i was visiting my sister in france for the holidays but i juuust got back to the US like a couple hours ago. lucky me...

actually kinda got in an argument with someone about lrp recently because she (not american) was like telling me that the american healthcare system is trash and everyone else in the world is horrified by it and i was just like, do you think you're telling me something i don't know??? i live there!

I think it’s important for all the non Americans out there to know that Americans also hate America

You know what gets me the most about the attack on Venezuela? How everybody’s gonna pretend that this is all just normal and something that we can discuss freely on the Sunday shows, and that congressmen will give spirited speeches about to an empty house floor. It’s insulting to my intelligence

and that, i think we can all agree, at long last, after this long duodecade of premature optimism and false alarms, was the year of luigi

here are pieces i made in 2025: just kidding there were none. why?????????? i love doing this!!! wtf @ me.....

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

gave me CHILLS when they said on the runthrough that adeliia's entire olympics will come down to whether she nails her opening 3A in the short

my big achievement in 2025 was getting into the best shape* of my LIFE and then totally getting out of it again 🥲 but i swear we are re-entering the jock era just as soon as my personal life settles down and i can have a routine again

i do this thing now where when someone recommends me a book i just get my phone out and place a libby hold immediately. i like doing this because i get to read good books AND i find that taking people's recs seriously & following through strengthens your relationship w that person

i really think ami nakai is going to be on the olympic podium, and that is the only prediction i feel comfortable making about the women's figure skating event

It would have been so funny if this had happened with One Direction

whenever my 10yo niece tells me about a book she's reading she'll say "AND it's queer" so happily 🥺🥺🥹🥹🥹

predicting sofia samodelkina in the GPF next year

wait i love that mark hanretty said amber is his prediction for olympic champion 🥺 i love you mark

it's really frustrating how easy it is for figure skating videos to go viral and people love watching them but the powers that be (ISU / USFS / NBC) are totally incompetent at capitalizing on it and actually promoting the fucking sport

With this happening please make sure to go into your language settings and remove all of the options under "Content Languages" so you can actually see posts other than those in your primary language

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between

i was like "you know this is like the only two weeks this season when there's no figure skating competitions" and my sister was like "ohh THAT'S why you came to visit now"

You know what no one had to do with any of those things? Force me to use them. Put them in stuff where I didn't want them. Tell me over and over "you may not like it, but it's here to stay". I was excited. I sought them out. That's WHY they were world changing.

it's crazy to me how the axel was the first jump invented and it's still undeniably the best and most iconic jump. nailed it on the first try...

especially after watching jnats, i just don't understand how you could look at the current women's field and say that the sport has suffered from banning the russians. unless you literally ONLY care about base value, in which case... we have nothing to say to each other about figure skating lol

catching up on the women's free, gosh mako yamashita's FS was absolutely stunning!! that outside edge spread eagle! i loved it!! #JNats

Remember: Type out "Trump" and put a space at the end.

skating is a sport for adrenaline junkies i think "oh you mean because it's dangerous" no watching it

i shouldn't have even watched #JNats 😭😭😭😭 seeing yuma break down like that was absolutely brutal

listening to the latest @ifbookspod.bsky.social and I had to pause twice to get through the 1-minute clip of elon trying to tell a joke

I do want to clarify that, while there is absolutely no question that this change is catastrophic, immunization requirements are set by states and AHIP has previously committed to covering vaccines recommended until the current ACIP recommendations through the end of 2026.

oh my god

i just want to say that i love love love ami nakai. what a SUPERSTAR

Ideally the dumbest person in America and the President would be two different people

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

oh my god i fucking thought this was saki miyake for a minute (because she does have a 3A) and was like SAKI HAS A QUAD SAL????????? no it was sena miyake. that makes a lot more sense.

anyway i think i'll delete bsky temporarily again so i don't get spoiled for jnats because i AM going to try to watch it if i have time (and if i can remember my fujitv login...)

i keep thinking about how i stopped following figure skating from 2019-2022 and i actually met a lot of new people in that time period, so there are so many people who got to know me thinking i was just a normal person only to find out that i'm a trojan horse full of figure skating opinions 😔

they're doing hunger games

I take it all back we should absolutely let AI run the vending machines

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

Over 20 million Americans are about to see their health insurance rates skyrocket. Instead of addressing that, the House GOP is going home for the holidays. Just so happens they won't be in town to answer tough questions about the Epstein files, either.

i saw an edit of ilia malinin with clips from the runthrough and a lot of people in the comments didn't know it was a podcast and thought it was official commentary 💀

i would rather not make anything ever again than use generative ai for writing a first draft or generating ideas or whatever. i would rather die basically

i went back to the ice in march so i actually haven't experienced december at this rink before and it's been an absolute nightmare. do children just not go to school in december??

speaking of the runthrough i feel like they are addressing me in this week's episode because i am the skater who's scared to skate freestyle sessions 😔 and never did even back in college when I actually had jumps... i've just always lived in areas where the public sessions are really empty

what are the podcasts you'll immediately run to listen to when they have a new episode out? i subscribe to a lot but most are just like, eh I'll listen to these if i have time. the ones i listen to right away are the runthrough, if books could kill and was i in a cult

alysa liu dropping video of her landing a 3A on the tonight show is insane

America, you've spoken loud and clear: you do not like being stabbed in the dick with an ice pick. But what if stabbing yourself in the dick with an ice pick is the only way to fight, idk, climate change or whatever?
