He does this every Friday.

AEW is never going to fit neatly into the moral purity box you want to put them in and that's okay. They are not perfect, but they do try to be inclusive and socially aware, that's all we can really ask for.

The biggest revelation from this video is that just removing the graphene pad, putting some better thermal paste on, and using a copper shim with a thermal pad gives a TREMENDOUS boost to performance for the Neo, which is already punching well above its weight class. Apple killed it with this.

Members of the AEW Fan Hub community talk about what it might be like if Swerve Strickland becomes an EVP, who might have attacked Toni Storm, and more! youtu.be/cNVIAZA2hvQ?... #aewfanhub #aew #wrestlesky #prowrestling

I hope J.K. Rowling is having a horrible day today. This is an evergreen post.

Peter Thiel’s takeaway from the Middle-earth Legendarium is that Smaug, Saruman, and Sauron had the right ideas. The fact that he owns a surveillance company named Palantir and a military contracting firm named Anduril is an infuriating perversion of Tolkien’s work. Makes my blood boil.

OpenAI goes belly-up within the next 18 months. You heard it here first.

Halloween II is the best Halloween sequel. It’s got unique cinematography, a memorable score, and a satisfying, definitive conclusion to the Myers/Strode story. They should not have made any more Michael Myers movies after that. Especially that abomination of a film called Halloween Ends.

To be fair, I lost interest in Star Trek after DS9. But that's more of a "me" issue than a "Star Trek" issue.

Please God let this happen. As an aside, it’s been kinda fun to clown on Mike Tomlin over the past two decades. HOWEVER I suspect we are going to find out very soon just how much of that shitshow he was holding together in Pittsburgh. Spoiler: He was holding a lot. #NFL

Twisted Squeal and No Appeal #WrestleSky

Right wing evangelicals look at Israel’s colonizer ethos and voluntary transition to monarchy as something to emulate. What they fall to understand is that the Old Testament, allegorically speaking, is instance after instance of Israel fucking up and suffering steep consequences for it.

My decision to drive to Santa Fe in September instead of flying turned out to be quite prescient.

My Pumpkins? Smashing.

The origin story of Israel is taking other people’s land by force in the name of God. We did the same thing and called it Manifest Destiny. Zealots see themselves in Israel. Deep down, they believe if they follow that example, they’ll prove themselves to be God’s chosen people, too. It’s sick.

I’ve lost 40lbs since October on my GLP-1. I’m on good mood stabilizer medicine and I’m sleeping relatively well. But my energy hasn’t picked up at all. I hoped maybe I could turn things around enough to recapture at least some of my youthful vigor. I don’t want to feel used up like this. 😔

I wish I still gave a shit about the NCAA Tournament. I used to be a mega sports nerd. College basketball. NBA. MLB. NFL. All of it. Now pro football is the only sport I truly enjoy, and honestly, that’s waning. It’s weird to watch it all happen.

Sharing this again in tribute to Dennis Condrey. Godspeed, Loverboy. #WrestleSky

Hey @bsky.app… You do realize that sex workers and mutual aid communities were a big part of keeping this whole place alive long enough to even be around when Twitter collapsed. Right? Well. It was fun while it lasted. For whom does the enshittification bell toll? It tolls for thee.

Can we do Steven Seagal next?

Can we do Steven Seagal next?

I would buy the WWE and the World Wildlife Foundation, re-brand back to the WWF, and run regular charity shows to raise money for wildlife and conservation. #WrestleSky

Well they did cave on the shutdown when they had all the leverage in the world and got… *checks notes* Nothing. That’s right. They got NOTHING in return. If the opposition party isn’t going to, you know, OPPOSE things like this, then they deserve to take some shit.

One of most insidious things about online activism is the implicit pressure it puts on people to be absolutely perfect all the time. You’re not evil because you ordered from Amazon today. It’s okay to like your iPhone. Be informed and find your own small ways to contribute. Live your life.

Jesus. Fucking. God. I’m about done with social media. Absolute lunacy. We are absolutely cooked as a species.

No one is going to pass your purity tests 100% of the time. If you can’t accept that human beings are messy and find a measure of grace for those who are actually brave enough to own their fuckups, you’re going to end up being a bitter person who is miserable to be around. If you aren’t already.

The eventual moral of the story is going to be that there are times in life when breaking a promise is actually the right thing to do. #Spoiler #AEW

I know this is a dubious ask, but do I have any followers/moots here who could hook a brother up with a .edu email address?

This is why I use AI mostly to help me find relevant passages/convergent narrative threads in my corpus of existing source materials on a given topic. Or to clean up old and degraded spoken word audio. Stuff it can actually do well. That I can check. And not, you know, writing legal briefs.

I wonder if it’s occurred to the AEW crashouts yet that this is almost certainly the story Hangman himself wants to tell. Crashouts: “We love you forever!” Hangman: “Great! I have a compelling new story idea for you!” Crashouts: “No! Not like that!”

Bluesky after Hangman lost:

So DLSS 5... "Okay, team. Here's the strategy. Let's make GPUs better at *not* rendering frames.* *The Nvidia board of directors bursts into furious applause as Jensen Huang blows his nose with a wad of $100 bills.*

Apple is buying MotionVFX. Subscriptions aren't great, but if this is the model for Creator Studio, they are going to be offering a TON of value to the consumer at a compelling price point. They are about to curb stomp Adobe. If this is what post-Tim Cook era Apple will look like, count me in.

I guess I picked the wrong era to go though my blackjack and hookers phase. If I’d waited 20 years, I could have built a podcast empire.

Today just drives home to me that #WrestleSky as we once knew it is totally dead. It honestly feels like Twitter here now. Makes me sad.

If Seattle gets its team back, I might start watching the NBA again.

Mega-heel Swerve wins the belt, goes on a reign of terror, beating everyone. He gets paranoid that the only reason he's champ is because Hanger can't challenge him. He makes Hangman's life miserable until he agrees to break his word and fight him for the belt. It fucking writes itself. #AEW

At WrestleMania VII in March of 1991, Randy Savage lost a career vs. career match to the Ultimate Warrior and was forced to retire from the WWF. Storylines would bring Savage back to the ring in December of 1991. This is not a post about Randy Savage.

At Halloween Havoc 1994, Ric Flair lost a career vs. career match against Hulk Hogan, forcing him to retire from WCW. Storylines put Flair back in the ring by mid-1995. This is not a post about Ric Flair. #AEW

And this is why Marina Shafir is wrestling Toni Storm tonight on a sold out pay-per-view, while someone like Anna Jay is likely on her way out. You can get ahead in #AEW if you want to, but you’ve gotta put in the reps on your own time if you’re not getting booked on TV. It’s non-negotiable.

If you ever see this account post anything negative about: -Madonna -Stevie Nicks -Hunter S. Thompson -Wood oven-fired pizza -The Pacific Northwest -80's slasher movies Or anything positive about: -Microsoft -J.K. Rowling -Evangelicals -Jordan Peterson -Basalmic vinegar ... I've been hacked.

Incidentally, To Live and Die in LA is a criminally underrated movie.

Honestly? I'm relieved. We would get a #Buffy show without Dawn and likely without Xander. That's not great. Also, the trend of reboots is wearing thin altogether. The original series stands on its own merits. Let it be what it is. We don't need more Buffy. We need more heroes *like* Buffy.

Real men aren't afraid of smart women. Real men aren't afraid of confident women. Real men aren't afraid of outspoken women. Real men aren't afraid of successful women. Real men aren't afraid of powerful women. Real. Men. Are. Not. Afraid. Of. Women. Real men value them as equals.

David Finlay, they could never make me hate you

I would straight up slap this man if he said this to me. I use AI every day for things like transcription, data analysis, pattern recognition, etc. Those are just fancy language tools, though. It's not really "intelligence" at all. Not everything can be commoditized, nor should it be.
