Another tally on the “John Chu was the wrong choice for In the Heights” grudge sheet I’ve been holding onto since 2021. The direction, staging, and camera work of this halftime show needs to be awarded.

Okay so that was 100% more Lady Gaga than I was expecting.

Well I hated the “be nice to your racist white neighbor” commercial.

Shun and Kaori deserve a parade through the athlete villages tbh.

“This is going to come down to a kitten’s whisper.” I am stealing this from Johnny Weir.

The group chat asked for my Ilia opinions and frankly that was the only appropriate place to put them.

I refuse to shed a tear for Italy, but that performance and his reaction after were undeniable.

Tuberitze looking normal and approachable as usual.

If you don’t love Team Japan, there is something wrong with you. #MilanoCortina2026 #FigureSkating

The US didn't squander a lead—the fascist vermin of this country sent death threats to the first our queer skater Don't get it twisted Christine

My new theory is that Lindsey Vonn just loves helicopter rides.

Of course it all comes down to the men. For everything. No pressure! #figureskating #MilanoCortina2026

U.S. Olympic athletes in Italy are speaking out about the political situation at home

Kaori got me crying in the club.

I have not watched Pairs yet so idk what alls gone on over there, thus Schizas is the first fall I’ve seen so far. Really impressive.

We made it through the women’s and men’s shorts with NO FALLS! #MilanoCortina2026

Yuma!!!!!!! And by TEN points?! His is just… *such* a better short program and I’m glad we’re talking about it.

🚨🚨Kevin Aymoz has skated a clean Olympic short program 🚨🚨

The biggest fight / longest temper tantrum I ever had with a childhood coach was not being allowed to skate to a Big Willie Style medley. So do I resent this Lim/Quan rhythm dance? Just a lil’ bit.

We will be taking a Black History Month mulligan in March

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

The opening ceremonies b-roll and music have a very Eurovision feel, to the point where I’m assuming there some production crossover?

Javier Baez suspended for being cool

Yeah, this thread just... bsky.app/profile/itst...

Anyone else remember the ANTM copycat show The Face, circa 2012ish? I used to love The Face. It gave us the iconic line read, "Check your lipstick before you come talk to me!" Also, it was EP'd and judged by Naomi Campbell. The same Naomi Campbell whose name is riddled across the Epstein Files.

I am not an elite athlete so I am trying not to judge and/or giggle too much, but this Lindsey Vonn ACL situation is absolutely sending me.

For Liam.

The Testament of Ann Lee so badly wants to be my new writing music, but when we get down to it she be screaming too much.

Hello, Bluesky. Please watch this Olivia/Fitz Scandal themed pairs skating team.

good morning it is almost the end of the month if you can help some minnesotans pay rent it is a great day to do so

Today is the release of my last issue of Miles Morales: Spider-Man. Lotta emotions to process, but the one at the top of the list is gratitude; I have a blessed life! thanks to all the fans for the years support! And thanks to Marvel for letting us tell the story we wanted to tell! xoxo Spider-Zig

This was instantly helpful and I have already donated to 3 places via ApplePay while sitting on my couch watching reruns of the Steve Harvey Show. Consider utilizing this if you’re also overwhelmed.

waiting til the week of your album release to issue an 'apology,' and in the Wall Street Journal of all places, is so disrespectful and transparent like are you even trying? this town deserves a better class of criminal!

Think whatever you want about this, but I really want to flag that last week’s Higher Learning pod had a segment about almost *exactly* this after Teyana was asked about Kanye on a red carpet. Worth running back a listen.

Husband sent me the video of T.I. reacting to our baby and I am still giggling.

My husband has been at Sundance all week and that’s why I’ve been solo parenting. Earlier I sent him a video of the kiddo jamming out to the new TI single. Husband ran into TI at an event literally an hour ago, showed him the footage and sent me a delighted TI response in return. I needed that.

the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I have watched the video of today’s murder several times and I am here to assure you that there were several agents restraining the victim when he was shot, and there is no way they were worried he was going to shoot one. Even if he had a gun, and I think that’s not true, he was not free to use it.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

I am inside with an almost toddler just trying to disassociate while also being somewhat present for him, but would also appreciate some direction as to where I can send a little money on the ground in Minneapolis because that is kind of all I can do in this moment of abject horror.

Stormy Weather + Cabin in the Sky + Idlewild: The Musical Fantasies of All Black Spaces three pack WHEN?????

Promised my kid (me) that we can watch Homecoming for his 11 month birthday (in opposition of my current depression spiral) this weekend!

My favorite work of hers is in Dolemite is My Name, because there was so much love and respect in those costumes. She turned '70s pimpwear into impeccable haute couture

Spike Lee, John Singleton, and Ryan Coogler. I have my critiques of the first two, but I will also never forget or fail to mention the way they’ve all collaborated with and lifted Ruth Carter up. She’s now the most nominated Black woman of all time

To be clear to the voting members: We are done with the “it’s an honor just to be nominated” ish. SINNERS must now *win* some of these sixteen awards, and in some of the major categories too.

Anyway what’s amazing is that it’s a vampire movie but the real monster is the inescapable labyrinth of the Jim Crow economy. www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...
