My politics summed up by Suzerain, and Valgslandian Socialism.
Valgslandian Socialism is a unique socialist theory drawing inspiration from Leon "Malenyev" Chavatangakwunua's Malenyevism and is the state ideology of the Democratic Republic of Valgsland This political and economic model diverges from traditional socialism by advocating for a decentralized structure based on labor union federations and peoples assemblies, rather than relying on a vanguard party of the proletariat to lead the revolution. One of the key principles of Valgslandian Socialism is its opposition to the centralization of power and authority in the hands of a single party. Instead, it promotes the establishment of labor union federations, which are seen as vital instruments for representing the interests of the working class and providing a platform for workers to participate in decision-making processes. This approach aims to empower workers and ensure that the socialist revolution is driven by the collective will of the people, rather than imposed from above by a centralized authority. Another crucial aspect of Valgslandian Socialism is its commitment to replacing the state with a federal, economic organization of society. This vision seeks to create a more egalitarian and participatory system, where decisions are made collectively through democratic processes, including people's assemblies and labor unions. In this model, regional and local governments would enjoy greater autonomy, with decision-making power devolved to the grassroots level. Hegel's theory emphasizes the importance of transitioning from a statist form of socialism to a decentralized structure in order to achieve the goals of the socialist revolution. In his view, retaining centralized control over the economy within the state apparatus would ultimately stifle innovation, hinder economic growth, and perpetuate inequality. By contrast, a decentralized system based on a federal democracy would promote cooperation, shared decision-making, and a more equitable distribution of resources.

Dispatch is a 10/10. Very much game of the year worthy. If you haven't played it, you should. All episodes are out now. I loved every minute of it, and I think this game sets a new standard for future games in it's genre.

Yes, Malevola is my favorite. www.adhocla.com

Damn man, @hangmanpage.bsky.social is not only a champion in AEW, but a champion IRL. My goat right there.
WrestlePurists @WrestlePurists Hangman Adam Page discusses distinguishing the AEW Men’s and Women’s World Championships by name: “I feel like in professional wrestling historically, it has been the case that the men's division has been billed as, you know, the World Champion… To me, that always seemed like if you have to specify that one's for the women and the other one is the World Championship, it felt like it created this hierarchy where one you're telling the viewer and the audience that one of them is more important than the other. And I don't think that's the way that our fans feel any longer. I feel like specifying myself as Men’s World Champion… maybe kind of just asks people to stop and think. Whether it's fans, the audience, or whether it's people involved in wrestling, decision makers, or the wrestlers themselves. I’ve always tried to institute small little changes in the world that I'm involved in to make the world more representative of how I feel like it truly is or should be.” (@999TheFan)

I fucking hate @schumer.senate.gov you coward
Screenshot from Twitter Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA If the Republicans are willing to nuke the filibuster in order to pass their priorities, then it only exists in order to block Democrat priorities. In other words, these centrist democrats voted to overturn this filibuster to give Republicans more power if Democrats ever win. Quote tweeting Karen Tumulty @ktumulty This was all about the filibuster.

I think this might be what the Trump administration is angling for. This is the only explanation that makes sense to me, at least. They know they're losing, and they're getting desperate. Declaring martial law, and suspending elections seems like their hail mary.
Screenshot of a Twitter post that reads: HasanAbi @hasanthehun i swear to god he's trying to start riots in this country so he can mobilize the military, declare martial law and halt elections permanently. i cannot see another reason for this kind of cruelty.

My takes on the Mercedes Mone hate. 👇

I just think it's weird when a woman goes on a belt collector arc people lose their minds, but if it's someone like a Kenny Omega people find reasons to be totally chill with it. Just like a super weird double standard. Also, no one is forcing these indie promotions to give her their belts lol

Great video from @queenofthering.bsky.social also talking about the Mercedes Mone hate. I just feel like a lot of people are just hating to hate at this point, and lack coherence. I'm loving Ultimo Mone, and I'm glad these indie promotions/wrestlers have this opportunity. youtu.be/OnYUUIFdFig?...

Been biting my tongue a little on the topic, but I'm sorry, the hate around Mercedes Mone, and her belt collector arc is wack. I could expand further into why I think so, but I genuinely think most of her haters have Mercedes derangement syndrome. Good vid by minnieportable youtu.be/ihlFlotqE8s?...

If Brody King, and Bandido both don't win either the TNT championship or the AEW Men's world heavyweight championship I am going to be extremely upset. Both of these guys deserve singles titles at the top of the card. They both can go. #AEWWrestleDream

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing
Dear President Obama, I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza." Palestinians have families, too. This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide. I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world. Love, Ms Rachel

Jane Goodall was one of the absolute goats. Rest in peace, Jane. You, and your work will will live forever. With the life she lead, she achieved immortality. A legend in the truest sense of the word. The world is made worse without Jane in it, but we must continue to honor her wishes, and her memory
At the event, Erin McCombs of the Jane Goodall Institute took the stage and announced the news of Goodall's death. A video message Goodall had recorded ahead of the event was then played, in which Goodall shared her thoughts on the environment and youth empowerment. "I've been working on trying to make this a better world for animals, people, and the environment, flat out, since 1986, and one of my greatest reasons for hope in this battered world is the youth," she began. She continued, "I think bringing together a lot of young people, who are, truly, have leadership material so they can exchange ideas and in some cases boost each other's morale -- cause sometimes it's really tough, really difficult -- so a gathering like this, I think, is a very important way ahead." "I think I find it most inspiring when I come to a gathering like this, and the fact that, compared to how I was when I was young, [young people] are so articulate, they're so passionate, that's been a real sea change," she added. "And I think it's because people have learned to listen to them, [their] voices, and enabled them to take charge. So, this is a whole different feeling." "I think that very many of the students that I've met here are already taking action, and they, hopefully, by being with their peers, they'll be inspired to take greater action," she said in her video message. "And what do they need to take action? They need a group of likeminded people who believe in themselves, who believe in the project that's really important and then see the difference that they make." She continued, "I think we're creating a critical mass of young people who understand that, yes, we need money to live, but we mustn't live for money in and of itself. Money itself is good if you use it for good, but if you're just trying to get more and more money, to get more houses, more cars, all this sort of thing, that's where it's gone wrong. This is what's led to this unsustainable lifestyle." Goodall's final advice for others was about being mindful in their everyday lives. "Think about our ecological footprint," she said. "I think the ... key thing is to realize that every day on this planet, you make a difference, and if you start thinking about the consequences of the small choices you make -- What you buy? Where did it come from? How was it made? Was there child slave labor [involved]? Did it help the environment? Would you eat it if it didn't involve cruelty to animals? -- you start thinking like that, and millions of people around the world thinking like that, then we start to get the kind of world that we cannot be too embarrassed to leave to our children."

That Paul Heyman Smackdown promo was pretty gross. Love how the WWE is just gaslighting their audience about the legitimate allegations against Brock Lesnar, and his involvement in Vince McMahon's sex trafficking lawsuit. Janel Grant's lawsuit mentions Brock 44 TIMES!

WTF ARE WE DOING, WWE!?

Going to keep it a buck, if WWE/TKO gets sold to Saudi Arabia, I'm probably going to tune out entirely from WWE. Like that would pretty much be rock bottom for the company at that point.

Which would be a massive shame because they have insane talent there. It'd be the end of an era though.
