i am aglow from bad bunny’s halftime show. as a scholar of puerto rican collective memory, it was beyond thrilling to see a global cultural juggernaut deploy semiotics of puertorriqueñidad towards redeeming US political culture. of course, celebrating latino joy was also glorious. i’m starstuck.

Dead Four Year Figure Skating Fans,
When you act like backflips were banned because Surya could do one you do two things. First, you sound dumb since they were banned when she was three. Second, you discount her reason for doing it which was as a protest. Don’t do that, she deserves better.

Looked at the protocols between Ilia and Shun - Ilia's non-jumping elements had higher levels than Shun's. Even with non-perfect jumps from Ilia, he did 5 quads vs. 3 quads.
Sometimes the cleaner skate just doesn't generate the most points.

A diagram differentiating the six different figure skating jumps.
i made an actually useful “how to tell apart figure skating jumps” diagram because normal people have no idea what an inside landing edge is

For that purpose, is a discipline “men’s” or “men’s free”?

What’s the tiebreaker? I know we can’t tie Japan but I think Italy and Georgia could tie, right?

This is the team event, so either your whole country’s team gets in or none. The five teams that qualified for the free are the U.S., Japan, Italy, Canada, and Georgia. France missed by a point. But the French ice dancers will still compete in the separate ice dancing competition. Does that help?

it's so embarrassing to make them un-storm the court so you can have a final shot and not take a shot

A few weeks ago I went to my nephew’s hockey game in Reston, which is where Ilia trains (and also where I used to hang out in middle school), and they have all kinds of stuff up about him. It was pretty cool.

Man I really hope he just crushes the next three. And I hope doing so tomorrow helps settle his nerves for the individual competition.

Surya did that backflip BECAUSE it was illegal. It was a huge fuck-you to the judges. Don't take that away from her. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
