And I’m allowed to ask “why don’t they have Video Part ice skaters that everyone thinks are cooler than the Comp skaters?”
The nice thing about being married is that @futurexskeleton.bsky.social is like legally required to listen to my rants about figure skating

This is Iraq War style propaganda: They make the face of a well-researched, (near) academic consensus, that isn't egregiously controversial among experts on the subject... and make the face of it a famous but uncredentialed young woman so they can pretend it's vacuous and naive.
It’s time to put Billie Eilish’s theory of property out to pasture, Richard Epstein and Max Raskin write.

If I had more time I would spend time hashing this out: Women's sports figures speak up bravely on issues because they know that a portion of the population hates them.
Men's teams think they can appeal to everyone so they're afraid to offend anyone.
Women's teams inherently know this is false.

Sounder At Heart rules, their coverage of the Sounders and league in general is fantastic, and they take principled stands.
We quit Twitter a long time ago but this still struck a nerve with some. That said, we’ve never regretted our decision.

I've been wishcasting with friends about how Diego Luna would solve Austin FC's problems: a creator, a U22, is cool and fun to watch, has great soccer hair, does Bluey cellies...
It's gotten to the point that I'm so sad about anything else happening that isn't him coming here. (It won't happen.)
