All the talk around AEW influencing kids to he violent just reminds me of the 'video games cause violence' talk from when I was younger. It was bullshit then, and it's bullshit now

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Listen, I am not religious, but how dense do you have to be to explain the BIBLE to the POPE?

worm @rfksbrainworm.bsky.social · 19d

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

Austin
I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

Is there anything as quintessentially modern American dystopian as the fancy "please don't bring your gun on the plane" hologram at the Atlanta airport?

After finally getting caught up with AEW All Out, I can confirm that John Oliver said it best. When pro wrestling is good, it's better than the things you like.

Support independent media and journalism. Fact check and make sure what you’re hearing is the correct information too.

The internet is a blessing and a curse but it’s a tool nonetheless.

"With the right trying to criminalize kindness, we all need to cultivate the criminal inside us."

Fuck YES. ❤️🤝

Kindness is punk AF.

Both Bandido & Brody style themselves as outlaws & in a world like ours where those in power are abusive, racist, fascists it is good to see them getting a well deserved spotlight. With the right trying to criminalize kindness, we all need to cultivate the criminal inside us. #AEW

Apologies if this is too far when you just wanna have fun, but sometimes shit gets too real and we have to deal with the conflict of our morals in a real way.

You can't remove politics from wrestling when it becomes intricately intertwined.

And when they're so brazenly in your face about it.

Hulk Hogan joins the orange is the new leather skin supergroup at the Republican National Convention to endorse Donald Trump. He would later return to the orange is the new tan convention at WWE where he would be met with boos and be real sad about that. Apparently it's not appropriate to talk about that since he just passed, so consider this a reflection and celebration of life. Oh and he was a racist and a union buster too.

Oh and for the purpose of description, he is wearing a bandana with a hair piece under it, has Those Sunglasses on his head (the one from the MAGA dudes meme), and is ripping off a black shirt that was probably precut because this dude is OLD, revealing a red Hogan shirt underneath

The craziest thing about this weekend's #WWESumerslam is that Triple H is working with Donald Trump, has praised him several times, and WWE is in your face MAGA-

which makes sense given that predators protect predators, and WWE & Trump are rife with sexual assault and trafficking cases.

Triple H, Stephanie, Shane, and Linda McMahon stand by Donald Trump in a photo op with children, which is pretty disgusting considering the amount of cases against them for the trafficking and abuse of minors

Triple H and Donald Trump at the White House yesterday

Triple H does his spit pose in front of the white house, which is probably why they were so anti-mask because how can you look cool and spit water at people when you have fabric on your face

Triple H hugs Donald Trump at a UFC show in the run up to the election. Triple H and Donald Trump are very well versed in scripted outcomes and screwjobs so this makes sense

Why do people still use this argument like it is some sort of 'gotcha'? With characters like an undead wizard, an actual leprechaun, and a possessed kid show host, it is obviously just a form of entertainment. It's like saying Game of Thrones isn't real. Which just sounds ignorant.

I love pro wrestling because it’s the only realm where a man named Homicide could have so many folks giving touching tributes to his kindness and influence on their lives.
