That's right

Y'know, the judging of that event was total bullshit *except* for the top three, basically Ilia should arguably have had a couple points less PCS, but overall the top three are about where they should be

Noooooo Yuma nooooo

I kind of thought both of the first two jumps might've been tight on the landing 🤷‍♂️ That was silly, though

Wowwwwww, behind Grassl???

Now THAT is Adam Siao Him Fa

idk i think in a time when it feels like nothing matters & all is futile it might actually be time to double down and write your stories & make your paintings & sing your songs & do your art. create the things that make us human and share them.

"Shun Sato, known more as a jumper than as an artistic skater" Johnny what'chu talkin' 'bout

Lol did Johnny just say the judges have been very consistent??? I mean I guess that's true, they're giving everybody the same PCS regardless of how they skated

Kevin's such a funny skater lol, he's not actually very good at the like, more technical elements of artistic figure skating, footwork, transitions, program composition, that sort of thing But he's genuinely elite at the pure performance side??

This, btw, is argument from constitutional ethos (from Goldman)

They're gonna put Grassl ahead of Jun and it's going to be Such Bullshit

Restore patience as a civic virtue Democratic action is slow not because it is weak but because it is designed to outlast moods — including righteous ones Authoritarian movements move fast because they burn fuel they don’t intend to replenish: trust, restraint, legitimacy

le'z go Matteo

lmao they gave Deniss just 40.10 PCS, what an absolute joke sport

For those of you who don't know, Jun's skate deserved more like a 96-98 than the 92 it just got

JUNHWAN CHA REMEMBERED THAT HE KNOWS HOW TO DO A TRIPLE AXEL

I covered this, by the way, in Level One of Constitutional Perspectives: eveningconstitutional.net/slavery-part...

Johnny Weir saying that the progression of the quad revolution was Boyang Jin to Nathan Chen to Ilia Malinin will never not be funny

Okay Boyang, let's rock this

Johnny Weir: well he has a beautiful quad lutz... *that happens*

If they don't put Marsak ahead of that Russian skater, it means IOC supports Putin. I don't make the rules

Donovan skated his heart out, as always. That disaster on the 3A will probably cost him the free skate though...

You just can't do a Minions program at the Olympics and not basically fall on your ass all the time

Hell yeah Max Naumov

THE NIGHT MANAGER (2016)

Yooooo it's an actual, non-stupid Tenth Amendment argument, you almost never see one of those!!

So uhhh, "panican" is meant to be... panic + Republican??

Pitchers and catchers report on Wednesday (Well, for the Mets, anyway. Looks like a few teams do it on Tuesday)

So, the Seahawks basically stopped playing hard on defense at some point, yeah?

These Super Bowl AI ads are an immensely bearish sign for the industry, right? Like, a few years ago it was all NFTs... I guess we're on year two (at least?) of all the Super Bowl ads being for AI, so maybe that's something?

Macbeth: SHIT

What's so funny about this is that the ENTIRE DIDACTIC POINT of the show was "this, too, is America"

Can't actually understand any of the lyrics because I am a troglodyte who does not speak Spanish, but, just the staging of this seems kind of insane???

I will watch the Super Bowl but you can't make me unmute the commercials

Jeeeeez, the crowd at TPC Scottsdale interrupts Hideki Matsuyama twice, once on the 72nd green, once on the tee of the playoff hole, and it probably cost him the tournament. Absolutely outrageous

It doesn't matter if you're a Jew or an Arab or a Turk or an Anglo-American or a German, you're in fact capable of doing every single thing under the sun, and especially so if you feel that you have impunity. Impunity is the operative mechanism here. It emboldens every single conceivable act.

Only explanation I can come up with for this is that he was indexing on literal facial expression. Shun is very stoic, Ilia was demonstrative. But, you know, there's also things like FOOTWORK

Welcome to figure skating!

Lol is Johnny seriously saying he thinks Ilia was ahead ARTISTICALLY????????

STEP SEQUENCE 2 ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????

You know I'm not sure Shun can't do 200 points, actually

THE ONLY TRUE WISDOM IS IN KNOWING YOU. KNOW. NOTHING.

That 3F+3A from Gogolev was cool

Skate of Matteo Rizzo's life right there, let's GO

Lol Egadze barely beat Kaori's score (Flat-out didn't beat it if you scaled the components the same)

Egads!

Ilia somehow found himself a really nice costume for this program and then the program itself is literally him Socratesposting in spoken word

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Kaori is so good

Okay, okay, if Amber can get her Olympic nerves out of the way and it doesn't really matter (b/c we're still essentially a lock to win the team medal) then that's good maybe??
