This is just an observation, but without fail, aew fans are the most tribal, and at the same time, the biggest snowflakes.

Its like, they claim to be fans of aew, but constantly have to the need to defend that fandom, yet mos their defense just seems to be "wwe bad", which is tired and lame

I am going through the worst depression ever. The person I loved the most in the world, took away what I love most in the world.

I have been dealing with the loss for weeks, and the only conclusion I've come to is I dont want to do this anymore.

I want off this ride.

So, I get a knock on my door and see a mail man standing there.

I'm also, pretty baked.

He hands me an envelope, and as I am signing for it, I question why, and realize it registered mail.

At that moment I heard @marcmaron.bsky.social,'s voice in my head saying "this can't be good"

All is well

Here me out.

It's not perfect, but aew fight forever is a pretty damn good game. There are a lot of cool ideas, and I actually like the career mode.

I think people expected way too much from this game, and put WAY too much pressure on it

I have said this a lot, but almost every time i open @fadeinpro.com, I see there is another FREE update.

I paid once.

And we are on version 5.

This fucking company rules.

I love gunther.

He's not interested in being a cool heal.

He's just an asshole

Sometimes dumb things annoy me here is an example. I did a hardware upgrade, got a new phone yesterday.

I decide to take a cab from the mall, the driver, ripped me off, but whatever.

What annoyed was, as soon as he sees my phone he goes "new phone?" And reaches for it, ro see it.

Like, the fuck?

While working a gig tonight, one of my colleagues asked me why I am so quick to share self-deprecating/embarrassing stories that make them laugh.

And I said simply "I genuinely don't care what people of me, I like getting a laugh, even at my own expense, and I'm a writer,so it may be bullshit" 😃

Huh, a producer just expressed interest in my martial arts script

One of my favourite things about being a writer. Is the "writers revenge curse".

Years ago, I was writing a story for client. At my day job, I had a shitty boss.

So, I loosely based a villainous character who falls into a vat of shit after that dude.

I got to blow off steam and be productive

I saw a clip of some guy at the aew ppv, running the length of the top rope, on two sides of the ring. Like an an L.

Sometimes I see things in wrestling that makes my brain go "well that should be impossible"

This, is a loaded question but I am just curious....any experienced actors on this app?
July 23, 2026 at 7:35 PM
Have you ever been so pissed at someone, but are also so much of a nerd, that during the course of an argument you flat out recited a monologue from a Shakespeare play?

I was as suprised having said it as my friend was hearing it.

It was then I remembered knows WAY more Shakespeare than me. Fuck

I watched The Time Machine from 2002, not bad.

I spoke to my parents on the phone today, and at one point, speaking to my 78 year old dad, I ask how he is, but hear him drifting away like he is distracted, then mum pops on

"We're fine."

"Wtf?"

"You're dad is watching tv, and got distracted by a pretty girl who came on screen"

Never change.

I'm in line at McDonald's, guy ahead kf me is holding a little dog under his arm like a suitcase.

The dogs tail is wagging a mile a second.

Dogs rule

This might be a hot take, but the Canadian actor Saul Rubinek, doesn’t get enough credit.

He absolutely slays every single role he plays.

I watched him in 4 or four episodes of a show called Person Of Interest, and yeah, he fucking blows everyone away on screen..

I have made myself a promise.

I will only use the generative AI, to erase my cunt sister from family photos, and only tje ai that is in the gallery section of Samsung phones

And replace her with me, in family photos I am not in.

I have a confession. I feel like a bit of a hypocrite regarding the The Odyssey.

I don't care about the casting, its a Chris Nolan movie, so that is enough to know the movie will be amazing,

But, Enola Holmes 3, was filmed and set in Malta, but, 3 Maltese actors in the entire cast? That bugs me

I am such bad shape, I just did ten push-ups, only on the first 2 didn't require my knees on the ground, and even then, the last 3 were a struggle and I didn't get as low as I wanted.

First time ive done push-ups in like a while.

I gotta fix that bullshit

Six years ago i wrote a five minute short film i had intended to direct and co-star in

Now I approached a director friend with the project, and I will produce, and ideally not appear in it

Does anyone else remember the band Rock bitch?
July 13, 2026 at 4:06 AM
I don't know why. But over the past month, I have been, feeling more like myself than I have in years.

More confident in myself, skills and values.

Like ive woken up from a nitemare where I was an absolute pussy for too long.

@ellestanger.bsky.social question ma'am, do you have any thoughts, good or bad about the Nordic model regarding sex work in Canada?
July 4, 2026 at 1:12 AM
Lately I've seen a lot of cosplay photos I admitly don't always know the charecters.

But, fucking honestly, especially with the homemade stuff, I constantly blown away. That is a type of creativity that blows me away & is just beyond me. Then all the work that goes into making the thing. I couldn't
