Nerd, loves tomatoes, occasionally does some lawyering. Probably obsessing over vroom (F1/Indycar) and mourning over losing all my Oakland teams… CURRENTLY 24/7 FIGURE SKATING
Pinned
Hello new friends! I was a nobody on Twitter and continue to be a nobody here! My bio is self explanatory, you’ll mostly get tweets about Formula 1 or Indycar, with the occasional bon mot about pop culture, John Fisher being an asshole, or you know, the future of democracy. Please say hi!
This. It’s a frustrating sport and you’ll experience so many highs and lows, but there’s nothing like seeing a quad come together.
For people who enjoyed figure skating at the Olympics and want more, following skaters trajectories over 4 years is actually really rewarding and fun. None of the skaters who were at the top 4 years ago won gold here. We’ve watched them all rise and improve year after year.*

Good lord I hope Eteri never knows peace… “I feel a little ashamed,” Petrosian said, after taking a few minutes to compose herself, “for myself, for the federation, for my coaches and for the spectators that it went this way. I understand that it’s my own fault.” #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Somebody please get Matteo Rizzo paddock passes to the Ferrari garage… he watches the feeder series FFS!

I’m here for the women’s free! A few quick thoughts: Justice for wakaba’s running up that hill, I hope skaters give a few second thoughts about the *content* of their spoken word and stop tempting fate, love seeing early skaters delighted with their skates! #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Marshawn Lynch is all of us. This might not be *the* most Oakland thing ever but it’s got to be close… #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

I cannot speak to the legitimacy or providence of this but if this is real… did they really not invite Matteo Rizzo to the Olympic exhibition gala in his own hometown? RUDE (esp given the inclusion of grassl over Rizzo…) #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Detailed look at nbc’s bts production decisions as Ilia imploded, framed thru an ilia-focused lens. I admire what a difficult job that must have been to manage live but it continues to bug how shaidarov became a secondary storyline to his own gold medal awfulannouncing.com/nbc/ilia-mal...

This is diabolical to have your ex commentating on your short program performance…

Christ just clocked that Adeliia petrosian is currently in fifth. I swear to god if the pattern holds… #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Totally unrelated, but a reminder that Amber’s ex Nathan Chen also boffed his short at his first Olympics, and then crushed the free to go from 17th to 5th. She’s not letting her ex outshine her, right? (Yes yes, I know men’s vs women’s scoring differences etc.) #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Stop the clock with Amber Glenn's triple axel. Nothing else happened after that.

New thread for the women’s! INCHERESTING choice for Eteri to not sit next to Adeliia and instead to have Danill do the kiss and cry, despite what Johnny says. I don’t recall a time where the 3A or Valieva didn’t sit with Eteri, does anyone else remember? #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Little late here, has there been a good video of the men’s figure skating medal ceremony? Just realized I don’t think nbc showed it (shocker) and I didn’t see it in any of the highlights. I’d love to see shaidarov get his gold medal! #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

The Olympic women's short program is today, and this is my preview / reminder for those who may be wondering what happened since the last Olympics.

At the last Olympics, as many of you know, the breathless talk of the commentators was about women doing quad jumps! Wow! Amazing!

As if I didn’t have enough feelings about tomorrow’s event, I finally got a chance to watch the Taylor Swift promo for the blade angels and squeeee #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

New thread for pairs free: Deanna wasn’t going to let that program fall apart. I’m so glad she ended strongly and that last lift was GORGEOUS! #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

New pairs thread: I do not appreciate that this pair event was to have started 5 minutes ago and I’m still watching Birds Eye view shots of the Dolomites and the duomo #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Even though it would truly terrify me to process the power of @markhanretty.bsky.social’s predictions if he ends up being right on this one, here is why we should be all rooting for Deanna motherfucking Stellato-Dudek #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating
Figure Skating Is a Young Woman’s Sport. She Wants to Change That.

Has social media had an increase in people who obnoxiously choose the worst possible interpretation of everything people say in recent years or am I just noticing it more as I get older

My dad is rewatching the men’s event completely unspoiled. He’s screaming so much and we haven’t even hit the final flight… #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating
