GOP voter attitude towards DEI:
"If it weren't for DEI my beautiful daughter with her perfect somersault could beat that Simone Biles girl." #DEI #Olympics

Did you know that an #ancient #Olympics athlete was chosen by the #gods?

Eubotas knew he would win the #running #race at the 93rd Games in 408 BC. The #oracle of Cyrene had told him!

He commissioned his own statue before the games - & of course he DID #win!

44 years later, Eubotas won the chariot race in the 104th Games (as an owner, to whom the prize went).

He possibly also won six other races.

The prettiest courtesan of the age was madly in love with him, too.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan wants the city to become the first four-time host of the Olympics and is backing a bid for the 2040 Games. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2025/04/29/london-olympics-sadiq-khan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #olympics #london #olympics #sadiqkhan #worldathleticschampionships

You know what, in my opinion, is one of the best songs I ever played as a trumpet player?
The Olympic Theme by John Williams. That plays and you know you're part of something important.

All of it is brilliant, but my absolute favorite part starts at 3 min and 10 seconds in.

To make the #Olympics worth watching there should be #juggling versions of all the sports.

100m race ... with juggling!

#HorseDancing ... with juggling!

At the winter games, #Biathlon with juggling!

The #Paralympic version could be adapted so that competitors with no arms put on an artistic drone show using a joystick pinned to their tongue.

I've been here in #Vancouver for almost 15 years, it still surprises me how the #BCPlace, the main #stadium is not surrounded by parking lots, how it's in the middle of the city centre.. how it works forcing visitors to don't take their car, and could even host the #olympics in #Vancouver2010

15 years ago, a gang of anarchists, Indigenous land defenders, and assorted shit-disturbers took on the 2010 #Vancouver #Olympics and said: Fuck your colonial circus.

From chucking pies at politicians to wrecking corporate crap and smashing colonial symbols, we weren’t there to politely protest—we were there to disrupt.

I break down how we built an anti-capitalist, anti-colonial resistance that didn’t ask for permission and sure as hell didn’t apologize. This is a firsthand look at how it all went down—and why that fight still matters.

Watch it. Share it. Remember it.
