While everyone is still thinking about men’s skating, here’s the best short program of the year that unfortunately wasn’t at the Olympics. Kazuki Tomono’s That’s It (I’m Crazy!) is a masterpiece of fun and artistry. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

Have we considered unplugging the figure skating and plugging it back in????

Maybe the real winners today were the 5 men who didn't qualify. And the people who have never heard of figure skating.

Final group tonight LOCO LOCO LOCO Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhh The Pope is dead Renaissance man VINCERRRRRRRRRRO You are something but not nothing bit.ly/45JzQJH #MilanoCortina2026

All of us getting ready for an Olympic men’s free skate on Friday the 13th #MilanoCortina2026

Olympic athletes retiring at 28 while a slippery shower is a direct threat to 1/3 of the U.S. legislative body.

We saw you from across the bar and we've decided you must die

queer skaters are opening up about the hate and death threats they receive for being queer and there are still people trying to be like "you are here for sports don't talk about anything but sports" please go bump into a wasp nest

Here is the Czech pair dancing to their AI rip-off of You Get What You Give, replaced for the Olympics by an AI song with “original” lyrics that sounds pretty much the same

Don’t get invested in ice dance, kids.

Both of the medals (both gold) won by the USA in the Winter Olympics so far have been won by or with queer athletes: Breezy Johnson on women's downhill, and Amber Glenn on Team Figure Skating #Olympics #lgbtq

Amber Glenn, a queer Texan who started ice skating at the stonebriar mall in frisco at age 5, who plays magic the gathering, is an olympic gold medalist

Here comes the Jaws skating program to eat the 4 year fans

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: #figureskating #MilanoCortina2026

i do think its good that we have a figure skater on team usa that resembles the vampire lestat

Most Heated Rivalry coverage has been focused on what young people, particularly younger straight women, think. I cover aging and decided to ask older gay men about their thoughts. I found: A founder of what may have been the first gay hockey blog, a wedding cake shaped like a Zamboni and more.

Now is the perfect time to become an unhinged figure skating fan. It starts with watching the Olympics, then before you know it you’re planning your travel around NQS events and waking up at 2am to watch JGPs and you have strong opinions about operas you’ve never seen.

Here's your handy guide to the difference between figure skating disciplines: Pairs: Yeet the Girl Ice Dance: Presenting the Girl Men: I'm Not That Girl Women: I'm That Girl #MilanoCortina2026

The Milano Cortina Olympic organizers offered potted plants 🪴 to the athletes staying at the Olympic Village, and Canadian figure skater Madeline Schizas received a plant named Ilya Rozanov! 😀 She said that somebody else grabbed the Shane Hollander one. #HeatedRivalry #IlyaRozanov #ShaneHollander

Days before the Olympics kick off, Spanish figure skater Tomàs-Llorenç Guarino Sabaté announced that he wouldn’t be allowed to perform his very fun Minions-inspired routine.

skaters will not have this problem should they choose to skate with the universally beloved music of the Mountain Goats

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

Apparently I'm going to Warped Tour for the first time since 2008. In memory of that first time, here is a photo I took back then of an ad for The Cab's first album displayed on a bank of portable toilets

Out today: Texas Democrats have been attempting the inverse maneuver for a generation: trying to win elections without taking into account the eroded civic foundations of the state. Zohran Mamdani's victory points at another way forward.

while Pretti's GFM surpassed $1mil, please don't forget Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, killed by ICE in Chicagoland last September. They haven't even reached their goal yet. www.gofundme.com/f/silverio-v... (gonna be obnoxious & tag @chucktingle.bsky.social @marthawells.com @tkingfisher.com)

Sometimes your mood booster amidst the horrors is a cup of tea and a hot bath and sometimes it's Gerard Way disembowling someone and that's valid

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

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.

FUCK NBC

Do not patronize these companies. There are still local, family owned lumber and hardware stores many places and also ACE Hardware and True Value. HFH Restores also sell some building supplies.

Thank you Ilia Malinin and team for dialing back the content so we didn't end the night watching the national champion bite it too.

Me last night: Crying, screaming, throwing things (celebratory) Me right now: Crying, screaming, throwing things (enraged)

Happy for Max and my son Jacob but I can't get behind what the judges did to my boy to get there.

Yeah let's send him to the Olympics so he can finish 20th like he keeps doing at worlds

Katarina and Dima are dancing on the corpses of their former partners in this free dance, and I'm living for it.

Amber Glenn, the world is going to love you! Congratulations, National Champion! #PrevagenUSChamps

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

What a bunch of babes.

Damn I feel lucky to have been here for those last 6 women

The three time US World Champion figure skater is a queer woman Put that in your pipe and smoke it America

stop what you're doing and let Amber Glenn take you to church #USPrevagenChamps #figureskating

Good evening, I am verklempt. Captured this one because I was confident it would be perfect. Couldn't have done the same with Amber because I was too busy losing my mind.
