I thought the premise of One Billion Americans was openness to immigration & “abundance” but turns out it’s just overseas conquest.

tbh, this is one of the things that makes me truly think that “banana republic” talk is the opposite of hyperventilating The new trump team is really making a hard effort to go top to bottom in their retribution tour When sources kept telling us there would be no half measures in a second trump…

Unfortunately, it appears Duane Koslowski has passed away. An incredible athlete and a great pro-wrestler as well. RIP. www.themat.com/news/2025/fe...

I just watched Sano vs Tamura from UWFi 5/6/93 for the first time in a while and it's easy to forget how good Tamura was at the small things. Fantastic match. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fISV...

Usually the post-disaster gentrification happens in a somewhat diffuse if not organic way, but it’s becoming more clear that LA means to turbocharge it with policy.

I've never seen this before but here's a pretty cool moment from Takada's retirement at PRIDE 23. He invites a lot of the former UWFi guys into the ring for one last hurrah. The closing shot of Takada on Takayama's shoulders....man. 🥲https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqGFRDUO_xk

Democratic administrations and university administrators spent the last fifteen months telling us that armed enforcement officers abducting people from campuses was good and commendable, and now the Trump administration will cash that check.

Low key one of my favorite Bockwinkel matches. 58 and finally starting to show his age, he and 54 yo Robinson wrestle this with all the intensity, if not quite the athleticism, of their 70s classics. Two old lions are still lions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5vw...

The Dodgers aren't ruining baseball. They're just better at it than everyone else. The Dodgers, over the last decade, have built an organization that players WANT to join. Roki Sasaki signing with the Dodgers is just a testament to what they've built. Full story: www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/d...

Here's an underrated RINGS match between Nikolai Zouev and Mikhail Ilyukhin. Ilyukhin attempts a sharpshooter (or at least tries) on Zouev and then later ends the contest with a sick submission finish. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfUG...

Not the most shocking thing in the world, but Sayama vs Fujiwara from 9/11/85 features one of the best punches I've seen thrown in a wrestling match.

OTD: Nobuhiko Takada and Akira Maeda met again in UWF Newborn as they kicked off 1989 in a jam-packed Nippon Budokan. 1989 would prove to be an important year for UWF as they grew in popularity and cemented themselves as the hottest promotion in Japan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUwC...

in hindsight the NYT anti-trans crusade is one of the most despicable things that any big time journalism outfit in this country has ever done. a perfect and clearly intentional layup for the fascists on the Supreme Court

I totally forgot about this due to the Thanksgiving holiday but the 35th anniversary of UWF's U-Cosmos Tokyo Dome show was four days ago. It was a transformational event in the history of pro-wrestling and MMA. The effects weren't immediate, but they were long-lasting. archive.org/details/uwf-...

South Korea rn is what it looks like when people see democracy as a fragile thing that needs to be defended by all means necessary, and not as their inevitable birthright as citizens of an exceptional nation

Per ROK Dem Party sources Yoon and the military put together a special unit to arrest Lee Jae-myung (DP leader), Han Dong-hoon (PPP leader), and Woo Won-shik (Natl Assembly speaker) without any warrant. Yoon is politically done and over if this is true.

The failure of the Biden team to promptly condemn an attempted coup in South Korea is disgraceful. The best thing the US could have done would have been to firmly signal opposition to martial law.

The DC foreign policy establishment cheered Yoon's victory in 2022, following a shockingly reactionary campaign ("the incel election"), because they figure his far right politics makes him friendly to US imperialism and militarism and taking on China

Martial law declared in South Korea 40 minutes ago. It can be lifted by a majority vote in the national assembly, but they are blocking the building with police buses.
