Dangit. I gotta get to the post office.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

Long available only in cropped and muddy transfers, PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN is a film just waiting to be more widely discovered by new audiences. Help us restore it and three other films by giving to our Kickstarter today — less than $10k to go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

I highly recommend watching this

"these edibles ain't shit" *30 minutes later*

Every so often I get to think of something that is not awful. I interviewed Henry freaking Rollins about his quest with Ian MacKaye and a few other schemers to revive Vengeance Records, The Cramps’ record label: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Never been huge on MST3K but this feels like it’s descended from that and makes me laugh quite a lot. RIP Bonnie Tyler

Never doubting my GOAT ever again

Amazingly physical match under adverse conditions, invested with stakes and drama by two of the best wrestlers alive, with a finish the crowd lost its goddamn mind for. Beautifully done 🤼

FUCK SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT LONG LIVE PRO WRESTLING KENNY OMEGA WINS MJF LOSES

A Kenny Omega kickout at one makes me feel alive, man 🤼‍♂️

absolutely the greatest

WHAT DID YOU THINK BEST BOUT MACHINE MEANS

wow that kick out pop. Kenny has better timing than some drummers I’ve seen.

omg that announce desk spot was beautifully worked, it exploded perfectly! #AEW

"In the end, the Devil cheated the Democrats out of his end of the bargain. Platner is not even the working-class whisperer he presented himself as, and all they’ve done is collectively debase themselves with indulgent apologia for a violent misogynist." www.liberalcurrents.com/graham-platn...

We're now at 75% with less than two weeks to go -- the goal is in sight, but we can't let up until we hit it... www.kickstarter.com/projects/mus...

Seeing David Sahadi crying, Vince Russo of all people letting his guard down as he turns into a bawling mess, and Scott Steiner abruptly exiting his interview so nobody would see him even shed a tear really gives you an idea of what an amazing person Jill Jarrett must have been. #DarkSideOfTheRing

Who wore it better? (Dare you to name a better slasher poster/cover trope)

the US team backroom interference feels like it's opened the doors for nations to openly make accusations of cheating in a way I can't remember before, they're out there doing tv segments in England collating every call on Messi vs everyone else to show how Argentina is getting special treatment

Egypt, not an upset player or manager in a postmatch but the actual FA has released a formal statement saying Egypt deserves to play under the same rules as others. it feels like something has cracked

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Holy shit, Roddy!! 🤼

PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN is one of my favorite movies and I would very much like to have a copy of it for myself so we should all donate to this Kickstarter if we have any extra dollars:

instead of forming a coherent and principled political ideology a lot of people prefer to fall in love with some guy

I'm so disillusioned, I almost don't even care who gets the FIFA Peace Prize next year

egypt played argentina to a draw, even though they were screwed by the refs they should still be proud

The World Cup is absolutely rigged, eh? I’ve seen enough blatant one-sided reffing this past month to make me feel disgusted.

Let's not overlook her inspired performance in Blood Rage (1987)!

several degrees beyond thrilled to announce this release... four years in the making (!) ballastnvp067: The Hafler Trio: If Take, Then Take: Tricks, Half-Tricks & Real Phenomena (2 x CD, DVD, cards, and enamel pin in custom fabricated box) ballastnvp.blogspot.com/2026/07/ball...

Yep. Made a similar point yesterday. If you’re involved in subcultures you knew this guy reeked of a closet full of skeletons right away.

Been listening to the audiobook of this and it's great!

I’d really rather be posting about how amazing Initial Shock IV was this weekend. Incredibly well run fest, great people, great sets. #noise

it once again bears repeating: that platner is even a candidate is because this guy, who was run out of Pittsburgh for recruiting/managing multiple candidates accused of DV/SA, who himself has allegations against him, recruited platner he should be blacklisted until the end of time

That tattoo guy made it as far as he did is something that should be unpacked by smarter people than I, but I think it’s 50/50 people desperate for a “change” candidate & normal people just don’t understand the kind of blatant signifying a tattoo like that contains… “it’s just a tattoo” they think.

Gigs this month! Playing Birmingham solo next Saturday as part of Open Case #9 and then HOODWINKS is sharing the stage with @asaunders.bsky.social in a couple of Mondays in Notts. Both guaranteed bangers. Come hang!

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

My honest belief is that the dissenters should just be fully disbarred. You cannot sincerely believe the 14th Amendment does not contain birthright citizenship. To hold this is to be either so dishonest or so incapable of analysis that you cannot practice law.

While everyone's "all the love to trans folks" posts are nice and it is good to see support We have been getting them for a decade now. If you want to support trans folks, hire us. Support GFMs and asks for mutual aid. Put yourself between trans folks in public if you see harassment.

FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE!

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

goddamn, this Zack Sabre Jr. vs Kenny Omega match is so great
