I once chased a bear. I need a place to dump my thoughts on AEW, sports, and the hell that the United States has become.

"Bluesky is a liberal echo chamber" is the dumbest possible response to people leaving X. We simply don't want to hear from bigots & racists & trolls anymore. That's not an echo chamber; that's what a proper society should be.

FIU is currently throttling 5-1 Western Kentucky, 10 days after losing 51-10 to UConn. Makes sense.

You: scissor king, AEW tag champ, AEW trio champ, pride of professional wrestling, several magazine covers.

Mike Trout: not recognized as a king of any office equipment, no AEW championships, on some ESPN fantasy baseball magazine covers.

You clear him easily!

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

On September 28, soldiers from West Virginia patrolling D.C.'s Navy Yard area observed a man masturbating in public.

The soldiers "advised [him] to stop."

Police officers arrested him a little while later after they said they saw him peeing in front of a restaurant.

"Soldiers pursued... pizza thieves" is batshit crazy. Great use of our military. Thank God DC is safe again.

Brad Heath @bradheath.bsky.social · 9h

The previous Sunday, a 7-11 manager flagged down soldiers to report that a man who tried to pay $2 for $4.50 worth of pizza. He also threw pizza at the manager, then his friend stole two slices of pizza.

Soldiers pursued and detained both accused pizza thieves.

This is such shitty journalism. The story isn't transcribing what he says. The story is he can't do this, he's lying, he's attacking a woman again, and (most importantly) Boston isn't hosting any World Cup games. Michelle Wu isn't the Mayor of Foxboro, you orange buffoon.

President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday to revoke Boston's World Cup matches if local authorities don't get tougher on crime.

WWE has no matches announced for the next Peacock special in about two weeks. They can't figure out what to do with Seth's legit injury & Triple H is too busy with RFK Jr. to care. Don't forget this show was supposed to air on NBC too, but ya know, good at business.

Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

It blows my mind that NBC News published photos of ICE/police armed with billy clubs & didnt think to ask, Why?

Ben Wojdyla @ben-wojdyla.bsky.social · 14h

Also, can we talk about the billy clubs in this picture? Billy clubs were essentially discontinued as law enforcement tools following a LOOOOOOOOOONG list of police brutality lawsuits.

He's been doing Gameday & the biggest game for 20 years at this point. It's the NFL on Amazon that ruined it for him.

Kirk Herbstreit has a schedule that would break most people. He works Thursday Night Football for Amazon, hosts College GameDay on Saturday mornings, and calls the biggest college football game of the week on Saturday afternoon or night for ESPN. It’s a grind that has him crisscrossing the country every week, and it’s taking a Read more...

Jericho has also been very pro-vaccine. But he's never been outed as a MAGA himself, just his wife. I'm sure that'll change when he goes back to WWE.
