I think the thing that makes these posters fascinating to me is that a guy with zero talent sits down at his computer and says “what would make a good title for a breakfast club sequel?” And came up with “Saturday Returns”

A rare moment of unity between sports fans and wrestling fans, as they join together to say: Him? $60M a year?

Speaking as a working class kid who was one of the first in the family to go into higher education: it looks like the actual point here is that the political class broadly has decided to hugely hack back access to university. The justifications is spurious and probably secondary to the underfunding.

Another is, for example, that salaries *in the Civil Service*, supposedly running the actual country on our behalf, are barely above minimum-wage until you reach senior management levels.

More people now watch AEW Dynamite than CBS at 1135pm. I knew this was going to be a disaster, but holy crap. Production costs of $0 don't matter when no one is watching.

He tries to make everything about himself: the 250th, the World Cup, even the NBA Finals. He’s like Karen Horney’s description of the primal narcissist self seeing its own image projected onto the world and then trying to devour the world. Except she was talking about infants

I mostly look for storylines in sports, and right now the NBA Finals is “Team owned by generational buffoon looks set to win, blessed by idiot tyrant” whereas the Stanley Cup final is “Heroic D&D team takes 2-1 lead over treacherous former Whalers team.” Not a hard choice for me

AEW has more good matches booked for Dynamite (6) than WWE does (5) for their ppvs. AEW's entire strategy is "lots of great wrestling" & WWE seems to have no counter because "produce better content" is too much work.

I am begging people to realize that police do not use this technology is not a "jumping off point" or an "investigative lead"--the computer spits out a name and police arrest that person without follow up. How many people have to spend months in jail "by accident" before we consider the danger?

The Beeb did do some good work on small fascist groups distributing papers full of Nazi conspiracy theories and so on, but the problem here is the same one as the lads vowing to crush “fake news” in 2016: eventually, you have to admit the key problem is the Sun, the Mail, the Times and the Telegraph

But the Pentagon DID include Jehovah’s Witnesses as a Christian religion, perhaps in a bid to spark a flame war on the Catholic discussion board I moderated in the mid-2000s

this is basically correct. I'll add that theatrical box office is one of the only "objective" measurements of a movie's popularity — stuff can be a "hit" or "bomb" on Netflix and the company will never share their internal metrics with anyone (except some implausible bragging about watch time)

A fun aside — MSG, owned by Trump pal James Dolan, tried to tell us that the party wasn’t cancelled because of Trump. And not long after, the NYPD sent an updated statement — yes, it’s cancelled because of the presidential visit. Here are the statements.

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

I really enjoyed “Backrooms,” and so did the unruly teens I chaperoned. Kind of a 21st century Expressionist film in a lot of ways but not nearly as tedious as that sounds. There was a danger of a bit of “This is about … Grief,” but they swerved on that with an ambiguous ending. Thumbs up
