the discourse around Lanterns shows why comic book projects don’t usually dare to take on some of the deeper societal issues in their shows because you guys can’t handle nuance and truly see everything as black and white.

you are uncomfortable acknowledging racism, and also uncomfortable acknowledging how John’s parents are using racism which is a real issue and weaponizing it against their own son for John Sr’s failure at becoming the Lantern because the ring CHOSE HIM FIRST.

you are uncomfortable acknowledging that Hal will never have to have some of the obstacles John has due to race, but not seeing how the show is screaming at you that Bernadette’s worldview is flawed and she isn’t acknowledging Hal’s own fearless built from watching his father blow up as a child which TRAUMATIZED him and gave him a large portion of his fearlessness, something John has never had to experience.

you see the abusive cycle John is put through in the show and the way Bernadette justifies it and think the show is trying to tell you this is just because Hal is white. No

Episode 3 of Lanterns wants you to UNDERSTAND John, not tell you Hal shouldn’t have the ring because he’s white 🤦‍♀️

All the braindead tourist takes about the end of Destiny 2 are gonna put me in an early grave. Yeah, it didn't end because of poor management, questionable franchise decisions, lack of significant updates etc. It ended because they made a trans pin & a rainbow shader, bro staple ur whole mouth shut fr

[Shawn (with an NBA title) @shawnwithaW_]

Any other team with a title drought this long, being led by an undersized player counted out his whole life (playing with his best friend from college!) would capture the hearts of the entire country.

But since New York slander is America’s Viagra, here we are.

It’s taken me two full days to respond to all my texts. I hadn’t been on social media until today and I’m overwhelmed by all the messages here too. So much love.

So I can’t help but to be filled completely with gratitude…

My story has been nothing short of remarkable and I am truly blessed to have had such an illustrious, accolade-laden and, most importantly, fun-filled career. I made my childhood dream become the most wonderful reality.

Throughout this journey, I’m so thankful to have been surrounded by great friends and to have built so many unbreakable connections with people that I’m very proud to call my family.

Most people go through life without ever experiencing a love like I have for Woods and E. That bond alone would have made this whole experience worth it.

There are far too many people to mention by name here, but to everyone who has ever supported me, guided me, helped me, taught me, cheered for me, praised me, stood up for me, and even rooted against me: Thank you. I appreciate you more than words can say.

My main mission has always been a simple one: To provide a comfortable life filled with heartwarming memories for my family. And, largely in part to all of you, I can proudly say that I have achieved that goal and more.

This wasn’t supposed to be a novel, so let me wind it down with some advice:

Do your best to live a life without regrets, control what you can control, always give it your all, and fight hard for what you believe in.

Do not ever compromise or accept less than your due when it comes to your worth.

Find the courage to believe in yourself and fearlessly pursue your goals and dreams, because anything is possible.

The kid that was too small, short, skinny, and scrawny was never supposed to make it in this land of giants…yet here we are.

And so…

…as the sun sets on one chapter, so too must it rise in another. Tomorrow is indeed…a New Day. ☀️

They sought mainstream coverage and acceptance. Mainstream outlets are burying the show. They do things believing it’ll attract extra casual eyeballs. Casuals on IG, TikTok, Twitter thought the show sucked.

The truth is it’s entertainment for nobody except soulless content creators that attend the event as a show of status. And media partners.

Stephen A has to sit there and pretend to know and care about pro wrestling while his alleged favorite team was playing a playoff game. Remember this when he makes severe, declarative takes on First Take about the NBA playoffs.

It’s a 4 hour ad grab. They’ve even forgone video packages in the name of more ads. They know the audience is a bunch of suckers. You have WWE fans paying $40 to watch this event and defending commercials, you can’t help these people.

WWE has always been about the pomp and circumstance, the pageantry, the theatrics, but it always did its brand of entertainment within the confines of a wrestling promotion. At present, it has never ever felt like less of a wrestling promotion.

I don’t say this because it brings me joy to say, I’m a big fan of numerous talents on the roster. I say it, because it is so blatantly the truth now, and there’s no revoking of access that any company can dangle over me that’ll discourage me from being honest.

Not only is it not actually for the casuals or the hardcores, it’s not even for the wrestlers themselves. I actually feel bad for the talent who still dream of getting their big wrestlemania stage appearance and match. The people on that undercard were background actors. Outside of your top guys, the stars of the show were Hulk Hogan, Wheatley’s American Vodka, RAM Trucks, Minute Maid, and Fanatics.

It’s not going to get better. The people that run this operation are all focused on preserving their backs and making sure the money continues to roll in at the same rate and they’ll do whatever they need to get there, even if it means an extra ad where video packages used to be. Ads where a charming backstage segment used to be.

It’s not for you or me, it’s a ruse. The undercard talent only get to have actual matches on the TVs and the big show hits you over the head that the TV doesn’t actually matter. You’re insulted for caring and paying attention because the TV stories are incongruous with the things that happen on the big show.

In past bad eras of WWE, it was bad wrestling produced by wrestling minds. This is something entirely different. To describe it as a facsimile of wrestling would be too charitable to its proximity to pro wrestling. It is a dystopian, synthetic, cynical, corporatized, vaguely similar recreation of a sports entertainment product and it’s produced by businessmen that’ll free their hands of it and dump it off to the next sucker that’ll buy it the first chance they get.
