If you follow figure skating, you know the names Torvill and Dean and the impact they made on ice dancing. Yesterday was the anniversary of them winning Olympic gold. You know all the conspiracy theories and the shipping that goes on with Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir? It wasn’t exactly the same with Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean back in the 80s, but that’s because there was no internet. People were however super passionate about them being for-real, despite them saying repeatedly that they’d never been in a relationship. That said, it never escalated to the level of abuse that Tessa and Scott and Scott’s fiancée, Jackie, still get – and it’s been years of it. (Go Fug Yourself)
Yes, this totally tracks. If ever there was a couple, now, that would do the vial of blood around the neck thing, like Angelina and Billy Bob, it would be these two. And I 100% buy that they would consider it one of the most romantic symbols of love. Some of us just like a clean bathroom though, you know? (Dlisted)
I love fun geography facts, even though I think I suck at geography in Trivial Pursuit… which reminds me… it’s been a minute since we’ve played it. My games night crew is all about Code Names. And last weekend we did an escape room. Next month we’re doing murder mystery night. Anyyyyywayyyy, here are some surprising geography facts – and here’s one for Canadians, or for Canadians who get annoyed by everyone always talking about how we are some kind of cold-only weather country. “The majority of Canadians live south of Seattle.” It’s cold in places here. But we are more than just cold! (Pajiba)
As expected, the British tabloids are trying to cook up some controversy about when the royal family was told about the fact that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expecting a second child. (Celebitchy)
Unlike how it was when they first confirmed their relationship, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello are a lot quieter about their love these days. But the love is still on. It would have to be if he’s kissing her feet, literally. They should have tagged Quentin Tarantino. I don’t want my feet anywhere near anyone’s mouth but I think that has more to do with the fact that my feet are janky as f-ck. Some people just have ugly feet, OK? (Vulture)
