Anti-gratitude thread

Fell asleep super late last night listening to a podcast. The podcast was good but I slept too late. It was called You Probably Think This Story's About You.

Also, despite putting on a sleep timer, I end up extending the listening beyond that without setting another one, and before you know it, I've listened to two other podcasts in my sleep.

Two on my shit list today:

Yellowstone alarmists/conspiracy theorists. There was a small hydrothermal explosion which is not a sign of imminent eruption.
People being weird about Breaking (aka breakdancing) being in the Olympics. How different is it, in principle, to rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, figure skating etc.? In fact, it's literally more directly competitive -- it's a 1:1 dance-off!

I'm looking forward to the break dancing. Something a bit different.

Me too! Though the time zone difference definitely sucks for watching live.

Yeah. That's gonna be a challenge.
