This is the last tweet in an almost 2-year running thread documenting his wife’s journey from cancer diagnosis to her passing today. I highly recommend everyone read it and take it to heart. What truly amazing people. Please donate to

@mossyzinc
at some point the judges acknowledging the terrible jumps themselves would nip this in the bud real fast. Call out every pre AND under rotated jump, and when it’s not profitable these jumping strategies will stop.
@ISU_Figure
Don’t know, I refuse to watch until you score athletes fairly & ban those who are cheating. I heard you over scored 1 specific country’s skaters, out of line w/your own rules on how to score elements & that Wakaba Higuchi should have been 1st.
@fairiesirens
You’ve perfectly explained so many of my major complaints with this movien there’s no purpose to any of the choices except twist and shock in a vacuum, perfectly made for TikTok and Twitter engagement. No actual story, no developed characters, just bad writing and filmmaking.
Catching up from TFF - DADDIO was great. Dakota Johnson produced and starred in this low-budget indie, and I can genuinely say I was impressed. Remember the name of writer/director Christy Hall, she’s legit. Hard to make an absorbing movie w/just 2 ppl in a car, but she did it.
@PopCrave
Remember when Emma Watson said the same stuff about Beauty and the Beast, and it turned out the original was far more nuanced and sophisticated than the reactionary remake? Same thing here-no one working on this film really understands the material, that’s a big bummer.
@fs_gossips
lol, she never completed a quadruple jump, they were pre-rotated for the first revolution, and then 2.5 rotations completed in the air and the last .5 completed on the ice again. Must be “euphoric” to be creating irreparable damage to your spine and hips…
@fs_gossips
He’s still pissed that his coach couldn’t bribe their way to gold. He should consider himself lucky he and his partner bribed their way to silver with that free dance.
@RoseanneOnABC
Used to love her and thought this show was perhaps the best depiction of blue-collar life ever on tv. But I cannot watch this when
@therealroseanne
so brazenly supports trump, when everything he stands for is going to hurt everyone this show is supposed to stand up for.
@SinceDayThree
@SluttyGorgon
@_ikant
only commenting on the statement. I just think the hot take about “Tradition” was as hollow and generic as the inspiration to express that sentiment, and ultimately useless in this discussion unless you actually know this family. And you don’t.
@USFigureSkating
How about just not holding any events in Texas at all, due to the persistently anti-humane policies they’re enforcing as a way to torment women, POC, and the LGBTQ+ community who make up the majority of the figure skating fan base???
The best films at Telluride this year were POOR THINGS, DADDIO, and ALL OF US STRANGERS, they all deserve multiple Awards nominations. The worst was SALTBURN which deserves nothing but derision.

@jimmykimmel
Lol, why? He’s had how many failed business ventures and declared bankruptcy how many times? He’s always lived off the backs of others, and I don’t think he’ll be looking to you to fill the huge staffing problem he’ll have when those backs continue to abandon him en masse.
@edgequality
they chose to put the athlete who tested positive at nationals in the TE, that’s on them. US also had Nathan Chen not doing the LP, doesn’t mean they get to count what he might have scored, instead of who actually competed.

I thought she said editing was taking longer because the repetitive task of blurring out kids or ppl who are in the middle of the frame in several shots was proving to be very time consuming.
@evna_perk
@Fran_klymydear
Exactly- black woman tests positive for a non-performance enhancing substance and she’s denied the opportunity she earned. Russians do it and the IOC bends backwards to let them keep their medal.
@Debiskates
@mossyzinc
And their assessment of what was actually done on the ice is the problem. If they stopped calling u/r triples “quads” they wouldn’t be gifting unearned points to these skaters.
@cbrennansports
@FlutzesCast
@usatodaysports
@USATODAY
So what this seems to suggest is that the athlete in question is scrambling to come up with an excuse to blame the positive test on so ROC doesn’t have to give up the gold medal for cheating, again.
@sch834
@guybranum
@billyeichner
What “before” ?? There hasn’t been a studio movie with an all-queer cast before. Apparently even asking your community to support a project whose success will affect how many opportunities queer storytellers have on this culture-defining stage in the future, is just too much.
@fs_gossips
lol, winning 🥇 by using performance enhancing drugs to gain a competitive advantage is ok with Zhulin, but getting the medal you earned by competing clean is apparently disgusting to him.
@Sites4Congress
@irishrygirl
@Jim_Jordan
Not to mention gaslighting victims, and enabling sexual abusers of minors, and lying about it. Let’s not forget how much time he spent doing that for most of his working life.
@DecChee
@Salem_Henok
For real, there are so many babies online now who don’t know anything about drag or comedy other than what they see on drag race; they’re always thrown by someone who breaks that mold, and wins because of it.
@CondoleezzaRice
Respectfully I think you should move on, the American ppl have other concerns. See how shitty that sounds when the subject is so important?
@TheView
@axeljumps
Two women who would have had a great chance to take the top two spots on this podium if they hadn’t been competing in their prime, with athletes using drugs to increase their technical content to stay ahead of the field. So incredibly sad for all the other competitors.

@BrightAnimal
Yeah these stupid people who want their rights and clean drinking water, why can’t they just wait 20-30 years for those?? GTFO “jasnotron”

At least they got something right! - if only they could have actually watched Being The Ricardos so they would have also thought better of giving Oscar noms to the Razzie-worthy lead performances

I haven’t shopped there for a long time, but I’m shocked they were allowed to stay and continue shopping.
@walmart
you’ve got some explaining to do. How dare you force employees have to serve these people.
@mariannesmahler
Some of the subtitles on a version just posted Sasha is saying “You knew! You knew about everything!” Did anyone else hear that in the video? What a tragic scene.
My family just watched this tonight & we actually had a hard time finding 5 good seats together at any theatre. Meanwhile WISH had so much room at every theatre we checked, they were practically empty. Clearly this movie was finding an audience and it deserves it.
#TheHoldovers
THE HOLDOVERS was No. 7 at the box office this weekend, playing at less than half the theaters of any movie ahead of it. That’s a hit. Whoever decided to give this only a 6-week theatrical window is probably kicking themselves.
@KimChi_Chic
What’s even weirder is the number of people in my orbit who claimed to be strapped for money, and worried about paying rent, just went and dropped money on new iPhones and PS5s. Makes me feel worse that the many people who really have those problems were exploited for sympathy.
@ISU_Figure
That she’s actually a well-rounded ladies skater, as opposed to the Russian babies doing quads, or the Russian teens still skating like babies, but taking gold as seniors...
@MonkeyBlood
@GeneMeh
@danpgsimpson
Yes they do actually. They should have been inspired or educated by the filmmakers without whom the medium would never have advanced, you know-something other than the film equivalent of opiates spoonfed to you by studio marketing depts.
@ISU_Figure
Ah so you’re exploiting Hanyu’s fan base to distract from your ridiculous public statement where you’ve not penalized Russia in the slightest, but criticized COVID protocols in other countries…

I do not believe an adult hung around for two hours after the play date. So.. the other kid’s parent just stood there and watched you cook dinner for two hours and you didn’t engage with them at all?

@Sven_Lurking
Is that his finger right in the path of the drill bit? How is that safe, with a human child’s spine right behind that?? Wtf are you talking about? The complaint is that this video promotes unsafe practices for a wasteful frivolous purpose. Nothing you said has disproven that.
Watching Drew Elliott direct this “cover” shoot makes you wonder how he worked his way into any position of importance at any magazine. And anyone else offended by how Shanice was treated??

@SkatingLesson
No it doesn’t, it encourages him to repeat exactly what he’s already doing, forever, because he knows the judges will reward him with the highest scores for components anyway.

@PopCrave
I think her cave of human artifacts, going up to the surface when she wanted to, skipping the concert to do so, was all meant to convey “disobeying her father,” all because she wants to be human. That is who she is, before she saves Eric’s life.
@TrashPowerRules
Sasha isn’t being spoiled, I think someone else said it right that she felt betrayed. Kamila got to do both programs in the TE, and Anna gets gold here. Sasha is the only one of the three who doesn’t have a gold medal from these Olympics.
@AuroraRisay

@thatonequeen
And if someone at a drag show doesn’t like your joke about a person they love, it’s ok for them to get up on stage and hit you too?
@SkatingLesson
This is also reiterated in the 30 for 30 episode “9.79” you take the drugs during training, not at competitions. They are not used like a cup of coffee in the morning.

@RyanInPNW
She founded Project Angel Food in 1989 which brought free meals to many ppl dying of AIDS, so at least she has a history of doing something meaningful for the community. Prince Harry even delivered meals during COVID lockdown. Not sure how many ppl now actually know that though.
@AnythingGOE
That’s awfully broad, 50s, 60s, AND 70s?? God it’s just going to be sock hop Elvis, Take 5, Austin powers and disco programs in the Olympic qualifying year :/
@AshWagner2010
I wish IJS would increase the value of spins overall & in the process cut off this pathway for subpar spins to earn L4 b/c the skater struggle-bused through adding a wonky illusion turn to the end for no performance-based reason. Maybe encourage good execution and creativity?
@fs_gossips
Lol, nothing magical. Just performance enhancing drugs, eating disorders, emotional abuse, and political manipulation to achieve results. That’s the lesson Florent Amodio wants his skaters to learn?

No, that’s extremely lazy writing. You can’t have frequently contradicting narrative threads combined with never resolved threads thrown in to fill out the script, and your escape hatch is “he’s crazy! It doesn’t have to make sense”
@rockerskating
I have a feeling my comment was misconstrued as supportive of the artless point-generating programs of Yuzuru Hanyu. To clarify, he’s always been overscored for artistry and skating skills, IMO.
