What a lovely memory. Hope it brings you some joy even as you miss him.

Doubly funny since he just wrestled that same second Kyle.

OC's refusal to accept the existence of two Kyle's at once is a 10/10 bit

Yeah, my read was he figured he'd call it a career after one more big injury, but TK's kindness has given him motivation to make one more comeback. Kinda heartwarming, though I do hope he'll listen to his body if the rehab is slow-going and make a good decision in his own interests.

To this point, I think there may be a legitimate argument to make in favor of segregating genders in legitimate sports, but this is a fake sport and everyone knows it. Book the best matches and let the workers go make art.

Andrew @andrewskeets.bsky.social · 12h

Again, the irony.

You can say "period" all you want. American citizens and legal residents have been among those illegally kidnapped by these jackboot thugs, you fucking dipshit.

Andrew @andrewskeets.bsky.social · 12h

The irony of you saying this.

Andrew @andrewskeets.bsky.social · 13h

The broken humans who give TK shit for caring about his talent don't understand what it means to them. Beyond it being morally correct to treat your talent with dignity, respect, and appreciation, the retention and recruitment benefits are clear.

Kota calling TK the best president and saying he cried at the flowers he sent 😭

Andrew @andrewskeets.bsky.social · 14h

Men's wrestling and women's wrestling being separated on gender lines rankles me less than juniors being forced into their own division, but it still feels like arbitrary separation precluding the best possible matches.

I am a big proponent of full intergender. These are the most talented workers on Earth. Let them mix it up without handwringing about restrictions.

Dax having a pin attempt on Willow means the intergender genie is out of the bottle.

Can’t put it back in, I fear

Andrew @andrewskeets.bsky.social · 16h

Back then, there was more misogynistic ego involved with men putting over a woman, which I'm sure led to Chyna's involvement with men being downcycled. The AEW locker room is generally more enlightened than that.

The powers that be don't want us confronting oppression and injustice. They want us to accept it.

Alan Dettlaff @alandettlaff.com · 1d

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

Andrew @andrewskeets.bsky.social · 16h

We don't need to see, I dunno, Toni Storm vs. Hangman tomorrow or anything, but building to that shouldn't be out of bounds if they want to do that. And don't tell me the match wouldn't be good.

Two words pop into my head every time Trump reveals he is clearly & obviously unfit to serve: Jake Tapper.

Dumbest gaslighting ever. Who was president on January 6?

Poor Mark Davis having his big return being throttling a guy with a broken femur. Guess they had to make lemonade out of lemons. Heal up soon, Kota. #AEWCollision

Tony Khan "dismantled the USA scene" by...creating another national competitor to a monopoly, thereby offering workers more opportunities? Yeah, these people are dense as shit.

They blew off Aminata/Thekla with their no-holds-barred match and Hayter/Thekla never went one-on-one after Thekla put Hayter out when she debuted.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

A Tron film is never going to light up the box office because it's always been a cult thing, but Jared Leto is definitely box office poison, on top of being a weird freak.

Cosmic Marvel @dailycosmicmarvel.bsky.social · 1d

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

Nice to see a politician not only unabashedly stand up for trans folks, but do so in the context of concrete policy action. Democrats could stand to learn from this man and why he's beating out establishment contenders.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
