They're gonna make both Yuma and Ilia sit through five hours of interviews where they ask what went on and how they lost the gold, instead of letting them go sit by themselves and rehydrate and have a little cry.

Outrageous.

I feel like after the drama that was the ice dance, the men’s free skate was a palate cleanser. Yeah it didn’t go as expected, but dang that was wholesome in the end. #olympics

This child just sitting there not believing it’s happening was such a mood tho. #olympics
This moment is amazing. No one was even talking about Mischa as a medal contender and he won GOLD. I'm so beyond thrilled for him! #Olympics

Okay, men’s free skate is cursed. #olympics

Adam Siao Him Fa has probably the most interesting program in the men’s free skate. Pity it wasn’t there for him today. #olympics

I’m extremely far from any sort of expert, but watching men’s #figureskating, I’m pretty shocked by the poor quality of their basic skating. Between jumps, no one is particularly dynamic, moving around the ice slowly and clunkily.

Conflicted about the ice dancing - Cizeron is easily the most annoying skater (the arrogance practically oozes out of him) in the competition, and Chock/Bates are precious, but the French couple’s program *is* out of this world.

Watching the #Olympics ice dancing I miss the heyday of twitter about ten years ago, when posting in real time and interacting with others watching was an event in itself. It feels like we really lost something there.

A cheerful thought for a Sunday night: We're already 29% of the way through February; by the end of the month the UK will have an hour and forty minutes more daylight each day than it did at the start. Spring is coming x

A little snack for thought: I’m watching Five Days at Memorial, about the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. An event in it is the flyby Pres George W Bush did over New Orleans; it was seen as callous and his reputation never really recovered.

How have the times changed.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Watching #FigureSkating is a truly fantastic way to hear a lot of music that was popular in the 1990s. Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, soundtrack of Romeo + Juliet, and someone will always, always bring that piano part from the Matrix.

This is the Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris), and it's just straight up a dinosaur.

Like, I know *all* birds are technically avian dinosaurs, but my first thought looking at this guy is: dinosaur.
