Been thinking about how everyone is talking about Schmitt lately instead of Jack Smith's actual testimony. The ol' Dumbfuckaroo never fails.

This Supreme Court is illegitimate. An unelected juristocracy is no different from any other brand of tyranny.

By my math, the order was filed 11 minutes after the Trump administration's reply brief came in.

This isn't a court at all. They're literally not even reading the fucking briefs before making "decisions".

also, look, I'm a Joe Biden partisan, I sincerely believe Biden was the best thing that ever happened to this country and I credit him with a considerable amount of my own life's decency; Netanyahu fucked Biden, intentionally. I hate him as much as I hate American vote-abstentionists

The Nazis also eviscerated shareholder rights back in 1937. They also let public corps transform themselves to partnerships and LLCs (like our current contractification of corporate law?!)

You may not love shareholders (though you may be one). But maybe you might love providing friction in the face of arbitrary economic power. Especially the kind that doesn’t mind making deals with fascists.

This is incredible and joins with the recent release of Daraxonrasib the breakthrough Pancreatic cancer treatment. It’s is NO WONDER that these advances are coming on the heels of Biden’s massive Cancer Moonshot funding programs. Thank you, Sir.

when you said not to vote in 2024 you chose a future where the Republicans got to take their swing at governing, which meant they got to hurt trans people and other marginalized groups. you chose that future with every post you made about your disappointment with Biden & Harris.

Thanks, Ned. The extent of the child poverty reduction from allowing enough housing to push down real rents 20% approaches the 2021 temporary child tax credit expansion.

Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."

The first show I worked with PAC (which was one his early Indy shows since leaving WEE) I asked how he wanted to be introduced.

Nobody in the world is perfect, but why can't more billionaires be as empathetic as Tony Khan? The world would be less fucked up than it is now with all the power hungry billionaire psychopaths trying to mold the world into whatever dystopian sci-fi novel they loved at 13. #wrestlesky

Emi Sakura's post about PAC is breaking my heart
The first time I spoke with him was in Ireland in 2018. When you're living in an English-speaking country, Japanese suddenly reaches your ears in a startling way. Our conversations always started with his "Otsukaresamade-su." Backstage, I wouldn't sense his presence at all, but then those words would arrive right by my ear like the wind. And so I'd search for him. There's no English phrase that translates it just right—its meaning encompasses hello, long time no see, glad to see you, good work, goodbye, good night, see you later, and all sorts of other things rolled into one. I think it's the kind of greeting that comes from the way he's confronted pro wrestling in Japan. It's time. As always, I grab my bag and climb into the car. I can't believe the show goes on. Today and from here on out, forever, I know I'll keep straining to listen. Thank you, PAC.

Something I think about often, re: PAC is that he's the only guy who's ever made Orange Cassidy break character. It happens during the roller spot in their Revolution 2020 match. PAC is so utterly straight-laced, so grumpy, so serious that OC starts cracking up when they make eye contact.

Always think the first warning sign of this was their lax attitude to the risk that the place they all work in, is literally falling apart in ways that may ultimately kill them

Nick Wayne's tribute to PAC:


Nick Wayne
@thenickwayne
At All Out 2024 when PAC faced Ospreay, I told him after the match “That was very inspiring for someone like me to watch, I hope to one day be as good as you, man” 
He smiled, thanked me and said “Awh Nick, you’re gonna be better than me someday.” 

For the next 2 years, the conversations, advice, and positive thoughts going into things is something I always cherished. 
To have someone that inspired me so heavily have so much belief in me, I almost couldn’t believe that it was HIM saying these thing to me. 

PAC is one of the greatest innovators and Professional Wrestlers to ever do it.  ❤️

i adored his dynamic with the lucha bros and his match vs oc was one of my pivotal 'alright maybe i REALLY like wrestling' moments. i loved that despite how he looked, he was really fucking funny and could goof with the best of them. and of course i enjoyed him so much as part of the death riders

The instinct to share something personal about Pac, but the amount of respect, care and commitment he had to wrestling and to being a professional is a line I can't bear to cross - but let that remind you just how good he was. Forever loved, forever respected. What a fucking Bastard.
