even Tokyo's poor-ass substitution for what they wanted to do but covid was better than this

I left at Angola and came back an hour+ later and they're only at Ghana

what the actual fuck is this shit-ass Assassin's Creed ripoff stupidity

I feel dumber for having the tv on right

now

you can't even watch anything on youtube!!! it was 8 hours ago and all they have is 30 second clips of Lady fucking Gaga!

way to suck ass Paris

so far the only interesting bit was 3 minutes of drag queens doing "fashion" in the pouring rain, and even then fucking nbc with dipshit white people who have never fashioned in their lives commenting on it

if I had a twit I would twit at nbc for being so fucking clueless but I don't and idgaf because they won't go "oh no we'll fix that next time" based on a twit

man it is such a struggle though, I find NBC coverage basically unwatchable most of the time

but it's so hard to find any other source for watching the olympics

right??????

"download a vpn and watch from canada" ugh

why is that the only option

even France24 didn't have shit

we tried

I'm so tired of NBC's fake soap opera dramas just let me watch the cool events

I'm fucking tired of two white people who do not understand a thing with some poor third-stringer commenting on things they literally cannot fathom

Peytom Fucking Manning does not know why the drag queens are doing fashion

yeah the commentators are bad and out of touch, everything is full of ads all the time,

excuse me why is this the first I'm hearing that Russia is actually banned this year??

you get 2 minutes of an event and 20 minutes of "here's this person's tragic backstory" and this isn't one piece goddamnit!!!

I hoped they would be but also I literally did not hear that anywhere else until Single Black Guy said it "live"

oh yeah I feel like I did hear russia is banned... also last week saw that for the first time they won't even televise it

omg "this isn't One Piece" is so true thanks Lauren

hahaha

you're welcome

at least in one piece I'm here for the tragic backstories

I like being not the first person to think that

Lauren plz when can we hang out we have the same brain

I just saw on Tumblr that they called South Korea by North Korea's full name

how do you do that

lmfao I'm still so bummed that covid killed the bird banding class I was going to teach in wisconsin

W H A T omg

Tumblr they have a video linked here

booo it wants a login

oh

"live" tv is on the S's so I think we missed it

I still believe you matsu

haha, I was like NO FUCKING WAY but then I watched the video and ... yeah.

how do you make that mistake

being ass at your job I guess

I just saw on tumblr that belarus is also banned this year

which makes sense, they're a puppet state

yep but also "things not mentioned anywhere by anyone" UH

yeah I just heard about it from Philip DeFranco a couple of days ago. Though there are some loopholes in that people who are from Russian/Belarus (with their passports) can participate if they're technically representing another country

yeah, one of them already got in trouble since they're supposed to be "neutral" and one was saying shit about ukraine in a very non-neutral way

there's also

"Palestine will only be represented by 8 athletes at the 2024 Paris Olympics as a result of the restrictions placed by the Israeli government denying Palestinian athletes freedom of movement"

oh god

like did you think it wouldn't get back to you?

ugh

time travel me to 2012 I'll fix it

awesome, let's go

fires up the delorian

/relates vaguely to other plurk about dragoncon and fandom vehicles

W H Y M I N I O N S fuck minions 24

wait like.... the yellow guys that only exist to make merch sales off those shitty movies?

W H Y is Beyonce white

yes those

none of this

UGH WHY MINIONS IS RIGHT why did that fad not die out after like the first year they existed

I'm grossed out on like 5 levels

sounds awful

I'm glad I'm playing zelda and tagging instead

I literally did not know that this "intro" was Beyonce

I was led to belive this is a white blond woman talking about USA

this is a black woman yall

what the actual goddamn fuck

someoe please kill me so I wake up non-white

WAIT WHAT

WHY

WHY IS TAHITI FRANCWE

NO

GET OUT

FUCK RACIST BULLSHIT

what

"someoe please kill me so I wake up non-white" incredible quotation

France is promoting holding events in Tahiti as "France"

WHAT IS THIS SHIT

plz quote me I hate myself right now

god I knew Tahiti had been a French colony, somehow it passed by my entire brain that it is still currently a French colony, that French is the only official language, that France considers it to be France and not its own nation

fucking France

I guess it's like how we consider Guam/CNMI/Amerian Samoa/many other places as "the US"

which also feels real wrong

right????? fucking colonialism in this day and age

liberate Guam and Samoa plz

omggggggg it's so bad I'm dying of laugter. IT IS SO BAD DO NOT

FUCKER JUST SAID THE POWER OF SPORTS uniroicallyh omg

this is SO BAD

SO SHITTY THIS SUCKS
