years, Noem, Vance, Miller, Hegseth etc should be put away for decades in misery.
  16. Technically there's something to do But that requires a full national civil unrest and a good part of the military on the people's side.
  17. Yes, that got us into a problem because there's way too many people out there who voted for the wrong candidate. Still waiting for you to tell me what I'm supposed to do
  18. it wasn't a joke, DUMMY!! You made it out to be a joke!! You're even more DEPRAVED than I am!!
  19. okay maybe i was a bit too harsh here, it's just that the entire thing is starting to get incredibly stressful (see my last message above) but to echo my messages from near the start of the administration, apologizing for what half our country did does nothing at all whatsoever. instead, try to make sure that your friends, neighbors, community, etc. feel safe (especially if they are in the groups that trump and his gang targets), any action helps no matter how small.
  20. "i voted, nothing else i can do!" is exactly how we got into this problem
  21. And what would you like me to do about it?
  22. Salt Lake 2002 was special. Held less than 18 months after 9/11 and bought the world together for 16 days. Oh and we had that Aussie winning gold in the short track
  23. this is such a lazy, self-righteous response because there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do.
