NAKAI OMG

ALYSA LIU GOLD
SAKAMOTO KAORI SILVER
NAKAMA AMI BRONZE

For years, I didn't focus on the Women but I'd been so invested in Alysa when she announced she was coming back. (I was on my way to an interview when I read that Alysa retired so a formative moment clearly) and I AM SO PROUD OF ALL THESE WOMEN

Did I pause an interview with an AI company for a few minutes because figure skating? YES I MF DID. Figure skating has been around for me since 2007, AI has not

I need to know who the AI agent provider is for Verizon because the customer service AI is so bad, I can only imagine it wasn't given enough context to train with

Men’s Free Skate: I am so shook.

But omg I hope Dennis Ten is looking down at Shaidorov so proudly tonight

My life lately has been a parade of OpenClaw, Heated Rivalry and explaining why the backflip is an uninteresting element that doesn't even add anything to step sequences, which, while my favorite part of any figure skating program, are still aesthetically inferior to spiral sequences

I kept all my figure skating nerditry on Threads only because people there are so loudly wrong about things

I care about three sports and three sports only. Figure Skating, Gymnastics and (what the entire world calls) Football. Two of those require a lot of remembering scoring sheets, elements and having to explain how it all works every four years. I simply don't have the brain power for any other sport

Since Yuzu retired and I’m not as invested in the skaters this go around, this might be the first Winter Olympics where I am not stressed out of my mind and I don’t feel like I’m about to have heart attack the moment skates hit the ice

Ah yes, the famous Italian singer Mariah Carey

There’s a Moka Pot mascot at the opening ceremonies

Right now I’m waiting for Roberto Bolle to suddenly make an appearance at the Opening Ceremony. I just feel like Italy has to send its best dancer out there you know

Donate to Washington Post 2026 layoff fund, organized by Rachel Siegel On Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026, The Washington Post laid off hundreds of journalists. We ar… Rachel Siegel needs your support for Washington Post 2026 layoff fund

If you are able, The Post's union has started a layoff fund for those fired by the world's fourth-richest man today. gofund.me/a310d0286

There are so many more important things going on in the world, especially in my beat, but I am more concerned about naming my new Wifi than anything else. I need a name that announces my geekiness but also makes my neighbors laugh. It's hard when you have nicher interests

Wasn’t Doorman a character Planet Money wanted to buy for their comic book project?

I am so tired. Everything is tiring

Please help our laid-off Vox Media colleagues, including those from The Verge. Yours truly will be helping maintain transparency on the fund and disbursement!

It is quite alarming just how fast my Instagram For You page changed to all Heated Rivalry all the time (I'm not complaining)

Also, remember you used to be a ballet dancer, balancing on one leg while typing out the DoorDash passcode for the Dasher who just brought you a new ankle compression sleeve should not be hard

Pro tip: If you think your step ladder is a little wobbly on your kitchen mat, fix it so that when you try and catch falling cans of tuna while grabbing maple syrup won't result in a sprained ankle

I've never been to CES, nor do I ever want to go to or cover CES ('cept for that one time I wrote a story saying bad AI took over it), but it is a good marker of time to shake you off the blur that was the holidays and remind you what day it is again

I'm one of those people who keep buying games but never quite finishing them, so now I've run out of space on my PS5, but I refuse to delete my WIP games. What's a good external SSD for PS5 that won't annoy me when I do want to play those games I stored on the hard drive????

Almost as if I’m a reporter covering AI companies and want transparency into claims about being open source and protecting data and privacy

Instacart scraps AI pricing tests that made some products more expensive Prices may still vary on a store-by-store basis, Instacart says.

Even ChatGPT is coming out with a "Spotify Wrapped" clone, with its Your Year with ChatGPT feature available on the iOS, Android and web apps

I need tech companies to remember that it's okay to circle back in January, she said writing her fifth embargoed story in three days instead of the year enders she expected to do

I found out Road to Empress is mostly a mobile game and now I am tempted to see if I can become an empress while on the subway

Either it's a sign of how I am turning 40 next year or how much I want to hibernate this winter, but I am most excited by the pajamas I bought on Black Friday sale than anything else I bought that just arrived. They are so comfy

I won't be at AWS re:Invent in person this year is a sentence I've written about 50 times in the past week. So yes, I'm not gonna be running around The Venetian, awake for 20 hours, between interviews and meetings this year. NGL, I kinda feel sad about it

Nothing quite like taking a bite of your first meal of the day, then getting hit with a surprise embargo lifting in an hour and a half. I just want to enjoy my popcorn chicken
