A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones" Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.

Please do a 🔥🔥🔥 multiman every week, #AEW. I don't ask for much.

Gonna be uploading a lot of NJPW clips. Enjoy.

Times are tough and you need to protect your headspace. Totally understand where you are coming from.

If anyone questions why you love AEW in 2024, just show them the full November Rain video. That shit absolutely ruled

#AEWCollision

Yeah seems like a home run to me, I hope this is one of those TK traditions that continues.

It hit hard, not going to lie

That was easily the best video package they've ever done 🤌🤌🤌

The story beats and emotional roller coaster being laid out, interweaving between programs, showing archival footage to establish context and history, did a hell of a job to fill in the blanks, to build on what is already there, to play to nostalgia and tug on heart strings. That was a home run

I wrote this on a Discord, but wanted to share:

That music video is exactly the kind of thing they should be doing to fill in the blanks and show that connective tissue that seems missing when the shows have disjointed week to week booking.

The #AEW November Rain video is incredible. I did not see that coming to hit so hard... I am hyped AF now.

A few hours into an epic journey of smoking.

Around hour 15 of 21, the pork looks more like the finished product.

The plate. Pulled pork, homemade macaroni and cheese with green chilis, coleslaw, and a buttermilk roll.

21 hours in the smoker at 225, a couple of pork butts became a wonderful pulled pork dinner with my wife, kids, and in-laws. 🍽️

Just learned I need to use 🍽️ to get on the cooking feed, will start doing that
