If you find an injured owl:
Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.
Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.
Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.
If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

I didn't know about the race to paint dicks on the road. This sounds more entertaining than watching cyclists being followed by thousands of vans.
kinda like the most interesting thing about olympia is the people who try to extinguish the flame
I didn’t know about that, but I’m not surprised at all, ha ha.
Whaaaaat!?
I assume it's when the torch passing ceremonial run that people would try their hardest to extinguish the torch.
I don’t care about the sport at all, but I occasionally watch the Tour for the landscapes, and I’m probably not the only one.
I don’t know how it is in other countries, but on French TV, one of the commentators gives geographical and cultural informations in addition to the ~boring~ sport stuff. That should be great, but unfortunately, the guy who’s been in charge of that since several years is a far-right pseudo-historian who regularly gives slanted information... I’m so angry that he was given this job again when there are so many serious journalists who could do a great job.
