This Jordan chiles situation is so frustrating, especially knowing that the olympics have handled situations like this so much better before.
In the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympics doubles figure skating, one of the judges was found to have been bribed to place the Russian skaters; Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze, higher. They ended up winning gold unaware their results were fixed. After it was revealed, they shared their gold with the original silver medalists from Canada; Jamie Salé and David Pelletier, and had another medal ceremony so they each got to receive their own gold medal and stand on the podium. This makes sense since none of the skaters were at fault, it was the judge, they all skated at their best, they didn't deserve punishment.
I know these sports aren't the same and I'm not an expert on either but in both situations you have athletes scores being messed up by incompetent judging, the athletes shouldn't be the ones being punished here! IOC doesn't normally take medals away unless the athlete is guilty of cheating in some way which no athlete did here.
What happened in 2002 wasn't perfect (the bronze medalist refused to participate in the 2nd medal ceremony, pretty understandable tbf) but it was much better than what happened here, it should've set a standard because none of the gymnasts deserve this.

I don't see how he was being childish and disrespectful as some comments suggest. Do you think any other competing country would be given a chance to opt out of answering a controversial question?
#eurovision#joost#it wasn't even controversial honestly#i wouldn't boo her if she had condemned the actions of her country's government#the bar is touching the floor here#if she didn't compete someone else would have let's be real#but saying yeah i don't agree with these actions takes no effort#i don't support what either side is doing but palestine isn't competing#it's gonna be awesome if they actually win and no one shows up next year#not only did israel rob sergey lazarev of his win because he was so much better#but they robbed belgium of qualifying for the finals when their song was so good

i don't get the small folk viewing the death of the dragon that killed so many of them for no reason as "an ill omen"
because it’s a dragon. it’s a god! it’s a living walking breathing god to a bunch of people whose gods are incredibly silent!! maegor didn’t parade quicksilver’s body around did he!!!! a dragon was killed in combat for the first time since MAEGOR’S RULE and then they chopped its head off and paraded it through town!!!! there’s a level of decorum i think everyone expects high born people to be treated with - for example criston specirically taking lord darklyn’s head off - and they didn’t even show that to a living god!! of course they think it’s an ill omen!! it also like, isn’t meleys’ fault that they came up through the floor, that was rhaenys’ decision, and you don’t blame the horse for what the soldier does do you? vhagar went from being laena’s to being aemond’s, these dragons don’t have allegiances, they have riders. and criston & aemond throw all that propoganda about them being gods OUT THE WINDOW in an instant!! and the smallfolk immediately pick up on that vibe - this war is spiraling to a point where people are willing to throw away whatever decorum, whatever Super Special Valyrian Godliness they have to brag about a fight that barely counts as a win and go “oh if they’re gonna treat EACH OTHER like that what the fuck are they gonna do to ME?” and try to make a run for it but the gates are already barred, they are already being locked in like cattle to a slaughter. and that realization starts with seeing meleys’ rotting head and realizing they are treating dragons the same way they treat the smallfolk, which means the way they treat the smallfolk is about to get MUCH WORSE.
#why is this controversial of me to say this is like the third stupidest move in the war.#asks#anons#meleys the red queen#hotd spoilers#also. listen i don’t like that scene but a) she was a captive i doubt she had many other options and b) this is a world that respects#extreme violence and i do imagine more than a few smallfolk thought it was a gutsy move.#do u remember how many people in the main series are pro baby killing? it’s a high number!!!!!#like the entire coronation scene is badly thought out from the moment she comes up out of the floor#but it’s not ABOUT that it’s about meleys being left in the sun to rot the way the ratcatchers are!!

Instead of returning her medal, Jordan Chiles should tell the Olympics that she gave it to Elmo and have them fight muppets for the medal back. Also people on social media should say who has it and make whoever is asking for the medal to be returned look bad for fighting puppets and Jordan. Just my thoughts.

Genevieve and I are planning something so silly… so revolutionary… so important… so… dare I say… investigative 🧐🕵️
#don’t worry it probably won’t make anyone mad#but i can’t be certain cuz we’re not even allowed to ask whether blaine eats food off the floor without controversy#i’ll never be over that#that moment will always be famous to me

Sorry, no context for this one, I gotta be a hater for a sec
If I see ONE more person being mean to Modern or Contemporary Art, I'm going to fucking lose it!
#“If I threw my glasses on the floor and called it art would you-” YES next question#I'm not saying they gotta *like* it but the complete ignorance and contempt they seem to have for any art that's not just 'pretty picture'#I'm sorry that the artist chose to show their message in an unconventional way. Must have been very hard for you to think for a second /s#I will never forgive what they did to “Can't Help Myself”!#If Modern/Contemporary Arts have a hundred defenders I'm one of them. If they have one that's me. If they have none I am no longer alive#On that note don't go into YT-Shorts comment sections. Especially on 'controversial' topics you like#I feel better now tbh#swearing#Just Talking

so, from what i gather, there are now three possible different answers for who won bronze in this fucking final: if you go by the results as they were for the medal ceremony, jordan won. if you go by the scores originally given and the rules as they should have been followed, ana won. but if you go by what actually happened (ie, sabrina did not actually go out of bounds), sabrina won. MESS

[LONG POST AHEAD!!]
ough please let me explain the concept of a zeroes au !!!
alright so zeroes is a book series (by scott westerfeld) that changed my life but i would never recommend to anyone ever. long story short it's about a bunch of 17yo's with the world's shittiest superpowers and they get into a bunch of hijinks like going to jail, running from (superpowered) serial killers, and the crashing weddings. the usual.
that's irrelevant rn though! the way that zeroes works is that there's i think like seven? different powers that someone can have, each with an opposite or an "inside out" version. some of the powers are also. really hard to explain. but i'll try my best. some powers don't have official names, so i put the characters' code-names instead.
POWERS:
-> Bellwether/Anonymous - BELLWETHER is if "leader" was a superpower. BELLWETHER is basically the power to kind of charm-speak people into trusting you. this power relies on The Curve (AKA 6+ people) to work, and makes surrounding people listen to them and pay attention, as well as swaying them to agree with them. ANONYMOUS is the near opposite of that, and instead of making them the most important person in the room, it renders them near invisible. except worse than that. no one can remember them ever and it's as if there's no object permanence when it comes to them.
-> Maker/Crash - a MAKER is a technopath! only instead of it being vaguely "tech stuff" i think it's electrical pulses. which also includes biological electrical pulses. it's like if technopathy and bloodbending combined. a CRASH does exactly what the name implies--crashes things! much much more destructive than a MAKER, a CRASH can take down entire networks and are incentivized to do so because tech feels like the worst headache known to man to them.
-> Beau/Sight-Caster - BEAU is like if "attention whore" was an ability. everyone's eyes are drawn to them and it becomes very very hard to look away. they're just. so beautiful? so gorgeous? whatever it is, you can't seem to look away. a SIGHT-CASTER is most definitely an invasion of privacy. they can see through everyone's eyes--the only exception being ANONYMOUS.
-> Mob/Swarm - a MOB is a crowd power relying on The Curve and works through an emotional connection to crowds. parties are great, but tests not so much. a SWARM is every negative side-effect to that. they take crowds and turn them into murderous stampedes, often losing themselves in bloodlust.
-> Clarity/Glitch - CLARITY makes you see and understand everything you've ever done in your life. kind of like if you peeled back the layers of yourself to see everything ever. kind of overwhelming imo. GLITCH is the opposite, twisting and warping your perception of everything to give you the worst trip of your life. like if your brain was a funhouse mirror.
-> Scam/Verity - a SCAM is a Voice inside someone that speaks through their mouth to say whatever you want to hear. the super-person has no power over what the Voice says and it usually lies. if the super-person needs to get out of a situation, the Voice has got their back! it will probably get them into an even worse situation but that how the power works. VERITY works the opposite, compelling someone to tell the truth and only the truth; basically if "lie-detector" was a superpower.
-> Coin - COIN tricks your brain into thinking things are what they are not. typically usedto make fake money, but theoretically works for anything.
.
#candyland au poster#another tag for you as well? ->#zeroes au post#okay. wow. that's a lot#i do like the whole opposite vibe that's going on though!#i'm gonna throw “sight-caster” out there for grian beacuse of the whole watcher thing but if you're not into that than maybe “mob”?#i'm thinking “scam” for scar because lord knows he's a smooth-talker. also it seems in character for him to be getting into worse situation#controversial but maybe “clarity/glitch” for xisuma? idk i'm getting those vibes from him.#maybe also “bellwether” for scar though...#so tempted to say “maker” for all the redstoners but idk if that's putting them all in a box#i'm going to open the floor here for other people to join in!#this seems like such a cool au and i'd love to read what you write for it :)

#since the site is going through chaos i'm gonna take the chance to be controversial one last time before the twitter girlies cancel me#i honestly don't think it's artists responsibility to keep concert prices cheap 🤷🤷#i mean sure they should price it fairly enough to have people actually buy the tickets but if bad bunny wants to charge $200 for nosebleeds#or taylor wants to charge $700 for floor tickets then they have the right to do it#it sucks for the fans but like at the end of the day touring is a business and if they want to make as much profit as possible from it then#idk what any of us is supposed to do other than recognise our budget and accept when we can afford something#i'm going to delete this in like five seconds but i had to say it

I forgot to tell this before but what if Bruce has redecorated many of the countless rooms in the manor to adjust to whatever thing his kids like
Dick got a training room for gyminastics, there are bars hanging from the roof, equipment Bruce doesn't even know what's for but that it surely entretains his son and the floor was totally replaced by mats
Jason? "Casually" his room has a secret room attached to it that you can only enter trhu a secret door behind a bookshelf in his bedroom, and "just by chance" it's also another library, that has "secret and censored" books for being controversial in their time, it also just happens to have a skylight and one of those one-way windows
Tim? Bruce made him a dark room, of course he did, that's attached to another room, the light is bare there, and it has two boards, one where you can use magnets and a marker and one for the old red string and tack's
Cass? A whole dance studio that she didn't ask for (none of them did, really) but she appreciates it, mostly because she can use it whenever she feels like it, even the middle of the night because its sound proof
Steph? Unnecesary, she appropiated one herself, later Bruce gave her money to do it whatever she felt like
Damian? One for him to paint, and it's clear he likes it because it's messy, Damian's own room isn't, but his one? Even the big window that lights the room is covered in paint and chalk here and there, the supplies might be ordered by color and size, but not a single one is ever totally cleaned
Duke was told he could choose but if it takes too long Bruce is choosing for him
#batfamily#batman#good dad bruce wayne#bruce wayne#batfam#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#cassandra cain#stephanie brown#duke thomas#dont think i showed as much of the last ones as i wanted#my mind feels weird rn
