Steve & Yusuf

I would like to propose a buddy comedy action flick with Steve Nedoroscik and Yusuf Dikec go on a road trip to retrieve Yusuf’s dog. There are high octane chase scenes, vaulting over obstacles, shootouts, and somehow friendship. Yusuf drives, Steve sleeps. Cameos from Anthony Ammirati and more. I just want to see more of them after the Olympics.

Our women at the top of the podium!!!

🇧🇷✨💚🥇💛

Never felt less patriotic than when Simone Bills and Ilona Maher show up on my screen. I mean, they're everything. What do you mean I'm supposed to cheer for my own country ?

i'm curious because i really like watching the winter olympics but not so much the others, so i want to see what other people prefer.

if you have any particular reason for your choice, feel free to say :))

The first time one of our Pinoy boys EVER brought home the Olympic Gold.

And he did it. Twice.

Ngl I teared up hearing our national anthem being played.

And this after one of our Pinays brought home the Philippines' first Olympic gold EVER.

paris 2024 olympics ended ages ago but here’s my contribution to it almost 3 months later

For all your hosiery needs come to us www.MyVoguish.co.uk 😈🥰

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?

I fucking hate transvestigators, and I hate transphobes even more...

To be honest, I did not even think of the last supper when I saw the opening ceremony. The segment in question had so much fabulousness - a big party and fashion show with a diverse set of models: fat, queer, skinny, a man and woman kissing, different skin tones, a break dancer who used crutches, amputees. It’s too bad the joy was not shared by all.

I hear so many people hating on the Olympics for showing drag queens reenacting the Last Supper. That does seem pretty blasphemous. I'm curious to hear your thoughts about that

The morning after the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony, my mom expressed her disgust at drag queens recreating da Vinci’s last supper and said it’s fine if they don’t believe but they shouldn’t mock others. I had no idea what she was talking about, I watched the opening ceremonies but I missed that. She admitted she didn't notice it either but it was all over her morning news.

Tbh, I figured if she was going to be offended by anything, it would be the multi-racial ménage à trois

Or possibly the guillotined Marie Antoinette holding her head

I found online that what she was referring to is what took place on a bridge over the river Seine. There was a table which had a red carpet down the middle which served as a catwalk. At the center of the table was seated a woman wearing a silver headdress, surrounded by many drag queens and dozens of dancers and artists. Models featuring fashions from France's most promising young designers walked the runway.

The specific part of the ceremony that caused the offense was a closeup of the people at the table. The tableau was reportedly based on a painting by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz van Biljert called "Feast of the Gods," painted in 1635, and is housed in the Musée Magnin in Dijon, France. In the painting, the Greek gods on Mount Olympus have a banquet to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus.

The figure seated at the center of the table is Apollo, being the sun god he has a halo of light around his head.

One thing I liked is they updated the idea of Apollo with his lute to be portrayed by French DJ Barbara Butch with her equipment. Barbara advocates for several causes, such as acceptance of obese people and lesbian rights. She says her "aim is to unite people, gather humans & share love through music for all of Us to dance & make our hearts beat at unisson! Music sounds better with all of Us!"

They also had a blue Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fruit, vegetation, and festivities.

All that meaning wasn't explained during the broadcast and went over my head, but I guess it makes sense to have a scene in the Olympics that gives a nod to the Greek gods, where the Olympics began, and which is meant to convey celebratory festivities, and is based on a painting housed in a French museum.

Having a bunch of people on one side of the table reminded some people of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" painting.

The ceremony’s artistic director Thomas Jolly has said it was meant to celebrate diversity and pay tribute to feasting and French gastronomy. "The idea was to create a big pagan party in link with the God of Mount Olympus — and you will never find in me, or in my work, any desire of mocking anyone," Jolly said.

My guess is that if drag queens wanted to portray the Last Supper, they're talented enough that it would've been clear that was the intent.

Even if they meant to portray the "Last Supper, that painting has been recreated in many creative ways and I've never heard anyone upset about it, but maybe in this case they're upset because there were queer people involved.

Let's say the Olympic organizers did intend for this scene to be reminiscent of the "Last Supper," I'm good with it. Jesus would invite everyone to have a seat at the table, which is a good message for the Olympics to convey, all are welcome. No person at that table would be excluded from Jesus' table, but there's a number of Christians who exclude themselves if it meant not having to sit with queer people and others they perceive as sinners, which is ironic since Christianity teaches that we're all sinners.

In summary, I think some people misinterpreted the intention of what was presented, and a group of conservative media types promoted that misinterpretation to cause outrage because that would generate views and clicks. Most people who are angry by this weren't upset when they saw it originally aired, they are furious because they were told what they should think about it

rip james potter and sirius black you would’ve loved watching the paris olympics

best olympic meme hands down omfg

AS SOMEONE WHO DOESNT HAVE A SCHLONG BUT USED TO POLE VAULT I CAN GUARANTEE THE BRUISE IS MASSIVE

the bar you’re aiming to go over is relatively flexible, but still a bitch to hit or fall on top of. this one time I was vaulting and hit it with my foot and when I fell on the mat I landed on top of the bar, there was a purple bruise the size of my hand on my thigh and ass because I landed on top of it. it took three weeks to almost completely fade and by the time it was almost gone I managed to land on the same spot AGAIN and the bruise returned

Did you see what happened to the French pole vaulter

honestly completely OC:

FUCK ME THATS A HUGE DICK THE BRUISE MUST BE FUCK9NG HUGE AASDF;AOSDFGJ OAJFR'S
