San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat
Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.
The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

- I can't watch everything, I only have so much time, sorry if I didn't tier your favorite sport
- Solid memes all throughout, even if I wasn't the biggest fan of the sport
5/end
- Steph Curry is a sniper, Janja Garnbret is a beast, and skateboarders are too young to be this good
- It's always worth remembering how much athletic ability is needed to excel at some of these sports (brb appreciating artistic swimming, breaking, and fencing)
4/?
- There were some awesome track & field moments tbh (Julien Alfred winning W 100, Letslie Tebogo winning M 200, Femke Bol mix 4x400 to name a few)
- Also: Kinzang Lhamo may have been last to finish the W marathon, but at least she can say she did better than Eliud Kipchoge
3/?
- Peacock commentary was key to some of these decisions too (see swimming, gymnastics, & skateboarding)
- Peacock can improve their interface and make full replays actually full
2/?
Notes: unordered within
- Tennis would be S if not for the winner on Men's Singles
- To be clear, it was all very fun, and some sports I learned a lot more about and am interested in potentially picking up, such as maybe skateboarding around more and climbing? 1/?
You could say I had a productive weekend:
Saturday:
Woke up at noon
Watched melee till 7
Nap
Hung around my apartment
Applied to 1 job
Went on voice call watching Minecraft til 4am
Sunday:
Woke up at noon
Watched melee till 3:45
And now I nap
What I learned:
Melee is awesome
Minecraft can be dumb
...and then most of them don't. 😭
I wish it was easier to get my non-melee homies into these games, sigh...
I honestly think it's what's preventing me from playing them myself
You really don't have to know the details of fighting games to "get" what is happening. It's honestly what makes them fun to watch for me.
Admittedly I wasn't able to watch much of EVO but when I was watching I was enthralled. Congrats to everyone who worked on it and congrats to the winners
Thank God
Both those other platforms really were not it
