I see an upside down Afghan hound.

I got the impression they all had some objections to both proposed (getting rid of warmups? who the fuck asked for that) and enacted (seven to six jumping passes in the FS).

So You Want To Watch Figure Skating has a summary on it somewhere in here

Luckily there is plenty of crazy skating history to catch up on. C R A Z Y

He isn't angry in that photograph, he's hyped. Three seconds later he was bouncing around hugging the silver medalist.

Yeesh, that's rough for Fear/Gibson especially after Milan, but I'm stoked for Zingas/Kolesnik. Wonder how they'll manage the return of the pattern dance.

Much is made of his calling himself "quad god," but I think the main appeal of it for him is that it rhymes. He's just a dork with a superlative talent and the blessing-sometimes-curse of (inter)national attention.

The last group in both events skated super clean (except Adam ☹️). I think Hagara was the only one who went clean until Yuma.

None. No movies. Cuz I ain't a sissy. But this came the closest.

die peacefully, leaving the world they fucked up behind them. A world where they're defeated is more fantastic than wizards and superpowers. This is also why WW2/Hitler inspired media (LotR&HP) will remain popular, not just because it shouldn't be forgotten, but it also fits with that narrative.

will fix their brains, but that fails to take into account how the "big time bad guys getting away with it" is less a media trope that cynical audiences want to see and more just an unfortunately accurate representation of what's actually going on. In real life, Sauron and Voldemort stay rich and

I think the rise in a desire for Hays coded media is a reaction to real life, not anything in fiction. We want to cling to this idea that if people can watch American Psycho and Fight Club and get the exact wrong messages from them, that maybe showing them the opposite in way less ambiguous form

And by die, I mean all those people got murdered. Succession is the only one I can think of that fits, and it was already a kinda crazy poor person fantasy that even the lives of multibillionaires suck and won't save you from death and chaos, implicitly suggesting we shouldn't envy them their power.

Spoilers, I guess, but the anti hero protags of Breaking Bad and The Sopranos die. I gleaned that everyone in GoT was terrible and assume that at least one of those people was alive in the end, sure, but didn't most of them die, too? Maybe no one knew what the hell was going on at the end of Lost.

While the format of television allows for more characters generally and potentially a lot more time to suffuse them with moral complexity as opposed to film, even when the tv shows focus on anti-heroes as protagonists, eventually they still get some sort of ultimate comeuppance, don't they?

Over the same amount of time, there have been 4 tv shows with wide ranging cultural influence (saw my very first little girl named Khaleesi just the other day) that I think support the idea better. Those are The Sopranos, Lost, Breaking Bad, and Game of Thrones. Of those, I've only seen Breaking Bad

I don't watch much television or film, but from what I have seen, there is no recent trend of bad people getting away with it leaving a bunch of defeated heroes and jaded audiences. This century we've gotten LotR, Harry Potter, and the MCU, all very simple stories about Good Guys winning in the end.

This is about the money utilities would pay homeowners for the excess energy their systems produced. They reduced it by 75% for new installations a couple of years ago.

Don't forget we also got a dog.

They read it wrong, but can be forgiven. So can the original skeeter, since English is a ridiculouser language than most.

Even though the example doesn't follow, they have to mean a band/artist that starts with C, because "a song by a band/artist" doesn't reduce the category. They could have just written "a song," because every song is by a band or artist.

I bought this not actually very good movie just for the genuine terror of the first five minutes.

It's an approximation of this photo. I don't think it's a very good likeness, actually.

It changes, although it is usually always one of the Singles events. It's been the Free Dance a few times.

Three people on motorcycles take a sharp turn around an ice and snow covered track. It is called ice racing and it is real.

Perhaps you jest but...

Saddest Disney movie opening ever. Sucks UP down a storm drain. Bonus whammy for having the WTC being the first goddam frame.

Yeah, be like the every season fans and get parasocial all the time. We're doing great over here. (We aren't.)

Who the fuck is that cuz it ain't Amber Glenn.

And it's female.

You aren't because most people don't even remember them. No wonder though, since Alysa postdates the phase out of compulsory figures and the implementation of IJS. There's such bitter irony in having most competition skating glyphs being someone doing a spiral.
