I will probably actually use this this time but still no promises

New phone, just in time for me to plug my substack. Life lines up sometimes

I promise I’m going to try to post to here more, but for real this time. I think Threads is, UI wise, better. I think there are perks to BlueSky, but overall as a serious content creator I need to be on both, and there’s no reason not to except laziness on my part tbcfh

Bold Take: AOC/Mark Cuban would win in 2028 as Democrats or Third Party (as long as they could get on all 50 ballots)

The design is great but can someone tell me what Brian Cage has done in the last two years of his career

Holy shit what a simple yet beautiful and effective move.

As someone who always gets caught up in pumphandles and double-underhooks and half-Nelson throws, sometimes you just need to bash someone’s head into a pole

The main text is fair. But also there are valid criticisms that go beyond “I want more of this”. My criticisms (the objectively correct ones) often refer to a lack of consistency and/or harmony

It’s also on the promoter to keep the three ring circus even, so I don’t think it all comes down to fans
AEW can't please everybody being pulled in different directions. Also WBD to please too.

The pro wrestling is politics metaphor is quite literally so much of who I am and why my content is what it is
Pro Wrestling feels like such an apt metaphor for politics' scripted trash talking pantomime driven by some rich guy who owns everything deciding the winner most of the time

As a regular AEW-dunker and WWE cinema-enjoyer, unless Tony’s guy swapped out the good stuff with baby powder, AEW’s first show of the year is going to absolutely blow WWE’s out of the water

My goal in life is to create content that reaches an audience with an idea that I am absolutely a kind of influencer.

I do want to influence.

I know I’m the smartest person on earth, and would rather everyone learn, discuss, and expand their brains when I speak

(This is not satire)

I want to converse.

Picked up this book a while ago and loved it despite not finishing

It talks about the rhetoric used to get Americans on board with the idea of manifest destiny, specifically the gendered portraits of other countries

In light of Greenland, I’m going to pick it back up soon
