Having a guy whose entire brand is "Never Give Up" lose his final match by giving up sure is a choice.
And look, I've never liked John Cena, but that seems so stupid. They could have had him pass out instead of tap out, still passing the torch but not ruining the brand. Idk seems dumb to me.

Are there any gimmicks or characters in WWE right now that aren't just:
"I'm the most badass" or "I'm a legacy wrestler"
The women's division seems to have more variety, but the men all look and act exactly the same, except Dom, but even he's in the legacy wrestler category.

I can only hope that Netflix buying WB and HBO Max means James Gunn will be out of a job and I won't ever have to see him ruin another DC property.

I don't want to be insulting to artists who are actually doing work themselves but a lot of the new WotC D&D books look like AI art, or painted over AI art. Netheril's Fall in particular, has this look. The pedestal and the book shelf have that wonky melted AI look.

I find it very annoying that I backed the Shelby Oaks Kickstarter three years ago, and I don't live near enough to any of the limited theatrical screenings, and I still don't have my physical or digital copies yet the movie is available on demand for anyone who didn't have to pay for the Kickstarter

I say this as a lifetime Steelers fan:
I'm so happy seeing Throw Rogan and MAGA Mason suffer and suck.
I hope this is the end of Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh. It won't be, but a man can dream.

What the hell is Tomlin / Arthur Smith doing having Washington go 1 on 1 with Sweat?
And also, another young offensively minded coach making half time adjustments against Tomlin's defense.

Steelers Prediction for the day:
They lose to the Bears after Mason plays ok at best and Rodgers goes to media saying how he was ready to go today and the decision to make him inactive is the reason they lost.

The cross section of slack jawed, dead eyed, human idiocy you see in Walmart this time of year is more staggering than ever.
Nothing makes me more terrified of human existence than the gormless faces I see zombie walking about the supermarket aisles.

I've been a NY Rangers fan for decades, with a brief hiatus during the Eric Lindros era (I couldn't cheer for that man), but honestly, they deserve to be the bottom of the Metro right now. Jettisoning Kreider was the last dumb decision since the coaching carrousel of late.

It's infuriating to see someone review a new video game and state, "The game's black and white, line drawn art style is pure Larry Elmore" when it is SO OBVIOUS the "artist" used generative AI for large portions of art. Like yeah, "Larry Elmore" was probably in the prompt.

The officiating in the Bengals Steelers game so far has been the worst I've seen in awhile. Bengals getting the shorter end, but it's been awful for both teams.

Deathstalker (2025) is the sword n sorcery remake we needed.
Add it to the list of great, low budget, modern sword n sorcery movies as The Head Hunter, Spine of Night, Red Sonja (2025), etc.
If you like Hawk the Slayer, you're gonna love the new Deathstalker.
