That's after Deutsche Bank pretty much said the same thing a week ago as well

Happy birthday to Wood 2! Not to be confused with the lesser known, Doom 2, also released on this day in 1994. ❤️

Criticised at the time for being too similar to the original Wood, Wood 2 is a stone cold classic for the more inventive forest design, new trees and double chainsaw alone.

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Wishing you all a good Mental Health Awareness Day. No matter what your headspace might tell you otherwise, you're good, you're valid and you are enough.

Idk, at least in my circles Johnny Cash always was kinda cool.

The poster of him flipping off the camera was sold in every punk rock mail-order catalogue that I got my hands on in my teenage years

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Name something you dislike in gaming 🎮

One of my minor gripes, online based achievements/trophies

I'm not an all achievement hunter, I only look to do it in games I really love...but there have been a few where there is online stuff needed to be done, even though mainly a SP game

I hate it

But this still is a mind-blowing announcement

🎃SpookyDan🎃 🪣 @nemox2001.bsky.social · 3h

Considering where these shows are, I'm always impressed at what wXw deliver when they come through once per year.

The first time I went in 2023 had Aigle Blanc vs. Axel Tischer, Last year the now New Japan Tag Champs Knock Out Boys delivered a Master Class in Heel work

It's all that is good, storytelling with and without words, comedy, violence, crazy athleticism and when done well rewarding in its little details

Noe I'll just really have to keep checking the wXw socials for the info on the Meet & Greet 😅

Having bought my ticket to that show at their last one there a year ago, this is still pretty exciting.

Limbach is a 30k people town in the middle of nowhere

Holy shit balls!!! I GET TO MEET NAITO AND BUSHI!! That's my next wXw show

On top of being a massive waste of time and money it also managed to chuck out a lot of goodwill on the Indies for those that went along with it.

You can't be "the last outlaws" and then roll over the second they knock on your door to basically run a show for that scheme

I had this conversation with a friend from Portland, it's "very European" to see this whole situation as pretty ridiculous and facing it with an equal amount of ridiculousness

(I might have suggested using the german phenomenon of eating pudding with forks in front of that building as protest)

The funniest thing to me is still that they made him get a Twitter account and his only two posts were "Hey, I'm on Twitter now" and then that Mox teaser video after he left 😂

As someone travelling internationally somewhat regularly, get to the gate, grab some food and listen to a podcast.

The check-in and security part is stressing me out as it is, I don't need an added layer of "will I get my flight" on top of it

A buddy of mine wants to make you stickers so you don't have to use racist companies like StickerMule anymore. Consider having him make stickers for you instead?

He got a good run running NXT when nobody in corporate really cared about it, that doesn't really translate well to the hellscape surrounding the main shows on tv
