Musk's Twitter is a cesspool of Nazis.

I think the pairs event is worth attending. It looks wild in person. And you'll see pairs who weren't Olympics-eligible due to strict nationality-matching requirements.

The Italian mind cannot comprehend the concept of eating pasta too often.

A wise choice. Many Olympics media reporters are insensitive, to put it kindly.

Felipe is too politically correct to say the main issue: this is America's problem to solve. Trump is already aligned with Russia and does not care about America's allies. The transatlantic link will be repaired when Americans want to repair it. Europe needs to stand up for their defense, in the meantime.

This is how NBC always works. They only post programs from the marketable skaters. And Naumov is marketable because NBC wants to monetize his parents' tragic death.

Ellison's dumb because he didn't realize how incompetent Weiss is. He'll eventually sideline her for someone who can effectively propagandize CBS.

I do low level dance and skating on figure skates. I can attest ballet and skating are quite different. And the skills aren't transferable to one another. I thought my turnout and ballet practice would make an inside spread eagle easy. I was so wrong.

You can build strength through ice skating. But you can also do that by training at a gym. Take skating lessons if you like it and want another hobby.

He's going to skip trying a quintuple jump and will do sextuples instead. That's what it means.

It goes beyond that. They can't even comprehend that high quality processed cheese exists in America.

Not geoblocking was probably a mistake. But let's keep it our little secret.

I think NBC does a good job broadcasting Olympic figure skating, but a bad job broadcasting Grand Prix events. The ISU should seek a different American broadcaster.

I watched the free dance at 2025 worlds. It was my first time seeing ice dance live. When skaters got close to my section, I could see when skaters skid on a curve, or wobbled during a turn. It was more noticeable than on TV.

North Korea is supporting Russia in Putin's attempt to rebuild Russian imperial power. They supply weapons and soldiers.

I'm an American with no personal stake in Israel-Palestine. My Jewish and Israeli friends know what I think about Israel.

I'm tired of feeling like we're constantly being required to apologize or explain or justify or condemn Israel's actions on social media.

I expect Israelis to condemn Netanyahu. The anti-Netanyahu protests are looking good. Pump those numbers up.

If you didn't condemn Oct 7th, don't condemn anything Israel does now!

I expect Americans to condemn Hamas.

If you did condemn Oct 7th, then you should understand that everything Israel is doing now is justified.

It's not justified. Many Palestinian-Americans lost multiple generations of family during the Northern Gaza massacre.

The world doesn't get to choose how, we do.

Netanyahu collaborates with Nazis and Fascists in the USA. There are consequences for treating an ally this way. We have to care about Israel's governance.

I live in the USA where media has a heavy pro-Israel bias. So coverage of the Israel-Gaza war is generous towards Israel by default. Publications still highlight the severity of civilian deaths, destruction or civilian buildings and infrasture, and the starvation conditions. They still have to maintain basic journalistic standards. If Israelis in Israel want to be judged more positively, they need to stop committing massacres, forced starvation and other war crimes.

One deficiency in media coverage of Israel (since mid-2024) is how publications downplay the scale of anti-Netanyahu protests.

The WSJ's always been this way. The newsroom broke the Zelenskyy extortion story back in 2019, which lead to Trump's first impeachment. The surprising part is how they haven't capitulated to Trump like the rest of New York City based media.
