Kemi Badenoch doesn't get nearly enough hate because her and her party are basically irrelevant jokes in the face of Reform becoming the party of the Right in the UK. This is a woman who launched her leadership bid with the promise she wasn't afraid of Doctor Who. She's pathetic and total scum.

It's a Trios Costume. Hangman is going as Griff Garrison, Brody King is going as Nick Comoroto, and Bandido is going as Aaron Solo. #AEW #AEWDynamite

(Wrong Answers Only) What costume does Hangman Adam Page wear on AEW Fright Night Dynamite this year? #aewfanhub #aew #wrestlesky #prowrestling

This is a fucking wild thing to admit about a Government you did business with. "Yeah, I thought I was going to be murdered and stuffed into a box because one of the Princes was mad at me, but in the end, they were wonderful business partners."

George Barrios Details Meeting To Finalize WWE/Saudi Arabia Deal; Says There Were Armed Guards, A Prince Was In His Boxer Shorts & Had Hookah

Here's the same guy making Vincent Fucking K. McMahon look like a reasonable human being by claiming they just can't know for certain who murdered Jamal Khashoggi so they should keep taking that sweet sweet Saudi cash.

Some Lula supporters apparently shouted his name out their window when it was announced he won and a cop pointed his gun at him and they took what is possibly the greatest image of a cop ever taken, like genuinely this would go hard as a cover for a Rage album its so poetic.

And then had him sing the Collision Theme. "Ospreay: Englishman!"

Turning Michael Hayes into Dok Hendrix is insane if you think about it. A famous wrestler, who inspired two of their top guys (Shawn and Razor.) And they just gave him a new act. It'd be like now if they signed Darby Allin and was like "its Dashing Dave, a youtuber and podcaster"

What's frustrating me about some of the reaction to Brazil thankfully not electing a Fascist President again is that I still think people are working on the idea that winning the next election is *all* that is needed. Not saying not to vote against Fascists but there's so much work to reverse this.

Marine Le Pen has twice been defeated in the Second Round of the French Presidential Election but we're looking down the barrel of her winning in 2027. Simply outvoting the Fascists will only work for so long especially when "Moderate" parties try to court their base by adopting their framing.

I know it's used as a meme but I do fear some people sincerely believe that after an election when the Far-Right got a substantial share of the vote but failed to get into power, that we can all breathe a sigh of relief and say:

Sorry for Punk Discourse but legit question: Is anyone sad that we didn't get to see where the "Real AEW World Champion" stuff was going thanks to Punk getting fired? I thought it felt weird even at the time so I'm not shedding any tears over lost potential. #AEW

There's few things in this world realer than Eddie Kingston's raw honesty about his mental health struggles, and I'm so glad we have it in Pro Wrestling. Love you, Mad King.

If you're going to claim that Trans People must simply accept their rights and dignity being sacrificed for "the greater good" of defeating the Right in an election, I think you should have to list all the other marginalised groups you'd be happy to throw under the bus. Be honest. Who is expendable?

"Because I was told, "you’re going to wear the paint like you did in Japan", and I never wore paint in Japan. I think they got me confused with somebody else." Aw, dude...

The thing I really remember about Danhausen going to WWE is when a bunch of Fed Fans started acting like Danhausen was some phenomenal in-ring worker who was going to blow everyone away when he had his debut match. I like his act but come on, he's cromulent in-ring at best.

What are the Worst Faction Names in Pro Wrestling History? 🤼‍♂️ "The Club" (AJ Styles & The Good Brothers) is up there for me for being painfully dull. "The O.C" wasn't much better.

Oh, remember when WWE called Paige, Becky, and Charlotte "The Submission Sorority" and then immediately had to retcon that when people learned that was already the name of a porn site?

Even if THS are easy to work with in terms of willingness to put people over, how they actually have come across on TV gives the same vibes as a Malakai Black or Miro. The act has never felt at home in AEW (or at least the style I like in AEW) to me.

On X, The Everything App, MVP is very insistent today that the Hurt Syndicate have not resisted doing jobs in AEW.

Like I'm willing to accept MVP claiming the rumours are wrong, but that doesn't change that they haven't benefitted anyone during their run and didn't really set the world on fire enough to justify just being an act who gets themselves over.

Was thinking of naming a Noctowl in a Pokémon game after the Death Riders cause it reminded me of their logo but then I thought fuck it and now I'm going to tell you what Pokémon I think each of the Death Riders is. Alternative pitches welcomed. #AEW

Wheeler Yuta is Pancham The inspiration for Pancham is naughty kids who turn into full-blown delinquent when exposed to bad influences (Dark Types). Given Wheeler's kayfabe history, that felt like a good match.

Pac is Incineroar The Bastard being the Heel Pokémon feels right. Incineroar also has the signature move Darkest Lariat which becomes the Malicious Moonsault (not actually a Moonsault) when used as a Z-Move.

Marina Shafir is Urshifu Marina did Judo and Throh is the Pokémon based on Judo but I don't know, Throh just didn't feel right for me for some reason. Something about a bear just felt right for Marina. Also giving her a Legendary feels right for her role in the group.

What would someone in 2016 think if you told them there's a good chance Kofi Kingston is going to blade in a match soon? The idea of him not being with WWE until his retirement was verging on unthinkable back then.

Creed and Kofi reacting to the Texas Death Match stip like someone who's been sheltered in WWE for the majority of their career would. It’s fucking hilarious.

Never forget that the Poppy stuff in Britain is so mental that in November 2016, BBC's The One Show put a Poppy on a Muppet (they also put one on Cookie Monster! Waka Waka!) to avoid accusations that a literal puppet wasn't honouring our soldiers.

BladeoftheSun@bladeofthes.bsky.social

Every year the propaganda around the poppy becomes more and more ridiculous. Having nothing to do with the fallen or those injured in war, but instead a massive warmongering campaign by the people who profit from war or use it without taking any risks themselves.

Just cause I'm seeing some people interpret AOC saying "They're wrong." as being towards Trans People feeling abandoned, but I am pretty sure her intention was that she is saying "They're wrong." towards Democrats who consider trans rights "a losing issue" & "not worth defending".

More Perfect University@mpuniversity.bsky.social

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

Still be critical of politicians, obviously, and I do appreciate that the mistrust that creates that reading of her comment comes from an understandable place given the treatment of trans people by politicians supposedly on "their side".

If you're wondering why Bigger Secretariat keeps getting roles in big projects, let's just say one of his parents' name is blue on Wikipedia.
