I love this. "Yes, I've checked the rules again and you are not in fact allowed to ride a bicycle in the marathon. My bad."
She wrote an apology statement on Chinese social media platform RedNote, where she has 520,000 followers and regularly posts running videos.

“Riding a bicycle during the Berlin Marathon did indeed violate race rules,” the statement read, translated from Mandarin to English. “Even if I felt unwell on the course, it should never be a reason for me to break the rules.”

It's difficult because people will just believe you. One of my colleagues legit thinks I didn't see the sun until I was 16 (there's a VHS of me in Spain as a baby so clearly not true)

I keep getting ads for a JCB card where they go into a bunch of stores and ask "JCB OK?" But that just opens up the possibility theres an expectation of some places saying no?

American TV in general has a problem that no show ever really ends on its own terms. If it's working it runs too long, if it doesn't make money it ends before it's finished

Rico Charges @NoChorus

Once at my granny's house my uncle excitedly said a James Bond film was on the tv. My Da said "sure they're all the same, a load of lads shooting at one lad then a mountain blows up." My uncle got really mad at how reductive that was then became furious when the mountain blew up.

My Da, of course, knew it was the one where the mountain blows up at the end. This was a foundational lesson which illustrated to me that walking the path of the hater means knowing more about something that people

I'm sympathetic to the idea that it's not really fair that Chelsea got to oil money their way back to relevance and then suddenly that's not allowed anymore, but that was also bad

At this point, I’m very used to sports teams - especially rugby clubs - making themselves dramatically more generic with boring crest redesigns, but the Sharks one might be the most catastrophic downgrade yet.
