love is a choice. it's a choice every day. and you can lean towards it or away from it, and you have always leant towards it. that is just who you are.
the stalls at the food markets i've gone to have ramped up their genai use from 50% to 99% over the months. even if we ignore the environmental effects, the "designs" make all these foods look completely unappetising. all these small businesses are honestly so fucking shameless
speaking of rg 25, i'm also one of those people who refuses to look at anything associated with that final. also the fact that it was my birthday too...
and idk if it's obvious but in my web weave i smudged jannik's face on purpose so i wouldn't have to look at his face AKSNSKSKSS
i love how easily jannik mentions rg25. I love how Roger always says wimbledon 2019 didn't bother him that much, and said it very quickly afterwards. i love how the losses we as fans might find particularly load-bearing tend to be conceptualized entirely different by the athletes who experience them, which goes to show there is always an undeniable schism between the experience of the watcher and the enactor
I'm a thief. I steal. I break the rules. Sometimes I break the rules because the rules let people get hurt. No. The rules say it's okay to hurt people. To be cruel. And it's not. People need to be kind. And if they're not kind, I will steal their stuff and Eliot will punch them in the face until they are kind. But the main to do this my way is...it's our way. And doing this lets us be us. And that's enough.

"This was the very first video I filmed of Jannik, on July 8, 2015. He arrived at the training camp on Elba Island for a one-week camp with Riccardo Piatti, and that's where we did his very first video analysis. What impressed me from day one was his incredible passion for tennis and his constant desire to improve. He had an extraordinary curiosity: he watched, listened, asked questions, and wanted to understand every detail. It was clear that he was never satisfiedāhe always wanted to learn something new every time he stepped onto the court."
anon, do not even get me started. i hate even talking about him, but if you askedā¦ there is a mountain of reasons why so many of us canāt stand bublik, and it goes way beyond āheās just a character.ā because honestly, he is a character, in the most negative sense of the word. the kind who mistakes cruelty for charisma and thinks being provocative is the same thing as being interesting.
and thatās really the point: it is a pattern for him. itās not one bad moment or one regrettable outburst. he called nadal and murray ābald and oldā while talking about their retirements ceremonies, then later tried to wave it away as something that had been ālost in translation.ā he said doubles players āpretend like theyāre tennis playersā and that the whole format is ājust a joke.ā he dismissed padel as something you play when you ācanāt play doubles.ā he mocked hubert hurkaczās playing style during a match, and took a shot at arthur rinderknechās appearance in geneva. it feels like everyone he plays, everyone beneath him, everyone who does the sport a little differently, eventually becomes the butt of the joke. and what makes it even worse, at least to me, is that there rarely seems to be any real remorse afterwards. more often than not, itās brushed off as a joke, blamed on translation, or treated as though everyone else is simply too sensitive. after a while, it stops looking like someone who occasionally says the wrong thing and starts looking like someone who simply doesnāt think thereās anything wrong with saying it in the first place. itās relentless, and after a while it just comes across as mean-spirited.
he also hosted the podcast episode where kyrgios hyped up the so-called ābattle of the sexesā exhibition against aryna sabalenka with all the usual sexist comments and talking about women not being able to return the menās serves. bublik seemed perfectly happy to sit there and play along, because thatās what he so often does: turn other people into the punchline and call it entertainment.
and the more you actually learn about his track record, the harder it becomes to see him as āfunnyā or āentertainingā at all. what you find instead is a long trail of genuinely offensive behaviour, homophobia, ableism and a constant habit of casually belittling other people. heās a character, alright. just not the kind i and many have any interest in watching.
