repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Resist, persist, exist

Even if that's defiantly existing, it's all needed

So every reblog and like and read has come as a very pleasant surprise!

I just want to thank everybody

Title Tuesday completely snuck up on us here at #AEWeekly, & we were completely unprepared to publish a day early to avoid our thoughts on LAST week's programs being sort of moot

We weren't sure if people would still care when a new week had already begun last night

Pro Wrestling Musings @pwmusings.bsky.social · 1d

Just in time for tonight's #AEWDynamite, here is the latest #AEWeekly about the best of the previous week...

I'm sorry, Dynamite was LAST night?

Oh, well! Still read some more thoughts on Kris Statlander being main character, now for 3 weeks running!

The thing is: I do love Kris, but
... a month ago, I dunno if she would've been in my top 10 in AEW. Maybe top 10 of the women's division, but just on the edge of it

She has SERIOUSLY stepped it up since getting that Gold, proving she belongs in her new spot

If god’s dick is always infinite to begin with how can he get a boner.

Can god’s dick be smaller than god without being smaller than infinity.

Does god scratch his balls. How.

We need to understand these things. Gender critical Christians alone can answer. Ask them constantly.

I have not been paying attention to WWE for a LONG time, so my legit reaction to this skeet was "Santo who???" & a quick search then "oh damn, King Cuerno? hell yeah"

Let's not forget that the first universal nation-wide credit score system in the US, the FICO score, has only existed since 1989

gamera obscura @ohrobin.bsky.social · 2d

Extremely un-friendly reminder that "credit scores" are predatory, discriminatory, controlled by for-profit companies, and should be abolished.

A pro wrestling heel helped change Memphis seating habits. I’ve written about Sputnik Monroe’s case for the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame, and how wrestling can bend civic life in surprising ways.

Sputnik Monroe

The wrestler who sold the hottest ticket in Memphis and then told the city where to sit.

Almost every writer would rather hear "hey, love the piece, but was that one bit a typo, cause I didn't quite follow?" than some insistence that the great writer could never be in error, or if he was, let's all pretend otherwise, because after all he's giving us all this writing for free.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

My phone knows I'm a sucker for an article about old popular music. But in these days of little to no proofreading, errors abound...

Check out this snippet from an article about "3 influences on Springsteen's Born to Run", see if you can spot a 4th, obscured by bad close-caption:

In an interview with the BBC, Springsteen said he'd been listening to Duane Eddy, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan & "inspector records" and those influenced "Born to Run"

#AEWDynamite

Anybody else impressed by the thorough glowup on NEW World Champ Kris Statlander last night?

Seemed more assured on the mic, cool new entrance and logo, cool new gear and whatever that jewelry on her face is...

It all feels so cohesive now!

My view is that they leave a noun out to keep the focus on the verb. AEW has the best, but so do other places. But AEW lets them WRESTLE
