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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
