Holy fuck, I haven't taken a full breath since I saw the look on Amber's face after her skate.
Cause you *know* if the US had lost by one point, she would have decided it was entirely her fault.
Like, watching her try to sink into the stands next to Danny after Shun's skate almost killed me.

Something getting lost in the backflip discourse is that Ilia isn't responsible for the backflip revival. French skater Adam Siao Him Fa is, and iirc he has acknowledged Surya Bonaly as an influence.
Here's more or less what happened:

She was so moved that she wants to get back into skating (hasn't watched since childhood) and has asked me to catch her up on lore.
Someone send me one of those elaborate ice dance entanglement charts stat.

One of my very best friends, who has had a very rough year (even by 2025/and 26 standards), is texting me from the stands of the figure skating events today and I could not be happier about the situation. 😭

For anyone who is just seeing the Chock/Bates free dance for the first time:
Yes, you did just watch a program where she is a matador and he is a bull.
Yes, they are the team that did the program where she was an extraterrestrial and he was an astronaut at the last Olympics.

Look, if any of y'all want me to get out of your mentions for the next couple of weeks, feel free to tell me to shut up. I'm about to go fully feral.
Do I enjoy talking to other obsessive fans on here? Yes. But there is a special pleasure in watching non obsessive fan friendos watch this mess with fresh eyes during the Olympics.

My partner and I were discussing what Disney characters we were most like, and it occurs to me that I am 100% Klucky and proud of it.

Schadenfreude as a service?
I carry grudges on other peoples' behalf, maybe I should consider indulging in a little extra schadenfreude on behalf of people who are politically but not mentally wired to do so themselves. 😂

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Just got v confused about which posts in the Baltimore feed were about the BTS concert ticket sales, and which were about the inexplicable All Blacks vs Springboks test match ticket sales.

At some point I should probably talk to my therapist about the discomfort it causes me to disappoint my Animal Crossing island residents.
They are sad that I haven't visited them in three years and two months.
I feel like history's greatest monster.

for the first performance, I would say, that's a solid success. I'm very happy. Steph is also very happy.
Stéphane: Yes, I love my life. And this horrible skating world.
Deniss: Wow, you're so positive. You are as pessimistic as me.
Stéphane: Yes. Exactly.

All of the four year fans about to flip on figure skating in the next few weeks have no idea what world they're about to encounter.

Told my mom that Tenley Albright was involved in the women's medal ceremony, and that I was very taken with how taken she seemed with Amber.
Her response was, "Wow. 45 years ago, Albright was coaching the daughter of my regular cab driver."
Because of course. 😂
