I highly encourage anyone that has dabbled in joshi wrestling to check out this beautifully written article & interview on Diana. Eric embraced his opportunity to meet with key players and learn more about the inner workings of this small promotion with a big heart. 🩵

getting mad at people for performing the gender they were assigned at birth after their entire society spent a lifetime painfully hammering it into them is like getting mad at gasoline-powered cars for not being electric mass transit.

this optional boss in Elden Ring (the Tibia Mariner) is fairly easy to defeat on horseback. strategically retreat when he's casting a spell, and avoid the skeletons he summons

“The kind of people you hate are moving into your neighborhood and ruining it” is a winning political message on both the right and the left, unfortunately

Richard Uihlein's net worth is about $6.7 billion. He makes OVER $800,000 A DAY just in passive investment income. No amount of boycotting Uline is going to make a dent in his ability to fund evil shit at a massive scale

among everything else, what gets me about stories like this is that nobody inside these institutions seems willing to put their career at risk to do what they know is the right thing

I'm not on bluesky because I want to be in a bubble. I'm on bluesky because I touched an ancient enamel urn while excavating a previously unknown pharaonic tomb and my soul was lifted out of my body, now I am in this place, forever

When I am president, I will sue HHS for $3.2 trillion dollars but I am a magnanimous person, and although I was gravely offended, I will settle the case for the low low price of "we will implement Medicare for All" and "this can't be challenged in court"

American style democracy is a joke. at the national level your vote is increasingly literally meaningless because of the Electoral College and gerrymandering. at the local level you’re supposed to vote for random party functionary offices you’ve got to be 9 levels deep to know what they even do

They call it taṇhā folks, it's a very old fashioned word, taṇhā, and let me tell you, whoever wins, whoever prevails over this wretched craving—and it’s very hard to beat, believe me—their sorrows just fall right off them, like a drop of water off a lotus leaf. It’s a beautiful thing.

Gen Z has rediscovered the Flintstones & is realizing how dystopian the America of today is compared to 2 million years ago "Watching The Flintstones... has solidified my belief that I would have likely been happier working in a quarry as a brontosaurus operator."

I hate to sound dramatic but the most depressing part of enjoying wrestling (or any aspect of culture) are the people who claim to love it but whose imagination can only conjure a monoculture that exists to kill the soul of art.

Every Lot is getting a little confused - this is 3727 W. Kinzie, according to to the Park District, but it's actually located at like 381 N. Hamlin. Kinzie isn't a real street sometimes.
