This Halloween Horror Nights season in Orlando I will try to do “WWE Presents: The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks” as manny times as possible! Follow my thread for the journey! (Undocumented I did it twice during team member preview) #HHN#HHN2025#universalorlando#wwe
I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.
🛍 Donald’s new “summer” meet and greet outfit will debut in the Parks from July 6, a collaboration with the merchandise teams that will simultaneously launch a collection inspired by the new look in the shops.

I met Ben once. We were seated at the same dinner table.
At first, we did not recognise each other. Neither of us had any idea we would end up at the same table.
I asked him where I knew him from. He replied, “Ben, from Ben & Jerry’s.”
I smiled and said, “Nice to meet you. I’m Alex, Deputy Consul General of Israel to the Southeastern United States.”
This was at the height of the Ben & Jerry’s Israel controversy. I decided not to raise politics, out of respect for our gracious host. But I was also biding my time, because I suspected he would not be able to resist bringing it up.
About an hour into dinner, he came over to talk.
I saw it as an opportunity to understand where he was coming from, to explain a few things, and to keep the conversation as civil as possible. And to be fair, it was civil. He was pleasant, curious, and polite.
But quite quickly, I also realised he was completely ignorant about Israel.
He had never visited the country or the region. He had basic facts wrong, not only about the narrative, but about the foundations of the conflict itself: the makeup of the countries involved, the history, and the deeply rooted reasons each side sees the conflict the way it does.
For him, it was simple: there are people who appear oppressed, so someone must be the oppressor.
I do not blame Ben personally. He is a businessman who sells ice cream. Why should he be expected to understand Israel, the Middle East, or geopolitics?
The real problem is with those who treat him as an authority.
The media gives him a pedestal to speak about issues he clearly does not understand. And that is the absurdity of it all: taking an ice cream salesman and presenting him as a voice of moral clarity on one of the most complex conflicts in the world.
Rabbi Nechemia Schusterman, Chabad rabbi in @CityofPeabodyMA , Massachusetts writes:
"Over the past few weeks, a series of deeply disturbing incidents have taken place in our otherwise peaceful community of Peabody, and I feel compelled to share them and ask for the awareness and partnership of both my Jewish and non-Jewish neighbors.
Last weekend, my brother-in-law was walking to synagogue when someone in a passing car shouted “Heil Hitler” at him. A few days later, (yesterday and today) during the holiday of Shavuot—a time of joy and unity celebrating the receiving of the Torah—a car drove by and yelled “Free Palestine.” I was then told to “go f*** yourself,” followed by “f***ing Jews,” and then something even more vile—that I should “r*pe my daughters.”
I don’t repeat this lightly, but it is important to be honest about what is being said out loud, on our streets, in our town.
Today, my 15-year-old son was also targeted—spat at from a passing car and called “dirty Jew.” What was especially disturbing was that it was not just a reckless teenager, but the adult—(the father?) who shouted it over the crouching and squirming teen beside him. These are not isolated incidents. They are happening with increasing frequency, and they are affecting our families and our sense of safety."

The Klu Klux Klan used to march through black neighbourhoods in the 50s and 60s, seeking to intimidate black residents and assert white supremacy.
Now antisemites march through Jewish neighbourhoods, seeking to intimidate Jewish residents and assert anti-Jew supremacy.
It was racism then and it’s racism now.
On Saturday I went to my synagogue.
I was checked by security at the gates. I passed protective railings, and then a guard at the front door buzzed me in. Another guard waited inside.
Just wondering. Is this normal for Christians, Muslims or Hindus in the UK? Or only for Jews?
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…

This is what we mean when we say to never treat your company like family. They do not care about you. You could LITERALLY give your kidney to save your boss's life and they'll still fire you bc your recovery is taking too long. NEVER put your job or company first. EVER.
