International Paralympic Committee president: "Through their exceptional sporting performances, Paralympians will remind the world that disability is not itself a limitation, but an incredible dimension of human diversity." #Paralympics #OpeningCeremony
International Paralympic Committee president Andrew Parsons: "In the coming days, a record number of athletes and nations will showcase the very best of Paralympic winter sport." #OpeningCeremony #Paralympics
Wow, beautiful imagery of dancers in aligned colors forming a human version of the Paralympics logo. #OpeningCeremony #Paralympics
There's even ableism by the US streamer: Peacock removed the Olympics logo but hasn't added the Paralympics logo on the Roku app.
Ableism in sports news coverage: When organizations will cover the Olympics opening ceremony but not for the Paralympics. #OpeningCeremony #Paralympics
NBC is offering ASL interpretation of the opening ceremony happening now www.nbc.com/watch/mi... #accessibility #Paralympics #OpeningCeremony
Italy spent $23 million to make the 2,000-year-old Verona Arena accessible for all, the commentators said. #Paralympics #OpeningCeremony

Good news: It's Paralympics day in Milano Cortina!
This is awful. "An Army"?! An entire army?! And wouldn't they want to confirm before issuing a such statement about a death? Yikes.

US president Donald Trump says in a new Truth Social post that "there will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender" in capital letters.
NY Times: "Iran has delayed the naming of a successor to its slain supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, out of security concerns following American and Israeli comments that the new leader could also be targeted, according to two Iranian officials." www.nytimes.com/live...

What a headline www.thenationalnews....
So both can play the bluffing game. In reality - people are dying.
NBC News: Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country?
Iranian FM Araghchi: No, we are waiting for them.
NBC News: You are waiting for the U.S. military to invade, the ground troops?
Araghchi: Yes
I have little patience for this, I'm sorry. I mean, I get the online era amid distrust with AI (keep that suspicion and critical eye!) but a whole war is not fake. Good lord.
I feel for those experiencing loss and direct danger in the Middle East. And people elsewhere don't believe them? Sighs.
My friend who's from the Middle East but lives in South Carolina just had someone try to convince her that there is no war and "it's all AI." In case you're wondering how Americans are coping with what we're doing to the world
The new βwe live in a simulationβ
"Preliminary figures are 1,230 dead in Iran, at least 11 in Israel, six US soldiers and nine killed in Gulf states." www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...
People died. And are dying.
