I collect a ton of things, mainly old media, video games, and cards. I've played Magic for 14 years and I've worked on a tabletop racing game for almost 7 years. Sports fan, including the Carolina Hurricanes and other NC teams. Also pansexual. He/Him/His

Here are my Fire Pro boxing packs based on fight cards from the past, present, and future.

This'll be so I can keep up with everything and make it easier to access my stuff.
The talent in wrestling has always made me happy to be a fan, regardless of what acronym they wrestle under. I've had great interactions with talent on both sides of "the war", especially after breaking free from X over a year ago.

It gives me drive to continue following everything they do.
YouTube is down.

Tell me something about wrestling that makes you happy. 🤼

Same. The AI bubble isn't worth the effort of being part of and people that push the tech aren't mature enough to understand the world around them, so I'll just wait for it all to burst and see these techbros have to figure out how to say "please pull up to the 2nd window" to be less of a detriment.
Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

I genuinely wonder how these wrestling old heads like Kevin Nash don't have SOMEONE in their inner circle to tell them "Hey. Maybe don't make this comment public to people." when they're about to say something stupid.

Maybe they do and they just don't listen to them. It's infuriating regardless.

As someone who fits the description of what he talks about in White and Nerdy, I have to go with White and Nerdy.

When the rapper you're parodying is giving you praise for the fast rapping sections in your parody, you know you did a good job.
you are all fools the REAL music question that will cause intergenerational warfare on bluesky is actually: what is weird al's signature song?

I remember when they made the initial change to Leagues where they wouldn't show all the decklists we wanted and people justified the change at the time (including some folks responsible for making format decisions).

I wonder what they'd have to say about this frankly ridiculous change.
I swear to god, Wizards can't get out of their own god damned way sometimes.

They are making Magic Online change what decklists get published. Only the Top 8 decklists will get posted for challenges under 64 players.

This Tony Clark MLBPA stuff is the most 2026 way imaginable for MLB to start it's Spring Training/Regular Season news cycle.

With a lockout looming and the league needing to avoid any drama for itself, this somehow manages to make even more drama than the WBC insurance stuff ever could.
February 18, 2026 at 1:23 AM
When we get out the other side of this, videos like this are gonna be shared for all time in bewilderment of how people like these two had any level of importance for anyone in this country.

They actually look like they're made from plastic and leather too.
Who's up for an official U.S. government video showing RFK Jr. working out with Kid Rock and doing a cold water plunge in jeans

This is what I figured was gonna happen. This wasn't just gonna affect one part of the tech industry. The entire industry is likely toast when this bubble bursts, which will also take the economy with it.

The 2008 housing crisis is gonna look like a slight inconvenience.
“.. ‘many system vendors will go bankrupt or exit product lines due to a lack of memory. Mobile phone production will be reduced by 200-250 million units, and PC and TV production will be significantly reduced.’ Yikes.”

The upcoming multi-season lockout just had another twist added to it.
MLBPA executive director Tony Clark resigned after an internal investigation revealed he had an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law, who had been hired by the union in 2023, sources tell Jeff Passan and Don Van Natta Jr.

A wrestling show, but instead of wrestling, the talent just plays Race Day Revamped as themselves, including their own driver cards, and the track being used is the parking lot of the venue the event is at.

Genius idea.
Damn tough competition
February 17, 2026 at 8:11 PM
Can't wait for the AI techbros to poor shame us for this like they always do when it comes to parts inflated by the bubble.

Maybe when the bubble bursts, they'll learn that knowing what shoes their favorite CEO wears based on the taste isn't a good personality and they'll put the fries in the bag.

Would anyone be surprised if I said I won more Race Day related diecasts from Japan?

I bid on a couple of Williams diecasts from Book Off and won them.

It's obviously the all new Dodge Caliber.
What/who do you think is in the crate?

It can't be open until the WWE Elimination Chamber.

More people in wrestling should use their platforms to embarrass Raj Giri until he finally gets the hint and disappears from the internet.

The more we embarrass Raj, the better chance we'll have of finally ridding ourselves of his nonsense.

Buy a PSP from me for $100 instead. You get more for your money that way.

That's why I've said this won't just take out one sector of the tech industry when the bubble pops. The whole industry is likely to end up crippled to hell and back at the minimum, if not completely dead.

Nothing comes out of this without issues, so we're in for a rough time.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.
February 16, 2026 at 10:23 PM
Honestly, it won't just ruin consumer electronics on the micro level. It'll straight up kill off or at minimum cripple the entire tech industry once the AI bubble bursts.

This goes far beyond consoles being more expensive. This is an entire industry potentially being at risk.
this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fetterman had such potential when he got elected originally, so to see him make this hard right turn is both unfortunate and a pretty good summary of the Democratic party's current issues.

But remember: Vote Blue No Matter Who or totally "authentic" accounts with resist hashtags will insult you.

For @redfade.bsky.social , Laguna Seca is finally done. Took about 5 dozen program freezes and several redos of corners, but it's finally ready to print.

A bit of jankiness in spots, but it still seems to be fit for purpose.

It's 2026 and people are still buying Ubisoft branded games.

That is a tragedy in itself. I swear, I must be the only person in gaming community history that can boycott anything. My boycott of new EA products has gone on for over a decade and the Ubisoft one is similar in length.

I think the most important thing for me about the signing of The IInspiration is Tony is showing he will shell out the big bucks to load up his women's division to be a supernova.

That to me signals he's gonna be in on Bayley, Charlie, Shayna, and the like when he's able to sign them.

Do it, Tony.

I'm glad Rukus decided to come back here. He would've been very justified in leaving this platform behind after the very toxicity that has been pointed out previously reared it's ugly head towards him, but he came back.

Hopefully people don't chase him off again.
I took a week to take a step back and re-evaluate many things. I am and have been uniformed about a lot.

Simply put.

I’m going to do better.

I'd like to apologize to Rob Manfred for every bad thing I've ever said about him. Looming lockout aside, he's at least made SOME good changes (pitch challenging looks good, pitch clock is neat).

Adam Silver saw bad regular season ratings and has only managed to make them worse. He needs to go.

Gonna be honest, this surprises me a bit. I love these two a fair bit, but I don't really know if they fit the AEW style like the other folks they've brought in this year.

I really really hope this isn't Tony adding for the sake of adding and making the same mistakes he made from 2020-2023 or so.
