The Beast Mortos got the only singles dub that matters, which is why he isn’t single anymore. #AEW

Sadly, Beast Mortos still has fewer singles victories in AEW than Mercedes has singles championships.

He has a total of 6 singles wins throughout his career in AEW.

I thought Portrait and Antichrist were good albums for what they were going for, but I didn’t take MM seriously as anything more than a shock rocker until MA came out.

I was like, “Oh. This has some depth to it.”

It’s very underrated musically, imo.

Imagine my shock when I found out Roger Waters is pro-Palestine.

I wish he was capable of being as critical and observant of himself as he is the world around him. Brian Warner lost himself in the miasma of being Marilyn Manson. Evan Rachel Wood and others paid the price.

I own this on CD, so I don't put more money in his pocket by listening to it, at least.

It was a real departure from Antichrist Superstar and I think that's what made it such a compelling piece of art.

All the people who just loved the shock rock aspect of him were disappointed, but it's still probably the most lyrically mature and poignant album he's ever made. Music is great, too.

This album was, and I guess still is, very special to me.

It holds up a mirror to society and shows it how fucked up it is.

MM is an awful human.

But I keep this one piece of his art as a reminder that you have to hold that mirror up to yourself, too, which he has never been able to do.

Is there ever a gray area where you can love the art but despise the artist?

Serious question.

I am hopeful Swerve gets the belt again for this very reason.

When he gets to tell his story through the types of media he wants to use, I think it’s gonna be something we have never, ever seen before.

AEW is letting these guys totally reinvent what it means to be a professional wrestler.

He is so bold and assertive in taking his positions that I'm starting to get concerned for his safety.

Conservatives obviously are hellbent against him, but the establishment Democratic leadership also has a LOT to lose by Mamdani-style politics becoming the norm.

I pray he remains vigilant.

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.

You know what helped my loneliness?

Really good medicine.

It gave me clarity and helped me understand the things I like about my solitary life. It also lifted the fog enough to make me want to go out every so often and just be around people.

It wasn't a trick or a "hack" - just good meds.

First of all, I’d love all those things.

Second of all, I have zero confidence that the Democratic Party of 2025 would be able to accomplish any of it.

I’ve been making spelling mistakes in some recent posts and it’s legit got me worried that I’m losing cognitive function.

Thank you, irrational anxiety.

I’ve leaned a few things in Spanish, like “I have a DoorDash for ___” and now the best part of my job is when I get to pick up from a Mexican place.

They’re so happy when someone speaks to them in their own language.

It’s a small thing, but I want them to feel welcome and wanted here.

I think it’s media fatigue. It’s been all “Tush Push” talking points for the past two years in the NFL sphere.

But also, the team is showing that it’s 4-2 record may be a little fraudulent and I personally think that’s worth discussion.

It’s a morality play merged with athletic exhibition. It’s performance art.

Who doesn’t know how it feels to be betrayed? To strive for a goal and come up short? To reunited with a long lost friend?

Wrestling taps into elemental parts of the human experience and provides much-needed catharsis.

I’ve been on Auvelity for a while now and it’s been life-changing.

I look forward to going out and spending time with people.

I’m leveraging my creativity to build something new.

I don’t feel lonely and hopeless all the time anymore.

I didn’t realize how absent I was from my own life.

I’m also not averse to using Gimp with the GimpShop plugin that had the PS layout. But that’s definitely a backup plan and not the primary option.
