I realize that FB mom groups are an echo chamber of entitlement... but I find it really, REALLY hard to respect my daughter's wishes to bite my tongue when I see one complaining about how her son got fired, when the mom doesn't know he was fired for harassing my kid after she rejected him. 😶

Ngl, seeing wrestlers do weird shit like this is a vibe. More Harley Cameron singing 2000s R&B is my jam.
Harley Cameron sang Cater 2 U by Destiny’s Child on Agent00’s stream.

I hope Ted Lasso never ends because it's a fantastic salve for the times in which we live.

I'm not kidding. The show can be about absolutely nothing and I would eat it up like candy.

Major props for breaking it down for the home audience.

Also, the entire thing gave me flashbacks to when I used to work facilities for football games. What a logistical nightmare they can be.

JK Rowling's next book should be titled, "Bill Maher and the Inability to Shut the Fuck Up."

Bill Maher is undefeated at being the worst.
Bill Maher doesn’t grasp the concept of “beloved entertainer.” “But I’m too edgy to be beloved” George Carlin was edgy. So was Richard Pryor. They were beloved and deeply mourned. You’re just a dick, Bill. Only assholes will be sorry when you’re gone.

It blows my mind that a 32" TV was $550 about 20 years ago, and now they can be had for less than $100 with tons more features and higher resolution even in this economy.

50" TVs were well over $1k back then and now you can get them for roughly $300.

We did not deserve Dolly Parton. One of the few celebs who truly had been as good as she'd seemed.

She had a profound impact on countless kids, including our youngest daughter. There may never again be someone who had such reach, do so much good with the power they'd had.

Forever our Miss Dolly.

Watched it, and I actually like it for what it is. Standard Jason Statham movie. I'll probably end up legit buying it.

*Parenting Rant*

It amazes me that a generation raised on television and the early days of the Internet, has grown up to become radically anti-screen with their own kids and will dog any parent who dares suggest *any* screen usage before the age of 12.

What are we even doing here, guys?

If you told me 5 years ago that one of my all-time favorite matches would be mask-vs-mask b/w an American and German working the same gimmick, booked by The Undertaker, produced by a Brit, in Lucha Libre AAA acquired by WWE, free on YouTube w/ 2M live viewers on a Sat night, I'd have superkicked you

Drake waited literal years to diss Kendrick again? Does this man understand how rap beefs work? SMH.

Mortal Kombat II was the first movie I've seen in theaters since 2023 and it was a fantastic popcorn flick. Definitely made for fans of the games. Solid 8/10 from me.

Fight choreography was great. Basically an improvement over the 2021 reboot in every way.

*checks notes* Noted environmental philanthropist Ted Turner? He hated wokeness? Got it.

SMH.
Trump: "Ted Turner, one of the Greats of All Time, just died. He founded CNN, sold it, and was personally devastated by the Deal because the new ownership took CNN, his 'baby,' and destroyed it. It became woke, and everything that he is not all about."

Mania Night 2 much better than Night 1, and I largely was fine w/ Night 1; bigger feel, better matches, the works.

Excellent main event even if I was slightly sour at the outcome. However, this opens the door for the annointing of a new star if they play their cards right w/ the expected challenger

Like many fans, I will always have some criticisms of wrestling booking.

And while this doesn't excuse bad decisions, they can easily be explained by how difficult it is to book wrestling in general.

Hell, I can barely maintain a WWE 2K video game Universe mode beyond two months. Shit's hard, man.

The gag reflex-triggering element of this aside, it really shows the influence of professional wrestling presentation on mainstream media.

I don't say that as a pejorative, as wrestling has permeated much of pop culture in ways that people don't even realize.

Idk guys, I feel like this orange dude probably isn't the Anointed One if he's feuding with the Pope, of all people.

I'm just saying.

My favorite Raven and favorite overall football player of all-time.

An awful lot of words (emphasis on "awful") just to finger-wag and continue to do nothing.

Yeah, this fucking sucks.

Monopolies are bad, but Netflix was the lesser of two evils because this continues the enshittification of CNN while Netflix was only interested in everything outside of WBD's cable arm.
Paramount has paid Netflix $2.8B to terminate its merger agreement with Warner Bros

Paramount is expected to announce it’ll acquire Warner Bros for $110B later today

We see a lot of limb loss and stroke patients at work. I've gotten to know a lot of wonderful people. Prosthesis and orthotics are a big part of improving their quality of life.

These ghouls can get fucked.
Dr Oz: "We're announcing a 6 month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment -- prosthesis, orthotics -- supplies across the board."
