Ben Casual, on the internet! Pinned post updated July 2025 @bencasual Snapchat, Discord, Steam, Paypal, Venmo @comfycasual Instagram @casual Bandcamp @heavenlychair Twitch, Twitter @benc SpaceHey @ben.casual@eldtrich.cafe Mastodon And if you don't know, now you know! ✌️

Sickos, prepare your asses for an unending symphony of undisputed violence. In 2026, AEW and Ilja is a damn perfect fit. This year is so chock full of great signings, and it makes me happy as a wrestling fan to see my favorite weekly tv shows get better and better.

He arrived in AEW at #AEWWrestleDream, and now it’s official: Ilja Dragunov is All Elite!

For the first time in my life, the Milwaukee Brewers are going to the World Series! THEY HAVE DESTROYED THE BIG MONEY DODGERS! DO IT FOR BOB UECKER!!

To Alvin and to all men who don't care about kids: Put your fucking dick away. I love being a dad, and my daughter is very much a daddy's girl. Joy: we went over fire safety rules in our house after firefighters visited her school. She giggled as I crawled down the stairs to show how to stay low.

this is so fucking sad

There's two logical options here: either you (read: the state government) want her to be dead, so make her dead; or, she has served her sentence and should be released. This weird middle ground where she's recovering but could still be executed makes no sense. It's literal state-sponsored torture.

Me: why am I suddenly seeing Rumbleverse posts online? Internet: *vibecoded private server project* Oh. I see. Hmm. Well maybe if it's hype enough we get a non-vibecoded official update? But I will wait until I see the IG folks make a decision. Yeah I want Rumbleverse back but not like that.

hi if you also think the new firefox update is ugly and space inefficient: type about:config to address bar, enter, hit yes search "nova" set browser.nova.enabled to false it doesn't revert everything, but it gets rid of the space wasting Round

Tonight, internet strangers, I would like to tell you a tale about "Just Do The Thing". Whether you have ADHD, a short attention span, a lack of drive, or something else, if The Thing takes a few minutes, it's probably time to Just Do The Thing. I am extremely guilty of this, and here's a story:

Tonight, she asked again. Heck it, let's try right now. I'm pretty sure I've had the new watch for three years now (!!). After trying a method with a small clamp to get the engraved back on the new watch, it works! The watch is up and running again. It took me like 20 minutes. Just Do The Thing.

Addendum: I found a picture in my camera roll from when the new watch arrived. August 2nd, 2023. I literally held onto these watches for over three years. I don't have any valid excuses here. I didn't Do The Thing, then tonight I Did The Thing, and it was easy. I need to hold myself accountable.

I was successful in replacing my batteries, and my mom asked me to replace a battery in her husband's watch. It's got a back that you have to pry off and push back on. I broke the stem inside on my first attempt, so I went online and bought a replica.

I bought a replica not only because I broke the first watch, but because the back of this watch is engraved, and we needed that intact. New watch arrives a couple weeks later. I stop focusing on watch repair. My mom asks occasionally to get the watch prepped. I feel terrible that I haven't.

Years ago, back when I had a desk job and a desire to get tinkering, I bought a watch repair kit. My intent was to replace all the batteries in my watches myself, as I was once a person who wouldn't ever go out without a watch and a hat.

It's time, everyone. Sucks that AEW has to do another tribute show, but they're damn good at it. I'm going to hear a lot of positive things about a man also named Ben, and I can't promise a tear-free night.

All Elite Wrestling@allelitewrestling.com

Tonight, All Elite Wrestling will honor the life, career and legacy of one of the greatest people we've ever known, PAC. Join us at the top of the hour at 8e/7c for #AEWDynamite A Tribute to PAC on TBS and HBO Max, tonight.

Got me. The tears hit again. It damn sucks that good people don't always stick around long enough in this life. It damn sucks.

#AEWDynamite

Remembered to download almost everything I got through previous Kickstarters for @mst3kofficial.bsky.social on the Gizmoplex before it shut down, except for Season 13. Thanks for the memories Joel but selling the rights (and getting new Rifftrax episodes) was probably for the best, in the end.

People will see this and say Hell Yeah. I'm people. Hell Yeah. Now just fucking legalize it everywhere, you bloated turds we call "leaders". (THC/CBD drinks and gummies feel like a revolution, they even make mints now)

Supermarket weed. Weed from the supermarket.

My wife: "I don't get emotional like you do with wrestlers." Okay but they are entertainers, just like you celebrate the lives of Hayden, Paul Walker, Robin Williams... "I just don't get it, is all" That's how much I care about wrestling, I suppose. Sigh. RIP fellow Benjamin, and thank you.

Holy shit, Pac died? What the hell...

I don't typically engage with Substack, for reasons related to their ownership and promotion, but I implore people to read this post. So many problems in our society run parallel to what happened to this family.

I can't believe we get to say it. The Brewers have one hundred wins this year. Best Brewers team in history. Time to get the ring!

If one has decided to talk out of both sides of their mouth, it's really just lying for personal gain. And I'm out of patience for people with no morals in 2026. This world is already fucked enough, man. Thank you for the info Lizz, and consider me a former follower of DJ Cutman. Just disappointed.

Lizz Robinett@lizzrobinett.com

Reminder that DJ Cutman runs a Suno AI slop farm called “Snuggle Bunch”, aimed specifically at children. The same man that publicly denounced the use of gen AI, yet has been actively using it for monetary gain (as recently as last week)

In 2008, the Brewers *finally* made the playoffs and I started jumping on the couch. Years and years of Bob Uecker getting us fans through woeful seasons. Today? I'm pumped of course, but the Brewers making the playoffs is darn near the baseline now. It's time for this team to hit it big. Go Crew!

Tonight, with a win and a Cubs loss, the NL Central division title is in Milwaukee for the fourth year in a row. They locked up a playoff spot last week, and it's a steady pace to get the number one seed in the NL standings in back-to-back years. Will this be The Year??

Jeffrey Epstein's friend Mall Handjob Robert Kraft, and milquetoast dorkwad "Neutral" Ed Sheeran, sure did show all of us! Wow we really got got by the genocide-supporting white guys!

Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com

Ed Sheeran’s tour of North and South America was plunged into chaos Tuesday when four of his supporting acts — including his touring band — abruptly quit in solidarity with the rapper Macklemore, who was dropped for making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.

Ben Casual reposted

fuck Ed Sheeran, fuck Pink and every single "neutral" person out there. you cannot be "neutral" during an active genocide. Have some balls and speak the fuck up. Free Palestine, always!

I am willing to sacrifice the Green Bay Packers season if it means the Milwaukee Brewers finally bring home the ring. It's September, it's still baseball season.

25 years ago, the same bigots who ramped up their anti-Muslim rhetoric after 9/11 are now celebrating our drugged up president for being bonesaw buds with the country that trained the hijackers. "We Will Never Forget" was just marketing.

Me + @celestialsofa.bsky.social + daughter. First AEW live show for the little one! Well this is pretty darn cool news

Once upon a time, Malakai Black's unexpected debut was my loudest pop in my living room for an AEW appearance. Today, The New Level was so highly anticipated in my mind that I dreamed about it two nights ago. Austin and Kofi, am I happy to see you All Elite! @swerveconfident.bsky.social king shit.

I don't think I'm allowed to admit to people I know and/or work with regularly that Crash (1996) is my favorite movie of all time. I often relinquish that choice to Michael Clayton, another excellent dialogue heavy film. Crash is so weird and so dirty and so so good at telling its story.

Willow Catelyn Maclay@willowcatelyn.bsky.social

David Cronenberg seems to always bring out the best in me, and it is always a joy to come back to his work. I wrote about CRASH for my reader's choice series. It might be my favorite film of his. www.patreon.com/willowcately...

My wife: why are you obsessed with these videos [on youtube of people doing DJ sets in cozy/unusual places]? You can't even understand these lyrics! Me: for one, because it's authentic. It's not some AI genre bend, it's a real person playing real music. And [as I listen to a jazz set] it's comfy.

Seeing this reply to Bluesky's newest DDoS (was this one self made too? Who knows!) was pretty funny. Once it came out that the owner of the mentioned account was messaging kids, he fled. This is a different scandal from the animal name whitewashing that was revealed years ago.

Casually winding down for the night by listening to... Vanessa Williams. My music interests are vast, and "The Comfort Zone" is absolutely my jam. And if anyone pours more fuel on the fire, Toni Braxton will be next up. 🎶

I think it's about time to figure out how @stream.place works. And yes, I know that I follow a few dozen creators on Twitch/Youtube/etc that use it as a job (primary or otherwise), but they're trying to make your lives worse at every turn. I don't know what the future holds, but... good luck. 🫡

they know we don't want it. they do not care.

My account turns 19 soon (thanks JTV) and I wonder if the Amazonization of this site is us approaching rock bottom. Large corporations demanding endless resources, most of which they intend to steal from us. Where is the finish line? Because I hope it's not with a ruined, uninhabitable planet...
