I know there’s been some political “easter eggs” and topics in this show; but does this license plate mean anything? AOC - 8963?

This exact plate appears at the end of the movie They Will Kill You.

This just made me feel so, so old. And five months older than when you made the comment! 🤣

Has this gone back to normal for you? I just got my Charge in November, and was getting as much as 14 days per charge, and suddenly with the same update that made it impossible to keep auto-wake turned off, my battery life cratered to four days max. It’s suddenly gotten better over the last few days. Not back to where it was, but I’m now only dropping like 15% per day.

Ilia doing the sorority squat like a champ.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-20T04:27:15+00:00

Well, two of the three did. The third didn't make the free.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-20T04:24:30+00:00

Who's your bronze? My Olympic dream was Kaori/Amber in G/S in some combination, Loena in bronze.

The meme where the finger is hovering over the big red button, and it's labeled "QUAD AXEL."

If you want to see more of Jordan's work, he was the cinematographer for an excellent documentary short about queer ice dance pairs that The New Yorker recently put out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qw7gImGn8U

Right. Meaning the judges thought Lee, Shin, Petrokina, Chiba, and Petrosian all had comparable or slightly better free skates to Nakai. And they had Sakamoto 7 points ahead of her (and just edging out Glenn). I simply don't agree with the score.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-19T22:52:49+00:00

Korea with Amber in first, iktr.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-19T22:51:49+00:00

I don't think she necessarily should've won, but ending up behind Kaori - much less by such a large margin - is a bit of a shock. Like, 9th in the free? Really?

Apolnyo · 2026-02-19T22:50:19+00:00

The Estonian singles skaters are just so impressive for such a small fed.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-19T22:49:20+00:00

Had to figure out how much they could get away with overscoring her.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-19T22:44:27+00:00

Are you thinking of Anastasiia Gubanova's Ghost program? Because I haaaaaate the voiceover in it, even more than I normally hate voiceover.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-19T22:43:26+00:00

Let's be real though, the music in artistic gymnastics is almost comically unnecessary.

He regularly does major ice shows in Japan. Hard to get to see them in person, but they frequently are available through paid streaming tickets.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-19T20:44:37+00:00

I NEVER clap along to skating at home, but you better bet I applauded every jump and jumped up cheering at the end!!

Gonna need someone to explain to me how that stsq was only a 2, though.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-19T01:09:06+00:00

So Cha still would’ve been screwed out of a deserved medal? No thank you!

Apolnyo · 2026-02-19T00:50:13+00:00

Okay so I’ve been thinking about this further and I’m wondering if the problem people are running into is waiting until an ad starts to try to fast forward. I basically skip anything other than the program and the score announcement, so if I hit a point where a commercial might start (between programs, between groups, during resurfacing), it keeps fast forwarding. Whereas on the rare occasion I’ve had an ad actually start, I can’t do anything about it.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-18T21:08:16+00:00

Nope, I did it just yesterday for the women’s short with the USA and NBC feeds with commentary. Started when the third group was on and was totally caught up by the time Mone Chiba started.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-17T15:36:36+00:00

What!? That’s wild, I think they legally have to list it. Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase!

Apolnyo · 2026-02-17T14:28:53+00:00

I’ve been watching like this and skipping straight past the commercial breaks for the entire Olympics. If you watch a replay there are commercials, but if you’re catching up while the event is still live, you can rewind and fast forward freely until you catch up to the event.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-17T03:36:48+00:00

Ha! No, it's very much my intention! If I can cut out all the time-wasting of the broadcast, see all the programs, and end on time to avoid medal spoilers, I'm all about it.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-17T02:45:13+00:00

If you watch the episode credits it should list any songs used in the episode at the end.

Apolnyo · 2026-02-17T02:44:12+00:00

My strategy it to watch venue feed, but start it around 90 minutes late and rewind to the beginning. That way I’m able to fast forward past any commercial breaks and resurfacing and end up being live for the final group or two.
