I’m just getting over our withdrawals from the games themselves and now I’ve reached a second-level of deprivation: I need my anthemic, motivational, tear-inducing commercials.

2016 is too far away.
The best/funniest/weirdest moments from London in nice, little, animated packages.
These are the moments from the 2012 Olympics that you’ll still be hearing about at the 2064 Olympics.
Not over the Spice Girls Reunion? Neither am I.
A strong showing for the out Olympians. 2 of 3 openly gay men medaled!

These are so cool.
Tilt-Shift photography uses a special lens to create a shallow depth of field, and make the subjects of a photo look like toy miniatures. Here are some striking examples from the Olympics.

American wrestler Jordan Burroughs defeated Iran’s Sadegh Goudarszi in freestyle wrestling to win gold. After the match and medal ceremony, Burroughs tweeted this photo.
Can you blame her?
Now we know what it would be like if a member of One Direction won a bronze medal.
Farah becomes only the seventh man to win the 5,000m and 10,000m in a single Olympics. See the finish here.
After the 4x100m relay was over, Bolt was like, “Here you go!” and held out the baton. “NOT.”
Was there a law that every recital costume had to have sequins?
This night is gonna rule.
Treat yo self.
