Catching up on the ice dance and the Canadians were my personal favourites - elegant, poignant, and they looked beautiful together. Deserved a medal, wish it was higher.

Utterly fed up of sports commentators piling on the pressure with the GB athletes at this Winter Olympics. Do they suddenly believe that we have Norway's climate and talented winter sports athletes are emerging from everywhere? Not at all. We don't have the weather, the facilities or the funding.

Just a last quick mention of this one!
Okay, fam, this book here. Let's talk about it. I had it on my desk, I went in hard at auction, and unfortunately lost out. If fucked-up bone lesbians are your jam, and you want some weird mash-up of Gideon the Ninth and fucking Gormenghast, then get this on your radar. Out in March. It's sublime.

BALINT: Weak sauce
BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution--
BALINT: You want to go there! Really? Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust! *storms off*

On one hand, yes, this was last month at a different event and NOT the Olympics but on the other hand I don't care, I have been watching this on a loop and laughing hysterically for ten minutes, this is cinema fr fr

This is an incredibly niche #traitors tweet but having rewatched Series 3 and the extreme unpleasantness and bullying that Leanne did against the other players, particularly Alexander, I wonder how much better Alexander would have fared in the loveliness of Series 4.

I would love to know why anyone has the audacity to put so much pressure and expectation on GB athletes at the Winter Olympics. It's bad enough in the Summer version, but man, this island falls apart when it snows - anyone good enough on snow or ice to even reach the Olympics should be celebrated!

I love all of these an unseemly amount. Amazing work, sir.

Shun Sato was robbed there. His performance was so much more complete than Ilia Malinin. Sure, land all those quads, but where is the dancing part of the routine? Where is the class?
