Is it too much to ask that the face of the LA Olympics not feature prominently in the Epstein files?

Hal & Harper
“Halloween” (Ep. 5)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Lili Reinhart is really good in this. I’d never seen her in anything before.

NBC said Mikaela Shiffrin is the “greatest of all time” a lot for an athlete who hasn’t lived up to it lately. I can’t recall seeing that for an athlete in a while.

Injuries have been the downfall of the Atlanta Braves over the last two seasons. Spring Training hasn't even begun, and the team already has three players integral to the team out for most of the first half of the 2026 season. Is the injury bug ever going to go away? #Braves #MLB

I know a lot of it is the offensive line, but Drake Maye was almost the league MVP this season and he’s been horrible all postseason. #SuperBowl

For those wondering, there has never been a Super Bowl without a touchdown scored before. Something to keep an eye on for the second half. #SuperBowl

It just didn’t seem like a good idea for Lindsey Vonn to compete with a torn ACL. I hate that it ended this way. I feel like somebody on her team should’ve said “no.” #Olympics

Again CNN this is not the biggest news right now in this country. Why do you continue to act as if it is? At most it’s the fourth biggest story today.
