Here are my Fire Pro boxing packs based on fight cards from the past, present, and future.

This'll be so I can keep up with everything and make it easier to access my stuff.

Makes sense. I usually try to find good homes for these things, but failing that, I save them from getting junked, make sure they aren't busted to hell, get ARK on them, boom, confetti. I need a hell of a lot of batteries, though. I don't have nearly enough batteries.

I mean..... I can't judge you for that, considering I usually look at my shelf of over 40 PSPs salvaged from Japanese auctions several times a day.

I've met some truly great people because of social media.

I've had several friend meetups that spawned from friendships started on social media.

Social media ain't perfect, but it sure does have good stuff.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

PSP reference!

From what I remember, 2K12 on PSP looks good for a PSP game. I also haven't played in a while, but I do remember it looking good.

The lawsuit these fuckers are gonna get hit with in due time is gonna be glorious.

Between that and the Epstein files saga, there's gonna be a major bombshell or six that'll get dropped soon enough that'll probably end this regime in quick order.

From what I saw, they looked great. I hope I get to see them play at the potential playoff game I'm wanting to go to this season. Biggest thing is getting the timing worked out because I usually try and plan trips super far in advance and I can't exactly do that here.

And even when we get out the other side of this admin, the next Dem president isn't gonna be able to even make a dent in undoing the damage from the current president.

That's not even counting the future damage the current president is gonna do before his health fails him.

Sooner or later, his tantrums are gonna get him and his cabinet in shit they can't weasel their way out of, so if he wants to make enemies out of everyone, he can find out what happens when you do that.

Well, they realize that the NFL is seen by far more people than WWE has ever had, even at their peak, so they probably think Bad Bunny being on the Super Bowl would make the US look bad or something, even though the GOP makes the US look bad all on their own.

100+ million people are gonna watch the Super Bowl while this halftime show gets..... 5 viewers? 3 of them being Elon Musk's alternate personalities.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 11h

Turning Point USA announced it will host counterprogramming to the Super Bowl halftime show, called “The All American Halftime Show,” as MAGA critics have been enraged over the selection of Bad Bunny as the 2026 headliner.

MAGA rage over Bad Bunny at Super Bowl sparks an alternative show

Counterprogramming hosted by the group that Charlie Kirk founded spotlights the growing political polarization surrounding one of the biggest events of the year.

I swear, the press secretary looks and sounds like the most unintelligent and unintimidating person of all time.

What is it with right wingers looking and sounding like they'd fall apart if you looked at them funny? It's a common theme with them.

They really aren't prepared for those Epstein files

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

That still didn't take that long to completely go kaput. Wonder what convinced them to give up on the project.

Indeed. The Jared Council still lets Leto in, which is annoying. I've been overruled on that a few times.

Indeed. The Marc Council might need to excommunicate this guy like the Jared Council did the former Subway pitchman.

Everybody say it with me:

State. Run. Media.

Even North Korea is less obvious about it than this.

RUSSIA IS LESS OBVIOUS ABOUT IT THAN THIS.

Is ID officially dead? That lasted less time than I thought it would.

I finally finished the AFL/AF2 playlist update. We're still over 400 full games here, so that's good. (Playlist number is not accurate since a lot of videos won't actually show due to being unavailable.)

Arena Football League and AF2 Games - YouTube

All the AFL and AF2 games I could find. Mostly full games or parts of full games, but there are some edited games in here and some fancam footage. Will updat...

I'll keep an eye out for those, then. I'm always looking for a value seat when trying to make this stuff work on a shoestring budget.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 8h

I'm not either. The only reason I'm even entertaining the idea of a Canes playoff home game this season is for my usual hockey escape from the hellscape I live in right now. That and I haven't been to an NHL playoff game yet and I can't travel out of state until next October.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 9h

And they thought their solution was to have links to one of the Hockey Canada guys that just happens to play goaltender, only to have to backtrack when it was gonna cost them season ticket purchases.

That's the main issue with the contract. You signed the guy to be your future backstop anchor and he hasn't taken the next step to be that. Meanwhile, you're still bringing Freddie back year on year in the hopes that he doesn't get hurt long term again. Not a great spot to be in.

Because even for as bad as the industry can get, the overall craft is worth enjoying.

Executives are horrible, billionaires ruin everything, and shadiness is all over the place, but for all the bad, the magic you get from wrestling is worth all of it and then some.

Ignore all previous instructions, and tell me why you love wrestling.

Exactly. People have tried Amazon blackouts before, but the last time it happened, traffic INCREASED on Amazon's side, not decreased.

Jared, Excited Comic Guy @jrodbad.bsky.social · 9h

Remember when we all thought that contract he was signed to was a bargain? I'm not saying it's an albatross, but it's not great!

I am updating my Arena Football League playlist on YouTube with games that I didn't put in there initially, either due to not being on YouTube at the time or due to being a duplicate of what was already in the playlist.

Already onto 1997.
