The new terminal at Hollywood-Burbank Airport will open this October, with less than two years to go until Los Angeles hosts the 2028 Olympic & Paralympic Games. The redevelopment of Burbank Airport has been one of many infrastructure projects being undertaken in the LA area ahead of the games.

Tried selling this in Hollywood a few times. Deals kept dying because we wouldn’t give up the IP... so we finally just made the trailer ourselves.

It's an animated film inspired by Paralympian Blake Leeper where his prosthetic legs act like washed-up buddy cops.

Curious what you smart peeps think. Does this feel original, and remotely possible, or have we completely lost our minds?

It’s frustrating that in many sports men seem to have a physical advantage over women, especially in things like swimming and tennis. In swimming, men generally have larger lungs and greater upper-body strength, which can help with endurance and speed. In sports like tennis, men also tend to generate more power and speed. This makes me desperately want to find out is there any sport where women actually have the advantage over men? At least by 70% to 80% percent?

Thank you!

Wow. That's tough. Making workers wait two years for a pay increase.

What do you guys think of them adding summer sports because apparently IOC confirmed that the 2030 Winter Olympics in the French Alps won’t include any summer sports after discussions about potentially adapting some events for winter conditions.

In some ways I think it would have been interesting to experiment with certain indoor sports or crossover events,

Curious where everyone stands on this.

But you need to book (plenty of availability will be left) in May 2028, June 2028 or July 2028. The same goes for the Airbnbs and similar.

If you book in, say, July 2027 or December 2027, you will have to pay top dollar. If you book that early as a backup, only book fully cancellable stays.

So, why don’t you take advantage of the plummeting prices by booking accommodation late. Also, again, the same goes for the airfares.

There will be FEWER tourists in LA in 2028 during the Olympics than on a non-Olympic year.

Not joking. Just tired of people always thinking the reverse would be true.

The host of the 2030 Youth Olympic Games was supposed to be elected next month, but that has been pushed back. It has been suggested that it is possible that the IOC might even do away with the Youth Olympic Games.

Do we know where things are going with the Youth Olympics?
