It's frustrating for editors and for writers who are doing legitimate work. My best advice to writers right now is this:
1. Be human and do video/phone interviews. AI can't replicate conversations.
2. Have your portfolio updated. It's a must for landing clients but also helps prove your identity.

actually my fave thing was at lombardia when they accidentally played yuma's music for ilia, and after they'd fixed it and he skated his FS he was like "i enjoyed yuma's program so much that when i heard the music i was almost like, oh now it's my turn to do it!" 🥺

Even if you don't love ice dance or Romeo & Juliet programmes, love them for their meme re-enacting skills.
still mad about the free dance but at least this happened
![screenshot of Emilea Zingas’ Instagram story: Zingas and two other blond women ice dancers are doing the three Spider-Men pointing at each other meme with the caption “the 3 different Romeo and Juliet’s [sic] in the Olympic free dance”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rdgv7mbkq4as4vnezrgiukkl/bafkreih4p4y24pucshlpipxkub4e6fbelgp5c3purwy5cg6l6a4r6ahwpa@jpeg)

Give Madi Chock a crossbow you cowards
I’m proposing a new Winter Olympics combo sport akin to biathlon that combines figure skating and archery. Like completing a triple axel and immediately hitting a bullseye to Vogue would go so hard.

Seems like you could "magic up" curling pretty easily. Get some kind of dragon stuff going with figure skating. Idk. Why do I have to do all the thinking around here.

Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.

A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.

Good morning, figure skating fans! The first backflip landed in an international competition was by American man Terry Kubicka at the 1976 Olympics. The move became illegal a year later, allegedly because you're supposed to land jumps on one foot. 🧵1/3

Some people think being homeless is a moral failing, when actually the moral failure is that we as society don't think certain people deserve to have a warm place to sleep at night unless they get rid of their dog or stop using drugs or get a job.

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
