the way this shit makes it clear that it's okay for SOME people to keep themselves safe, but they run shit about how the rest of us are just supposed to pretend it's over and done with and rawdog potentially disabling illness...😒

yeah, idk. without the "also alysa has said he's homophobic" meaning it was a pattern i might look at it differently.
February 9, 2026 at 2:54 PM
and yes, this was a few years back, but...idk. kinda stuck with me esp. because we know Johnny Weir was dinged points *for* being gay.

Ahh jeeeez 😬 www.reddit.com/r/FigureSkat...

he "joked" that he couldn't be straight bc gay men get better components scores, then "apologized" saying it was a joke, then did the "i have a gay friend" thing right after the "apology"

Alysa (Liu presumably) had said he was homophobic prior to that...

like , it's hard to not root for someone who misses one of his jumps and then smiles and skates 15% *harder*...

(Pats haters are exempted, y'all don't have to give them anything- I mean locals/"fans"/local news acting like this wasn't fuckin incredible.)
February 9, 2026 at 2:28 PM
to act like this wasn't magic- Vrabel coming in, the team being so much more cohesive, this SECOND-YEAR, 23 YEAR OLD QB doing as well as he did...that is still magic.

Vrabel's entire goal was win the AFC East and they ended up at the Super Bowl.

give them that, man.

like, i do not watch the nfl anymore. i have not for many years because i remember when they made a huge deal of potentially deflated footballs and then let players who BEAT THEIR WIVES/GIRLFRIENDS get a fucking pass.

but i know how this season went vs. the last one, cause i watch the news.
