This one combined many of my least-favorite sports topics. Hard! Why isn’t there, erm, more BIATHLON and CURLING in the Connections puzzle?

*This* does seem accurate, tbf.
An image featuring a list titled "My Top Genres" with five music genres: Gothic Country, New Wave, Indie Folk, Indie, and Jazz. The design includes black and red circles on a light background and the Spotify logo.

Come on! Would a 74-year-old always be listening to the “freshest releases?”

Mixed messages, Spotify.
A colorful graphic featuring a cartoon character combining a flower and a green figure, making a peace sign. The text reads "Cloud State Society" at the top, with "My Role: Scout" and a description about listening to fresh releases below.

Someday, I vow, I’ll immediately rally, spitting back (text from the greatest protest signs) “That’s Mr. F to you.”

And this very year, I wasn’t sure if a young woman who passed me on the sidewalk, two blocks from my home, was calling me the F word or, for some reason, saying it to someone on her cellphone.

“I would bet that any gay man who has been called a faggot, whether spat by a bully or muttered by his own father, remembers when and where it happened.”

I vividly remember the F word being muttered at me from one of a group of four men on the streets of downtown Beacon, N.Y. in 2010.

What was I saying about non-powerhouse teams?

1. SWE
2. NOR
3. FRA

A sprint for the bronze! (Poor Fichtner!)

IMHO, there should be more skiing in the single mixed relays. It’s mostly a dang shooting competition! But I like how the non-powerhouse teams . . . have a chance. Greenland, anyone? 🇬🇱🇬🇱🇬🇱
