It might be easier to get behind if they had really hammered home the philosophical direction Moxley wants to take AEW in, and what Darby was trying to defend. Currently it seems a little vague if the stakes are supposed to be existential for both guys.

Tony had a hard time adding stakes to storytelling that don't involve people fighting over the imaginary "heart and soul" of AEW. A lot of characters suffer from arrested development because of it.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

He heard somebody use anthropomorphic once, had no idea what it meant, and just decided to let that bitch fly.

NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

There's a lot of commonalities between Weiss and her benefactors. She combines the preening self-aggrandizement of the politicians she seems to admire with the eternal adolescence that she shares with the techno-libertarianism of Silicon Valley billionaires. They couldn't find a better propagandist.

I could rattle off at least 15 memorized numbers from my childhood but I couldn't tell you the phone number of anyone I've met in the last 20 years.
bleary.off-the-records.com
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

LIV Golf, WWE, UFC, Soccer, F1, this comedy festival, all the same game of chess. Pay people ostensibly for sports and entertainment, but the money carries forward to when they go home and normalize Saudi cultural relations with the West in the process of defending their own greed.

Butker is so washed Andy Reid is spooked by 40 yard field goals and gambling on 4th and short.

People just don't like regime sycophants being given control over the entire information ecosystem. The last thing this moment needs is some new age Walter Duranty running one of America's most hallowed news rooms.

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

News footage from Portland shows a calm, tranquil city. But an AI video that Stephen Miller texted to Donald Trump shows the city as a burning hellhole. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

ICE official testifies that DHS “prematurely” sent Abrego Garcia a notice that he would be removed to Ghana.

Just this morning, Ghana’s foreign minister wrote on X that the country had “directly and unambiguously conveyed to US authorities” that Abrego cannot be deported there.

Ghana is not accepting Abrego Garcia.
He cannot be deported to Ghana.
This has been directly and unambiguously conveyed to US authorities.
In my interactions with US officials, I made clear that our understanding to accept a limited number of non-criminal West Africans, purely on the grounds of African solidarity and humanitarian principles would not be expanded.
Ghana strongly objects to these misleading media reports.
