Ilia Malinin, Team USA's favorite for a gold medal in men's figure skating, finished eighth in the event last week after stumbling throughout his performance. But, he tells CBS News' Kelly O'Grady he still wouldn't pare down his difficult routine despite this experience. "I think it's more important for me to just push the sport forward," Malinin said. "Not a lot of people talk about the Olympic champions anymore, and it's more about what image you leave for the sport."

I didn't get a chance to post these clips of Cody Schwab from last week, so enjoy. - Says that he can't get a sponsor because people on twitter are claiming he killed someone - Can't justify playing Rivals of Aether because he cannot financially afford any time away from melee - Assures his audience that he isn't struggling for money, yet e-begs anyway because "it would really help him right now" I wonder how that lawsuit is going, btw 🤔 - Says that Z-Jump really doesn't make a meaningful difference - Says that his fellow competitors are entitled for complaining about Z-Jump because they just don't work as hard as he does - Says that people who are in favor of banning Z-Jump are all misinformed, and they don't even understand the mechanic - Goes into Moky's chat and is immediately recognized as the mom fucker

This hotel receptionist is dealing with a man who made a reservation, when he made it they asked for a credit card for an advance deposit. But when it was time to check in and actually charge the card, his card declined. He is now demanding that she calls the manager, she’s asking him only for a valid credit card so she can check him in. He refuses and claims the initial reservation is proof he paid even though she explains how it works to him. Is it safe to say he knew he gave them a bad card and is now trying to get the room for free?

The more he talks, the more he sounds like a cult leader. He plays the veteran card and says the threats don’t scare him because his life has already been hard. Cry about it a little more buddy, DOJ is coming for you!

Retired NASA astronaut Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) says the Artemis II mission “is risky,” but he adds, “Is it worth it? Absolutely.” His brother, retired NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, adds, “Even though we went to the moon in the 60s and early 70s, this is a complete different ballgame.” He says this mission is “critically important” to a future crewed moon landing or even later to Mars, and it ushers in a “brand-new day for space exploration in this country.”

Zohran Mamdani tells Fox News he plans to arrest Netanyahu under the ICC, even though the USA is not a member of the ICC. Apparently, he thinks being Mayor of NYC entitles him to run his own federal foreign policy. He clearly doesn’t understand how US Democracy works.

A microcosm of the cover that the media is going to run for Talarico and his history of radical lib comments: MSNOW’s Katy Tur says he has taken the “God is non-binary” thing back and said it was “silly." Talarico’s actual answer on this is that his comment was “deliberately provocative” and that you “can’t use human categories to define God” then deflects to Paxton. He does not “take it back” nor does he say it was “silly” or anything even resembling that kind of language. Expect a lot more of this stuff from the media as they campaign for Beto 2.0.

How uninformed is Zohran Kwame Mamdani ? Zohran promises a RENT FREEZE next year, but Zohran doesn't even understand it takes years & years for a Mayor Eric Adams to take control of the Rent Guidelines Board to do it. How can Zohran run the city government, when he doesn't understand it?
