Today was Menning: WTF Wildcard Edition

#MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

If “menning” doesn’t enter the mainstream vocabulary after this cursed Friday the 13th men’s free Olympic shitshow, it never will #MilanoCortina2026

Comic. My experience seeing the Northern Lights: [Graph: x axis is increasing time, y axis is increasing aurora coolness, going from visible glow on the horizon, color only visible in photos -> sheets and pillars of light, colors faintly visible -> “oh wow, it’s getting really bright now.” -> spectacular ribbons of color spanning the sky and illuminating the landscape. Graph shows dips and peaks over many hours with the topmost peeks for only around 5 or 10 minutes.] [caption] Aurora tip: If you get good views of the aurora, keep watching the sky; you might suddenly get great ones.

is it a good sign that 2 people you've invited to be on your "Board of Peace" can't join you in Switzerland because they would be arrested for war crimes?

Meanwhile, half the Trump admin and 90% of the Mar-a-Lago membership is on Ozempic.

After viewing the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota- he then proceeds to lie about EVERYTHING in it, aside from the fact that it is, indeed, "a horrible thing to watch."

NEW: Iran’s capital, Tehran, is now BURNING

110 cities across Iran have seen unrest and protests against the ruling regime in the last 12 days

The only thing more remarkable than the scale of this revolution is the negligence of mainstream media in covering it.

Scenes below in Tehran tonight.

NASA Will Bring I.S.S. Astronauts Home Early After Medical Issue After canceling a spacewalk planned for Thursday, the space agency’s administrator said it was erring on the side of caution and bringing a crew of four home in the coming days.

NASA said it would bring four astronauts home early from the International Space Station because of a medical issue.

Maduro being terrible does not magically make Trump’s actions legal. International law still exists. US law still exists. Trump said it was about oil. Facts don’t cancel each other out.

No, no va a seguir siendo lo mismo

Moment of silence for no new #HeatedRivalry tonight or any other night in 2026 😭

If the dictionaries had been patient until December 31st, they would know the true word of the year is "Cottage"

#HeatedRivalry

I just realized that in season 2 we’re probably going to get “gladiator Ilya”…

I am enjoying the hockey bros who are watching #HeatedRivalry get all in their feels and cry watching the show. It is kind of sweet. Release that toxic masculinity and embrace joy, my guys!

Great thread!

my new otp is ilya rozanov/spaghetti. rarely (never?) have I seen a joy so pure in this cruel world. 🍝

2025 going out with a bang! I’m not a boxing fan but very much enjoyed watching two assholes getting punched in the face - more please. And then watching all 6 episodes of #HeatedRivalry omfg this has altered my brain chemistry and I am OBSESSED!! Fuck yessss!!!

AI bros: you must use AI to write!

Actual writers: ooohhhh fountain pens and journals and typewriters oh my!

Andrew Tate and Jake Paul losing the same weekend. Sad.

One major problem, bluntly, is that lots of folks can't distinguish between good writing and poor writing. This is about education, not intelligence: they could learn the difference, but it's frequently not taught, even in "good" schools. This is ultimately a competitive disadvantage for them.

Conferme.

Prima conferma:
la lunga fase mite che ha contraddistinto gran parte del mese di dicembre terminerà come era iniziata, con l’ennesimo travaso di vorticità positiva in Atlantico (vedi immagine).

Come già spiegato in un precedente post, questi pattern comportano…1/5

Episode five of Heated Rivalry will win an Emmy.

A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Anticiclone in rinforzo.

In toni verdastri verso la parte occidentale del continente indicano la presenza di masse d’aria di origine subtropicale. Le stesse che troviamo all’interno del promontorio anticiclonico i cui massimi insistono, oggi, sulla Spagna. 1/5
