Afghan athlete's DQ shows IOC's support of women is not unconditional
The Paris 2024 team is made up of 37 talented athletes – 13 of them are women – competing in 12 different sports. They're a team born from circumstance and opportunity. Their existence signifies hope, belonging and inclusion.
Despite the attempts of the IOC to claim that they do not want to be political, the reality is that sport is and will always be political. The existence of the EOR points to global unrest and politics as one of the complex layers why the team exists.
TIL One of the people imprisoned for threatening South Park creators later became an FBI informant and now works to counter extremism
Federal prosecutors once regarded Jesse Curtis Morton as a threat to national security.
The FBI said the pro-jihadist website he helped found, RevolutionMuslim.com, inspired a number of terrorist plots. On that website, militant training videos, bomb-making instructions, praise for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and chat rooms for discussions among members created a multi-media stew of toxic content, they said.
In 2012, Morton was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for his role in running the site.
Now, just four years later, Morton is free and has been hired as a terrorism analyst at a George Washington University-based think tank.

In reference to the last post on temperature blankets. This is my temperature blanket for the year 2022. I didn't want it to be a giant blanket so what I did was took the average temperature over two days for each row. It ended up being a bit smaller than a throw blanket. It's also evident that my tension got looser over time which made it come out pretty wonky. Overall I think it turned out pretty nice!
