You guys, what have I been saying

Taps the sigbn

Got to my hotel just in time for Kévin (this is the Men's FS thread)

Every piece of reporting on music licensing at the Olympics overlooks a key point: the IOC is an independent entity, exempt from both ISU policies and host country regulations. Also, they don't seem to have publicly outlined procedures for handling music licensing.

I'm a big fan of the new Cult Objects album. I know we've got several months ahead of us, but it's easily one of my favorite of the year: cultobjects.bandcamp.com/album/amulet

Ever since the results of yesterday's FD I've had this feeling that were about to have a SLC judging scandal redux and I can't shake it

I think the proper way for Madi and Evan to get revenge is to start up a school of their own. Get the band back together with Igor and make Z/K 2030 champs

Time for Evan Bates to begin running for the US presidency

I hate that I am stuck in a meeting right now!!!!!

I talked with five of the top six ice dance teams at the #Olympics about the free dance programs, which will be performed tonight, the meaning of life and the meaning of death in their performance. Thankful skaters allowed me to go deep with them #figureskating : wapo.st/3OzFSXk

I am not mentally ready for the Olympic Free Dance, but here we are (this is the thread)

OOoooh someone at a real media outlet wrote about FB/C for real real defector.com/frances-vira...

IT'S TIME, RISE MINION NATION RISE (this is the men's SP thread)

Love seeing the Internet Peanut Gallery get shut down over their dipshit takes. 4 year FS fans, you are coming into Our House. We follow this sport day in and day out. Know your manners.

BREAKING Canadian pairs team Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps are coming to the Olympics. They leave Canada tomorrow. Their Olympic dream was in doubt after Deanna hit her head in a training accident. But she has been medically cleared to compete at the Winter Games.

Surya Bonaly is actually interviewed in my piece about the history of the backflip. Why it was banned, why it came back, and its connection to race and politics in a political sport: wapo.st/4tnBhrr #suryabonaly #figureskating #olympics2026 #iliamalinin

Is this skier going down the hill backwards??? Lunatics

I don't think we've talked enough about the Tara Lipinski Botox ad I can't stop laughing over it

I am competing this weekend and I'm so tired from training and don't wanna go to the rink anymore but also don't want to set my entry fee $$$ on fire with a crap skate, so I must endure Which is to say I kind of understand athletes at the Olys rn 😂

Imagine going 90+ with twizzles that looked as bad as that…

For anyone who wants to watch the figure skating events on Peacock without commentary, look for the "Venue Feed" option!!! Free yourself from the tyranny of T&J!

Individual ice dance events begin today, I turned on the TV and was greeted by this icon of the sport staring off into the distance/void (this is the thread)

The only time I have ever been to Shiroi Hana was for a group meal with *checks notes* ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, whom my friend was tour managing at the time. It was good! www.inquirer.com/food/restaur...

The message I took from last night’s BAD BUNNY performance: we continue open.substack.com/pub/thefutur...

First of all, no one is doing a 5T (yet)! Second, imagine having a PhD and just making shit up like this

Bad Bunny has a consulting historian. news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...

Watched figure skating and Bad Bunny, that's the America I believe in

I heard this and went, "I thought the rhythm dance was tomorrow"

The live scoring worked so well for the Team Pair FS @rockerskating.com! Just wish there was a way to see my scores after the event has concluded

Wow Ellie Kam landed a throw!!! (This is the team event thread)

Uhhh Michelle Kwan supplement ad???

Imperialist sex workers in music have ruined us.

Time for team event (this is the thread)

I've been trying to use the @rockerskating.com scoring app but it keeps crashing 💔 (it's so much fun jackie, I hope you get it working!)

Proud of Amber for speaking up AND for acknowledging that sports are political: www.reddit.com/r/FigureSkat...

Actually said to myself how much this photo of Maddie looked like a painting yesterday and lo

The Reluctant Bride, by Auguste Toulmouche, 1866

Absolutely hilarious hearing Ashley on Gold Zone talking about other sports when the running joke on her FS podcast is how litter she watches the sport she's best known for 😂

Here we are, it's the opening ceremonies Mariah looks... pissed that she had to open for giant puppetheads??? (this is the thread)

I'm awake and watching the figure skating at the Olympics (This is the thread)

Hear me out: Next year's RD theme should be "Yacht Rock," because the YR guys made a list of what is/isn't in the genre. The ISU should limit skaters to those songs and clear the material on behalf of the skaters. Clearance issues solved.

LOL this is the rink I am competing in next week www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEqs...

This is a such a good piece on Alysa + what it takes to choreograph a program that it makes me mad all over again for all the people I know who got laid off at WaPo. We are worse off without their work. archive.is/VDrtX

Sometimes I wish they would call spin combos like they do jump combos, as in USp + LSp + CSp or whatever, because there's nothing more dispiriting than taking a V

Why are there like only 4 pringles in this can

I’ve been laid off by The Washington Post Serving as this newspaper’s pop music critic for the past 16-plus years has been my privilege, my joy Endless solidarity to my righteous colleagues, endless gratitude to our faithful readers

You know what Alysa Liu needs? A Sheertex sponsorship. That company needs to show off how indestructible their tights are with a bunch of figure skaters sliding around on knife boots

Re: comments elsewhere on here - I think I can safely say that anyone entering the newsletter game is not doing it for cash, but because their topic of choice is deserving of coverage. If I had $20 anytime someone said Sound Advice tipped them off to something great, I'd have a solid PT gig

Hear me out, Maddie Schizas looks like Deanna. We could sub her in.
