Ep 52! Everything we know and don't know about TNA's deal with AMC. Then, WBD is being sold! Or is it? Next, Tanahashi's Final Road! Trish discusses her article on the Ace's final opponent. Finally, a look at wrestling media. Where do we go from here? redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

But the good news is, by doing this, we defeated racism in the UK.

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

1. Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery exposes Jared Kushner's game Kushner is not running a private equity fund. He's running an influence peddling operation. It's spelled out on page 42 of Paramount's new SEC filing

Come off it. The UK government, including the prime minister, says stronger stuff than this (IMV to an unwise degree) about China *all the time*.

Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him

My family left the UK when I was a child, and I only moved back after 21 years. I didn't pay a penny in UK income tax or National Insurance until I was 35 years old. But the magic trick of being born here means nobody has ever questioned whether or not I have "contributed".

With this there would have been no Mo Farah. No Freddie Mercury. No Lenny Henry. No George Michael. No Meera Syal. No Sadiq Khan. No Sajid Javid. No Salman Rushdie. No Hanif Kureishi.

Fuck Keir Starmer's spokesman, and fuck the cowards running the Labour party.

Take that Lisa’s beliefs! Day 9 Grade me! Look at me! Evaluate and rank me! Oh, I’m good, good, good and oh so smart! Grade me!

EVE: Let’s Slam Santa! 5/12/25 A bunch of fun matches, a talent contest that I’m still convinced was a fever dream and two Christmas themed burlesque acts. Just a bloody good time in general.

"Incidentally, in the 1960s and 1970s, when net migration was running at minus 50,000 a year, more than 85% of Britons still thought immigration was too high." Last week's New World column ocncerned immigration to the UK.

Take the Lisa’s beliefs! Day 8 George Washington: Well, I'll just have to find another little girl to be President. What's your friend Janey's number? Lisa: No! Not Janey! She’ll pack the Supreme Court with boys!

An absolutely absurd amount of comics in this deal, including some of the best direct market comics of the century so far.

They do know that Dredd is set in a world where an authoritarian regime took over and dismantled democracy after a corrupt war mongering president ruined America and the rest of the world?

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Take that Lisa’s beliefs! Day 7 Bart, don’t you remember that Snowball I died four years ago tonight? Run over by the mayor’s beer-swilling brother Clovis.

What really strikes me is their utter inability to see how this sort of language is not just morally wrong, but very clearly helps their opponents.

Take that Lisa’s beliefs! Day 6 Lisa: I’ve got to warn you mom, I might get a little crazy. Marge: I understand honey, when I was your age— Lisa: hey horseface! Get your ugly pie hooks off that summer set!

I really enjoyed listening to Trish and Jesse talk about interesting topics in wrestling this last year.

Take that Lisa’s beliefs! Day 5 It’s bad enough they’re all eating meat, they don’t have to rub it in my face!

I joined Jesse to talk about some of the biggest news stories of 2025 and, naturally, we fell into talking about football as well.

Here's another way to look at the remarkable rise in ethnic diversity on the Commons benches - more MPs with an ethnic minority background serve in the current Commons than were elected to every postwar Parliament from 1945 to 2010 combined.

Take that Lisa's beliefs! day 4 Lisa's brain: They're only using it for your pool, you know. Lisa: Shut up brain! I got friends now! I don't need you any more! Duh yeah I'd love to go to your house.

no story about elon musk or his companies is complete without reference to both his overt white nationalist agitation, or his willingness to put that rhetoric into action by gleefully consigning countless thousands of people of color to death while running DOGE

In Aug., the NY Young Republican Club posted a statement to its website in support of the AfD. The statement concluded with the phrase “AfD über alles” in bold, a play on the line “Deutschland über alles,” which was frequently used in Nazi propaganda www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Mad Men 4K

Take that Lisa’s beliefs! Day 3 Marge: oh Lisa, is that too spicy for you? Lisa: I can see through time.

Take that Lisa’s beliefs! Day 2 Principal Skinner, remember how I didn’t sue when I found that scorpion in my apple sauce? Well I’m calling in a favor.

You're not cross enough! First and second headlines from The Times. (Telling how consistently male gaze is the 'feminism' of The Times.)

Take that Lisa’s beliefs! An Advent Calendar of Springfield’s Answer to a Question Nobody Asked Day 1 Marge: Kids? You’re missing the Itchy & Scratchy show. Don’t you like it any more? Lisa: Sure, we love it. But how can we watch TV when it’s so beautiful out?
