If you told me 10 years ago that I would be having a play-by-play conversation about the ALDS Game 5 in the 15th inning with my good friend Taz I would have said you are completely out of your mind. But here we are.

Get well soon, Taz.

On the other app, it’s all men in my replies about a pregnant woman and some dumbass using Grok

On World Mental Health Day, I'm thinking of those who...
Are struggling in silence
Have faced stigma & judgment
Are on a healing journey
Support a loved one dealing with mental health challenges
Need a reminder that its okay to ask for help
Courageously share their stories

The Insurrection Act and Martial Law are different. The main difference between them is whether we have constitutional rights or not. You have freedom of movement under the Insurrection Act. Under Martial Law, you have no rights. We need to understand these nuances. They will be used against us.

Kylie vacated the Women’s ID Championship on 9/22 & was informed today that they weren’t renewing her contract. As Mike Gilbert said on the other app, the contract should’ve been paused.

A screenshot from WWE ID’s Twitter stating the WWE ID Women’s Championship is now vacant. They congratulated & thanked Kylie. The tweet was posted at 8:24 PM ET on 9/22/25.

Agreed. I think some also realized that WWE wanted to change everything about them & weren’t going to let it happen.

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

It’s completely unsurprising.

After not getting Zayda Steele to stay and what they did to Kylie, I don’t see how they keep going. They had a few other wrestlers leave the program early on too.

Not renewing the contract of a pregnant wrestler is an awful look.
