Is the Shane Gillis shtick just doing material from 2005 without any conviction? Or to be perpetually in the "what else, what else" section of his open mic notes app

I do have to admit that I sort of love the Street Fighter ethos of just leaning into the absurdity. If this is indeed the official soundtrack version of the Guile theme, I hope they do the meme and play it over things that have nothing to do with Guile fighting youtu.be/MxThbfaKXQU?...

PAC is one of those guys that I never would have said is my favorite wrestler, but in that way where it's because you don't have to debate with anyone that he was awesome. Even Danielson, I feel I have to defend something about him as one of my top guys, PAC was so amazing no one had to ever say it.

This is insane. The Butcher Andy Williams death was one thing, but PAC was just on a live event last night, and...I mean he was The Bastard PAC, he could work anyone anywhere in any company, one of those guys that felt like they were always here and would always be here

The wildest thing about how bad the AI Gene Wilder voice sounds in that Wonka Netflix show is that I have used ElevenLabs, you can get a natural sounding voice recording from it if you care. This voiceover is just so low-energy and charmless that it ends up not even sounding like him.

Even removing politics from the equation, Macklemore getting Eric Nally to sing the hook on Downtown is a better songwriting decision than anything Ed Sheeran has ever done

The only thing I can think of for Patel's comments on bestiality that some frat boy got caught porking a pig for a hazing ritual, had it put on his record, and it flagged him when he tried to apply to be a fed.

I'm really surprised there hasn't been a Subgenius resurgence in recent years When every day is nothing but corporate greed, AI slop, and the disintegration of the American democracy, seems like the perfect time to extol the virtues of slack

All the wrestling fan tribalism is proven to be complete BS when a tragedy like Andy Williams happens and wrestlers you never knew even occupied the same state at the same time are posting pictures of just being brothers backstage or at the steak house or in someone's car

AI music playlists on YouTube continue to annoy. It's blandly competent and inoffensive, which is already miles ahead of the AI posters and videos and weird Thomas Kincaide style paintings of dead celebrities, but I'd still rather just have a compilation of the songs it copied structures from

Idea for the MCU Multiverse storyline: one incursion pushes characters into the Marvel vs Capcom world and they have a fight scene where they have to shout the name of their move as they spam it "Kinetic card! Kinetic card! Kinetic card!'
