Pretty sure 42 million starving Americans counts as a catastrophe

New pod with @davidbix.bsky.social, a wide-ranging conversation about wrestling news aggregation, Gen Z wrestlers, old wrestler podcasts and like, 10,000 other things

Why is THIS getting the "graphic media" flag?

20 years ago today: Who am I? I. AM. TAUE.

@btsheetspod.bsky.social is LIVE!!!!! and we go back to 2002 where we bury the blowoff of the Katie Vick angle, John Cena as Vanilla Ice on the Halloween Smackdown, Panda Energy buys TNA, and NOAH's Halloween show!! redcircle.com/shows/betwee...

it was also a useful way of thinking about his coalition, bridging working-class immigrant communities w/ Guardian Football Weekly-listening yuppies

we were spared a longer piece from me on this because I was out of town for the official Zohran Mamdani soccer tournament, but I did think it was worth noting he pandered to soccer fans more than any candidate in American history www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Why run this sample without any of the details she included in the book of why his injury had become an issue?

I get that there may be legal issues/personal promises stifling things, but the review makes it sound like the book has no audience. You lived through this period and want new revelations? There's none. You're new and want a history of the place? Apparently, it's meh there too.

Just read this review www.voicesofwrestling.com/2025/11/04/v... of the AEW book and laughed that they went full "Poochie died on his way back to his home planet" on Punk AND Cody. Like if you wrote a biography on JFK and the last sentence was "On Nov. 22, 1963, John went for a drive in Dallas."

I don't think I fully understood the degree to which neo Nazis rely on making up random bullshit about the Talmud until recently

Did anyone ever figure out where the Mike Lindell/Jane Krakowski story came from?

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation. They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.

The auto rotate on my Samsung Galaxy S25 stopped working and I can't find the option for it anywhere, including Quick Settings and Settings, and I have no idea how to fix it and it's driving me crazy. Plz halp.

I've done a lot of translation for book projects focused on Japanese fighting and wrestling. I'm sharing pieces at Hybrid Shoot. In 1984, a band of renegades created a new wrestling that would eventually birth Japanese MMA. This is their origin story. hybridshoot.substack.com/p/the-sermon...

Look at Bob "Four Touchdown in One Game" Fish over here...

PUT IT IN MY VEINS

Among the many amazing things about Adams pleading his case here is that he openly supports and now is asking for help from… people who cancelled funding for cancer research.

I see we're back to Republicans over relying on overusing "GUESS WHAT?!?" during cable news hits. They abandoned that old standby for way too long

I say this a lot but I'm saying it again: it must be absolutely exhausting to be like this

HALP

wait Justin Chambers was in the first few episodes of Cold Case and then he got replaced by Danny Pino?!? I've only ever seen this show in scattered late night reruns and I'm not sure I ever saw these episodes or knew this.

The enshittification of Google Search is truly something to behold. I have Cold Case on while I can't sleep. Ep ends with a cover of Heroes. Google's previously good music search now spits out generic "David Bowie Heroes" results while Shazam & SoundHound both ID it as the Wallflowers' cover ASAP.

There was no way to predict that the Usos would be close to THIS bad as singles wrestlers, right? Most "much greater than the sum of its parts" tag teams aren't close to as good as they were as a team. To be this bad a singles wrestler while being SUCH a good tag team wrestler is truly impressive.

Is it possible to post a rasslin video on this app without THIS happening?

It's better than the things you like. It just is.

Should I watch My Cousin Vinny or West Coast Pro

I don't usually say this but I think Ace Austin needs to go back to having stupid hair. He looks a lot more generic with a "normal" haircut.

Is the idea that the women's Blood and Guts match had been official for weeks as Triangle of Madness & partners vs. Hayter, Aminata, & partners, but tonight was just AEW announcing their partners? Because that was definitely not the AEW TV I watched for weeks. #AEWCollision

"Tony Khan only knows how to book tournaments."

I'd say AEW was actually more accessible (and relatable in a lot of ways) to casual viewers but people won't give it a chance when you've got people like Bryan bitching and the astroturfing that goes on the Nazi app.

He has already chosen, what the fuck are we doing here www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"Wife mad at you? DEI." is phenomenal work.

I didn't expect to log on and see such a graphic depiction oh a leopard eating someone's face.

Leave it to Andrew Cuomo to keep finding new ways to suck.

Is it me or is the beech club sub season the main reason that my generation has always been fascinated by the lack of continuity on Saved by the Bell? Those are the best written/best acted episodes of the series, they sell Zack/Stacy so well and then she's gone, they rug pull Denise Richards, etc.

New Center Stage Chronicles is up on the @btsheetspod.bsky.social feed covering October 1990! Halloween Havoc: TERROR RULES THE RING, two different Black Scorpions working house shows, the end of the Midnight Express, Beverly Hills 90210 premieres on Fox, and much more. redcircle.com/shows/f0ecb9...

Heads up: @davidbix.bsky.social has an eye infection that's making it difficult to use his Mac, so the release schedule may be all over the place in the coming days. CSC's exported, regular/Patreon BTS eps are recorded. Will make best effort to get all posted ASAP when the screen isn't a huge blur.

no seriously this happened

Soon all journalism will be like wrestling journalism and you will all want to jump off a fucking building

Probably the best archive link for the insane PWInsider cockfighting sponcon post is this one since it doesn't keep any of their questionable JavaScript elements (ad blocker blocker and God only knows what else) like the Wayback Machine version does. archive.is/TXpFN

Between Sprtskeeda's AI slop like the one article accidentally accusing Paul Heyman of being a child molester, various sites using AI transcribers that they're not checking for obvious mistakes, & PWInsider's hidden sponcon like the PRO COCKFIGHTING ARTICLE, wrestling media is doing great right now.

So is Mike Johnson just outright admitting now that Republicans did indeed cut Medicaid?

How much do these bizarre random hidden sponcon things pay, anyway? Especially one as suspect as LIVE BETTING ON LIVESTREAMED COCKFIGHTING FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

The link will give your computer an infection that cant be cleared by antibiotics, but PWInsider now promoting online cock fighting? They need the money that bad? pwinsider.com/article/2018...

did they make a really careful switch that nobody noticed or was that Hangman the whole time and somehow nobody noticed #AEWDynamite
