Kindness is the real punk rock.
By saying things like "the Supreme Court just allowed legalized racial profiling," people are really underselling the importance and scope of yesterday's ruling.

It gave the Trump administration carte blanche to target groups that are deemed threats, and they've already called Democrats terrorists.

A reminder to everyone...

Just because there's "Yakety Sax" playing over an increasingly fascistic and Nazi adjacent administration doesn't mean it's not still fascistic and Nazi adjacent.

Or more succinctly: a Nazi clown is still a Nazi.

Why do I keep feeling like I'm being called to go for a really, really long walk?

I'm nobody people would listen to. I'm not even a pastor or someone who can quote scripture.

And why does that call only seem to get stronger after praying about it?

I hope for our children and grandchildren's sake that future holidays like "Mar a Lago Day," or when people stormed and occupied Mar a Lago, happen in a major holiday desert like July to October.

I know Labor Day exists and all, but it's not even really allowed to fulfill it's original purpose.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Why isn't there any "Kindness is punk rock" or "kindness is the new punk rock" #Superman merch?

#Superman was such an amazing movie. Bright, colorful, and full of hope it manages to be both a reverent and faithful depiction of the character while bringing in timely elements.

Plus, we finally have the single best representation of Luthor's motivations and personality on the big screen.

Can somebody please explain how we can simultaneously be the "shining city on the hill," the land of opportunity, and the richest country on the planet, yet we also have more than 1/8 our population unable to feed itself?

And that our country's answer to that fourth part is to give them less help?

We've become so self-segregated that we're putting an onus of purity on ourselves and our groups to the point where we're pushing away those who doesn't fit into narrow parameters.

It's recursive, unsustainable, and will eventually lead to a group's demise or being subsumed by a fringe replacement.

So there was a decent thunderstorm that spawned a tornado that touched down 4 miles from where we live and even closer to where my wife and I were at the time.

There wasn't even the faintest hint of a warning about it, and we only found out about it after the fact.

This will probably come off as incredibly cynical, and you're free to read it the way if you wish whereas I mean it rather matter-of-factly...

The arrest and the video of it is possibly the single best thing for Brad Lander's mayoral candidacy and if he wins will likely be the reason why.

I know it's due to years of development and other boring, actual answers, etc, etc, etc...

But I just have to ask for my own sake. Exactly who's idea was it in the history of the development of Florida to just decide "you know what? Fuck shade," and got rid of all the trees?

"You wanna go to war, B-law-kay?"

It works for both WarGames or a feud.

Personally, I'm in wait and see mode with "Blake Monroe" and her.. "vamping" of Sabrina Carpenter, which kinda puts her in the "generic blonde" role WWE seems to enjoy.

Time will tell if Toni's promo holds true.

Since he's in the news, again...

If you were like me and checked out of wrestling until AEW came along so you completely missed CM Punk's "voice of the voiceless" run, does all of this seem worth it?

I was excited when he signed because I'd heard he was this epic signing...

I feel like if someone suddenly buys a Jeep or becomes a "Jeep person," that that should warrant a wellness check from friends and family to find out what's going on.

I wish the best for Mariah in WWE.

But man is it going to take a lot for her booking there to not always be compared to that promo Toni cut on her during the face to face sit down before the Hollywood Ending.

Making her intro be part of a huge promo train didn't do her any favors, either.
June 4, 2025 at 5:29 PM
Is it me or have the jumps to WWE since the creative boom been purposely put on NXT, like it's some attempt to make a false equivalency?

And yes, I know AEW has been great for awhile now, but it feels like if the buzz wasn't just recently back, Mariah would've been on the main roster. #wrestlesky

From start to finish, the Mariah May run in AEW was amazing.

Will I miss her and miss her and Mina's story continuing? Of course.

Do I wish her the best? Definitely.

Can WWE top Mariah May's booking and the Hollywood Ending? Good luck.

All the pressure is on you now, WWE.

You know, if #AEW was a regular TV show and it had the same kind of drama and tension between characters like Hangman and Ospreay, I'd actually be disappointed if there wasn't a smash cut to them getting out of bed together in the next scene.

Does anyone else feel like even if they try not to focus or dwell on doom news, that simply because we exist in the world and can see it without wanting to, that their anxiety has ratcheted up significantly since the election?

Sone of the best places you can go these days are where members of our military can speak honestly, such as www.reddit.com/r/Military/.

Even in the best of times, our servicemen, servicewomen, and veterans deserve our complete support, and when they're facing an uncertain future, even moreso.

I was very confused when I saw NXT trending last night but clicked the tab only to find it empty, until I remembered I'd muted the hashtag due to the live bleeters drowning out #wrestlesky.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and enjoyment, but I don't need to see you posting "ouch!" every 30 seconds.

Today has been such a day already that I just spent the past few minutes scrolling through someone's page wondering why my feed was full of posts from primarily one person.

What's everyone's go to podcast for #AEW coverage that's unbiased, entertaining, and features people that seem genuinely interested in or excited for the product?

This weekend has been depressing to see just how easy it is for people to go along with the boring and banal with a thinly coated, thick corpo-fascist center with a side of sexual assault, so long as the colors and music is vibrant enough to let them relive overly-mined nostalgia.
