I unapologetically love this performance, even though I’ve only seen a couple brief clips.
It took an Olympics that was already teetering on unwatchable lunacy, lined it up against a wall, and delivered the coup de grâce.
To the extent that anyone remembers the 2024 Olympics in years to come, it will always be, “wasn’t that the year when the Algerian dude beat up all the women and the Aussie gender-studies prof flopped around on the floor for 5 minutes?”
In sum, the Aussie dancer ensures that Paris 2024 will be remembered as the freak show that it was. For that I am grateful.
Onda de calor recorde na China provoca fenómeno de carros “grávidos”, devido a temperaturas extremas. A atual vaga de calor na China não afetou apenas as pessoas, mas também os automóveis, dando origem a um fenómeno peculiar em que os veículos parecem desenvolver “protuberâncias de bebé”.

A man is on his deathbed, and he asks his wife, “Martha, soon I will be gone forever, and there’s something I have to know. In all these 50 years of marriage, have you ever been unfaithful to me?”
Martha replied, “Well, Henry, I have to be honest with you. Yes, I’ve been unfaithful to you three times during these 50 years, but always for a good reason.”
Henry was obviously hurt by his wife’s confession, but said, “I never suspected. Can you tell me what you mean by ‘good reasons?'”
Martha said, “The first time was shortly after we were married, and we were about to lose our little house because we couldn’t pay the mortgage. Do you remember that one evening I went to see the banker, and the next day he notified you that the loan would be extended?”
Henry recalled the visit to the banker and said, “I can forgive you for that. You saved our home, but what about the second time?”
Martha asked, “And do you remember when you were so sick, but we didn’t have the money to pay for the heart surgery you needed? Well, I went to see your doctor one night and, if you recall, he did the surgery at no charge.”
“I recall that,” said Henry. “And you did it to save my life, so of course I can forgive you for that. Now tell me about the third time.”
“Alright,” Martha said. “Do you remember when you ran for president of your golf club, and you needed 73 more votes?”
