I have sympathy for anyone who posts AI stuff that honestly thinks it’s real but when you say shit like this it’s a block

Just deleted a repost because it’s bullshit AI slop, be careful out there folks

I’m also going to shoutout Shun Sato, he is not my favorite skater but to go out there and skate a clean performance after Ilia’s insane freak show (SEVEN CLEAN QUADS) is no small thing. Safe to say he’s a lock for the Japanese national team, no? #GPFigure #figureskating

Also I can’t lie, I am surprised but pleased that C/FB will not find the road to an Olympic gold medal as easy as they perhaps assumed? (I also think it’s safe to say Fear/Gibson are the front runners for bronze, barring major mistakes of course.) #GPFigure #figureskating

Man, when Ilia Malinin is on, he is ON. (I’m still begging him to get rid of those monologues.) also I gotta say, his back flip looks better than Adam’s. #GPFIgure #figureskating

Oh he’s got BILLS bills
Folks you may have been baffled by the “Kevin Costner presents the first Christmas” ad you just saw on ABC

And I am here to make it worse by sharing with you the official poster for this blessed event

More #GPFigure thoughts! Am genuinely surprised that Chock/Bates are ahead of C/FB (though I am NOT complaining) and as much as I love Miura/Ryuichi...I kind of think Conti/Macii were deserving of the win? Now to watch what apparently is a heartbreaker of a ladies' short... #figureskating

Ireland calling the UK out for being stupid enough to fall for this 'gender critical' bollocks.
My head nearly fell off. The actual Minister for Health said this?

Okay so the men were MENNING during this short program, I see #GPFigure #figureskating

Pretty much unspoiled for today’s #GPFigure, catching up now with the pairs short! My main thought so far is while the Hungarians were clean, they seemed so SLOW in how they moved across the ice. Deanna and Máxime certainly weren’t clean, but I do love how hard she sells the lifts. #figureskating

hey buddy (lost dog in Minneapolis edition)
Anyone recognize this dog? My neighbor is watching him until his owners are found. Pit mix, male, pretty sizable, good at greeting and friendly behaviors and VERY SWEET. No tag, no chip. Surely his family yearns for him. Found in the Standish-Ericson neighborhood in Minneapolis, near Lake Hiawatha.

This is your 2 minute whistle training.

Now you’re ready to use a whistle if you spot ICE.
Neighbors - you do not need anyone's permission to sound your whistle when you spot ICE. Nor do you need to attend a whistle training first. Here's everything you need to know.

Today is World AIDS day, and the current US govt refuses to acknowledge it, for the first time since 1988. Here’s a memory I’d like to share, to show how in even the worst of times, people came together to support each other. May the memory of those we lost continue to be a blessing.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Some things stay with you forever, and my music tastes are forever impacted by being a tiny child judging every singer on the radio by the “do they sound as good as Whitney Houston” bar.

It’s not that I hate singers like Tom Waits or The Magnetic Waves or whoever, I’m just…occasionally confused.
