An actual conversation I witnessed recently:

Its’s ok when you ask someone where they’re from. It’s not ok when you follow up with “no, but where are you from........”

Stupid yes, but also pretty racist.

Mark Mitchell was bumped from the team in 1992 in favor of Todd Eldredge.

I’m Canadian and for real I will flip a table if Virtue and Moir don’t win. I remember raging out in 2002 also. You’re not wrong that the judging is super corrupt but you are WRONG that nobody cares. Godddd why did you bring up Sale and Pelletier now I’m all heated.

His commentary and his wardrobe.

as Johnnie Weir would say, it was choreographed within an inch of life. the musicality of the program is SUPERB!

Nagasu was thrilling to watch. Her emotional reaction and response of her teammates at the conclusion of the program was my favorite moment of the Olympics, thus far.

Can we talk about Zagitova though? She murdered her program, and did it in opera length gloves. Fifteen years old. I am a life failure.

On one hand: great quote!

Also—why would he know this so well that he can describe it in detail? How many of us have actually seen someone suffocated? Not many I’d guess...

The fact that he says he’ll cut her air off for “a little bit” makes me want to wear bubble wrap around my neck. You can do significant damage to your hyoid and larynx by putting just a little pressure on the area. Why would you risk injuring an actor like that who has to speak?!?

We’re one SCOTUS seat away from this sort of retrograde bullshit right here in the good old USofA. Land of the Free (if you’re a cis white male) and home of the brave (if you’ve got a gun)

No — sleep no more is from Macbeth not from Hamlet.

This is sad, but also doesn’t surprise me. I saw Sleep No More in 2016 without knowing much about it and was little started by how close naked performers got to me and other patrons. Between the anonymity provided by the masks and how close people crowd around the actors, it was an assault just waiting to happen.

I have not seen this production (not my thing generally), but I have good friends who went a few times in 2010ish land. So I can say: bullshit they don’t encourage you to drink ‘anymore than any other theater production’.

I think the thing that stuck with me the most about that piece, is exactly how many times their lawyer said some variation of the phrase “we don’t believe the victim.” It felt like it was in every paragraph almost.

I’ve seen this show twice now, once in 2011 and once in 2017. The second time I saw the show, there were easily twice as many audience members (if not more) than were at the show I saw in 2011. So many so that I was legitimately concerned about both performer AND audience safety. There are only a handful of performers…

Buzzfeed even mentions a piece from Gawker’s Brian Moylan written in 2011, in which he instructs patrons on how to view all the nudity in Sleep No More, and admits to grabbing a performer’s butt.
