Dear @tonykhan.bsky.social if you want to lose a bunch of money but do a cool thing for dorks like me please buy Comic Images and whatever game design rights you need and have them do an AEW version of Raw Deal, I promise it will be played by dozens if not hundreds of people.

I can't decide if the #AEW feed this morning is more impressive (very justified "FUCK ICE" chant permeating mainstream media) or cringey (understandable defensiveness of fans vs. understandable ignorance of media). It definitely beats ratings talk though.

MY SHADOW KNOWS MY STORYYYYYYYY

Ciampa chat reminds me of my first live show where I sat by a tiny child chanting, with a tiny child's enthusiasm and in a tiny child's voice, "PSYCHO KILLER." I will retroactively start loving professional wrestling at that moment.

A lot of wrestling nostalgia pops do nothing for me because their object predates my fandom. WWE has been dead to me long enough that now I'm not even nostalgia popping for late-2010s NXT guys. That said, great debut on #AEWDynamite and I've learned to cautiously trust Tony.

As there's a dive off the ladder by Allin, and that'll make it a countout.

This is that thing what the youths are doing, right?

Coming to MLB from AEW and I’m confused?? Why isn’t anyone chanting “Fight Forever”

Finding out what uselessness the Democrats are into now: Schumescrolling

...and this is my least favorite store on the Citadel.

I liked Andrade but um this seems like a high risk, meh reward move for a company that had been running on good vibes.

Why, though?

1. Guardians 2. Blue Jays 3. Brewers 4. Padres 5. Mariners 6. Tigers 7. Red Sox 8. Reds 9. Phillies 10. Cubs 11. Dodgers 12. Yankees

Sometimes I worry everything in my AEW fandom is chasing the high of All Out 2021. Rewatching clips from that show makes me feel like maybe that isn't such a bad thing.

"Lucky timing" is the degree of my photography skills, but eh, sometimes that's enough.

Them: what are your hobbies? Me: I love coming home and being at home and sitting inside my home and staying home.

All Elite Whistling

Heroically resisting the urge to make a formal list of AEW acts that are extremely over but do absolutely nothing for me personally.

Roses are red Violets are blue

I was sad about the prospect for a while but decided it kinda rules that he's not going to the Hall as a Red Sox, and Boston will basically be a footnote.

Cancelling plans is okay. Putting yourself first is okay. Going for a long walk is okay. Abandoning society is okay. Moving into a cave with a family of raccoons is okay. Giving them tiny swords & shields is okay. Do what you need to do to cope.

Imagine mugging Mookie Betts.

A failed comedian's Puerto Rico slander getting headlines -- and it absolutely should! -- took focus off "America for Americans only" from an actual White House guy, and that's... well I won't say if it's bad for another 9 days, but it seems weird that the Nazi rally got distilled to one thing.

Thematic whiplash from Duolingo. More complaining, less small talk, please.

All Enunciate Wrestling? Is that anything? There’s too much fucking talking on this show.

Dang it I don't know anyone to tag but thanks @thegoog.bsky.social

Doing atheist version of praying that Jhonkensy Noel isn't Rajai Davis 2024.

Thank you Aaron Civale.

Took all of five pitches to remember a reason I've mentally checked out on baseball this week. Poor Guardians, your league *does not want you there.*
