Day 316 (insert your own joke here) of my time on Blue Sky complete. Today was...well...draining...in certain ways, and not in the ones I expected.

Thankfully, I carved out some time to relax, and I'm really grateful for that.

I know not what Wednesday will bring...but I hope it is good.

“It’s been 5,000 days since a New York team won a championship.”

The New York Liberty won a championship less than a year ago, you nitwit! Also, Gotham FC won a championship in 2023. Going out of your way to ignore the achievements of women’s sports teams is peak loser behavior. I’m sick of it!

Anyone who tells me "Wolverine is better than Cyclops" is just wrong. Sorry.

Even with the NUMEROUS retcons and changes, Logan is just...basic. Cyclops has a lot of nuance to it and when he's written properly, he's the best character around, and one you'd follow into fire.

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 1d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

When he did "TV Time With Jericho," it just screamed like a vanity play.

The demo means nothing if the segment sucks!

Todd Black - Writer and Fro Hermit @toddblack.bsky.social · 14h

He had his moments in #AEW, and it made sense to make him the first world champion. But over time, it felt like he was trying to 'grab past glory' instead of giving time to those who actually needed it.

The only good thing to come from his second ROH world title run was losing to Bandido.

If this is true, he'll be remembered for being essential at the beginning of #AEW, and that we're glad he's not weighing down anyone anymore within the company.

Ruby SoHo & "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker are opening up a board game themed cafe called "Victory Roll."

No confirmation on whether board games make Daddy Magic's nipples hard -- yet.

What she said! lol

I want to work for #AEW, especially in the "comic making" part of the business. I know they're working with DC, but I have an idea I think would be just as good as what DC is doing with the crossover that'll truly appeal to wrestling fans.
