It’s really too bad that they didn’t choose “death in my soul” as the new slogan.;) ETA: other options include “Sekrets and Blocs” and “Enter the Voids”

Interesting that Weaver says in the article that "the move to decade themes was in the spirit of opening gender roles in ice dance, encouraging more individual movement" - personally I'd love to see RDs based on some of the more traditional rhythms that don't confirm to rigid gender roles.

I'm wondering (hoping?) if SC will find their own "technicality" to avoid accrediting him as a coach.

I was afraid that the jurisdiction thing would come into play. This is so awful.

Memo to Shawn: if you have to try to be "hip and cool," you will end up being very unhip and uncool.

My other half is just not getting the fabulousness that is the Eurovision Song Contest:drama:

My Ukrainian Canadian other half couldn’t even listen to the whole thing. The Star Fleet pink division costume had a certain je ne said quoi, however.;)

The trial of the former Canadian junior hockey players is now judge only - due to possible problematic behaviour by some defence lawyers towards a couple of jurors.

And a world silver medal. Osmond was Canada's first women's world champion in 45 years and only our 3rd overall - Barbara Ann Scott and Karen Magnussen were the other 2. We knitting needle-holding, standing ovation-giving, maple syrup-drinking Canucks definitely know who Kaetlyn Osmond is and...

Too late now, but I really wish that the ISU didn't have three "decades" RDs in a row. It seems so short-sighted and uncreative, not to mention it tends to also favour some teams over others, year after year. I liked the good old days when some teams shined at Latin dances and others shined at...

I've had to dump someone for criminal behaviour, but so did all of my extended friend group, so that was a heck of a lot easier. After it all went down, I realized how we were all manipulated and charmed by said person (in very different ways). But also people who do bad things can also do...

I wouldn't bet on the ISU being that clever or proactive.

Someone who knows more about the legalities around copyright and AI as well as the actual technicalities of AI music generation itself would need to chime in. But AI might be capable of generating music that sounds exactly like a Nirvana tune AND of generating lyrics that resemble grunge ones...
