Personally not enjoying what the writers are doing with these off-season plot twists.

The thing about Vancouver wanting a world class art gallery is we already have one.
The Museum of Anthropology combines two of the greatest visual contributions this land has shared with the world β West Coast Modernism and Northwest Coast Art β into a singular expression of this region.
There's always a wave of notable post-Olympic retirements, but I will particularly miss Miura & Kihara. They're brilliant skaters and ambassadors for Pairs, and their win in Milan was the perfect crown for their career.
A li'l throwback Olympic post here:

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to β¦
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.
It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
The best part about learning how to play guitar is that even when you're crap at it you can still make some nice sounds.
Most of the chord changes are a mess? Don't worry, every 9th try you're going to hit it and it feels great.

I was crossing my fingers for SCI to head back west for 2026 and it worked! Come one, come all to Kelowna (which was a really great host city in 2019)!

Despite being 6 years and hundreds of hours deep into ACNH, I still encounter bits of character dialogue that leave me wheezing:

Yuma's glorious, sublime quad sal scored +4.43 GOE. Did the judges decide to withhold perfect 5s for Lent or something? #WorldFigure
The airtime has seemed too long in other comps, but I don't agree with the call today. Reviewing the clip, the most I'd call is Lilah overhead for 6 seconds (0:11-0:17 on the clock), & afaik the max time is 7 seconds for the lifted partner. Why the judges chose death by stopwatch today I can't tell.

Get in the chair, Yuma! Take your throne! #WorldFigure

Current mood: relieved the figure skating season is finally over
Mood in approx 6 weeks: disgusted by how long it is until the new figure skating season starts
Friends, we have at last reached the end of the Olympic season. To quote the inimitable Shoma Uno:

Ice dance as the closing event of an otherwise glorious Worlds.

Great time to catch up on my Tumblr notifications. #WorldFigure
