Their act has never been for me, but not everything has to be for me. If people enjoy it, hell yeah, happy for those people. If not, there's plenty of other good stuff happening to enjoy. The world sucks. Find stuff you love and cling to it.

Headed to the site and it appears this run will be taking orders until next Tuesday 2/17 at noon. I assume Eastern time, because the store’s phone number is a Michigan area code, but I could be wrong.
Heads up!
If you missed out on the ABOLISH ICE shirts from AEW'S Brody King, he is doing a FOURTH run where proceeds will go to benefit those affected by ICE!
This is the second run specifically for those affected by ICE in Minneapolis. ❤️
It begins at noon est TODAY!!!

Yeah, I already don’t use Discord much despite being on a few servers with friends and fellow media types. It will not break my heart to lose it.
Discord will soon require face scans or ID for all users, or restrict access

Discord has announced a major change coming to the service as part of its aim to improve teen safety features. Starting in March, all users globally will be required to submit age verification via a face scan or submitted ID, or be given teen-level access restrictions.

Today is as good as any for any White House reporter to ask about Trump's cognitive health. If you're trying to preserve your access to get the future scoop on a nuclear missile launch, maybe consider helping the rest of us prevent it from getting to that point.

There’s no way that another brief title reign and putting it on Brody in Australia was the plan. No way. But this is such a fantastic opportunity to pivot with someone that has such a groundswell of support, and is such a different type of champion than most of the guys you’ve had in #AEW to date. 🤼

My AJ hot take: if he shows up in #AEW? Cool. I hope Ospreay gets his dream match. If he doesn’t? Cool. The roster is packed and doing great stuff. Hope he’s happy regardless.
AJ Styles was a big topic of conversation at AEW last week. Nobody seems to know his official status, but if he becomes available, everyone we spoke to in AEW believes he will be approached by them.

The age where anyone gave a shit about newspaper endorsements is long gone. This is just petulant pearl clutching in service of a stale tradition a decade past its relevance. Good for @katmabu.bsky.social for not entertaining this drivel.
From the Editorial Board: Kat Abughazaleh made a show of declining (sending a spokesman, for goodness sake) to be part of the editorial board’s endorsement interviews after first informing us she would attend.

This is not only gross doomerism, but it assumes these are competent fascists. They aren’t. They aren’t even competent human beings.
If they had some Machiavellian master plan, they wouldn’t be losing their shit about redistricting everywhere they can think of to gain a seat or two here or there.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

The closest thing I have to a Jericho hot take is I kinda liked him on commentary. I thought when he was doing Rampage, he was pretty decent when he wasn't trying to get his own shit over.
Catch is: there isn't a single color man in AEW that I would put him in the booth ahead of. Not one.

Gabe being in AEW to attack Darby, but not Andrade, who he’s fighting at New Beginning, is funny to me.
But then again, Andrade represents the Don Callis Family in AEW, but he’s the money man for United Empire in NJPW, so it’s already something of a tangled web anyway. #AEWCollision

His #ROH run was so good. Debuted in early 2011 as Nana's killer in The Embassy, early 2012, beat Jay Lethal in a TV Title Proving Ground match, came back from a knee injury in 2013 and advanced to the semis of the vacant World Title tournament, late 2013 won the TV Title, and by 2015 was a top guy.
This quote specifically positioned AEW as the HOT TERRITORY. A publicist’s dream effortlessly executed:
“If I wrestled in the 90s, I’d wanna be a part of ECW… Early 2000s, you wanna be a part of Ring of Honor. I was lucky I got to do that a little bit. 1/2.

A fantastic interview with Tommaso Ciampa and @rick-ucchino.bsky.social. Between this and him smooching Mark Briscoe, I don’t know if he could be off to a better start in AEW: www.si.com/fannation/wr...

In ROH, as @shutupexcalibur.bsky.social mentioned, Tommaso Ciampa is 1-0 lifetime against Mark Briscoe. But their lone singles match was way back in November 2013.
He also pinned Mark in a three way also involving Jay Lethal a couple weeks prior. #AEW #WatchROH 🤼

So, we want to train you to use AI in your post-graduate work, whether you like it or not, but if you use it at all while you’re in school, fuck you, we’re going to penalize the hell out of you. Is that about what I’m getting here?
“Amid accusations of AI cheating, some students are turning to a new group of generative AI tools called ‘humanizers.’ The tools scan essays and suggest ways to alter text so they aren’t read as having been created by AI. Some are free, while others cost around $20 a month.”
To avoid accusations of AI cheating, college students are turning to AI
Students are taking new measures, such as dumbing down their work, spying on themselves and using AI “humanizer” programs, to beat accusations of cheating with artificial intelligence.
