Just because you know something is coming doesn't mean you like to see it happen

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Horrible story, and I hope those assholes are caught and dealt with
And while I certainly blame far right agitators, Facebook etc, and sleeveens like McGuirk/Gript for fomenting this kind of awful stuff, Simon Harris and others in government need to take a hard look at themselves and their rhetoric

Asylum seekers have told of how they were followed by men on motorcycles before being subjected to an alleged attack in rural Co Dublin yesterday.
The incident – which saw the young men beaten and their car windows smashed – has been condemned.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Chels made a spreadsheet to keep track of the known abusers in figure skating (gross that the sport has enough to merit a spreadsheet but it is what it is) The list included known sexual assaulters and in some cases victims were minors.

in the current system, if you have only one of those things (quads or good skating skills), the person with quads will win, and that's what i don't like. it's not that i think quads shouldn't be worth anything, but someone with strong spins and stsq and clean triples should be competitive too

You know how in figure skating movies there's always an extremely European couple they cut to and they look regal, but absolutely rotten and evil? It's FB/C. #gpfigure

My social anxiety had me posting this ready for everyone to boo and hate me now only for it to turn out to be a take that is tepid at most and everyone just added much needed nuance and knowledge.
I love this community.
I love this community.
So, now that Finlandia is over I'm ready to share what I expect to be a very unpopular opinion:
I am not (at this time, opinion subject to change etc) opposed to the use of AI in figure skating tech judging 🧵
