SPIDEE | NCCJ of Greater Dayton
Students Promoting Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity through Education SPIDEE Through NCCJ's SPIDEE programming, students are given the opportunity to develop leadership skills and grow in their person...

SPIDEE is a great program fighting bigotry in schools in the Dayton area, but funding cuts have hit it hard. Three schools--including my kids'--are in danger of losing their programs. They've posted a fundraiser to help with a pretty reasonable goal. Would appreciate y'all passing this along!
legitimately one of the worst and most baffling UI decisions to ever get widespread adoption is the constant enshrinkification of critical text
Kids, if you're making a game and want to run it on a steamdeck or switch
your text size needs to be bigger
no, bigger
c'mon coward, bigger!
what is this, A GAME FOR ANTS? BIGGER

Man. It shouldn't deter anything that's going on right now and obviously the protests need to continue, but one of the ICE goons is eventually just going to lose it and open fire on a crowd and it'll probably be sooner rather than later, huh.

It’s always kinda fascinating when Dave Meltzer wants to play the useful idiot, like in claiming that WWE has been apolitical because they don’t air any of the Triple H/Trump stuff on TV.

The cynical side of me says there was EASILY a world where Kirk getting ventilated mid-racist joke marked exactly that sea change if this entire movement wasn't entirely driven by bloody-minded spite. On the other hand without that they literally have no guiding philosophy.
It's really funny that The All-American Halftime Show was announced months ago when elites were banking on a real right wing sea change, only now moms are hurling abuse at ICE, and folks are brushing up their duolingo so they can sing along with whatever Bad Bunny performs on the real halftime show.

Remembering that post that suggested average voters who feel remorse should have an onramp to redemption whereas media dipshits who enabled Trump should be shot into the sun and I'm feeling this really hard right now
As much as we want to rip them a new one for getting us into this mess, when people on the right come forward and apologize and admit they were wrong, we should probably welcome them to the light.

Dave is a lot like Jericho in that he's very smart about exactly one thing (the one thing that Jericho has historically been very smart about) but can you imagine him, like, putting together an IKEA desk
"...this chant, which really wasn’t all that loud..."

"you should see the drivers where *I* live" buddy get 'em on the plane to the games. drive like shit or get off the pot.
coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

I sometimes play a WWE-themed puzzle game on my phone to pass the time (I don't spend money in it and would switch to an AEW one if there was one). Anyway, this is the character model for their new CM Punk. Brutal.

so funny to not say dick because it's a no-no word and then immediately follow it up with the most racist thing I've heard since the official white house twitter account last night

This man has literally zero self awareness. I honestly can't decide between Cody Rhodes or Dwayne as the most out of touch person in wrestling. He really doesn't understand that nickname was ironic cause he was trying to explain racism to a black man in AEW. But this got a pop in WWE...

Honestly the contrast between how poorly Tycho has aged vs how spectacularly Strong Bad has aged shows that it was never difficult to not be a terrible writer relying on cringe slurs and shit like that. Skill issue, get on the level of The Brothers Chaps
Every time Tycho is about to speak they should flash this image on screen beforehand

if The Beautiful People joined AEW today their name would be Rayney Skies or some shit
It's fine as long as they come in with their own name and not some Jeri-Show shit like KayRoyce Inc.

I go back and forth between Tiger Millionaire (for being the best "wrestling as it is" episode) and DuckTales' The Rumble for Ragnarok!, which is sillier but full of smart references and realistic moves and the stakes are "if we don't win then Jörmungandr the World Serpent will devour existence"
Steven Universe still has the best Wrestling episode IMO. The Outrunners are even in it.

I feel like if you ask the average person who has never been into wrestling to tell you one thing about professional wrestling, they'll say "it's fake but they pretend it's real." That starting point is also the stopping point for most people, which makes it easy to fill in the blanks.
Even when people could SEE the crowd for themselves, they still just said it was a bunch of redneck hicks, because the humor works better if you just assume that all pro wrestling fans are dumb, illiterate rubes.

to be fair this is how I would feel after watching two episodes of Raw too
My favorite part of this is how quickly Russo goes from "I just want to give back to wrestling in any way I can" to "DID I JUST WATCH TWO EPISODES OF RAW FOR NOTHING?!"
Oh good lord.
