Welcome to Bluesky. Here is your copy of the Communist Manifesto and a season pass to AEW Dynamite for some reason.

Oh I definitely expect them to do something to allow the White House around block lists. But there isn't anyone right now throwing a fit. People just saw the dumb shit, blocked it, and walked away.

Aaron - GrapPro.com @aaron.wrotkowski.ca · 19h

It's hilarious that over on Twitter there's a bunch of conservatives thinking Bluesky users are freaking out about them here and instead Bluesky users just passed around blocking lists and don't care.

You questioned the existence of Lou Thesz on the Wrestling Classics message board and asked where it was when absolutely everyone who went to the classics board in the 90s/00s knew about the Lou Thesz forum. Maybe you didn't intend to, but you acted very much like a bad faith reply.

Samoa Joe has tapped Hangman Adam Page out. It wasn't the Page we see today as world champion, but it doesn't matter. He's done it before. He can do it again.

You expect me to believe that these are real time zones? Mountain time? What, does every mountain have its own time zone? Davis Time? One guy named Davis has his own time? You're trying to convince me Greenwich Mean Time is real? One shitty town in Connecticut gets its own timezone? Pishaw!

It'll be a cold day in hell before anybody from the east coast acknowledges the validity of other time zones

deez driven design @thehippo.dev · 1d

I appreciate that Hangman has done so much work to call it the “AEW Men’s World Championship” to put it on the same level as the Women’s championship

But then also turns around and is like “fuck you it’s EST and Other”

I'll tag @edzitron.com in this again but in the replies just because I think he'd have a chuckle about it.

This appears to be legitimate so I'll repost it.

WWE is now using AI storytelling and will use it more and more now that Paul Levesque is neglecting his duties to try to get into politics.

So far the best it has come up with is Bobby Lashley (now in AEW) becoming Tensai.

WWE has a contract with Writer AI, a platform which has already been fed WWE content.

Cyrus Kowsari was hired last month as the new Senior Director of Creative Strategy. He had previously been a Producer for Buzzfeed from 2016 to 2022 and for ONE, the MMA company, from 2022 until last month. He was introduced to the creative staff by Paul Levesque.

In introducing him, Levesque said that Kowsari would lead WWE’s transition to AI based story telling and integrate AI into creative services like video and graphics. He said that this shift is inevitable when it comes to creative in pro wrestling.

Kowsari said he would both manage AI storytelling and be a liaison to the White House as Levesque is taking on more duties in politics in some form.

Thus far the AI software has come up with what one person with knowledge of the situation called absurdly bad storylines. They pitched a storyline where Bobby Lashley, who the AI thought was still with the company, could come back as a wrestler who was obsessed with Japanese culture and history.

The feeling is once bugs are worked out that AI will begin to have major impact on storyline direction.

Another promotion previously tested out AI for creative help and suggestions and found it couldn’t understand pro wrestling and storylines.

Can someone who still subscribes to Wrestling Observer confirm if the AI Cyrus Kowsari story was in it?

TLDR never be rude to waitstaff even if they are rude to you. You'll get further being polite in the ways they should have been and reporting their behaviour straight to the manager.
