Does Anyone Know an AirBNB with Hidden Cameras?

I think they should just indicate that on their listings, for those of us who like to put on a good show.

Plus, by the time I check out, they've long pulled their eyeballs out already.

As important context for the last 30km, the cyclocross world champion and Netherlands road champion Mathieu van der Poel, went down hard (and got back up) at 60km:

The last 30km of the Tour of Flanders (including the final climbs of Oude Kwaremont and Patterberg) is here:

Men's Cycling Race Forced To Pause Due To Delay In Women's Race

It's the spring classics season, and today is the Dwars Door Vlaanderen.

In March and April, a series of bicycle races are held in the Flanders region of Belgium. The way these days work is that there are junior races, under 18's, elite women, and elite men, all of whom follow slightly different courses around loops of roads that take them over various cobbled hillside roads.

Each race is separated by a time gap and shares the same finish line, but follow different courses and cover different distances, so that they come across the finish line to the entertainment of spectators there (and where the timing devices, podium, officials, and other entertainment are located) at regular intervals.

Each race also has a full complement of support cars, motorcycles, emergency vehicles etc..

A few weeks back, the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad got some attention in the general press among people who don't have the first clue how bicycle races work, or the importance of aerodynamic advantages from vehicles and other riders, when the shorter women's race was getting close to the back of the vehicle convoy for the men's race. This was portrayed as some kind of "keeping women down" story.

Here's the DU poutrage thread over that piece of journalistic malpractice:

So, today in the Dwars Door Vlaanderen, the men's race had to be stopped due to a delay in the women's race because, sometimes shit happens in these things. Moments ago...

Men's Cycling Race Forced To Pause Due To Delay In Women's Race

Going on now at the Dwars Door Vlaanderen....

https://twitter.com/KONMBlog/status/1113424787152560128

I'm guessing this won't be the same "horror" over the fact that the spring classics run juniors, under 18's, women, and men over the same sub-loops, and sometimes shit happens, as it was when the women's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad was held up.

More Clients File Suit Against Avenatti...

Stormy had better hurry up and get in line for her $293k in malpractice damages, because that line is getting crowded...


https://www.keyt.com/news/santa-barbara-s-county/attorney-michael-avenatti-sued-in-santa-barbara/1065169579

Attorney Michael Avenatti sued in Santa Barbara

The former clients are suing Avenatti for what their attorneys call "professional negligence and breach of fiduciary duty over the mishandling of a settlement, misuse of settlement funds, and conflicts of interest."

The plaintiffs are represented by Cappello & Noël LLP, who have also represented local clients in high-profile cases including Ann Crawford-Hall, currently embroiled in a battle with the federal government over the proposed Santa Ynez parcel of land known as Camp 4.

According to court documents, the two plaintiffs were previously represented by Avenatti's law firm in 2006. The two were previous employees at FLIR Systems, Inc. who sued the company for malicious prosecution. FLIR, Systems Inc. eventually settled the case for $39 million, which was transferred to a trust operated by Avenatti's law firm.

The plaintiffs allege ethical violations and conflicts of interest as well as years of unnecessary litigation related to those funds.
