The Yuzuru Hanyu divorce is such a sad thing, but nice that you decided to cover it. He is truly one of the greatest figure skates of all time

This is referred to as a "true kill screen," which means the game is not able to keep running after that point. Although there are new records being chased for speedrunning to this level, as well as actually avoiding these glitches to push to higher and higher levels.

The divorce info is actually really sad. Like you get married to someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, but the harassment is so bad that you get a divorce - not because you don’t want to be together, but because of actual outside forces poisoning the you you have.
That is so upsetting and saddening that the ice-skaters relationship was so effected by others not letting them be.
those 2 people that missed their flight tho...

As a queer Taylor Swift fan, I hate the Gaylors that think Taylor is gay. Like, could she be on the queer spectrum? Sure. It's possible, but it's disgusting to speculate others sexuality. If she wants to tell us, she can. If she doesn't, that's fine too.

Same. I am a queer Swiftie as well and the Gaylors annoy me to no end. Like yes art is subjective and you can find personal meaning in a song through a queer lense but that does not give you the right to speculate a person's sexuality and invade the personal life to fit a narrative that you want
Yuzuru Hanyu breaking off his marriage due to media harassment is so sad when you think about how he is essentially being (unwillingly) treated like Japanese idol. The media coverage has widely been negative because idol culture is so toxic that when idols so much as interact with the opposite sex they get death threats and harassment campaigns launched against them. Most idols even have clauses in their contracts that prohibit them from being in a relationship.
An RIP you missed: N. Scott Momaday, one of the greatest writers of the Native American Renaissance, died on January 24 at the age of 89. Seriously, everybody should at least read his book “The Way to Rainy Mountain” - it’s really good.

Starry replaced Sierra Mist in January 2023, you're only a year off.
Something I wish you mentioned was how the new Steamboat Willie horror movie received a surprising detractor comment, what makes it particularly surprising, (and awesome), was that it was written by the director of Blood and Honey, (at least someone's finally acknowledging his mistake), but in all seriousness, I recommend you read the quote in full yourself. It brings up a lot of good points about how creators really need to work on high-quality stories and projects. As a fanfiction writer on Wattpad myself, I know all about that.

That Taylor Swift article was extremely cringe tbh. It felt really creepy and inappropriate to speculate on her sexuality with a bunch of bizarre fan conspiracies from someone desperate to be validated. Pretty sure TS is straight, but if she isn’t that’s her business. And there are other famous openly queer artists to celebrate instead of wishing Taylor was one of them.
Thanks for the updates!!
