Back in the day when I had dreams of being a pro wrestler, enrolled in a school and everything, my entrance music for the character I envisioned for myself would have been My Hero.
Without saying Best Of You, fav Foo Fighters Song?
I cannot stress enough that I have only ever wanted to be a good guy in a bad world if you ever wonder what truly “radicalized” me.
I only want to be a man my son can be proud to call Dad cause I didn’t have that growing up.

I still remember the feeling when going to see American History X and a trio of skinheads walked in late and sat directly behind us.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

When I first heard people say this, I thought it was reading too much into something that wasn't that statistically unlikely, but it is starting to seem a little fishy. There are 15 judges, and Trump keeps pulling his most loyal Renfields.
One day a math whiz will need to tell us all what the probability of Rao and Walker being on ALL THE PANELS in a purportedly random process is. @andrewtorrez.bsky.social @lizdye.bsky.social
BREAKING: Judges Rao and Walker — both Trump appointees — issue an "administrative stay" blocking Judge Boasberg's contempt proceedings set to begin on Monday.
The administrative stay is issued over the objection of Judge Childs, a Biden appointee.

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

We do not have enough contempt for political news media
AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

My scholarly monograph on Roman sex workers and matrons has sold more than twice as many copies as Nuzzi's book.
I love when a big, super-hyped book sells 1,200 copies. Every indie title I've ever been involved with has sold more than that.

I’ve said before that the 2028 dem platform will fit in one word: “revenge”.
cannot stress enough how the leading quality i want in 2028 dem primary fronteunnwr is “vengeful”
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.
What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?
Who in the USA gov runs the program?
R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?
