In past seasons I had a feeling of "almost, but not quite" while watching their programs. This season, however, that feeling is GONE! Their material is really good in both programs, they're executing it well, and for once I can't even complain about their styling (at least in the FD 😉). I think...

Bought tickets for Anaheim! It's been well over 10 years since I've been to a SOI show. I went to a few shows in its late 90s/early 00s peak era, then was greatly disappointed by the two early '10s shows I went to and stopped. But a friend texted me about going and I figure I'll give it another...

My kids were so disappointed that there weren't additional VOs after "The Pope is dead," which made us all dissolve into giggles. I don't think that was the intended effect. 😂 We debated whether the shirt being ripped open signified the dead Pope ascending to heaven, Daniel as the white smoke...

A generic sponcon IG post today from Maia with comments turned off ... they're never going to address that video.

Dang it! Why didn't Yerba Buena and San Mateo have cool ice shows back when I skated up there!

I haven't finished the latest episode yet, but was nearly bawling on my way into work listening to the segment about Joannie Rochette's mom. I remember thinking how terrible it was at the time, but having lost my own parents since then, it brought a different perspective today. I cannot imagine...

I just finished listening to it this morning. I was going to message you to see if you listened and if you did how you're doing. I had to listen in portions and had too many deep sighs to count.

Well there's only 216 rooms and they're already unavailable for booking Jan 9-12, 2026.

"Am I The A$$hole" It's a popular thing on Reddit that sometimes crosses over to other platforms when there's a particularly wild one.

If it's real and she's high risk, it's possible to have multiple appts by 13 weeks. I was unfortunately in that boat. Even if it's fake, who is building an entire AITAH storyline around Skate America of all things? ?? I know it's the off-season but still. One of the responses I liked best...

Alright, 'fess up - who is this?!? ? "AITAH for not canceling my trip to see a figure skating competition though my wife might go into labor early?" (If you don't have Bluesky to see the full images, the gist is that a 27yo guy is whining that his pregnant wife with medical complications...

There's also the perception in those spaces, and it likely goes beyond just figure skating fans, that Alex treated his most public ex-girlfriend badly. On a lighter note, I'll always find it a little funny (and revealing) that they tagged themselves, but not any of the actual recipients, in...

I enjoyed the Shibs when they competed previously and am glad Maia's health is doing well, but this seems ..... unnecessary.

Considering Michelle's attire, it looks like getting on the ice was a spur of the moment decision for her.

A word about this -- post-renovation the seats are so tight. No one I talked to remembered it being so uncomfortable in 2016. Then I recalled that when I was first choosing my seats this time I saw some old maps where the row I was in ran seats 1-18. Post-reno that same row now runs seats 1-20...
