  • It looks like warmongering actually played a part in this year's decision:

    The sanctions against those responsible for the war, the Russian and Belarusian states and governments, remain in place for the Olympic Games Paris 2024. This means, in particular, that:

    No flag, anthem, colours or any other identifications whatsoever of Russia or Belarus will be displayed at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in any official venue or any official function.

    No Russian or Belarusian government or state officials will be invited to or accredited for the Olympic Games Paris 2024.

  • I actually know a bit of backstory about this photo - it was a series on child labor in the south, and these are photos of oyster shuckers for the Maggioni Canning Co. around 1911.

    I'm assuming shucking oysters are rough on the hands, so it could be wounds, but it also looks like crusted-on dirt, so I'm not sure.

    Here's another photo where you can see their hands a bit better:

    And here's the original untouched photo:
