I dislike talking politics bcuz they're not my best subject, and they make me uncomfortable and depressed. But, a summation of my beliefs for those curious:

Trans men are men.
Trans women are women.
Love is love.
Black lives matter.
Women deserve bodily autonomy.
Hugs not drugs.

#Bugonia is another devilishly dark and surreal comedy driven by Yorgos Lanthimos' confident direction which serves the film up as an ominous warning to society. Check out my full thoughts on it here:

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s turn as UFC pioneer Mark Kerr is solid, but not awards-worthy in Benny Safdie’s beguiling and brutal effort to turn the sports biopic subgenre on its head. Check out why I think #TheSmashingMachine is worth seeing here: 615film.com/the-smashing...

I’m a Packers fan who predicted the Browns would finish 0-17 this season. Joke’s on me!

Netflix: We hate movie theaters and want them to go away.

Also Netflix: Let’s put KPop Demon Hunters, our surprise animated success, in movie theaters to actually make money from it!

Met Bandido at Starrcast when it was in Nashville a few years ago. I told him about how I considered lucha libre the prime definition for professional wrestling as an art form. He seemed genuinely touched and was so nice and gracious. Love seeing him succeed on a big stage! #AEWDynamite

Eh she's just always been one of those wrestlers that's always figuring out her schtick and doesn't have a personality IMO. But I've been absent from watching this company for almost a year so if things have changed, I'm man enough to eat crow lol

If AEW lets "Timeless" Toni Storm's contract expire, I will never forgive them #AEWDynamite

Kevin Allen @constructivecynic.bsky.social · Aug 7

Full disclosure: this is my first #AEWDynamite since the early days of the Death Riders storyline and since they let go my two favorite wrestlers, Malakai Black AND Pentagon. They're still trying to make Skye Blue a thing?

Kevin Allen @constructivecynic.bsky.social · Aug 7

Well, pairing Bandido with Brody King is one way to make up for botching Malakai Black! #AEWDynamite
