the reason these regs went largely unchallenged by f1 media until now is because they went largely unchallenged by f1 fans and i genuinely have to look no further than the charles and oscar spa situation to point out that it’s because a lot of you are embarrassingly allergic to hard racing that f1 thought they could sell this artificial bullshit as entertaining in the first place. remember how at the beginning of the season a lot of people swore up and down that watching the ferraris whack each other for the epic highs and lows of p3 was the best racing they’ve EVER seen in formula 1 and they called it ethical wheel instead of stupid fucking battery powered back and forth oh and then people who never watched a singular lap of a 90s f1 race started coming out saying the sport's been boring for 40 years now actually and it's not until 2026 that overtaking was made possible and kimi antonelli who gets noted for track limits 7 minutes into an fp2 session and who had you clutching a rosary last year whenever he got near your driver because as my best friend charles leclerc pointed out so astutely he is BAD at wheel to wheel no he's actually the best qualifier and driver on the grid and max verstappen with his clearly superior red bull engine he's just washed i fear don't worry about it
eddie really did say "do you know how much christopher misses you how could you youre not around" and "did you ever stop and think what that would do to us" when they had known each other for one (1) year.
Context for anyone who is wondering: Lamine Yamal's parents won an UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot in which Barça players posed with kids, and 5 month old Lamine happened to get 20yo Messi. Which is like. Literally insane
Did you know cracked shells are the most common cause for wild turtles to need rehabilitation? Did you know turtles with cracked shells are the most common reptiles in wildlife rehabilitation? Did you know it takes months for the shell to fuse back together? Did you know they fill in the empty spots with epoxy? Did you know that for reasons I cannot understand or articulate, I am fine watching footage of all other veterinary procedures but witnessing injured turtles undergo surgery makes me tear up with grief and sympathy? I have absolutely no idea why watching a spay on a mammal or the surgical repair of a broken leg or the draining of a hoof abscess on an ungulate does not bother me but little turtles being glued back together like Humpty Dumpty makes me hurt too. I’ve cleaned bite abscesses on cats and been fine but watching videos of turtles getting their shell glued together is where my mind draws the line for some reason.
Yes, I think so. Other broken bones are “just” broken bones but cracked shells open a void into the poor critter’s insides, which is horrifying to think of and extremely painful, I would assume, since turtles can feel their shells.
Anyway, the point of this post is that though shell fractures look extremely grave, they are often survivable if the critter receives prompt professional help. Native turtle species are in decline practically everywhere, every turtle matters, please keep an eye out for them when you are cutting the grass or moving heavy objects and please bring injured turtles to licensed wildlife rehabilitation facilities. They deserve to live long, happy, healthy lives.
ㅤfire station 121 in los angeles runs on a wire stretched to its breaking point. not because of the calls – they've handled worse – but because of the duo that is captain max verstappen and his best firefighter, who also happens to be his biggest headache.
ㅤmax is a man of procedures and statistics. to him, protocol isn't just another chapter in the handbook – it's the only thing standing between his crew and a line-of-duty funeral. his face permanently wears the expression of someone who's 'too old for this shit', despite the fact he isn't even thirty.
charles leclerc couldn't be more different. he's sunshine wrapped in soot-stained turnout gear. after the shift, he can usually be found at the station piano in the day room, quietly playing while the rest of the crew winds down. somehow, his smile is enough to lift everyone's spirits, even after the third callout of the day.
out on the fireground, though, that same sunshine becomes a walking chain-of-command violation. charles isn't suicidal – not even close. he simply seems to have been born without the instinct for self-preservation. if someone is trapped inside, he'll charge straight into the hottest part of the fire without a second thought, regardless of what orders he's been given.
the entire station has seen max lose his voice, tearing into charles beside the engine after a call, one soot-blackened gloved hand gripping his chin while everyone else quietly pretends not to watch. and yet no one can understand why the captain has never filed the paperwork to have him pulled from active duty.
the answer reveals itself long after the shift is over. the locker room is silent except for the metallic clatter of lockers. charles peels off his sweat-soaked t-shirt, exposing a fresh bruise blooming across his ribs. max looks away. he isn't angry that charles broke protocol. he's angry because one day he might not reach him in time. because one day, that reckless little ray of sunshine might disappear into the flames and never come back out.
— you think diving in headfirst while the roof is collapsing is heroism? no, leclerc. It's fucking negligence. and when it gets you killed, I'm the one who's going to sit behind that desk filling out the nfirs report. not you. I'm sure as hell not writing ‘cause of death: clinical stupidity complicated by a chronic need to be liked.’ you either operate within protocol as part of this crew, or you operate outside of it – and then you're a dead man. I don't need a fallen hero. I need my firefighter alive.

"SHANE HATES OTHER GAY PEOPLE" actually shane co-founded and operates a mental health charity in which he intentionally invites openly LGBT players to coach a children's hockey camp something that would absolutely open him up to a lot of homophobic abuse for doing even though he himself is not out.
also this is part of a disturbing but sadly not uncommon attitude that progress = women (specifically women most of the time) showing more skin. because not showing skin is "following irrational religious modesty mandates" like the man on twitter says
somehow being progressive and secular automatically means putting women's bodies on display (although of course these people would shame women showing that much skin because they chose to). gee, I wonder why...
(to be clear, religious concealing clothing should also be respected as long as it's voluntary!)
