The Nana Panel Watching Collision:

An older woman with grey hair is watching a laptop. An inset in the top corner shows what she is watching. It is edited to show her watching a promo between Toni Storm and Kris Statlander where both are laying down in the ring together and Kris is gently stroking Toni's cheek. The woman says "They seem to be very good friends."

The best part is I bet the Elderly Audience is less weird about Deathmatching than a lot of Wrestling Podcasters. Just someone's Nan writing in "MAKE THAT PUNK BLEED, HANGMAN!!!"

Oh I just realised The Cat kept the half of the pencil with the eraser. That's smart. Forward planning.

Then you'd have messages from the little kids being like "Speedball is my favourite cause he does cool kicks." and I'd be like "Hell yeah, kid, you're spot on!".

My pitch is rather than posts from any social media, if they need Viewer Reactions on screen, they should set up a viewing party for Old People & Little Kids and just transcribe their thoughts throughout the episode.

Just Deidre Aged 83 calling Yuta a "little b***h who needs a haircut".

"The EU has already defined dairy items as products coming from the "normal mammary secretion". This includes products like milk, yogurt and cheese."

Normal Person: "Unless this "Oat Milk" didn't come from the Normal Mammary Secretion of an Oat then it's not Milk!!!"

"German Chancellor Friedrich Merz fully backs the ban. "A sausage is a sausage. Sausage is not vegan," he said recently."

I don't know, if a consumer eats sometimes labelled "Vegan Sausage" expecting meat, I don't think it's a problem if they're outraged. They'll live.

EU parliament votes to ban meat names for plant-based foods

Pressure to ban meat labels for plant-based products comes from Europe's livestock farmers.

Seeing people post about just getting into aew is really nice.

It's especially nice to see people who thought wrestling wasn't "for them" get into it because it's a credit to the section of fans & parts of AEW as a company that work hard to make AEW open for everyone & have something for all tastes & not accept than "It's For An Ageing Male Audience" "logic".

I mean, it's the same broadcaster that put Caroline's Bestie in I'm A Celeb so worry they'll learn nothing from shooting themselves in the foot again.

I suspect they're pissed their twist got Emily out Night 1 as she likely had better Media Training to be "Controversial" in a broadcastable way.

The comments he made that aired and seemingly weren't given warnings included referring to Trans People as an "ideology" children need to be protected from, and repeated Anti-Immigrant sentiments so how bad did he go for ITV to deem it unbroadcastable? #BBUK

Deeply unsurprising that Big Brother cast an outspoken Right-Winger and he managed to cross the line repeatedly within 10 Days of being in there.

Sadly, I worry this is a result he'll be happy with and is ready to turn into a Right-Wing Grift of being "Cancelled by ITV for His Views". #BBUK

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

George has been removed from the #BBUK House following repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour.

He's in tonight's episode but his comments WON'T air as they'd break broadcasting standards. This follows SEVERAL warnings, many of which weren't aired due to the language used.

Absolutely awful transphobia (as well as homophobia at Nancy's Pansexuality) from Caroline towards Zelah.

I fucking hate that I can't trust the UK Media and much of the British Public to not side with the Transphobic Comments.

Really hope Zelah is supported when he comes out of the house. #BBUK

Tony Khan revealed who he thinks the #AEW Counterparts of DC Heroes and Villains are and I think he nailed Mox as Batman because they both have adopted so many Troubled Youths to be their Sons. 🤼

Tweet by Drainmaker
"Tony Khan on who he thinks are the Superheroes/Supervillains of AEW:

- Batman = Jon Moxley
- Wonder Woman = "Timeless" Toni Storm
- Superman = Hangman Page
- Lex Luthor = MJF

What if this backfires and PAC decides being Dry and Clothed is also too over for his heel act like he did with being Wet and In Full Gear and ends up splitting the difference and comes out Slightly Damp and Partially Disrobed?

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

Yep! That was the one! Thank you. Here's a better quality pic of Glasses Hanger.

Bad week for my Sports Teams. Turns out tying a portion of your mental wellbeing to a bunch of athletes you don't know and will likely never even meet isn't a great idea.

If Bluesky dies, I'm not going back to Twitter. When I go back to see like Sport Clips or the like, it is somehow worse than the last time I visited.

May just starting attaching my thoughts to carrier pigeons as my social media.

Sorry for low quality. Only image I could find and think it's from BTE but would take a long time to find which ep.

Can't decide if this manages to be worse than Brian Cage's "yummy" penis. 🤼‍♂️

Tweets from 18th February 2018
Brian Cage replying to someone who said he had a small penis: "Well this so called very small appendage is being used on and got Melissa Santos (tagged) pregnant. So I think your comment loses, I win."
Melissa Santos replies: "LOL babe. Why respond to this troll? We both know you have the yummiest, most good looking penis ever. Like I always tell you sex shops should model their penis after yours. #best"
