Michelle Rapp, Tough Cookie@Graham_LRR I loved having it on in the background as I painted!
Also the Sarajevo wolf jingle will live in my head rent free forever.
@Graham_LRR SARAJEVOOOOOOOO
@kilnfiendpotter I love him more now.
Apparently it’s pronounced more like “VOOCH-ko”.

@Graham_LRR That makes sense!
Apparently Boston was in the running for the Olympics for 2024, and the city was like NOPE.
San Francisco had also been bidding on a North America spot, and JFC I'm glad it got passed over.
@Graham_LRR What are your thoughts on the logo?
( I have thoughts, but yours are more entertaining.)
@kilnfiendpotter I currently have no earthly idea what this is supposed to be.
I THINK it’s a wreath of laurels but so simplified as to be unrecognizable, rendering it utterly bland.
It’s a nice ENOUGH polygonal horseshoe, but why is that their logo?
Ultimately, not a fan.
Texan_Reverend@Graham_LRR @kilnfiendpotter To me it slots directly into the NFT/Crypto logo oeuvre. Maybe an Ingress clone game logo.
@Texan_Reverend @Graham_LRR oh JFC can you imagine an Olympics crypto/NFT scheme?
"Now YOU can own this gold medal moment - FOREVER - on the block chain!"
Aaron Allermann@kilnfiendpotter @Texan_Reverend @Graham_LRR What do you mean 'imagine', they already did it https://olympics.com/ioc/news/officially-licensed-olympic-nft-pins-announced
@mtvcdm @kilnfiendpotter @Texan_Reverend Yike. For what it’s worth, I am fairly confident they no longer support any of these. Since everyone has realized NFTs are stupid.
@Graham_LRR @mtvcdm @Texan_Reverend I'm only a little sad it wasn't covered in one of Dan Olson's deep dives.
