The only pass I will give is to the inevitable child actors cast, who may genuinely be ignorant of JKR's bigotry. The parents who sign off on this... not so much.

The account that posts women's outfits, where the clothes are from and prices blew my mind for a min, because a lot was pretty cheap. Then I remembered that they can only wear most of it in public once.

My understanding is that there's different types of gimicked stuff. Like there's pure fake where its metallic painted/coloured plastic, or a softer metal that will crumple on impact. Then there's taking the real stuff and cutting/filing down the barbs so they cut less.

All I want now is Veda. If they can ever convince Ricoboni to call AEW full time, they should 1000% be the replacement for ROH

After TNA ran the Walker Dome for their UK special/PPV I have decided just about anything is possible, but it does seem unlikely.

Same as WWEID is cheaper than a NXT contract but still gives them right of first refusal if AEW does actually have interest in a prospect.

I'm team no buyout, I think after the MLW lawsuit got settled and NXT UK failed (with no sign of NXT Europe) the pivot has been to partner/support others (eg NOAH, OTT). Its cheaper and wards off claims of monopoly while they can still use them against AEW.

Kinda, TNA & Impact were/are the same company rebranded, where I think Southside was always separate but the IP bought when the company folded.

The 4th title is from Southside, a defunct British promotion the Rev Pro one is unified with. Several other Rev Pro title are the same and its champs prerogative if they wear both.

Congrats! For derangement options, mixing wrestling terms and business buzzwords? Thinking “synergistic suplexes” and “big picture buckle bombs”

'Can we not separate the art from the artist?' isn't a difficult question if the artist is still alive and being a massive great big shit.

I have been seeing so many random posts casually mentioning him as though he's not been exposed as a monster, and I know he's paid a lot of money to crisis PR firms to try and help us forget. Do not forget.

Cage can then run away from the DRs, Cope and others for a PPV cycle or 2 before getting caught, possibly via his group disbanding/Luchasuarus return after he uses them as human shields against DR. Omega/Okada is clearly happening at Y'all In so I don't think either is getting into the mix before.

I'm really hoping they pivot and have him lose on the Australia show, as I don't think Hobbs is winning in that first match. I could see a Cope win, Mox violent crashout and Cage cash in as a big angle, especially if Toni and other Aussies get feel good wins elsewhere on the card.

In some ways the 2 issues combine, taking the custom sewing from dressmakers to industrial factories and home-makers via standardised sizing, and then later even the alterations through worsening fabric quality and fast fashion.

Depends what you mean by "used to know" dressmaking as a hobby/expected part of a housewife's work is comparatively recent and in some ways pushed a patriarchal backlash towards the rise of it becoming a lucrative trade for women. youtu.be/OVwhg8LZnlc?...

Back in Nazi Germany, art that was deemed "degenerate" was piled up in the streets and burned. I think people are waiting for stuff like that to start happening. But we don't live in an era of physical media anymore. That art is just going to quietly vanish from streaming services one day.

I did think he went noticeably far as the match went on, but assumed he just got caught up in things, as the story/dynamics of the pre match stuff was so much about Gabe being pro NJPW and anti AEW, and basically the crowd turned him babyface for it. I assumed he was told off given the live apology

If the new fitness app/shake/supplement was super effective it would be in the news the way Ozempic was not some random tic tok.

If you are considering such things seek out your own or a real private dr for a full assessment, don't just order random crap of the internet.

Related but not "technically" always a scam, now is the peak time for people looking for New Year, New Me things:

That amazing new job/side hustle shouldn't have a upfront cost, best case its a MLM.

Similarly that "guaranteed job" training course, check its actually from a real school.

In the UK at least, where we have a tax for plastic bags so a lot of stores have switched to paper, Primark's xmas designs have cut lines for you to turn them into wrapping paper. Seems like to sort of thing we can encourage stores to compete on, hype up each years colours etc.

It’s team Nat v team Lucia, it looks like the issue with the post modern sick boys might be Lucia’s downfall as Natalie Sykes has recruited both members of Crashboat but Liam Slater has come alone
