@kimspirit.bsky.social it’s my new poker hero, Mr. Addington!

@dicknixon.bsky.social I just turned off the radio playing the late night hockey game out of LA, and now I see the election results.. are these really as profound as I’m thinking they are?

You might appreciate this @kimspirit.bsky.social

@kimspirit.bsky.social, the good lady's reaction to me sharing the news of this monumental anniversary.

For all my American friends currently aghast at the horrible tacky transformations going on in the White House: once MAGA is gone, I think it would be a fantastic act of international bridge-repair if Canada came down and torched the damn thing again. Fortunately, gilded IKEA trash lights up good.

Headlines like this aren't proof that the sports / gambling legalization connection is failing, it's proof that it's working. Before the wide legalization of sports betting, investigations like this were much harder to conduct and rooting out illegal gambling was far, far harder.

Three cops is two cops too many here. If an arrest was justified (and frankly I’d be suspicious of even that claim lately), an unarmed 50 year old woman who OH YEAH was handicapped by WEARING A FULL BODY PENIS SUIT doesn’t need backup.

Perhaps their first clue should have been when advertisers bailed en masse because they didn't want their product associated with such Mecha-Hitler grade drivel?

For pro wrestling fans, there's one obvious answer.

Textbook example of 1st Amendment "peaceably assemble", never mind that that's a man of the cloth calling for humanity that they just, you know, shot in the head.

Elon Musk unveiling the new X logo at an ICE facility? F’ real though, I just watched The Wall today, and in addition to the usual reasons it was hard to watch (I.e. it’s a jumbled and incoherent mess), the whole In The Flesh -> Run Like Hell -> Waiting For The Works section sat VERY ill in my mind

I do love the coy infusion of progressive talking points here, but they're quite valid -- the first step to a more fulfilling life is a better life :) and I cannot emphasize enough how much those third places matter. The internet is great. The internet is not a third place.

Falsely suggesting I'm singling out transgender individuals, but otherwise, yes, when KYC-grade human verification is required on social media, it is then and only then the infestation of bots, outrage farms, and vile anonymous trolls will finally happen. Until then, the enshittification continues.

More true today than it’s ever been.

🎶Do you hear the lawyers sing, Singing the songs of angry suits?🎶

Like, how better could one explain the legal squabbles between grassroots BLM movements and “Black Lives Matter Global Foundation Network, Inc.”, than with the scene from Network where the Ecumenical Liberation Army was negotiating with the UBS lawyers?

America’s people are in dire need of their “mad as hell” moment; they may be closer than one might think.

Love you, one and all, Bluesky friendos. That is all.

20 minutes to showtime. Lucky undershirt is ready, courtesy of @kimspirit.bsky.social.

Me preparing to provide the details to my right-wing FB friends about Kirk's alleged assassin:

Just in case I wasn't 100% secure in my judgment that the line had been crossed regarding Twitter turning into Truth Social 2.0, this would do it. Note especially the two posts by Elon Musk, as he no doubt presses his thumb down on the scale for his and all these other posts.

Three teens were critically wounded Wednesday in a shooting at a high school in the foothills of suburban Denver, including the suspected shooter, authorities say.

@wychstreet.bsky.social Any thoughts on today's offering from the Wide World of Epstein? (either in or out of character :P) bsky.app/profile/adam...

Every year I would be down in Vegas for a big industry expo in October and then in Washington for some me time after. And I look forward very much to the day I can return to them again to visit the friends I’ve made there. Until then, and until the annexation talk and trade wars stop, well

And this is reason N of K, for some value of N < K and some very large K, why I’m all in with non-Musk platforms: my “fact check” won’t be artificially throttled by a ketamine-addled munchkin with every imaginable thumb on the scale.

I believe the free market significantly outperforms a centrally planned economy, and that social change should respect the risk/reward dynamic (if the outcomes are either "small gain" or "huge disaster", you need to be very sure you're on the right path.) Do those still count as conservative today?

Dayum, can't believe it's been four weeks. Other than the friends I miss, some of whom I can at least still stay in touch with elsewhere, this was the best decision I ever made :)

For absolutely no reason whatsoever, here’s one of my favourite songs by TMBG, and I must emphasize, it’s not topical in the least. youtu.be/kSQ8tZ35t4U?...

I have many wonderful friends I've made in the USA over the years. I look forward to nothing more than being able to see them once again, and I'm sure I will. Because the ability to endure harm far exceeds the ability to inflict it, and America WILL get her act together soon. Just.. not right now

Cassandra: "hey dad, why'd you name me after the cursed prophet from the Iliad?" Cassandra's dad: "you mean the hysterical liar from the Iliad. drink your milk." Cassandra: "but dad, raw milk isn't safe for human consumption." Cassandra's dad: "lol ok."

I had no idea, prior to today, how awesome and engaging a Spanish language version of "Still Alive" from Portal could possibly be, but it's pretty awesome. And if you're into anime music at all, check out her channel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSMO...

That this is the typical response instead of “embodies stated goals of International Men’s Day + rejects casual man-bashing”, speaks volumes of just how deficient this need is.

One of my proudest moments was breaking the tension at my grandfather's funeral, bringing the house down with a well-timed joke. My aunt came up to me after and tried to scold me, and I was like "you're still wheezing with laughter instead of crying, right?". I wouldn't change a thing :)

@kimspirit.bsky.social while I assume all shame associated with AI slop generation for the graphics, the slogan is 100% human by yours truly, inspired by the many vigorous "POS" chants in your match with Trent Farrell.

Recycling my joke. I care not :P

And not only that, but even some of the lesser cases -- you get denied at the border because the guy checking your phone is having a bad day and you forgot to reset your phone to factory settings before crossing -- simply make the math unworkable, risking thousands of dollars in bookings and tickets

I absolutely love how Adam Pearce goes from "completely exasperated authority figure" behind the fourth wall, to being exactly that when coping with the idiots and trolls online on his page. Makes me thing he channels that "aw, jees, not this shit again" energy very honestly ;)

Well folks, just dropped the bunker buster on my X account. So, if you see an alphalackey on there after 30 days, it ain't me. Time to make this the focus of my bad wrestling and video game takes, more of my horrible gringo Spanish, and random thoughts on random topics. Hashtag Feels Goodman

I consider myself a 1970s era MRA in the Warren Farrel / Christina Hoff Sommers, “male lovelylegs contest / Sadie Hawkins dances help show how the other side sees life” mold, and I consider Tate and his ilk more my opposer than any radfem caricature ever could be.

I will never not grow weary of McMahon playing the "Victor Newman's Evil Twin" look here.

"Hogan, you are going ONE on ONE with... the Undertaker"

The poster is a *perfect* example of a poster doing all it needs to do to sell the movie.

@ladybugzie.bsky.social I have to ask if you’ve had a chance to return to Kojima’s Wide World of Weirdness with Death Stranding 2 — and if so, your thoughts.

Death Stranding 2 baybee let’s gooooooo

TFW you have friends who like #WWE so much, you can chirp their DMs

Why the heck not?

🎶And the hero, born of woman, crushed the serpent with his heel; his truth is marching on!🎶 Not a bad way to spend a Monday night.
