If you can't think of another song there's always Bolero. @sandraboynton.bsky.social even has a kazoo version.
The announcers just said the music for these ice dancers is AI generated and I'd like to personally disqualify them

So the book I'm currently listening to is a sort of memoir written by a woman whose 2 sons both committed suicide and while normally, I also listen to audiobooks at work or on the bus . . . this one is for when I'm alone in my car.

There are 12 athletes from Ohio State University ( mix of current students and alums) at the winter Olympics. They're all there for women's hockey.

Roblox update. Kids and I are permanently banned from Slap Battles. Now we're playing Knock Out where you're a penguin trying to knock others off the ice flow.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Friends, this relative lost his life due to exposure in the elements last weekend. His family needs support, and this GFM is woefully underfunded.

Please consider donating if you’re able.

One election won't fix this, but it could be a start and a way to keep things from getting worse.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

For non-German speakers:

“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”
Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

My kids were born during the Obama administration, which well not perfect made me think they might grow up in a better world.
My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.
