it's worth occasionally reflecting on how AEW has changed wrestling. Imagine telling someone 8 years ago that a major PPV would end with the dramatic post-match reveal of a babyface Prince Nana, and the pre-show would have a commentary team of Tony Schiavone, Nigel McGuinness and The Big Show.

Moxley losing all of his C2 matches then learning from a former enemy to beat Claudio.

I love this match, a neat perfect model for balancing heat and hope in a way WWE so rarely do.

It's also a brilliant use of that brief period of the brand split where the champion appeared on both shows, & could have a PPV feud on one while working with a midcarder on the other.

Brodido’s made me actually think about the “two singles guys as a tag team” thing. American wrestling ruined that by making it “can they coexist?” and they win anyway. Funnily enough, when you do it well it’s actually good.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

I find insane that shabana mahmood is going out there and saying "white british people cannot be asked to accept too many of us outsiders, it is not in their nature, and their pushback against all of us is to be placated". What???
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood made more explicit her argument that when ethnic minorities face racism, "we have no choice but to ask: what is the cause of our division"

Her answer is the level of net migration, 2019-23 causes racism. (She on Monday said it was caused by the scale of asylum)

I don't use the word lightly, but this is really just evil isn't it. "Your identity makes us uncomfortable so be gone from public spaces." Fuck off.
I mean come on: we'll ask but reserve right to exclude you on the basis of how you look. Oh, and if you try to use your birth sex specific facilities we'll kick you out of those as well.

Get fucked.

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
