"will you please marry me, Haru."

"We've got Aleksander on our Volkswagen desk! Man, the reunion a week later! Here at the All England Club, that's pretty cool. Why are you here, Aleksander?" "Well, supporting—first of all—my girlfriend. Supporting her, and then, obviously, a lot of other players that I know. Just watching tennis, it's pretty much my favourite sport."

"Marie Bouzková is your girlfriend—still in the doubles, right now. Is it more pressure for you playing or watching her?" "I can actually relax, and watch tennis. We're under so much pressure for the last couple of months, so it's actually relaxing for me just to hear that tennis ball go from side-to-side. I just enjoy watching it." ... "So you watch a lot of tennis...How's your game?" "I actually try to play as much as possible. I think I'm good, but other people can say other stuff. I think I'm good, my brother played almost professional[ly] so I kind-of followed his steps until I decided to go hockey." "So, when you play with Marie...Can you get a game off her? Points?" "Nah. Nah. Maybe, ace, here and there, but not when I return or anything like that. If it gets to a rally, I'm done."

there has to be something funny about finding out that ofc sasha has a girlfriend who plays tennis but more importantly when they do play together the only way he can score points against her is serving the ball really hard like yeah checks out big hockey man hits object very hard like a frying pan yeah 😭😭😭

also bouzková had a doubles match the day before this was recorded! she also played today as well but got eliminated in the second round.

she also participated in womens singles much to the same results 😭😭😭

talkingn about my day in the tags :3

[sirfrogsworth]

How do you take a photo of time?

I've been watching the track events at the Olympics since I was a wee lad. It was a tradition in our family. We'd gather around our ancient low-definition 19 inch CRT television and watch tiny blobs compete against other tiny blobs and root for our country.

It was a bit like watching YouTube on your phone in 144p.

Several heroes emerged.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee was amazing.

You can't forget about Flo-Jo.

And then the Olympics decided NBA players were allowed in the competition.

Which formed... The Dream Team.

Was this fair?

Well... they won each game by an average of 44 points.

So... no. It was not fair.

Though it became more fair as time went on.

But, umm... yeah. The other teams looked like the Washington Generals and the US looked like the Harlem Globetrotters if they stopped screwing around half of the game.

But my absolute favorite Olympian was a runner named Michael Johnson.

He was cool as heck.

For one thing... gold shoes.

But he also had this crazy, upright, Tom Cruise-ish sprinting style that just made him look like a running robot on the track.

And in the 1996 Atlanta games he just trounced EVERYONE. I mean, it wasn't even close.

Yikes. Those losing blobs are probably really embarrassed.

Last night I decided to invigorate my nostalgia and watch the track events again. And I got to see one of the wildest races in history.

It didn't even last 10 seconds but it was one of the most exciting sporting events I've ever witnessed. Almost every runner won the race.

After I saw that initially, I was like... who the heck won???

Even in slow motion I wasn't sure.

This was one of the closest finishes in history. There has never been a race where all 8 runners were within this margin.

The arena was silent as the winner was being confirmed. The runners just kind of paced around waiting for official word. My best guess was the Jamaican runner, Kishane Thompson. But then the loudspeaker announced Noah Lyles.

The last tiny morsel of American pride burst out of me with a big "Wooooo!"

I forgot what it was like to be proud of my country. I wish it happened more often. But this young man, despite being last place in the first 3rd of the race, turned on the afterburners and won in a photo finish.

And that's when my inner nerd took over.

Because when they showed the photo finish image, it looked super weird.

Why is the track white?

Why do all of the runners look all warpy like that QWOP game?

So I went down a research rabbit hole to figure this out.

Photo finishes are actually fascinating. The first photo finish captured the end of a horse race in 1890. But that was mostly luck and timing. The actual photo finish mechanisms weren't used until 1937.

Originally they would film the finish line through a physical slit.

And the first horsie head that appeared in that slit would be the winner. This technology ended a huge aspect of corruption in horse race fixing almost overnight.

But we have come a long way since then. And I'd like to introduce you to the Omega Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate.

This slow motion camera sits fixed on the finish line of every race. The concept of the photo finish has remained remarkably similar to the 1930s approach. The camera sensor is specially designed to only record a vertical slit.

Only the finish line itself is actually captured.

And because it limits what it records to only that slit, it can capture 40,000 frames per second to get amazing temporal resolution.

So why don't the photo finishes just look like, well... this?

That is because the camera takes a picture of time more-so than dimensional space. I guess it would be more accurate to say it *assembles* a picture of time.

As the runners cross the finish line, the camera combines all of the little strips of pictures into a single image.

It's almost like if you tried to reassemble a piece of paper after it had been shredded.

Imagine each strip of paper is a picture of ONLY the finish line, just at a slightly different point in time.

What if someone stopped on the finish line and didn't move... what would that look like?

Once they got there, the same part of their body would just be repeated.

So the right side of the photo finish picture represents earlier in time and it just assembles the image strip by strip as time passes and you literally get a picture of time itself.

NEAT!

Okay, but how do they determine the winner from the photo finish?

I mean, that shoe looks like it is ahead of Noah Lyles!

Clavicles!

The IAFF rules state the foremost part of the torso must cross the finish line first. And the endpoint of the torso is the outer end of the clavicle.

So if you get this bone across the finish line first, you win the race.

Two more fun facts!

The start of the race is actually just as carefully timed as the end of the race. There are sensors in the starting blocks of each runner.

The starting gun also has an electronic sensor.

They have determined the fastest a human can react to the sound of a gun is roughly 100 milliseconds. So if you start running before 100 milliseconds they know you didn't actually hear the gun, you just got antsy and started running too early.

And the final fun fact...

Did you notice the Omega logo at the top of the photo finish?

That isn't superimposed or added after the fact. That is captured by the camera.

But if this image is composed only of tiny little slivers, how did they get the Omega logo to show up?

That is a little display. And it is synchronized with the Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate to show a little sliver of the Omega logo for each frame captured.

So when the final image is stitched together, it looks like a cohesive logo at the top of the photo.

Pretty clever, Omega!

There's lots of things that suck about the modern age, the thing bugging me the most tonight is how no one ever ever updates their talking points ever no matter how reality changes

case in point Ken Klippenstein "joked" that 100 year old and now dead Jimmy Carter was finally qualified for Democratic Congressional leadership ha ha ha how funny and telling!

but.... like.... you got what you said you wanted? nearly 2 years ago? Nancy Pelosi and the rest of her 80-something year old leadership team quit in favor of a 54 year old, a 61 year old and a 45 year old replacing an 84 year old, an 85 year old and an another 84 year old.

expanded past Congress, you guys won! Joe Biden stepped down and was replaced by a much younger candidate, we still lost, so just "be younger" clearly isn't the magical answer, and in any case, Biden will never run again and all the leading candidates are much younger

but why change our talking points! we can keep saying Biden or Pelosi are SO! old years after they've DIED! to attack Democrats in their 40s! wooooo!

Jax and Zooble both crushing on sweet but oblivious!reader

ooooooooough the drama here would go insane... maybe... ponders speed running this because i have to get things to start dinner in a few minutes WOOOOO we are locking in notes: reader is gn, short post, jax and zooble cannot stand each other and its made even more clear here cws: none

oooooooh where to begin... well first of all, jax is going to be making it hell for zooble. the only reason theres a "rivalry" is because hes trying to start shit- trying to flirt with you right in front of him, stealing you away to go spend time with him instead of with zooble

will come to you and whine about how zooble is so mean to him sometimes just to try to get you on his side... is it immature and kind of manipulative? oh yeah definitely, but this is jax were talking about... thats kind of a given

and then theres... zooble... they dont see a point in fighting over you. not that they think youre not worth fighting over- they really do like you

but heres the thing: they have dignity. and so do you. and theyre not going to treat you like some prize to be won like jax is (who admittedly is only doing it out of spite)

zooble is going to let you pick who you want naturally, theyre not going to bend over backwards to try to "outshine" jax, if anything they believe that hes just going to end up sabotaging himself... so really theyve already won

not... that theyre sinking to his level and making it into a rivalry...

when you hang out with zooble its more... calm and chill. you guys actually get to relax and talk

when you hang out with jax its more... chaotic. youre still not exempt from his teasing and his jokes, and theres that to worry about... but youre too much a sweetheart to really hold him accountable. you just... let it roll right off... but its mostly just simple fun, theres no deeper connections and conversations happening- thats something that jax only really starts to have when you guys are close... really close...

but god, they may hate each other but they both agree that your obliviousness is absolutely infuriating- each attempt to try to win your affection is just met with an innocent smile

at least you dont seem to notice the tension brewing around you...

y/ndevils00 WE WON!! WE ACTUALLY WON!!

i mean… yeah, it’s cool, we won.

with the return of my absolute favorite captain (sorry Quinnifer), the devilish whores won 7-2 against the swords!

we kicked off the scoring just a minute and a half into the first with a goal from Holtzy, and almost 10 minutes later, got a goal from uncle Toffee to give us a 2-0 lead!

but that’s not all! just 4 minutes later, captain slut got his first goal back!! GO NICOLAS!!! and in true boyfriends fashion, he acquired his first goal back the same way that Jacky did; on his first game back, in the first period of the game, with a goal that had to be confirmed by officials that it was a good goal! how utterly boyfriends of them! they definitely planned that!

and to end first period, we got yet another EVEN strength goal (no power play goals yet here!) from Pally Pocket!! giving us a FOUR goal lead on those bitches from buffalo!

in second period we got yet another goal from Tyler the creator, just 2 minutes in! bringing the score to 5-1! thank you, queen! and then the rest of that period was boring af

BUT THIRD PERIOD! OH I LOVED THIRD PERIOD! we opened that period and made it our bitch with a goal from MY best friend in the whole big wide world, Dawg-son Mercer!! EVERYBODY CHEER! WOOOOO!!! (with an assist from my lovely pain in the ass, babygirl!)

AND LASTLY, WITH OUR ONE AND ONLY POWER PLAY GOAL, WE HAVE MY (hopefully) FUTURE LITTLE BROTHER, LUKEY ‘SMUSH’ HUGHES!!! LET’S GO, BABY HUGHES!! SHOW ‘EM WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF!!

i’ll see you guys on tuesday after we play the long island iced teas!

Hii! I was wondering if you could maybe explain the bus bros fallout or p2p gate or pretty much all of the McLaughlin-Newgarden lore to me since I'm only getting in to IndyCar now and I want to be caught up before the 500. I understand this is a big ask but I've seen that youve posted about it and I just NEED to know. Any links to other pieces of lore would also be much apreciated. Completely understand if you don't want to write anything though so thank you so much I advance!! <3

YES ABSOLUTELY I WILL EXPLAIN! this is my special interest dw i could write an 18 page essay about their lore.

SO basically scott came into indycar from supercars in 2020-2021 ish and him a josef started getting along like super well, which is honestly a bit odd bc josef is known to not really let people get so close to him, so scotty is a bit of an outlier in that respect.

eventually! they make bus bros!!! wooooo everyone loves it etc etc they have fun making it…. until they don’t! leading up to their breakup there were QUITE a few clues that they knew it was gonna end in flames like scott talked about it on off track (see audio excerpt below) and on hot seats with hinch if i remember correctly?

there’s also a fair share of articles that mention it. they basically knew it was inevitable but i don’t think anyone thought it was gonna happen so quickly??

so then the winter break leading into the 2024 szn happened! this is about when i started getting really into bus bros and was honestly pretty present for some of this shit (i was at the daytona 24 and st pete so i’ve got some first hand evidence but we will get to that later)… anyways so the rumors start going around that bus bros is over around?? st pete time i think??? a little bit earlier. which is odd given that they seemed okay with each other at the daytona 24, even though i thought it was strange that they weren’t both on tower motorsports anymore cause josef switched to penske porsche but GENERALLY it seemed okay (although based on this pic idk their relationship seems a little charged atp but it’s all speculation really)

then after the rumors come out i think it was jenna fryer’s article that did it in? (idk it has a paywall on it for me right now and i don’t care enough to find it here but there’s definitely excerpts floating around) now i do recommend to take anything jenna fryer says with a grain of salt bc she is essentially a gossip columnist for all intents and purposes. but the article basically said that josef and scotty were done and scott wouldn’t answer any questions about it and was only saying that they’re fine or to ask josef about it (tea from todays 100 days to indy episode actually…). they promptly took down the bus bros merch site and have been relatively quiet since then. at st pete they talked on the podium and didn’t seem too bad but i’ve seen other clips where they won’t even sit next to each other or speak to each other so take that as you will. podiums are pretty much just publicity, cameras everywhere, you’d probably want to seem at least cordial with your teammate.

(pic 1 is mine, pic 2 is a pic of my tv from todays episode LMFAO)

so heres where most of the speculative stuff comes in. Josef dissolved his media company, unfollowed everyone, and cancelled bus bros leading into the 2024 season because he wanted to “get rid of distractions”, and really we could leave it at that, but i find it hard to believe that that’s the only thing that happened.

Josef is the dictionary definition of Penske Perfect, you won’t get any closer to it than him. he’s fucking OBSESSED with this idea of being perfect. perfect season, perfect body, perfect car, perfect team. obviously this isn’t feasible, but scotty seemed to have broken through that block in his little Penske Perfect brain and got him to LIGHTEN UP A BIT. and then the 2023 season happened. sure, josef won the indy 500 but it was one of his worst season finishes in a while and, to make matters worse, scott BEAT him. little scotty mac, supercars champion transplant from 2021 beat josef newgarden at his own fucking game after breaking down his walls and making him soft. i can see how that scared josef honestly. so he ended it. Scott doesn’t see things on a plane of winning/losing imo, everything is just experience for him. hell, he didn’t even know if he would end up in indycar and he sure as hell didn’t think he’d win races so soon AND beat his teammate. to josef, it’s JUST winning/losing. if he’s losing, he needs to be better. and he lost sight of that for the 2023 season. that’s why he had to come back and put an end to the shenanigans bc he knows scott makes him soft.

but that’s just my speculation!!!!! literally could just be nothing. maybe it is to josef, but i know for a FACT it isn’t to scott.

OH and with the p2pgate stuff! basically they had a component in their car that. was not supposed to be there! that prevented race control from turning off their push to pass like normal. (marshall pruitt has a rlly good article explaining it all here) and they were caught in long beach when race control forgot to turn on the push to pass during the sunday warm up and HMMMMM why do the penske cars still have it???? when has this happened before??? oh ok st pete! now they’re disqualified. josef used 9 seconds of p2p when it was not enabled and scotty only used 1.9 and will used none. so i’m led to believe that it was a josef-centered choice IF it was intentional to use the p2p when it was supposed to be inactive.

now josef really laid down the water works for that press conference at barber to the point that i was having a VERY hard time watching it. i felt bad for the guy. he seemed really fucking upset and i almost believe that it WASNT on purpose but. it’s just too good to be true right?

honestly i think this all could tie back to the downfall of bus bros in that scott maybe didn’t want to do the p2p thing but josef was willing to? and maybe that caused some sort of divide between them bc then again for josef it’s about Winning No Matter What, and yes scott wants to win but cheating isn’t the way for him. idk.

for more of their lore when they WERE friends, watch bus bros (duh), admit one, 100 days to indy, scott learns america: nashville, hot seats with hinch, and listen to scott’s episode on off track with hinch and rossi! also there are some very brief interactions between them on some older penske games videos before bus bros was even a thing but it’s not much. there are more but i can’t think of them rn…

sorry for rambling, if you have any more qs feel free to ask!!! i’m always available for brain picking :)

The Moon to The Stars

Pairing: Pretimeskip!Franky x Reader 

Summary: Being close ever since they were learning to be shipwrights under Tom's teachings, the reader has always been one with the ocean, happy as can be when they get to have some fun with Franky, who has a great gift for them...

Warnings: Some swearing, the reader is a surfer (But that's about it!)

Word Count: 1.4k 

Life wasn't always the best to me, but one thing that the downsides of life couldn't take away from me?

The ocean.

Just staring at the ocean made me feel as if I were in paradise. Water 7 was close to that since Tom, Iceburg, Cutty, and I made the train.

I missed Tom dearly and missed the bond I had with Iceburg and Cutty before his death, but the ocean always washed away those sad thoughts, paddling out into the ocean on my surfboard.

"Here comes a big one!" I smiled, getting ready to ride the wave down to the shore, cheering and squealing as I got some speed out of this one, drifting back to the shore to do it again.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting. I watched as I sat in the sand, water flowing over me as the last wave I caught knocked me down. But it was fine.

"Surfing again, huh? Is that all you know how to do?"

"Hey Franky," Turning to find him, things may not have been how they used to, but my bond with Franky never changed, teasing him, "Still jealous that I'm a better surfer than you?”

"Sure," He laughed, taking my surfboard out of the sand and offering, "But I know a way to make it even more fun."

"Oh, dear god," I rolled my eyes playfully at him, failing to hide my curiosity. "What crazy contraption did you build this time?"

"I don't have it with me," He wasn't kidding, but still wanted to have some fun with me, tilting down his sunglasses and smiling, "But I have something that'll work in the meantime."

"Alright, you won me over," I smiled, jumping up and running into the water, "C'mon!"

"Right behind ya!" He ran along, joining me on my board, ensuring he stood behind me.

We were out far, a huge wave was forming, and for a change, I was nervous, yelling:

"You better not kill us out here, Franky!"

"Don't be such a drama queen!" He yelled, carefully watching the wave, "Let's go!"

Together, we shifted to catch the wave, picking up speed, my eyes widening at his hand opening. I knew that he was a cyborg now, but I was nervous about what he was planning:

"Franky?!"

"Try not to fall off!" He laughed, shooting a blast from his hand that sent us flying!

I was screaming and barely able to keep on the surfboard. My adrenaline started rushing, and those screams turned into joyful ones, cheering out:

"HOLY SMOKES! THIS MIGHT TAKE US CLEAR INTO THE CITY!"

"WOOOOO! YEAHHH!"

We were having a blast, zooming to the shoreline, a bump in the wave sending us upward.

"AH CRAP!"

"I gotcha, Y/N!"

Franky caught me in midair, his back smacking the sand as I landed on top of him, the water from his blast still following us and drenching us in water.

"That was fun!" I couldn't stop laughing, grabbing his shirt and ready to pick him up, "Let's do that crazy shit again!"

"Told you so!" He laughed with me, our laughs settling as our eyes met, staring at each other as we smiled.

"Hey, Franky," I breathed in, leaning to him; his head started coming up to mine, not needing to say anything, but as our noses touched, his eyes went the other way.

I looked along with him to see Iceburg in the distance, it was closer to where one of the city streets was, but we could see him. Franky stealing the words straight out of my mouth:

"What's he doing here?"

"That's what I was gonna say," Sitting up, I noticed something Franky didn't, my eye twitching, "I have a better question, though."

"What's that?" Looking along with me, I saw it was my surfboard that was broken in half; I yelled out of playful anger:

"ARE YOU GONNA BUY ME A NEW SURFBOARD SINCE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PULLED THAT CRAZY STUNT?!"

"I'M SORRY!" He yelled, running away as I chased him, "I ALREADY BUILT YOU ONE!"

"BUT THAT ONE WAS SPECIAL!" I yelled back, catching up and jumping on his back.

"SERIOUSLY! COOL IT, BABE!"

Freezing, I knew that he talked with some slang, but it made me feel a certain way, looking as he was staring at Iceburg in the distance:

"How about this? You sit tight here. I'll grab the board I built for ya, a snack, and some cola. Sound good to you?"

"Yeah," Hopping off his back, I went to where I placed my towel and bag, sitting and staring at Iceburg as well, "I'll wait here for you."

"I won't be long," He smiled before going off, and when he returned, the sun had set, the sky full of stars.

Lighting the lantern I brought along, my eyes were fixed on the board on his back, holding out my arms and saying quickly:

"Gimmie! Gimmie!"

"Give me a second," He huffed, handing the bag with some sandwiches and cola, placing the board down, and sitting along with me, "You like the design?"

It was almost identical to the very first one Tom gave me, my favorite colors, smooth, and it looked beautiful. I nodded as I admired it, but also cocking my eyebrow as I knew that it was no ordinary surfboard:

"I love it, but what can it do?"

Eating our sandwiches, Franky explained that he added a propeller and that it could transform into a small craft in case I hit any bad waves and got stuck in the ocean. There was no denying that I was ready to take it out to the waves.

There was something a bit more critical on my mind, though, cracking open my cola and whispering as I took a sip:

"So, you talked to Iceburg when you left?"

"Yeah," He sighed, his tone showing that they still haven't made up, wondering:

"What did he say?"

"Guess he wanted to see you," He groaned, frustrated at the thought.

"Me?" I laughed softly, showing Franky that I hadn't made up with Iceburg, whispering, "He wouldn't like what I have to say. I'm still upset about the things he said to you."

"Don't worry about me," Drinking his cola, too, I wanted to return to having fun. Talking about Iceburg was like rain on a parade; I took one more sip before jumping up with my new board:

"Alright! Let's see what this bad boy can do!"

"Be careful till you get a hang of it!" He warned as he watched, making me laugh as I ran into the ocean:

"You forget who I am, Franky?!"

There was something about this board that I could feel just from standing on it. It was easy to tell it was made carefully with tons of thought put into it. This board felt like my soulmate.

It didn't take long for a nice, big wave to come through, doing as Franky instructed before to get the propeller going, zooming through the water, laughing and smiling at the moonlight illuminating it.

Each time I made it to the shore, I went right back out to catch more waves. I could do it all night long, running over to Franky with it as he called out:

"I'm guessing that you like it?!"

"Love it!" I yelled back, placing it in the sand and hitting his signature pose, "I love it, Franky! It's SUPER! WOOO!"

I was so excited that I jumped on him, smiling more:

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, babe," He winked, hugging me, and like before, we were stuck in a beautiful silence of solid emotions, gravitating to each other, no one here to interrupt our lips meeting this time.

For some reason, when our lips met, tears started running down my cheeks. All I could think about was how Franky was always the bright star in my world. How I almost lost him, and despite our fallout with Iceburg, our bond didn't break.

I was so happy.

Gently pushing him back to the sand, I pressed my lips hard, his massive hand rubbing my back as he felt the tears on my cheek, pulling back to look:

"Why are you crying?"

"I haven't been this happy since-" In my head, Tom, Iceburg, and Franky flashed in my mind. All of us working on the train.

He knew what I was thinking, laying me next to him, still holding me as we both looked up at the stars, "I haven't been this happy in a long time, too."

"I'm sorry for being such a crybaby," I breathed in deeply, sitting up and smiling with my happy tears, "Just know, you're my shining star, Franky."

"C'm here, babe," Pulling me back to him, he hugged me nice and snug, kissing my forehead, "If I'm the star, then you're the moon."
