Also, while I'm at it, the #OlympicGames Ice Dance=travesty. It's a broken system when an event meant to reward excellence is hijacked by a petty French judge & a blind Spanish judge. Chock & Bates gave a gold medal skate. The world recognized it, and the judges let us all down.

Proud of how Ilia Malinin acted in the end. No one had more pressure on him, and for a 21-one-year old to show the poise and class he did in defeat made me proud. #Olympic2026

4 yrs ago my gf (now wife) took me to my first event where I watched Ilia Malinin and said "That's who you send to Beijing, give him the experience, invest in your future." How sad that 4 years later, someone who knew NOTHING about skating still knew more than @USFigureSkating.

Hard to believe a novel still so prescient in its social insight, so alive in its prose, turns 100 today! A glimpse into the midnight of the human heart so powerful, it continues to expose our own yearnings, failings & the vainglorious, vitiated dream of this complicated country

Emily Armstrong of @deadsara isn’t @ChesterBe… nor should she try to be. @linkinpark is back with brand new music and a powerful female vocalist and I’m thrilled for the journey. All the love.

Not Travis Kelce quoting TWO song lyrics (Elvis & The Beastie Boys) that weren’t Taylor Swift’s lyrics during his speech 👀 #SuperBowl2024

These are my words but not exclusively my feelings. I’m glad I can express a shared sentiment.
I’m overwhelmed by your response. There’s a lot of love in this crazy world after all.
Thank you.

@JoyceCarolOates I co-host a podcast dedicated to depictions of masculinity (both good & bad) in literature. I was hoping to get permission to perform a dramatic reading of "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" in its entirety, followed by an analysis of Arnold Friend. TY!

#SineadOConnor Back in 1992 she spoke out against sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and we canceled her for it. She was transparent about mental illness before it was trendy and we shamed her for it. Maybe now one of Ireland’s strongest voices can find the peace we denied her.

@SamLesek I guess just working through the rust no matter what. I’ve never found an elegant solution. What about you?

[Zac @Zackellian]

@SamLesek Yes and it made me feel very rusty. Anything more than 3 days and I miss a step.

If my wife’s grandmother being a total badass inspired you as it did me, here’s a quick link to get your started on ways to help: https://t.co/bq47Bwbivi

Rest assured, Persian woman are fierce, strong, and relentless (I should know, I married one). They will win this battle.

[Zac @Zackellian]

To keep a spotlight on the #IranProtests-- and because we could all use a little inspiration right now-- I wanted to share a thread about my wife’s grandmother: a human who proves Persian woman are true fighters who will never, ever back down. #IranRevolution2022 #MashaAmini …

[Zac @Zackellian]

Once, on a bus in the 1970s, my wife’s grandmother stood up to bullies and inspired everyone on that bus to stick up for her and to champion what was right. Today, thousands of woman are sticking up to bullies in #Iran and I hope we can all continue to share their truth…
