Patton Chen, a Chinese figure skater and a big fan of the anime Yuri!!! On Ice, has been recreating routines from the show and putting them on his YouTube channel. He just uploaded his own version of Yuri’s “Eros” routine this week, and it’s stunning. A month ago, he uploaded a video of himself performing the routine from “History Maker,” from the opening credits of the show. Both videos are absolutely worth watching for any fan of the show or of skating in general!
- Kristen Iverson’s “Against Empathy: Why Love Doesn’t Trump Hate” makes the case for holding Trump voters accountable, and goes on to argue that “political liberals are already inherently empathetic toward Trump voters.

- According to the Voltron: Legendary Defender creative team, the show couldn’t have delved as much into telling slow, character-based stories without Netflix. Well, good thing Netflix exists, then.

That’s what we saw today. How about you?
