what the moment calls for is fighters instead of gormless boobs who should have retired 30 years ago. policy differences can be hashed out later, everyone can agree that Musk and Trump must be stopped and democracy restored

If i were president i would issue an executive order stating that everyone had to love each other and listen to CDs and then I'd push through universal healthcare

Hobbits excitement about potatoes indicates the Lord of of the Ringside takes place in South America.

When people cheer Mangione, watch for tons of pearl-clutching about norms from people who absolutely reject and ignore both norms and actual laws. They seek to impose standards they don’t follow. They’d never apply those norms and standards to Trumpism.

Nazi punks fuck off for sure but I'd love for nazis who like other types of music and ones who don't like music at all to also fuck off

Anybody have any tips for reading a book out loud to an audience of children when that book consistently makes you cry?

The only injury check-in story I can remember them doing was when Adam Cole was out and Roderick Strong was harassing him. And, as annoying as Strong was in those segments, it worked to make Strong more well known and keep Cole on people's minds.

I think my single biggest gripe about AEW is that they don't do injury updates or talk about people who aren't on the show. It makes it too easy to forget about somebody, which then deprives their return of excitement, and makes attempts to resume rivalries awkward at best.

I'm shopping for yarn for work and I have to say I really love the quantity of yarn sellers who describe their yarn as both wool and cotton. It can't be both and it's probably neither.

Disgust is not a good measure of morality. There are lots of things I find utterly repulsive that I think are inarguable moral goods.

A thing no one tells you about polyamory is that sometimes you'll have to eat dinner twice and pretend you are happy about doing so.

Today I learned: L Ron Hubbard's son believes Scientology developed out of Hubbard's lifelong devotion to black magic. "Scientology is black magic spread out over time... Black magic is probably the only part of Scientology that really works." Hubbard Jr. claimed.

Not to be too big a fan of the Romans, but they knew what to do with people who called themselves kings.

in my dreams last night i was professional wrestler named SHRIMP LOVER and whole gimmick was that i loved shrimp id eat it in the ring very dramatically and wear all pink an do pincher hand moves. mostly dream was me backstage trying to convince them 'the shrimp' or 'king shrimp' was a better name

Of all the things that could have been done with Bandido's return, short of injury, feeding him into the black hole of Chris Jericho is the worst.

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

Is there any other genre of music where being too good or too successful means people say you aren't really that genre? Or is that just a ska thing?

I came home to see one of my ghost shrimp swimming around with most of the corpse of an Endler's dangling from it's claws. I know that keeping a relatively short lived fish means inevitable death, I just wasn't prepared for the spectacle of nature's recycling system.

I just saw a menu describe guanabana as a "tropical fruit similar to cherimoya" and boy, do these people have an optimistic view of my knowledge of tropical fruits.

YEEEAAAAHH!!

You want to know the most embarrassing way I've lost a game of Magic? I forgot my opponent had an enchantment that dealt 1 damage to "an opponent" every time one of their creatures died. And I wiped the board. And they had more than 40 squirrels. I probably had other options.

Why did the people who made GI Joe think the Dreadnoks needed a pig themed buddy so bad?

When the whole squad gets together for a night out.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

In 30 years we went from storing Kevin Mitnick in federal solitary so he couldn’t “whistle nuclear launch codes into a pay phone” (look it up, this was real) to letting an unelected douchebag grant free access to the same script kiddies who almost certainly dared him to Hitler salute them on TV.

Oops 😬

ASS UP FACE DOWN THAT'S THE WAY WE LIKE TO DROWN

It should be obvious at this point that the people pushing AI on you hold you in contempt and think that you're a mindless drone. You cannot run your own life and need them to do everything for you. You only deserve meaningless slop, you don’t even get to have your own thoughts.

"We intuit or... experience something... indestructible in us, something vast. As little, temporary egos, we fear this presence which threatens to engulf or absorb us, and so we project it into the sky... We obey... We kneel,... never realizing... we are secretly worshipping ourselves"-Kripal

Finally, I think Crass was probably right.

Third, I'm still not a fan of most of The Clash's music.

Second, Paul Simonon was incredibly attractive. Just, absolutely beautiful young man.

I watched Rude Boy last night and I learned a few important things. Firstly, The Clash are a ska band without a horn section.
