There was a video of some ice ballet in inflatable t-rexes on Tumblr, but I confess I thought it was a one-off. A whole event...! Lol.

Okay. While totally adorbs, I think she would have been much cuter in a straw-brimmed hat rather than a tiara. And no, I had no idea this existed.

of course Trump claims drug deaths are up, as is crime in general, because Dictators always need a threat Only They can save you from.

Inflatables skating; that's the best new thing I've seen in a while.

No, I'm pretty sure it is the inflatable that is skating, and the girl is only jockeying. It even says so in the competition title "2023 National Showcase INFLATABLES Figure Skating Event" which I watched after that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-EIUpqcXS0
