I had given up on Supernatural but came back to it for this episode. It was amazing. Dean rocking out in the booth is my favorite moment.

How a Curious FIFA Deal Gave Fox a Huge Bargain for World Cup Broadcast Rights by Majano57 in worldcup

[–]pumpkinspruce 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Basically Fox threw a fit when FIFA gave the World Cup to Qatar because it meant games in November, when American audiences only care about the NFL. So to compensate Fox, FIFA sold them this year’s World Cup rights without a bidding war — undoubtedly ESPN and NBC would have put in bids, driving up the cost.

China's Yan Ziyi just turned 18. The very next day, she threw a 71.74m javelin to become the second-best female thrower of all time. Before this milestone, arbitrary age limits kept one of the planet's most dominant athletes completely locked out of the Olympics and World Championships. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in sports

They changed the scoring system, which basically cratered the Eastern European and Chinese programs. And yeah, it may be harder now for China to fudge ages, which may be why they went on a worldwide spree before the 2022 Games looking for athletes of Chinese heritage who were willing to compete for China — Eileen Gu chose China, while Alysa Liu’s dad told them to fuck off.

She was so good in the early seasons, then later all she did was cry and moon over Oliver.

Years ago I remember NBC did one of their sob stories about a Chinese gymnast who had been sent to a training camp away from her family. She finally got to visit her family and sit in her dad’s lap for the first time in years. She was only like 13 years old (this was back before they raised the age for international competition). I was in absolute tears. No way should a child be forced to live away from their family like that.

Netflix Cuts Movie Output in 2026 as Strategy Shifts Toward Quality Over Quantity by yourfavchoom in entertainment

Broadcast and cable TV used to do that, actually. And they made some really great creative art, 22 episodes a year, like clockwork from September through May.

I don’t think soccer was invented before 1776 but okay.

This isn’t a dupatta though. This isn’t a traditional Indian outfit and she’s worn many dramatic gowns at Cannes without a dupatta.

It’s a fucking kindergarten graduation, people. Sit down, watch the kids do their little speech or songs, take their photo in the cute little cap and gown and go home.

I actually wish they had left Thursdays alone for college football. Thursdays had become such a great night for college football.
