I never meant to come off like people who disagree with their bosses should quit. You’re taking quite personal offense to something I never said. My point, which maybe I didn’t make well enough, is that it’s cowardly to dunk on an internet rando when she could do more for the cause by asking her boss what his deal is. Her boss is the one out and proud siding with bigots right there on TV.

I knew the whatsboutism would follow my post and that’s fine. I don’t know what the solution is, because people need to work. But I feel like there’s a huge difference between a business donating to whatever party is in power and WWE being full, mask-off MAGA. Even Vince didn’t do that, which is insane to think about.

DYNASTY, Season 2 - 4/6/2025

Tonight, Caster, you battle the mighty SCISS-OR! -
I saw a thing where Chelsea Green was defending trans people and lashing out on a Twitter moron and all I could think of was, “you know who you work for, right?” I’m not even talking about a few degrees’ separation, either. HHH sat behind Linda in the confirmation hearing where she essentially discussed making things harder for trans kids in school. The cognitive dissonance is amazing. Olympic level mental gymnastics.

That thumbnail is either a Predator-shaped mountain or Predator has been hitting the juice and got some sweet traps.

Most of the big names they want are already in and they'll need "main eventers" for the HOF ceremonies moving forward, so this is how they do it. When there's nobody big left and you're scraping the bottom of the jar for your ceremony with guys like Jim Powers, Ted Arcidi, The Warlord, and Harvey Whippleman, you can induct an iMmOrTaL mOmEnT and get a real name to show up. It's cynical and corny, but cynical and horny, WWE be thy name.

I put off seeing The Lincoln Lawyer for years because I thought it was a historical piece about Abraham Lincoln's attorney. Shit happens.

Sure but I definitely felt a difference between the two. I'd need to dig through episode summaries for a lot of good examples, but I feel like White Lotus is more about rich people's obliviousness to the lives of the not-so-well-off in their orbits. The show is punching up and making a commentary about the rich. A vague example off the top of my head is from season 2, where Jennifer Coolidge's character strings Natasha Rothwell's character along with noncommittal suggestions of maybe giving her seed money to start a business. For Coolidge, this is just bullshit rich person banter, while it's a massive deal for Rothwell, it's a life-changing possibility. It's crushing to watch her hang on and bend over backwards while the rich lady just sort of handwaves it in the end. The show is all about things like that; rich people being buddy buddy with people "below" them and not understanding the massive difference between them. Now I only watched 20 minutes of Succession, so I'm sure I'm wrong, but it felt like spoiled brats who never really worked in their lives, all fucking each other over for their inheritance.

I couldn't get into Succession because "rich people being awful to each other" is just not a genre I can get into. I can turn on the news and see rich folks being absolute trash IRL; I don't need it in my entertainment. I enjoyed White Lotus S1 & 2, haven't watched 3 yet, and feel it is better than @Curt McGirt's characterization but I don't begrudge anybody for disliking whatever they dislike for whatever reasons they choose.

Also, you can't just AirDrop anybody. It's set to Contacts Only by default. Setting your AirDrop to wide open is akin to raw dogging in New Orleans.

I recognized it by the picture and title. My exact thoughts this morning, seeing the thumbnail: Well known actor with an inexplicable but HI-LARIOUS bandage? Old-timey sounding and overly precious title? THE MIDNIGHT COTERIE OF SINISTER INTRUDERS!

I voted a hesitant "yes" last time, and changed it to "no" for this one. Last time, I appreciated the idea of a new long-term storyline. My idea was that yes, they haven't really articulated their mission statement, but I'm happy to see where it goes. But after months, there has been no progress at all. I guess TK is booking toward his Starrcade 97 (but done right) moment, but all the placeholders and NWO beatdowns between the start and now are just getting old. I appreciate Moxley's stooging and Yuta's being a despicable little shit, but Claudio and Pac bore me to tears. If this thing ends with Darby or Ospreay vanquishing the Death Riders, instead of Hangman or Swerve, who have had tremendous character progression, that just sucks. I mean, who is Darby beyond "little dude who doesn't give up and does dangerous shit?" Who is Ospreay beyond "athletic, charismatic chav?" I don't know what to think of the Young Bucks' involvement in this, but as a guy who actually does like the Young Bucks, I appreciate the intentional or unintentional trolling of the people who irrationally despise them. I'd love for someone to articulate their hate but, at the same time, I don't want to argue with anyone about it.

I can't take credit...it's early and I'm still working on coffee #2. I just Googled "Marvel heroes not in Endgame." Darby started as Wolverine, now he's slowly morphing into some faux edgy Leifeld shit. -

Anything other than Hangman winning the belt at the end is awful. Ospreay ending the Death Riders' reign of terror, when he's had nothing to do with them forever, is ridiculous, like "oh I guess I'll stand up for AEW and save the company now!" It would be like Beta Ray Bill showing up out of nowhere at the end of Endgame to defeat Thanos. Darby winning it after taking months off so third world sherpas, who make a fraction of his salary, can carry him up and down a mountain alongside CEOs and influencers, is equally shit. -
Oh fuck no. I saw it today and the terminally online Minecraft loons ruined it. Maybe I’ll post more thoughts on it tomorrow or Monday but it was an abysmal experience.
-
Statham pulls over, waits for the sheriff, and then beats the ever loving piss out of him. Movie is over in 15 minutes.
-
Yeah, I know he was a fine human being, but I never found Williams’ “9 year old acting out in a desperate plea for attention” style amusing. “I’M FUNNY AND JUST DID SOME BLOW PLEASE LOVE MEEEE” is really sad.

To paraphrase an adage about conspiracy belief: if you didn’t get into your beliefs because of facts, no amount of facts is going to get you out of it.

The idea that TK knows the numbers but is fucking around with the IWC equivalent of the Qanon crowd fills me with joy. There are people who think TK is paying people to watch. Anything to make them more miserable, I say.
