constantly wondering about the people who believe the olympic beds are cardboard because they don't want the athletes having sex
like....are you ok?
genuinely, i mean it's clear you've never read a romance novel in your life, but are you ok? how's your sex life? because let me tell you, there's more to life than missionary on a mattress, you poor misguided soul
the positions these incredibly fit people could do it in, like??? wow, i'm talking biceps flexing, your entire weight held against the wall, i'm talking in the shower, i'm talking there's a site called archive of our—

“OCEANIUMS” by Vincent Callebaut Architectures,
Rather than perpetually building new stadiums for each new World Cup and Olympic Games, Vincent Callebaut Architectures propose to build cultural and sports hubs intended for nomadism at sea.
Half boat, half stadium, these low-carbon community hubs would navigate thanks to renewable energies by using solar radiation and the strength of the prevailing winds, as well as the cold ocean currents of Labrador and the warm Gulf Stream. I
n this nomadic vision of new sporting and cultural practices, it is no longer the supporters who go to obsolete stadiums but sustainable and ecological stadiums that go to the supporters.
These Oceaniums, true stadiums of the oceans, would be built using only biosourced and recycled materials such as solid wood, recycled aluminum, green algae and plastic waste from the 7th continent concentrated in the five oceanic gyres. This plastic waste would become new construction materials feeding 3D printers connected to human-orchestrated artificial intelligence processors.
The development of a multitude of algorithms and especially the predictive learning offered by AI and 3D printing make it an essential tool for limiting human risks on these future augmented construction sites.
A Biomimetic Generation of Floating and Sustainable Stadiums,

Nazis and Holocaust Exceptionalism
Re: this very good post but I didn’t want to derail it so I made my own post instead.
I’m trying to find a way to articulate this more fluently but at its bare bones I guess what I’m thinking is that, especially in USAmerican culture, the Holocaust and Nazis are exceptional examples of genocide. As in, they’re uniquely horrible* and the most horrible. And that makes comparisons to the Holocaust and Nazis an exercise in dehumanization instead of an exercise of political and social analysis.
(*per the original post ALL genocides are uniquely horrible and tragic)
That exceptionalism - that the Nazis were THE worst people in history, the genocide of the Jewish people was THE worst genocide to ever occur - dehumanizes both the Nazis and the Jews. And that’s a dangerous precedent to set.
For one, treating Nazis (and by extension Neo-Nazis today) as these inhuman, incomprehensible monsters distances them from the human reality that made them. It erases the centuries of antisemitism and xenophobia in Europe, the economic factors leveraged to enhance and inflame those deep rooted biases. It hides how white nationalists today take advantage of socially isolated and inherently biased young men. Which makes it easy to think you could never do something so horrible, so monstrous - you’re not a monster like them, after all. When in reality you too are a person with biases and social frustrations that can be leveraged by others for personal gain.
Additionally, this exceptionalism dehumanizes the Jewish people, in a very different but still awful way. They’re given this air of mysticism, rarity and supernatural strength. How amazing that they survived at all - how high the pedestal for a people who were nearly destroyed but endured in spite of it all. I recognize a similar pattern in the treatment of indigenous peoples in the US - their morality is inherently superior because of the horrors they survived, their religion is ‘more pure’ for having survived, but they’re also held to a much higher standard than others because of this. They’re both inhumanly perfect and destined to be torn down from that pedestal at the first sign of humanity.
I’m sure there’s better articulated essays on the above phenomenon but for the sake of this argument I think the above is sufficient. Because in USAmerican culture the Holocaust and Nazis are exceptional - not just unique. Which makes comparisons between genocides reduce the humanity of all parties involved by drawing a line from Nazis to modern actors, from the Jewish people of the Holocaust to modern victims.
It’s not that comparison should be discouraged - there are facets of similarity worth exploring in disenfranchisement, dehumanization, and how social and political anxieties are warped to indefensible atrocities in the name of those fears. And it’s only natural for USAmericans to first think of the Holocaust given the strong association between genocide as a concept and the Holocaust in the public mind - but the space the Holocaust occupies in the public consciousness is so deeply dehumanized and mysticized that those comparisons are used as shortcuts to ‘x is a monster acting in its evil nature and y is an innocent lamb incapable of acting for itself’ instead of as constructive analysis of how historic biases and modern fears are used by political forces to achieve economic and social goals, however heinous those may be.
*I’m not a historian or philosopher, nor do I profess any professional study of the topics here. I study trees and bugs for a living. I’m happy to engage in productive conversation regarding these topics. I will block you if you’re an asshole though.
#ra speaks#personal#genocide#holocaust#nazis#current events#‘you’re not using x word right’ thank you for telling me!#‘so you’re saying we should kill all [x] people???’ completely unrelated to the post so you’re just being an asshole and I’ll block you#this is about how comparing tragedies and oppression Olympics is not a sustainable or productive use of time and energy#all tragedies are unique. the urge to label one as The Worst is natural but pointless and doing so#only clouds your ability to accurately identify patterns and differences between tragedies.#there is no ‘better’ form of slavery or genocide. you can acknowledge differences without ranking (explicitly or not)#the lived trauma pain and horror of others.

Guys, stop spreading this bullshit. The beds aren't anti-sex. They're just eco-friendly. They are providing free condoms and facial shields. What IS pure evil is the lack of AC.
i think the olympics trying to stop athletes from having sex with each other is just purely evil. imagine you've honed your body through devotion to a physical craft for most of your life, and then you get to go and compete with rivals from all around the world who have done the same thing. and you're gonna stop them from fucking?

Calacus Monthly Hit & Miss – Imogen Grant
Every month we look at the best and worst communicators in the sports world from the last few weeks.
IMOGEN GRANT
At Calacus, we have long celebrated and underlined the importance of sport to be a force for good in society.
It’s not always easy for current athletes to use their profile to communicate about good causes as much as perhaps they should – and when they put words into action, it can lead to criticism if their form has a dip, as we have seen with Marcus Rashford, whose initiatives and promotion of support for under-privileged children has resulted in as much criticism as praise.
We know that sports people lend their names to charities and some teams make visits and appearances to hospitals and other worthwhile causes.
But it’s still the case that far too few are making the time while competing to speak out and support good causes that their profiles can promote.
This summer, Imogen Grant became an Olympic champion at Paris 2024 when she won the women’s lightweight double sculls with team mate Emily Craig.
She became a doctor this summer as well, starting her first foundation year as a doctor at Wexham Park Hospital just three days after the Closing Ceremony, with hospital staff giving her a guard of honour when she started work.
But it’s her passion for the nation’s health and the environment that sets Grant apart.
“I am a normal person who can do extraordinary things,” Grant, said in a newspaper interview recently.
“I follow what I love and try to speak up about things I am passionate about – whether it is getting people up doing sports or campaigning for our river and water quality in the UK.”
Speaking to Calacus, she added: “More athletes should feel empowered to share their voice on issues they are passionate about. Ultimately, elite sport can be very selfish and cut-throat – it takes a lot of time and money to achieve what we do, and I believe we have a responsibility to give back to society in return.
“For me personally, it's also very fulfilling. I am a whole person, being an athlete is just part of my identity, and having balance by working on other projects I care a lot about helps when training is hard and I am tired.
“Elite athletes, especially in popular sports like football, cricket, F1, rugby, have some of the largest public followings on the planet. The impact of any of those athletes asking for something to change is huge, and it bypasses a lot of politicking to achieve so much.”
Grant started rowing when she was studying at Trinity College, Cambridge, where she became a triple Blue, winning three Boat Races including two in record time but has seen the water quality in rivers deteriorate in the last decade.
She was awarded the BBC Green Sport Awards Athlete of the Year accolade and explained the impact that she has seen first-hand to changes to our environment.
"Physically experiencing so many of the changes we have seen during the climate crisis - flooding, inclement weather, hot weather, really freezing weather, unbelievable rains and storms - as I am trying to train has really opened my eyes to the impact the climate crisis is having, on me directly and the entire world," she told BBC Sport.
“I've been rowing for 10 years. I have seen the changes in the water. I have ridden past floating nappies, seen used tampons floating and hanging in the trees on the sides of the bank, and I've seen dead fish. Seeing the degradation of our waterways has been really difficult."
Grant was instrumental in the launch of the Clean Water Sport Alliance earlier this year and added: “Rivers feed so much of the rest of the landscape, and the rest of the wildlife. If you can get the rivers right, you can get the fields and the parks right and make towns and villages healthier and happier.
"As an athlete, I know that I have a platform and I have a passion, but I haven't always had the knowledge and the nuts and bolts," she said.
"Working with the Rivers Trust, I feel like I have learned so much and I am so much better equipped to talk about the things I am passionate about.
"I know enough to know what I am talking about and make a real difference. Knowledge is absolutely power."
In September, she was one of just two athletes - along with beach volleyball player Lina Taylor - to win an International Olympic Committee (IOC) Climate Action Award for 2024.
She now wants to encourage more people to get involved with tackling climate change.
"It is important to remember that a little bit is better than not at all," Grant said. "The climate crisis is here and it can feel really doom and gloom because it is really urgent. But we are sportspeople, we love an underdog and I just think sport is the right place to try and champion this. I don't think we are out of hope yet, we have still got time to make a difference."
She added: “So far, a lot of the change I have instigated has been a the personal or small group level, which builds momentum. I think that small changes are just as important as the larger changes, as it can prove that something is achievable.
“However, my next goal is to instigate wider, legislative, change. Solving the climate crisis requires laws to be passed, and penalties to be handed out to those doing the wrong thing. My long term focus is to help push for these sort of initiatives.”
Global recognition has come for Grant, who was also named among the winners of the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) Climate Action Awards 2024.
Winning the Award alongside Bulgarian beach volleyball player Lina Taylor – Grant was honoured for her role in the launch of the Clean Water Sport Alliance to improve river health and water quality.
She played a key role in implementing new initiatives to enhance the sustainability of British Rowing’s National Training Centre in Caversham, such as composting food waste, recycling plastic, and conducting regular water quality tests, as well as inspiring people to participate in water-testing campaigns and initiatives.
She explained: “Sport is such a team effort, and so is sustainability. I am so grateful to the amazing people and organisations who have helped me speak up and use my athlete's voice for more than just sport. I hope to continue inspiring others to take action, both on and off the field of play.”
IOC President Thomas Bach added: “This year’s winners of the IOC Climate Action Awards show that the Olympic Movement is taking its responsibilities seriously: reducing our impact, while inspiring others to take action.
“We hope these efforts inspire others – in sport and beyond – to join the collective effort to address one of the toughest challenges our world is facing today.”
Addressing those issues requires a blend of coverage in traditional and social media and Grant told Calacus: “Media is more fragmented than before, and it is not just traditional media that holds sway any more. I think that sometimes the media prefers to focus on the shock stories, the negatives, and it can be frustrating to try to bring attention to issues that are actually improving because of the dedication of many. I would love to see more reporting of athletes doing the right thing, not just when they win or lose big.
“My social media was the main way I started testing the waters (excuse the pun) to see how my opinions and actions would land. It built my confidence up to a level where I now feel like I rely on it less to try and make change because I now have the connections that I formed taken into conferences, meetings, marches and more.”
One of those opportunities came at the Labour Party Conference earlier this autumn, where Grant told delegates how important exercise can be for the health of the nation.
She said: “Too many people are like me. They think sport isn’t for them for one reason or another.
“Maybe they try the sports that are available in their schools or their local clubs and it just doesn’t quite light that spark. For some it’s the cost, the petrol to drive to practice. Maybe their nearest facilities are too far away. Maybe the facilities have been run down and there aren’t enough volunteers to coach.
“And for some of them, there isn’t the pathway either. They can’t see what they want to achieve, even if they’re dreaming of it. We need to make sure that that miracle cure is available to as many people, adults and children across the nation.
“Almost 40% of adults in this country don’t meet the bare minimum standards for physical activity. Just 30 minutes of walking or equivalent, five times a week – almost 40%.
“If physical activity were a drug, it would be called a miracle cure for how effective it is and we need to make sure that that miracle cure is available to as many people, adults and children across the nation.
“So that’s why sport transforms. It’s good for our physical health, it’s good for our mental health, and it’s good for our communities as well. It’s why grassroots facilities are so vital to be a place where children and adults can go to do something other than stress or study or work.”
