Paralympians Liesl Tesch and Daniel Fitzgibbon making waves at #Rio2016 #OhWhataFeeling @Toyota_Aus ⛵️

I love algorithms. I'm passionately fascinated by them. But it's always good to remember that no matter how clever they are, they have no judgement. This leads to things like this, where Google's top suggested story about the women's 800m Olympic final is a thread from the utterly repugnant Roosh V forums (I don't recommend reading it). This is why supervision and human intervention are so important. It's very helpful for companies like Google when people report this kind of inappropriate content. I reported this a few hours ago, but at the time of posting it's still up. If you want to help out, it's pretty easy. There doesn't seem to be a feedback link inside the little Olympics applet, but if you just search "800m athletics Rio 2016" and then scroll to the bottom of the page, there should be a feedback button.

This is cute......however......why is he holding her like a 5 year old child? I know she's tiny and looks about 10 but she is a young woman with a lot of power 🙋🙋✊✊ Come on Zac......don't do that 😕😕

I love the variety of people in this world. It gives me something different to look at. I mean......who wants to stare in the mirror all day evey day?

STOP THE HATE!!!

Christian Voice, do your FUCKING research before you you tweet something so FUCKING stupid and hurtful.

I did some of my own research, and Great Britain hadn't won a Gold medal in diving before Rio 2016, and that was won by Jack Laugher and Chris Mears in the 3m Springboard.

Since 1904, when Britain first competed in diving, we have won 8 medals (1 Gold, 2 Silver and 5 Bronze), and had a total of 24 divers compete. 4 of the 8 medals have been won since London 2012.

As somebody of the LGBT community (even though people might not consider Asexual people as being part of that community), I find it offensive that you blame being Gay on his recent bad day. It was unfortunate when he had the bad day, but being Gay had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

And he was not "seduced by an older man". He found Lance when he was thinking about giving up diving. They needed each other, because Tom had just lost his dad, and Lance had just lost his brother and his mum was ill.
