This was the absolute best way to open the Olympics for the US. He's a 17-year-old from a town near Cleveland who really likes snowboarding. He brought his whole family to South Korea (including 6 siblings) and there's video of people packed in the bar in his hometown cheering him on after he won the gold. It's a movie-level underdog story.

Also he overslept because he fell asleep watching Netflix.

The list is organised into alpha, bravo, charlie and delta groups and gives each student a ranking.

One student on the list is called a “communist that supports women’s rights’’ another a “snarky lil bitch’’ while another is “degenerate weeb trash’’.

Some are listed for having previously “made fun’’ of the student in the past or for even for being “too honest, so I can’t manipulate him much’’.

The body-hacking scientist who implanted an Opal card chip in his hand claims the NSW government has finally made good on threats to cancel his pass. But the defiant “biohacker” is preparing to fight the move in court.

Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow, which is his legal name, cut down the Opal chip and had it encased in biocompatible plastic and implanted just under the skin on his left hand by a piercing expert in April 2017.

Mr Meow-Meow said he would launch legal action against TfNSW for unlawfully cancelling his cards.

The guy has an extremely stupid name, and attends conventions about cyborg rights, but he comes across as pretty sane and straightforward in that article. He seems to be genuinely happy to be putting his money where his mouth is, and setting precedent in the courts.

His biohack made headlines around the world in the hours that followed the operation but Transport for NSW warned it would cancel cards that had been tampered with.

He's not a cyborg though. He's just a guy with plastic in his hand. That one pretty girl with the robot arm is more cyborg than this dude because he doesn't have any biomechatronic body parts.

Everyone self-proclaimed cyborg that I've ever seen is a coward who just wears stuff or thinks something less body-altering than an ear piercing makes them a cyborg. If they were serious they'd be sawing off their legs and replacing them with those spring-loaded running prosthetics or something.

If I ever lose a leg I'm replacing it with a pogo stick. Do you have any idea how much travel time I'll save if every other step is a hop?!

I am reasonably confident that 'if you tamper with the card that we own and are lending to you, we will make it invalid' isn't a particularly unusual legal precedent.
