So often, people rob themselves of enjoyment of amazing stories by carrying an attitude of entitlement to the story.
"Buy the ticket, take the ride', is the best quote I've ever heard on this.
Doesn't mean there aren't bad rides, but there's just better attitudes to have about it all.
This is one of the best pieces of pop culture writing I've read in the past couple of years. These excerpts are great but you need to read how the build to that last one. Goddamn. Thank you @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social and @popheist.com
I hate how social media conditioned people to think a game is "dead" if no one's posting about it or it's not getting updates. So what if it's "dead", you can still play it and post about it even if it's not the hip thing now. Y'all love to call games art but it means jack shit if you do this tbh.
Happy BOGOF Night.
Enjoy your advertisements—and your favourite fraudster from Chicago.
We know who you really are. ♋
This is the fundamental failing of the "vote blue no matter who" argument.
We tried that.
It gave us more Trump.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger", that's wrong, completely wrong.
Whatever doesn't kill you wears you down and takes a toll on you emotionally and physically, that's the truth.
Take care of yourself.
Sting always knew.
Darby Allin is the NEW AEW World Champion!

#AEW has the ability to make you feel emotionally invested into a moment. Between the first minutes of #AEWDynamite and the main event, you felt it. The emotional investment.
Now, Darby Allen adds his name to the list of All Elite Wrestling World Champions. Well deserved 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.
#Wrestlesky🤼
Seriously though, massive congrats to Darby Allin!!!!
Man has been here from the VERY BEGINNING. Completely flipping the script on heart, motivation, resilience, and literally giving your body to what you LOVE.
Darby Allin is the new AEW World Champion!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!

"It's not showtime... it's your time!"
Sting helps Darby Allin lock in as the AEW World Title is on the line when Darby challenges MJF NEXT!
#AEWDynamite Spring BreakThru's main event is coming to you WITH NO COMMERCIAL INTERRUPTION as we are LIVE on TBS and HBO Max
For so long, there was a monopolized idea of what a champion should look like.
Towering. Jacked. Larger than life.
Regular people never stood a chance.
Tonight, determination, drive, and resilience stood tall and towered over everything.
And Darby Allin flipped the script.
#AEWDynamite
Using the Brody King squash as a foundation for how MJF can be bested quickly by those he deems unworthy of his time and then actually PULLING THE TRIGGER on Darby Allin (whose history in AEW is tied with Brody) doing exactly that and WINNING THE AEW MEN’S WORLD TITLE is incredible. #AEWDynamite
Man, I thought AEW was on a roll in 2024. Then it got better in 2025. And somehow AEW is even hotter in 2026.
For generations, guys like Darby was never supposed to be world champion no matter how well liked or received by the audience. We were a generation of fans brought up by the Fed to believe this. Tonight was a statement that if you put up the work, give everything that you got, your time will come.
This episode of #AEWDynamite is by far my favorite.
Think about the damage TKO has done to MMA and then think about what they’d have been able to do to wrestling if we didn’t have AEW. Crazy.
Death Stranding 2 is my game of the year again.

I finished Death Stranding 2's main story, and it's one for the history books.
This is one of the greatest games I've ever played.

This really is the best game ever, gonna be real.
anyway, don't watch the wizard show
and if you've never watched wrestling before, give AEW a try. it's stupid fun and it might not be your thing, but it's far different than what you probably expect wrestling to be

I am afraid Death Stranding 2 is shaping up to be an all-timer.
Switchblade is fantastic! I can totally see how his work could really grab you. I got to see him wrestle once and Im stoked I did.
I don't know if they'll work around the stipulation or not, but it's had me reflecting on it all, and I just want to say, in a real human way, Hangman's title wins and reigns meant so much to me & had helped me through very rough times, and brought me joy in the good.
#CowboyShit #Wrestlesky #AEW
His win at All In last year felt like such a victory lap. I'm happy, stable, and have a rich life now, and seeing him win the big one again, it was like a comforting hug from a friend that had been there for me through the worst of it. It still meant so much to see. 4/?
Seeing him win at Full Gear '21 in person was one of the best nights of my life at that point. I felt overwhelmed with joy at a time when I'd barely been able to feel any at all. It gets me quite emotional reflecting on it because I was so hurt, unstable, and vulnerable at the time. 3/?
... not just as a wrestling fan. I was in such rough places, and following his chase through those years meaningfully helped me stay afloat until I could get myself back on my feet. Wrestling is so special in that way, and Hangman was (alongside Sting) the guy that did that for me. 2/?

I can't overstate how much Hangmans world title runs meant to me.
From 2019 to 2021, I was at some of my lowest points in life, and Hangman chase for the title gave me something to hope for when I desperately needed it. Something to really lean on, just as a human being... 1/?
