The latest addition to our little family and she's been given a hell of a role model (as well as her PERFECT older brother) 🥰

Nothing matters, fetch anyway. 🤼 #aew

Phone cameras are legit amazing these days.

No filter, no special settings or editing other than a crop, just the best photo of the moon I've ever taken.

And Mercedes seems like a more obvious opponent than Bayley for me.

She was a Bayley superfan and her most famous moment was being made to cry by Sasha Banks/having her headband stolen.

Izzy holding that grudge long enough to fuel getting into wrestling writes itself and tbh I wanna see that 🤷🏼

The Albionist @thealbionist.bsky.social · 2d

Not for me. I think it'd be a fun story for TV and an awesome little milestone for Izzy.

"But you have to mention WWE" sorta falls over when Undisputed Kingdom, Hurt Syndicate and "Youthinkyouknewhim" are fine.

One of the refreshing things about AEW is it DOES admit wrestlers had previous lives.

Some folks have reported experiencing extended nausea and dizziness since being tear gassed in Brighton Park on Saturday. General reminder to seek medical care even if you think you can tough it out—document it all and start a paper trail. You never know if you may need it.

I can't believe my teenage self believed the cool kids when they said Enya was boring.

Great Thunberg is tougher than all our Dads.

The simplification of history and political discourse to 140 character soundbites is a wound our collective intellect may never recover from.

My first act as Overlord will be to burn social media to the ground and bring back the forums.

I'm sceptical about French Fancies, but this is definitely true of Haribo Tangfastics.

Once they've firmed up a bit they ascend to confection perfection.

I instinctively bump the volume up a couple of points if a cool promo/entrance or something happens.. and it never gets bumped down, so I usually end an episode at about twice the volume it started 🤷🏼

If you're seeing ICE recruitment commercials on TNT during #AEWCollision, here's the feedback form.

Tell the networks to say NO to ICE during our AEW shows!

Fuck ICE. Fuck Fascism.

Just look at these thick-as-pigshit highlighters. Proud of your big day out wrestling old ladies?

All we ever needed to see beat cops for was directions.

COPS DONT STOP CRIME

They just wander round intimidating Londoners after it.

How about work out who stole all the country's fucking money?

Ruth Holliday @ruthholliday.bsky.social · 5d

Well, I for one, feel a lot safer now she’s off our streets!

It's not comfortable viewing at all, but everyone in London, in fact everyone in the UK should watch the BBC Panorama on the Met.

"Some of those that work forces"

Was true, is true, will be true unless we start having HONEST conversations about policing.

#BBCPanorama #Panorama #London

Ok so this type of gratuitous British flaggery I might be able to get onboard with 🤼

Can we just take a moment to notice how staggeringly amazing Sheila Hancock is at NINETY TWO YEARS OLD.

Sharp, quick-witted, amazing timing and fucking radiant.

Absolute national treasure.

Oh, I'm so sorry to read this. A good pet really makes a house a home. Sending all the loving vibes.

There are flows more dexterous.

There are voices more silky.

There are rhymes more intelligent and subject matters better explored.

BUT

2Pac is still the best rapper that ever held a mic.

All it ever takes me to remember is a single verse. Nobody put it ALL together like him.

The Albionist @thealbionist.bsky.social · 5d

This is true of ALL police and armed forces in the US, the UK and nearly everywhere else.

Normal people don't apply for jobs like these. Those that do need HEAVY vetting.

Clamouring to be the guy that breaks families apart at gunpoint is rarely indicative of a good person.

Julian Sanchez @normative.bsky.social · 6d

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.
