A good thread to read before the Olympic women’s figure skating short program today 🧵 #figureskating ⛸️
The Olympic women's short program is today, and this is my preview / reminder for those who may be wondering what happened since the last Olympics.
At the last Olympics, as many of you know, the breathless talk of the commentators was about women doing quad jumps! Wow! Amazing!

Good day Bluesky friends. By popular request, here are a few more seconds from our “Baldur & Ori cam.” At one point they split off in separate directions. The camera followed Ori. How did Baldur get to the fence so fast? The first one to the fence gets the first kiss when the foals show up 😂

People don’t realise how massive the impact on people’s personal expression - and overall freedoms - will be, with previously affordable tech being hogged by AI / data centers. The billionaires’ cretinification of society is going according to plan.
A really funny game to play now if you upgraded your PC in the last few years is to check the price of equivalent components now. The RAM I paid £279 for in 2024 is now £1059 on the same store lmao

They’re using “prepare” as a synonym for “expect” here, but I really think there’s a distinction:
