Gotta be a GYO jump off here. There's no way to get the right fluffy consistency for the cheesecloud with frozen cheese.

Not according to my old Aussie rules captain who scolded me for having failed in my duties to my family by refusing to invest in crypto:

"What are you going to do when the electric grid collapses?"
"Jorgo, how is the electronic money going to work when the electric grid collapses?"

Adding Collision and a zillion PPVs didn't help to. I get they need revenue streams (and Tony needs to find TV time for all the people he won't fire), but when it was one tight two-hour weekly show and quarterly PPVs it was an excellent product.

Yup. The product went downhill like a rock as soon as they made that acquisition. I think Briscoe's about the only positive thing to come from it.

Sunday matinee with reserved seats at the very back corner of the theatre is the only way to play this these days.

They could have done something interesting with The Learning Tree but they really didn't and it fell victim to AEW's ongoing "how many factions and how many promotions ahve they got in this promotion anyhow?" problem.

Great performer in his day and he really helped AEW get off the ground but . . . it's over, brother.

I had to do some terrible training certification thing this morning and the videos were killing me, especially because they provided a transcript of the video, which I always had read less than halfway through the video.

He really hit the sanctified dead guy with the "Skill issue. Built different. Couldn't be me."

Incredible stuff.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

They're 0/11. Just make the video a damn email.

The new President of Ollie U communicates exclusively through videos. To watch the videos I would have to go through the university's janky 2FA that is broken half the time. I get at least 4 if not 6 "Reminder to read" emails about every weekly video.

Just an utterly idiotic way of communicating.

I'm not sure calling her out on Facebook isn't rewarding her to some extent.

My spouse is the neighbourhood corvid lady, but the magpies and crows haven't figured out that she spends most of the day in the backyard so when I'm downstairs chilling on the couch I have to deal with them pecking on the sliding door and demanding cashews.

But, I see so many interesting articles in the media about how young people are really getting turned on by conservative's raw edginess and that it's a real movement to the right among Generation Z?

Eh, it wasn't that great, really. Although I did technically start dating between my first and second victory lap.

Apparently you can if the Palestinians violate the ceasefire first by . . . *checks notes* . . . "celebrating their family members being freed."

Is that right? Is being happy your family members being returned home alive and in one piece doing a "support for terrorism"? Seems kinda bad faithy.

Yeah, I'm not sure I could deal with teaching now that the amount of interactions with parents has increased by like an order of magnitude. Shit, when I was a high school teacher I wouldn't even let parents of honour roll students come to parent-teacher interviews.
