I'm confident this will be a touching, tasteful and well put-together show. AEW doesn't miss when it comes to tribute shows... something I really wish they or I had never had to find out. That said, I suspect this show will ruin me. #AEWDynamite

100% agree. It's so rare to see someone who truly, deeply *cares* about others. He's excitable in the good times and devastated in the bad. He's a human being. And, from what I can see, a damn good one.

I keep trying to think of words but I'm totally lost. Everything seems reductive. This one hurts. He was always among my favourites. My heart breaks for those who knew him personally. Forever our Bastard #Pac

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Me too. I wish I didn't ever have to find out how good they are at those kinds of shows. Huber and Williams were both heartbreaking. Pac's may actually ruin me.

Disappointed for sure. And really upset at where all the hair went. 20 was possibly my peak in that regard.

I knew @shutupexcalibur.bsky.social would deliver a lovely tribute, but I was still not emotionally prepared to hear it. Especially when his voice started to waver. So glad Schiavone was there with a comforting hand. AEW does these things so well but I wish they didn't have to. #AEWDynamite

Sad that lack of funds meant I couldn't be at AEW All In this year having been at the first two Wembley events. Even so: what a show. Capped off by two absolutely amazing world title matches. Willow/Mercedes was top draw and Omega/Ospreay is probably my match of the year. #AEWAllIn

Seriously: the worst timeline. Dolly Parton and now Tim Curry? Within 24 hours of each other? What the hell, universe? #TimCurry

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

This is the worst timeline. RIP Dolly Parton. There never was and never will be another one like her. Which is even more of a shame because the world would be a better place with more people like her in it. #DollyParton

Closing out my week off work with a trip to see THE ODYSSEY. Superb. I was a Greek mythology nerd as a child and this is exactly the sort of movie I would have wanted. Nolan really knows his way around an epic.

This is a new experience... enjoying an England tournament match. Good and bad it's not been dull. I could get used to this. Also, how cool is it that all four of England's goals have come from players who do not play in England at the club level? #ENGCRO

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

For the most part, I don't care about football. Particularly at the club level. The World Cup, however, is different. Every four years, people from all over the world gather together in celebration. Just look at some of the footage from this year of people having fun together. It's joyous.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Even as someone who isn't massively into basketball, I'm so pleased to see the unbridled joy coming out of New York after the Knicks won the NBA Championship. That city is my favourite place on Earth and they absolutely deserve this moment. #KnicksInFive

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Honestly, how can you dislike this guy? Works on behalf of working people but isn't so self-serious that he can't throw in a little whimsy every now and again.

Rides are good. Rides with a friend are even better. See my best friend far too infrequently but it's always a good time when I do. #motosky #harleydavidson #triumph

Didn't realise @kumail.bsky.social was on Bluesky until it was mentioned on the latest Taskmaster episode... along with some other things in his internet history. Super easy follow. What a joy this season has been so far. #Taskmaster

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

I cannot remember a time in my life when I didn't want to live in New York. Seeing this makes that urge all the stronger. What a breath of fresh air it has been to see what's going on in NYC while politics almost everywhere else is so utterly bleak. Will never not love that city.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

The new @thelongestjohns.bsky.social album - Ends Of The Earth - dropped today. As a Kickstarter backer, I got to download it right away. Already listened to it all the way through twice. As expected: superb! Can't wait to see them live again later this month.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

So, that Tommaso Ciampa fella is rather good, isn't he? A truly excellent main event match and such a good first title defence for Darby. Cannot wait for his "until the wheels fall off" title reign to play out but I'm still pulling for Brody King next week. #AEWDynamite

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

I hate that this needs saying but: Space. Exploration. Is. Worth. It. For. Its. Own. Sake. The footage and photos from the Artemis II are some of the most beautiful images I've ever seen. Truly awe-inspiring stuff. There's always room for awe. Makes "the sh*tshow" seem more tolerable.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

As cool as it looks in photos to see riders with open face or no helmets, riding in t-shirts or sleeveless tops... I'll always be a full gear guy. Just not worth the risk. Plus... full gear can still look badass. #motosky

Holy smokes, the @speedballbailey.bsky.social vs Kyle Fletcher match on this week's #AEWDynamite was sensationally good. The action ramped up throughout and those two had the crowd right where they wanted them. Some killer false finishes and left the audience wanting a rematch immediately. Terrific.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Pulled the Harley out of the garage this weekend to check up on it. Has been a long, wet winter. Still starts up. Got the tyres pumped up, too. Itching for those warmer, drier days. I really need riding season back in the worst way. #HarleyDavidson #motosky

As a fan of the Dunk and Egg novellas, I have to say "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" was superb. The first season only covers the first story and does so brilliantly. Loyal to the books and the added material was all great. The two lead actors are particularly wonderful. #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms

Bad week. Been a few of those in a row. Made worse by the glimmer of hope which preceded it. Hope that it may be different this time. But no. Same story, different faces. It really is the hope that kills you. Need to put those walls back up.

It feels somewhat distasteful to call MAUS one of my favourite comics. But it's certainly one of the best ever put to paper.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

I know he was a superb actor who had many excellent roles... and as cliche as this sounds... he'll always be Tom Hagen to me. In one of the best films ever made, he was utterly captivating throughout. RIP Robert Duvall. An icon of cinema.

Been a fan of this particular idea for a long time. It's so rewarding to see King get the attention he deserves. World Champ him, TK! #AEW #wrestlesky

This is so true for me it's not even funny. So thankful for AEW. One positive distrsaction which actually takes my mind off the bad stuff for a couple hours a week. #AEW #wrestlesky

Getting a little tired of experiencing the heartache part without experiencing the good, relationshippy part first. It keeps happening. Oh well. Back to burying myself in motorcycles, pro-wrestling, comics, ASOIAF etc I guess.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

In other news, I definitely feel good about the wrestling promotion I follow. They let that moment breathe. Splendid. ... and f*ck ICE. #AEW #AEWDynamite

The Muppets have always had the power to bypass the cynical, pessimistic part of me and plug directly into the earnest, whimiscal side. So glad to say the new Muppet Show pulled it off very nicely. There's a reason Kermit is my childhood hero. #TheMuppetShow #TheMuppets

My back is somewhat more interesting to look at than it was this time last year. Five full-day sessions with an artist who continues to amaze me with his talent even after he's been tattooing me for a decade. I asked for a Grim Reaper... but with as much colour as possible. He absolutely nailed it.

I'm so over 2026 already. That's got to be a record. What is it... week 4? This week, everything has gone to shit and my mental health is in tatters. And to top it all off, it's all pretty much my fault. Fuck.

010

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Got my rather large back tattoo finished last week. I didn't just come away with an amazing piece of art, but a new musical act to get listening to courtesy of my artist's recommendation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGTs...

Something I was grateful to be able to do over the weekend: my first ride of 2026. While other friends of mine were playing in snow, we didn't get a single flake so despite the bitter cold it is was great to be out on two wheels. Thanks to Jim for snapping the photo. The biker community rules.

Tanahashi vs Okada was simply amazing. A true masterclass of using the medium of pro-wrestling to tell stories in-ring. A wonderful send-off for Tanahashi - one of the most important wrestlers of the 21st century. Four days into 2026 and we have a Match of the Year contender. #njwk20
