Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

genuinely emotional and moving match enough to bring a tear to the eye. Jon Moxley has all time instincts and Darby Allin is a once in a lifetime wrestler. there will never be another

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

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.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

we need every attorney alive working round the clock on this Andrade case. Mortos, Otunga, Clarence Mason, Phoenix Wright, Luchasaurus got an MBA, Harvey Whippleman looked smart, spare no expense

The Don Callis Family is evil but they have a very good vibe about them overall. Lotta good elements at play: They have retreats, throw parties for each other, they have a guy with a fat ass, three luchadors, two gorgeous Japanese dudes. 🤼‍♂️
