When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

Every New York Times column & Atlantic thinkpiece, every Guardian broadside led us here. Jesse Singal and Ben Ryan and all the others "just asking questions" led us here.

Every bit of coverage that's treated us as suspicious outsiders and punching bags helped speed this day.

You are responsible.

Wow! Weird how this KEEPS HAPPENING with Jesse Singal!

The town better throw her a parade when she gets back. A real one.

This is absolutely accurate.

Alysa Liu’s Olympic run came with terms. Her choreographer helps her express them Liu is the best U.S. hope for an Olympic medal in women's figure skating, which would be the country's first in the competition since 2006.

“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”
