Salt Lake City awarded 2034 Winter Olympics
Sounds like it was a mere formality...
The capital city of Utah was the only candidate since the International Olympic Committee gave Salt Lake City exclusive negotiating rights last year in the process that was fast-tracked for 2034 and led to U.S. being awarded the games.
The campaign team presenting the bid on stage to IOC members included the Governor of Utah Spencer Cox, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall and Alpine ski great Lindsey Vonn. Back home, a 3 a.m. public watch party gathered to see a broadcast from Paris.
Salt Lake City's final approval in a vote by those members will bring back the Winter Games 32 years after first hosting in 2002.

Women who have no children...

There are only 2 reasons why a woman doesn’t have children. Either she can’t, or she doesn’t want to. And either way it’s none of your god damn business.

So many tributes pouring in for Joe Biden
This one isn't anywhere near comprehensive, but it encapsulates the last 3.5 years nicely:

@brent_peabody
With a 50/50 Senate, this man—
- stared down Russia
- codified gay marriage
- passed the biggest climate bill, ever
- passed the biggest infrastructure bill, ever
- signed huge bills on gun control, semiconductors, and veterans
- defied a red wave
Thank you forever, Joe!
It's been 30 years!!!
