Tonight, AEW is LIVE from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois! AEW's second PPV in as many Sundays begins at 7pm with ZERO HOUR on Youtube and continues at 8pm on PPV! The card for ALL OUT includes:...
On FITE after the show a be the elite chant went up that was 2-3x as loud. I don’t think it’s gonna be a thing, especially after the crowd chanted, “oh cry me a river” tonight.
Not directly, the way they are by inspiring coups in Africa. This isn’t Sankara, man. Russia is an empire engaging in recanchism. It’s asinine to think of them as an ally in anything anti authoritarian
Between one and two. Even crazier, though - he knew actors sometimes left shows so he wrote in a “trapdoor” and replacement character so that he could sub out someone with a new character without losing a step.
I don’t really mind arguing with the people on hexbear, their attempt to gang-harass me is pretty pathetic, but I would like to not see any of their posts on my feed anymore as nothing they post is relevant to me. How can I block an entire instance?
The few conversations I’ve had there have been unproductive and inflammatory. While even in other instances when I’ve said something someone disagreed with they would at least support their statement. Also no one would tell me why the “Confused Unga Bunga” meme is racist but they keep accusing me of it. I’m all for...
People invariably point to the Uyghurs and apologisms about China in general. I'm sure that stuff exists, just as it does in any leftist space, but I've never interacted with it so I highly doubt it's some great cause people pick up torches for. Then again maybe it is and I've just never seen it.
Just awful. I never watched much WWE when he was around but I’ve watched the funhouse match multiple times. A creative visionary. Such a shocking, bitter loss.
Sounds like Ohbari wants to start the process of NJPW having an actual women's roster, or at least more women's matches on their regular shows (US at first, eventually Japan). Acknowledges the world has changed since the old days, and Stardom is obviously going quite strong for them.
Were you posting this shit around the Grenfell tower fire? The Seoul crush? If you’d gone back in time what would your reaction to the Hindenburg be?
Shut your xenophobic ass up and sit the fuck down as we mourn a tragic loss of life. We’re all human and this is a moment to reflect on that fact. Use it. You need it.
You'd be surprised. Grenfell fire in the UK and that building that collapsed a week after it was declared fit just happened like a month ago in the US. Corruption is everywhere.
Mayim Bialik will not be hosting Season 2 of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” as she continues to support the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Variety has learned from sources....
The person he’s replacing is a member of SAG AFTRA (and maybe also WGA?) and he’d already been hired as her replacement. She’s not going on sympathy strike.
A scab is hired to replace someone who is striking. He had previously (as in years) been hired to replace Bialik when she was unavailable. Due to her commitments to the strike, she is unavailable. He, not being a member of the WGA or SAG, has no commitments to the strike, but does have commitments to his contract, which states he is to replace Bialik when she is unavailable. Does that make sense?
You said you considered him an actor - the union that is striking does not. That seems pretty obviously relevant.
Does that extend to the gaffers and everyone else who would get fired? I don’t really think you understand the details of this. Hollywood unions have done a very good job of insulating themselves from retaliation after strikes - everyone has to do it so it’s pretty hard to hold striking against anyone. Plus whatever is baked into contracts. Jennings would be striking alone, unprotected. It’s kind of weird that people are holding him to this when the union isn’t.
Vulcans in Enterprise definitely did. All of the other member races maintain their own space force so it really is a human thing even if it’s not a human thing
Conformant OpenGL® ES 3.1 drivers are now available for M1- and M2-family GPUs. That means the drivers are compatible with any OpenGL ES 3.1 application....
any country regardless of their gender equality effort up to a certain point have basically the same women to men ratio, which means it isn’t the action of some oppression or shaming.
Sexism is not constrained to a single nationality, and the patriarchy is international.
Maybe you’re not aware, but what you just posted was a misogynistic screed. Do better.
