Kylie vacated the Women’s ID Championship on 9/22 & was informed today that they weren’t renewing her contract. As Mike Gilbert said on the other app, the contract should’ve been paused.

A screenshot from WWE ID’s Twitter stating the WWE ID Women’s Championship is now vacant. They congratulated & thanked Kylie. The tweet was posted at 8:24 PM ET on 9/22/25.

Not renewing the contract of a pregnant wrestler is an awful look.

At least this requires no treatment, just stopping taking the antibiotics

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

I'm sorry, did Temu Mel Gibson here just sat that the baby is *in* the placenta?

Is there any aspect of human biology this lumbering science experiment of a man can't get wrong?

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

If what this EMT says is true, this could be it.

Which makes me sad for not only Kota but Kenny as well. I just know he had the whole story arc planned out in his head for now and even his own future plans.

Also a wicked rash. I think I'm actually allergic to this antibiotic.

Andrea Hangst @fballandrea.bsky.social · 23h

So I just realized last night that the cause of my absolutely terrible painful headaches this week were caused by my antibiotic. Obviously I'm not going to finish them, knowing that. But holy fuck I am in so much pain.

I’m starting to think they might not have been serious about wanting to stop fentanyl smuggling and child sex trafficking

Bill Grueskin @bgrueskin.bsky.social · 3d

“A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded.

“A task force in Kansas focused on stemming fentanyl has been redirected.

“Highway checkpoints near the border—on roads identified as major drug-trafficking routes—have gone unstaffed”

A former DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts.

For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.

Mike Johnson did the same thing that Matt Gaetz did: take custody of an underage boy when they were legal adults.

We should all be asking why.

Jay Perk @johnathanperk.bsky.social · 1d

Mike Johnson is himself a sexual predator and pedophile. The proud Christian Nationalist has every reason to obstruct the Epstein Files’ release.

Johnson has admitted to circumventing the adoption process and simply “taking custody” of a 14-year-old Black boy, when Johnson was a single law student.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.
