Okay, so I didn’t catch this before, as my knowledge of politics is limited ever since I moved away. But the Senate Leader’s son is a Supreme Court justice? And he doesn’t recuse himself from the numerous lawsuits involving his daddy? That’s remarkably corrupt even for the NCGOP

He’s the type that if someone tried to challenge him to a fight, he’d have a bodyguard to protect him, all the while talking about how he could TOTALLY kick that person’s ass.

If only there was a wrestler who could lead the same effort that Cung Le did against UFC/Zuffa.

In any case, this is fucked, even by WWE standards.

Sources tell myself that Ridge Holland was not paid beyond his WWE deal for the TNA bookings that led to his injury. Holland is now without guaranteed pay while he heals up for the next six months

Carolina is locked into a great game with Dallas, and judging by the crowd you’d think it’s an away game

This announcer for Panthers-Dolphins has me ready to run through a wall. He must really enjoy not having to call a Hornets game for once

Continued video of feds gassing protestors and CPD alike. In the chaos one woman came to a CPD officer asking for help for a relative that she says feds just grabbed.

Officer response: "We just clocked in. We don't know what's going on."

I clicked on a video from Bill Maher’s show thinking it was @vanlathan.bsky.social

Turns out I read it too fast, and it was Van Jones. Boy what a shocking disappointment that video turned out to be.

2002 Bonds was so other-worldly that I saw this and just assumed it was true.

Tim Marchman @timmarchman.bsky.social · 16d

Barry Bonds was thrown precisely 149 strikes in 2002 and connected with every single one of them for either a base hit or a home run.
