One last push for our departing Eater colleagues before we close the GoFundMe for support. Please chip in if you can, and let's help them get to $15,000! www.gofundme.com/f/eater-isnt...

Our colleagues at Eater still need our help! If you can chip in, or if you know someone who can help, or if you just want to spread the word, we'll be so grateful! www.gofundme.com/f/eater-isnt...

I'm officially out of a job--they eliminated mine, and I'm taking severance instead of a wildly different title they offered me that's not at all what I was hired to do. Solidarity forever 🌺, and while I take a breather someone come up with some good ideas of work I could do.

the Fantastic Four cast get asked about their own personal fantastic four, which leads to some canned niceties from pascal, kirby and quinn, and an insanely he knows ball answer from ebon.

Alright y'all, UFC Nashville is in the books and it's on to UFC 318. Hit me with your best questions and I'll answer them this week on @mmafighting.bsky.social. Love y'all!

I mean fine but if Mamdani was Spider-Man the editor of the big local paper would have a completely over-the-top and underexplained vendetta against him

Fine, I did it. It was very hard

Since I fortunately didn’t have to go on strike, this is my office for the night. #UFCAtlanta

Unions make companies better.

Thanks for wanting to help! Should we go on strike, the most important thing is not to cross the picket line: don't click on, read, listen to, or watch any Vox Media products for the duration of the strike. Should we go on strike, we'll have more specific ways to help out, so stay tuned! Thank you!

I promise you the asks are more than reasonable and yet we’re having to do this.

Less than 24 hours til our @voxmediaunion.bsky.social contract is up. Off to go bargain, but me and my Veesona are ready to strike 😘

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Hmmm. Seems like every video of the protests show everything is really chill and fine until the dudes with guns and tactical gear turn up. Then it turns violent. Maybe they’re the ones to blame.

The AFL-CIO Sports Council unions and all of America’s labor movement stand in solidarity with @wgaeast.bsky.social members at SB Nation and Vox Media as they fight for a strong contract with fair pay, strong benefits, AI protections and job security ✊

The Vox Media Union’s current union contract expires at 11:59 pm ET on June 12. Time is running out, but Vox Media management has refused to even discuss our proposals in good faith. Send a letter urging Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff to negotiate a fair contract NOW! wgaea.st/vox-letter

The Vox Media Union just delivered our strike pledge to Vox management, showing our unwavering commitment to securing a collective bargaining agreement that is fair. Should we not get a fair contract, we are prepared to strike.

For Jordan

Realized that my old web hosting account lapsed due to an expired CC, so the old feed for the Two Scoops podcast that Jordan Breen and I did isn't working anymore. But I have every episode — free and Patreon — saved in a Google Drive folder, so here they are for now: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Meant to send this last night, but UFC Vegas 107 was terrible and I stopped watching and forgot. It's time for questions! UFC 316 is this weekend, so hit me with your best stuff and i'll answer the good questions on the @mmafighting.bsky.social mailbag this week. Love y'all!

Alright, y'all. It's a rare off week for MMA, which means I need your questions even more than usual. Hit me with them and I'll answer the best ones this week on @mmafighting.bsky.social. Love y'all

UFC 315 is in the books. Got questions? Send them here and I'll answer the best ones this week on @mmafighting.bsky.social love yall.

Thunderbolts is the best Marvel movie in a long time. Florence Pugh is terrific. Put her and Tom Holland in a film immediately and let them carry this next phase.

I can relate to Pope Francis. I, too, would die if I had to shake JD Vance’s hand.

Alright, UFC 314 is in the books and Alexander Volkanovski is once again champion. Send me your questions and I’ll answer the best ones on @mmafighting.bsky.social this week. Love y’all’

EVERY TIME!! They are much bigger than I am in general but I look like an infant doing these pregame previews.

China should do a weekly TV show where they spin a big wheel Price of Right style and whatever it lands on, that’s the response tariff to the US.

How the hell was UConn a 2 seed?

Alright yall, UFC Vegas 105 is in the books and it’s finally time for UFC 314. Got questions? Hit me here and I’ll answer the best ones this week on @mmafighting.bsky.social Love y’all!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is one of my favorite movies ever. Professor my film studies class gave us each a film to watch and analyze and I got it. I revisit it about once a year. If I ever made a film, it’s what I’d aspire to make. And Val Kilmer makes the move. RIP Gay Perry.

Cain should be thrilled with this outcome. You can't chase someone through the streets with your can and shoot a gun recklessly into it. A minor miracle people weren't more seriously injured. Cain likely serves half that. Huge win for him and feels like the right ending.

Alright y'all, UFC London is in the books and it's on to UFC Mexico. Do you have questions? Send them here and I'll answer the best ones this week on @mmafighting.bsky.social. Love y'all!

Twice the Chris Duncans have fought on the same card (in the O2) and twice they have both been victorious. The most dominant duo in all of professional sports, some say. #UFCLondon

Mickey 17 Not good. Not awful. Dragged a lot. Haven’t read the book but writing was meh. Fun concept poorly executed. Mark Ruffalo is horrendous and ruins the movie. Robert Pattinson is really good.

I am very dumb and forgot to solicit questions for this week's mailbag on @mmafighting.bsky.social. Be a buddy and ship me your MMA questions and I'll answer the best ones tomorrow. Love y'all.

LOL. Hadjar DNFed during the formation lap!

Roman Dolidze naming his son Ares is a bit too on the nose for me.

The UFC still trotting out “Fighter A is still a full-time teacher despite fighting in the biggest MMA promotion in the world” is stunningly tone deaf and makes me want to hit things

Make politicians scared again

Alright yall, UFC 313 is in the books. Got questions? Send them my way and I’ll answer the best ones on @mmafighting.bsky.social next week. Love y’all.

Geno Smith for a 3rd Rounder seems like a really good deal if you don't like the QBs in this draft class

Saying what should happen to these people is a bannable offense but just know I'm thinking it real hard. Performative shitfucking cowards, every one of them.

Anora was the best movie I saw in 2024 and tonight is a well-deserved coronation. If you haven't seen it already, I can't recommend it enough.

The two most recent Best Actors were on Peaky Blinders

Emilia Perez is a bad film and I don't understand the people who voted to award it anything

Twitter is cool because there’s still a lot of fun shit on there. It’s bad because every comment is a Nazi bot or porn. Bluesky is cool because there aren’t Nazis or porn, but fucking Christ my feed is entirely a reflection of the horrific state of the nation.

Perhaps this is a hot take but Emilia Perez would be a LOT better if it wasn’t a musical. Most of these people can’t sing and the songs are bad. Really kinda fucking up an interesting story

Been some news since this so putting out a final call for mailbag questions. Get in!

OK, UFC Seattle is in the books. It was quite fun until the end when it got weird. Nevertheless, hit me with your questions and I'll answer the best ones next week on @mmafighting.bsky.social Love y'all!
