Now I'm going to Zwift and listen to Daft Punk to try and scrub Unchained Melody out of my brain.

Real "On my way to steal your medals" energy. #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

Japan has 10 spots for women at the Olympics, right? #GPFigure

I guess it’s only fair.. ⛸️ #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Alysa is a good egg. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

How many times do I have to tap the sign? #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

Love that you could still hear Starr Andrews cheering "Yaaaay!" for her PB score on the K&C hot mic after they cut the camera away. #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

Real "On my way to steal your medals" energy. #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

I'm sorry but we have to re-start the entire Grand Prix series for Wakaba, it's the only sensible thing to do. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

I clicked on this, immediately wondered how long it would take for a Philip Roth, Martin Amis, or Norman Mailer reference to pop up and there were ALL THREE.

A vintage Michelle Kwan-inspired change of edge spiral sequence from Josephine Lee. This is heritage choreography! #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Josephine Lee, just like Oliva Flores, looks delighted to be here. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

I don't connect with Chock & Bates' performances, despite the fact they have objectively top-notch programs. Then I realized their programs are the equivalent of a fresh iPhone: beautifully engineered but after 18 slight variations on the same package it's hard to buy in. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

This goes double for their Björk program. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Neat. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

@lars.bsky.social looked up at the screen mid-way through Grassl's performance, saw the three red tech boxes in a row and declared, "The pope is dying." #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

There's a lot of focus on how technically complex it is to jump quads, but to transition between these spin positions, hit the lines, and maintain speed? Crazy difficult. This is years of technique and training right here. Gorgeous. Jason Brown is an incredible skater. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

"But doctor, I'm the OTHER Pagliacci!" (I'll see myself out now.) #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Whoever decided to mark the last minute of the warmups with more intense music is a sicko (complimentary). #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

"Scores are as fake as this cigarette." -Vladimir Litvintsev, probably #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

I'm catching up on the men's event and wow 17 minutes for Corey Circelli's scores?! #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Heading out for dinner, godspeed to the men. May this ice be free of flop sweats. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Really enjoy the attention to body position in Chaeyeon Kim step sequence. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Wakaba could skate to a chiptune cover of Mambo Number 5 and I'd probably still dig it, but this short program is wonderful. It feels like something right out of a 90s Stars on Ice tour and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

Me scrutinizing the Georgians' 64.37 PCS #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Multiple teams have suffered wonky lifts this season and I'm trying to hypothesize why. More injuries, limited training, Group 5 lift requirements extra challenging? Teams getting downgraded on levels is routine, blowing the entire element is not. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Yikes, another team with a missed lift. The Pair gods are not happy with this rink today. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Pairs is the most terrifying discipline. #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

Every time I hear a Ghost program: #NHK杯フィギュア #GPFigure #NHKTrophy

Flores & Wang just look so happy to be here and it's a shot of sunshine in my wizened heart. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

So many teams slept on using Daft Punk this season. It's 90s club music with taste, c'mon people! #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Quite frankly if Lopareva and Brissaud had skated to anything *other* than Eiffel 65 & Daft Punk I would have rioted. #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

Careirra & Ponomarenko brought top notch Euroclub energy to this competition. #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

Lajoie & Lagha went full Jock Jams for this RD and I can tell it's working because I have a sudden craving for Saddledome nitro beer and a bag of popcorn the size of a toddler. #GPFigure #SkateAmerica

In case anyone missed my original exposé about the plagiarized AI slop, here it is #GPFigure www.patreon.com/posts/mrazko...

Mrazkova and Mrazek are still skating to AI plagiarized slop, but a different section of the same fake song. I’ll study it more later to see what this part stole and write about it soon of course #GPFigure #SkateAmerica Thanks everyone for supporting my exposure of how bad this shit is

I *think* Mrazkova & Mrazek have changed the front half of this RD to a different music cut--but potentially just a different flavour of GenAI Clankertune. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Love Fradji/Forneaux's music choice (I'm surprised we aren't seeing more TLC programs, tbh), but they're still negotiating the gap from Junior to Senior. It'll be fun to watch them develop over the next few seasons. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

If you’re not lip synching you’re not living. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Mikhail Shaidorov's porgram is a hot mess of a composition (Phil Colins and Kaleo??) but no one else is throwing down a quad lutz combos so YOLO. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

whatever. jason brown, lord of the riverdance, does not need your stupid toeloops. he has the irish gods on his side #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Jason Brown showing everyone how you actually do a Riverdance program. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

I would line up in a storm for Club Clean Kazuki. #skateAmerica #GPFigure

Interrupting the figure skating posts to show off my freshly framed *and signed* Sigur Rós show poster from Wednesday’s Vancouver gig! The 19 year wait to see the band was worth it!

I love how even the rink-side volunteers are going bananas for Jason Brown AS IS CORRECT. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

I love the finger guns! #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Tatsuya Tsuboi strikes me as a very polite skater: everything is very tidy and nice, but I look forward to the moment he busts out. Good comeback from that opening fall. #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Tatsuya Tsuboi has a floppy skate lace and it's making me *nervous* #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

This is never irrelevant in a men's event #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Miura & Kihara and their towering triple twist... #SkateAmerica #GPFigure
