A while back, I mentioned I was writing a Masters thesis on the use of social media in pro wrestling. That has evolved. Into a book for beginning independent wrestlers to create / maintain / observe best practices for their digital profiles and grow their careers. A publisher is already lined up.

ICYMI I'm donating the ad revenue from my cockamamie podcast for each of the next three months (starting in October) to the preferred charity/mutual aid choice of my first three guests in Fancestor history @garretheinrich.bsky.social @chrystalok.bsky.social @ruthkapelus.bsky.social

Just so we're clear on what's actually happening, yeah? Don't believe the hype. Get out and vote.

Rest in Peace Walter Koenig. Thank you for navigating us through the final frontier, for your years of activism, writing, and memorable characters like the joyous Chekov and the sinister Bester. We're forever grateful that you lent your talents to our game. We'll see you again, in the stars.

Damn, dude. RIP Walter Koenig. Rest easy, Ensign Chekov.

The overall culture. People are gonna people, so there will always be some 💩 to deal with. But the current generation seems to be more grounded and (mostly) supportive. They are also taking care of themselves outside of the ring better than prior years.

Today's Vinyl: Saturdays are becoming book work days with everyone else at their jobs. Let the motivation commence via Indigenous black metal. Blackbraid - "Blackbraid II" #MusicSky

Arrived today. @modiphius.bsky.social

Outta my sight, scrub

I haven't seen the entrance video yet, but that won't stop my support. BlueSky has been a rare space where production folks (✋) are getting their long overdue credit. I'd like to see that continue. #WrestleSky

AEW gave me a cassette tape too but it was just the Conglomeration playing a campaign of the "Dune: Adventures in the Imperium" TTRPG

Grace Jones rules.

“Pro wrestling conversations, like sports on Bluesky across the board, rarely engagement-farm—posts are celebratory and much more real. The lesson is to invest in product features that serve people who care more about the community than they care about going viral.” — @harry.bsky.team

Incredible investigation youtu.be/l8IyGjdY1sg?...

BIG League Chew came up short in the Triple Tech Tournament. But there’s no time to dwell on it BIG Callux has Fenris and their Dog Collar Match on his mind. And The Outfielders? They have their eyes on the main event on November 22nd….

Supporting one of my favorite Indies by spreading the word. That's all. #WrestleSky

I'm not sure the words exists in the English language to convey how correct Gannosuke is #WrestleSky

Current whereabouts #MusicSky

"Once you penetrate so much as an inch beyond the fakeness... [you] understand that 'winner' and 'loser' don’t matter much in the traditional sense. They matter as narrative categories serving the stories and the characters and the awesome physical feats they execute."

Non-sequitr time. This comes from a law student I know - my daughter. [Name hidden for privacy reasons]

"Every day is a gift...What we grew up dreaming of doing. What kids around the world, just like us. Nobodies from nowhere. What they're growing up dreaming of doing right now...To take this opportunity and do something with it." Those are the words that convinced me to stay.

BEEF! Rules. Hell of a guy. Always happy to see him.

TFW a tribute show to a fallen wrestler talks you out of walking away.

I gotta do anything else but cry tonight. Love you sickos. Hug your loved ones, pet your pets and call your mom and dad if you still can. Shit is crazy out here. 🤼‍♂️

Come to find out, this is a good tactic to ferret out those "Please Help My Child You Inconsiderate Bastard" scambot accounts so they can be blocked

Yes, of course it's not all men, but if for their safety many women decide to treat all men as guilty until proven innocent, respect that this caution comes from the very real threat posed by men, and the system that is constructed to let them get away with being monsters.

Such a simple combination of traits to expect from people. And yet.

Always liked this movie. One of the ones I'm looking for a physical copy of, alongside "Nixon"

You know how many friggin people I've asked get this treatment the last decade or so?! Most people's "hot takes" are for attention. The grift of relevance. Take away the attention, the grift and relevance disappear with it.

Jesus Christ. RIP PAC.

Hilarious.
