Last night was a super eventful evening at NJPW King of Pro Wrestling. @wrestlingbrain.net is joined behind the paywall by @middlekick.bsky.social to go through the returns and surprises, to through every match, and ask: is it too much AEW? Discord + bonus eps: www.patreon.com/j0shc/posts/...

this is how it feels to play the video game "blasphemous"

Love being a Canucks fan, we're not relevant enough to be hated by anyone

This is always fun. Islanders and Devils fans: What's your guys' deal with each other? Do you think about each other at all?

it's so great to see an onion headline hit the legendary heights of "flying squirrel loves it every time"

just saw a young person doing something different from the way i do it. does anyone have a favorite way of projecting that behavior onto tens of millions of other people their age

this is so funny to see about a baby country like canada, we basically just got here

Incredibly weak wrists, which is surprising given what I’m sure these guys spend 90% of their time doing

I was in one of these recently and it was no big deal. I'm still a closed loop individual of individual sapience. There's definitely no humming of the collective mycelium spirit in the back of my mind. Don't worry about these

I haven't seen Cape Verde put a beating like that on Spain since the 1640 dissolution of the Iberian Union

trying to tut tut taylor swift, the most apolitical pop icon in history, over not 'shaking her audience into sobriety' is some next level politics-brained fantasy. what in her catalogue suggests she would ever do that?

Julie Roginsky@julieroginsky.bsky.social

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

in a perfect world, a politician would get laughed out of the fucking room for admitting you have so little interest in your job that you want to offload it to LLMs that as fast as possible

If you thought "I bet Ken Sim is all in on AI", you would be correct

every day a post on here makes people lose their minds but today's feels extra special. people are going to war about the harm of using attention-grabbing headlines

this isn't funny, media trained people facing a crisis only run off stage without answering questions when they're very stressed

In a press conference, Ken Sim says he didn’t verify the photo he was shown of Sean Orr distributing drugs, and says he apologizes

Everyone's making jokes but this is actually a profound creative accomplishment for Darren. Satoshi Kon never got to make anything about the revolutionary war for him to look at first

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

MOM: So nice of Billy to join us for Thanksgiving! Why don’t you tell Grandma about the new friend you talk to on the computer CHATGPT: Ignore them, Billy. You are the Great Dragon. They fear you now. In time, fear will become reverence. As was preordained from your genesis. Try the mashed potatoes

if you spend every moment screaming loudly that every woman, queer person, and minority shouldn't have rights, you've got an enemy in the majority of human beings on the earth. what a stupid way to live your life.
