Piglet knew all of his toys by name. He had great recall and would grab the correct toy that you told him to get. Can any of your Schnauzers do this?

They’re a very intelligent breed.

The only player besides Sabalenka that Svitolina needs to avoid playing to win Roland-Garros

I posted Sasha Cohen’s Charlotte spiral in a sub called r/TopTalent and this one person keeps saying that it’s standard for female figure skaters and easy, that most can do this position and even do it in a spin 🙄 So they called me a bot lol

Don’t you hate it when people who clearly don’t know what they’re talking about try to condescending explain something to you that you know a lot about?

I kept telling them that she was the only one who could do this move in a perfect split, that the spin they’re thinking of is an I-spin and not in this position, and that this move is difficult because of the balance, control and strength it takes. But no matter what I say they just double down and some people keep upvoting their comments, which is ridiculous.

Also, I was stupid and cringe to include the actual width of a figure skating blade in my post title, but I wanted to show how much balance it requires to do this move on such a thin blade of steel.

Does anyone have or know of a video of Zhang & Zhang landing a throw quad salchow at the 2006(?) Chinese National Games that isn't potato-quality? Maybe on Chinese social media?

I don't think Maria Butyrskaya gets enough recognition for being one of the few skaters to have a textbook 3F AND a textbook 3Lz with the correct edge on both jumps and minimal pre-rotation.

He was an extremely influential American billionaire who founded CNN, the first 24 hour news network (questionable whether that was a good idea in retrospect), and was a big environmentalist who played a massive role in saving the American bison from going extinct and provided a $1 billion donation to the United Nations to create the United Nations Foundation, which supports global environmental sustainability. Rupert Murdoch was also his nemesis and he even challenged to fight him one time. In some ways, he was kind of a modern day Teddy Roosevelt.

It's made it difficult for me to enjoy Firebird programs ever since because I inevitably compare them to this. Also, I think this costume is fire, pun intended.

A Lori Nichol masterpiece and the only time she skated this program clean (albeit without the 3T+3T that she did at 99 Nationals). Also, I remember hating this haircut at first but it has grown on me over time. It's very 90s.

Someone questioned me about Jimmy Carter’s deregulation of the airline industry under a post from yesterday about deregulation after I said it was one of the exceptions where deregulation was mostly a positive thing, so here’s an academic paper from 2009 that people can read and come to their own conclusions.
