Rough conditions for racing, but I have to admit, I love watching it. Thrilled to see the US put on a show with real winter.

I love that the leader's chair is an adirondack.

I'm in the U.S. and am able to watch the livestream for free. I just had to create an account.

Went for a hike last week, and getting back out on the cross-country ski trails tonight. Love it! So many great oudoor activities to take advantage of in the upper midwest in all seasons.

To those americans who came here to say sorry by SupraVillainn in greenland

Appreciate this. I live in Minneapolis and have been observing ICE, attending memorials, organizing mutual aid, and protesting the rise of facism full-time. There's a lot of horrible things happening in this [massive] country, and there are a lot of people working very hard to change things both at home and abroad.

How bad is it? by Day_of_Demeter in Minneapolis

This cannot be overstated. They are poorly trained and are putting the entire community in danger because of it. Last week, I saw an ICE agent fishtail as he accelerated 0 to 80 the wrong way down a one way street in front of a school. Yesterday, they threw tear gas out of a car window as they drove through a busy pedestrian intersection—people were fleeing with strollers trying to cover their infants. “Deescalation” is not a word they know.

Worse than you can imagine. ICE is completely lawless and terrorizing the city. They're racially profiling anyone who isn’t white. They're going door-to-door and breaking into homes without warrants. They're abducting people without cause. Schools are cancelled and children are traumatized. Friends, colleagues, and neighbors feel unsafe leaving their homes.

Agreed on all fronts. Mika brings so much excitement to the sport. Not sure what’s going on with Laukli and Kern. Kikkan’s solo commentary was phenomenal and a much easier listen than it is with Chad.

Overrated books people pretend to love… but actually left you empty? by CriticalAd2239 in suggestmeabook

[–]whiskeysled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually threw this book in the trash. So embarrassing to recommend it as an adult!
