Let me get this straight: it was too expensive to cancel up to $400 billion in student loan debt (which would have freed up the spending power of millions of Americans so money going back into the economy). So instead, [checks notes] we're going to give $300 billion to Iran.
If the USA weren't such a broken country, Iran getting $425 BILLION would be the death knell and impeachment of any president in history.
What an absolute embarrassment of an admin.
Hazuki vs Mercedes RULED. At minimum, a top five Mercedes match in AEW.
The spirit of WCW lives on in AEW, where someone like Hazuki who isn’t established on TV can come in and the crowd reacts based off of good performance only. #AEWDynamite
Los Brazos x Gran Hamada, Yoshihiro Asai & Kendo. The stars of Universal bring some top tier super lucha fury to promotional partner AJW. (11.14.1990) 🇲🇽🇯🇵🇩🇴
At 9 years old, @marvelous_SENKA's mom showed her a deathmatch video. Now she's one of the most exciting rookies in Japanese women's wrestling.
We sat down with Senka Akatsuki, a Marvelous rising star to talk strong style, Showa era, and what's next.

The problem with evil people, like MAGA, Trump and Elon is - they're expecting you to go the 'nice route' and not fight back. They're expecting you to "take the high road", and people fall for it. The dems "they go low we go high" turned the very act of self-defense against itself.
Kneeling to these pedophiles and their worshipers is like telling a rape victim to remember the act as something they enjoyed.
Fight back. They go low, you kick them in the nuts and when they are hunched over in pain you get the guillotines out and remind the fuckers who is in charge.
[REMINDER] it's the people. THE PEOPLE are in charge.
Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.
The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.
What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.
Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.
In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.
The DC screenshots are obviously fake since he deleted the fake convo. Had he he not posted the convo then that would prove the convo was real but we wouldn’t know it was real since he wouldn’t have posted it but since he posted it, it was fake, hence the delete. It’s obvious.
Japanese wrestling fans who undergo the burden of carrying very expensive cameras with 20 foot lenses to tournaments deserve an award. There's an artistry to Japanese fan photography in wrestling.
Why would DC delete that tweet exposing Trump grift and self-dealing?,
After all, if there's one thing Dana White is all about, it is freedom of speech.
