Especially as Canadians after 2014, where the narrative was strongly that the judges had just decided White/Davis were going to win regardless of performance.

And only because of a wardrobe malfunction!

I'm pleased to unveil my new weekly newsletter: Remastered! Inspired by my Save State column for Digital Trends, Remastered is all about how video game history and retro games impact what we play today. It'll feature editorials, interviews, and reviews on that subject authored by me. It's also free!

The medal really belongs to both sets of pair skaters, in that case.

The way my gasp echoed in this completely empty theater when that twizzle went awry… #Olympics

Terry Gannon made a valiant effort to try to capture the dueling controversies around Cizeron and Fournier-Beaudry and then pitched it to the color commentators who…ignored it and just talked about their rapid ascension, of course. #Olympics

We come to this place for a private theater experience of the Free Dance for $0.

When he interrupted the post-semis interview to reinforce that Corey would be the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic medal in curling?

Really solidified it.

(Has your algorithm transitioned you to the cello-playing guy on the men's team?)

Putting him next to Snoop Dogg forced their hand. (The video package with the bleached hair also told this story).

Yeah, it's a game of margins, but the percentages told a clear story. But a reminder that it comes down to one shot: if they had hit that triple early? Or left that yellow buried on her last?

Look, I was nominally rooting for the Americans in Mixed Doubles Curling, but it's very important for new fans of the sport to live on the razor's edge of tiny margins that separate winning and losing, y'know? They had two chances in that 8th and neither worked out for them. #Olympics

Seeing this earlier was such an attack.

If you need an additional layer to this Mixed Doubles curling final, USA coach Cathy Overton-Clapham (who is Canadian, naturally) was infamously fired and replaced with a younger curler on Jennifer Jones’ team four years before they won Olympic gold.

Those Disney days are gonna be looked back on as halcyon. The last gasp of what once was.

NBC's commentators chatting casually through the Italians' ice dance and then staying stone silent for the Americans...like, I'm not SURPRISED. But still. #Olympics

The only reason I somewhat resented the lack of English during the halftime show is that it naturally leads a room of non-Spanish speakers to talk more during an event that should be enjoyed in reverent silence (myself included, to be clear, I was part of the problem).

Apparently these friends didn’t know I had vocals. Lesson learned.

100%. (We were singing waiting for the shoe to drop).

I didn’t realize Chappell Roan’s viral squinting at the prompter at the #Grammys came after she squinted through Cyndi Lauper’s Hall of Fame speech and explicitly said she shouldn’t have refused to get contacts.

Get off Fortnite and see an Optometrist, Chappell!

There are few things harder for me to watch than Canadians sucking at curling in international competition. It's not that I'm angry at them; I just hate to see anyone with that much pressure wilting like this. #Olympics

My cynicism about Disney’s stewardship is really my sticking point here. They aren’t interested in the logics that brought us Rita Moreno, brilliant as they might have been.

I get that the Muppets don’t work on image-based platforms, but I still feel like Elmo shouldn’t still be posting at The Other Place, y’know?

(I had to explain this to my BF, who is too offline.)

I would say that the failure of The Muppets (2015) has killed the idea of adult-oriented Muppet projects. The nostalgia is for adults; the actual content is definitely “all ages.”

Making innuendo jokes within a framework where an audience of kids would know her and her music and her Disney sitcom is one thing.

I feel like Connor’s out on the grounds that they could not explain what he’s famous for without creating some very confused children. (Brunson will absolutely be in the first batch).

I’ve seen enough. Question now is cadence. My vote is monthly.

Spam? Promotions? Mine end up there sometime.

That's still a LOT of ad revenue YouTube is losing out on in the interim.

A change to YouTube’s inclusion on the U.S. Billboard charts YouTube data will no longer factor into U.S. Billboard charts starting January 15, 2026. This change follows discussions regarding how Billboard weights subscription versus ad-supported streams. You c...

I'm curious if/when YouTube caves on their inclusion in the Billboard calculus if Swift-level artists are going to paywall their music videos on Spotify/Apple for maximum chart impact.
