@libsoftiktok "reject science" I'm thinking they just passed her in high school and college because she played basketball. Because she obviously didn't pay attention in biology class.

Brianna Turner, a WNBA player and far-left activist, published an op-ed OPPOSING the Olympic ban on men invading women's sports while also DENYING the reality of biological sex. "This new mandate... rejects the science that says physical appearance, chromosomes, or individual traits do not determine athletic performance or success... Transgender women are women."

@WrestleTalk_TV That would be cool. I'm not sure how it would work or look as it's a crazy fast song. I don't think you could just casually walk to the ring.

Stephanie Vaquer names Megadeth's Head Crusher as her dream WWE entrance theme: "It would be a dream to have Motorhead accompany me, even though I know it's impossible and they already did it with Triple H. It would also be a dream to come out to Megadeth's Head Crusher." (Metal Hammer)

This hating on strong female characters is getting old. I'm starting to think that everyone that hates on it is gay who had weak mothers. I enjoyed Wynonna Erp and Lost Girl. I could really get into Van Helsing and I've never seen Killjoys. Yet I haven't seen anyone complain about Xena.

Nothing did more to promote the "DEATH TO MEN" movement more than the rebranding of the SYFY Network. Originally launched as The Sci-Fi Channel in 1992, it ran pure science fiction, fantasy, and horror, and a mix of serious and campy programming that appealed heavily to male viewers. Then, in 2009 it became “Syfy” — and suddenly every show seemed to be a girlboss adventure that openly hated its male audience: "Van Helsing": Now VANESSA Van Helsing, the legendary vampire hunter's descendant who slaughters only MALE vampires. "Wynonna Earp" – Wyatt Earp’s great-great-granddaughter who, along with her lesbian sister, uses the "Peacemaker" revolver to send MALE demons back to hell. "Lost Girl" – Follows Bo, a lesbian succubus whose sexuality "ACCIDENTALLY" (and sometimes on purpose) kills MEN. "Killjoys" – Dutch, a tiny female bounty hunter routinely kills hostile mercenaries, corporate agents, assassins, and criminals - ALWAYS MEN. And that doesnt even cover all the shark movies, giant monster flicks, and silly disaster films where ALL THE MALE CHARACTERS DIE, and the "final girl" is the only one who actually gets shit done. And with that, the channel became unwatchable for a lot of its original audience. It wasn't bad movies that killed SYFY, it was choosing a side AGAINST the male viewers that supported it.

@kisaragi_tv I always felt heel Punk was just Phil dialed up a little. I am not a Phil Brooks fan but I will always be a CM Punk fan. Yeah, that's probably going to confuse a lot of people.

- Punched a fan fr while his boss was looking right at him - worked 5 star matches with a sick broken body - made fun of Jerry lawler for having a heart attack - mocked Paul bearer and poured his “ashes” on undertaker - made the Rock look like an average Joe on the mic & in the ring Heel punk was crazy

It sucked and sucked bad. But hear me out. Pat's opener was an absolute trainwreck. It felt forced. He is not a good heal. Cody comes out and it pretty much, in a performance review scenario. Met expectations. Pat comes back and has 1 or 2 good lines and I'm thinking it's going to turn around. I was wrong. When the talking stopped and the fighting started it was better. But predictable...so met expectations. So I do agree but there were a few moments that were perfect. It was just a small percentage.

It’s actually insane how badly they dropped the ball on this. Why in fuck is Pat McAfee the centre of attention for this feud!? Why the fuck is he holding the belt? Why the fuck is the big announcement 25% of Mania tickets 😭 What a steaming pile of shite. Turned one of most anticipated matches for Mania into a joke, all because Ari Emmanuel thinks Pat is the needle mover. #Smackdown

Okay, I'm just getting caught up with Smack Down. This Pat segment is horrible. He's a bad heal and it feels like an informercial. I respect that I think he's really trying to bring big dick asshole energy to it but I'm just not feeling it.

@aakashgupta Or be like me. I'm not paying for ad free and I don't even own a 4K TV so that part doesn't even impact me.

Amazon found a way to charge 200 million people for something they already owned. Twice. Step 1: Insert ads into a product people were already paying $139/year for. Step 2: Charge $2.99/mo to remove the ads you just added. Step 3: Take away 4K, which was free for years. Step 4: Charge $4.99/mo to get it back. Total time: 26 months. Total new revenue at even 15% conversion: $1.8 billion per year. The genius is the sequencing. No single step is outrageous enough to cancel over. You don't cancel Prime over $3. You don't cancel over $5. You definitely don't cancel over 4K because most people don't even notice the resolution downgrade until they watch on a big screen. Amazon needed $3.6 billion per year in new revenue to cover NFL and NBA rights. They got halfway there by selling people back their own product one feature at a time.

It's too late now. You can't unring that bell. You have to run with it and hope they can turn shit into diamonds. This is not how I would have set this story up but TKO is now grasping at straws. Because I don't know how you don't use the fact that they were Legacy and feuded for a big chunk of 2011.

YES OR NO? Should WWE take Pat McAfee out of the Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton story tomorrow night on SmackDown?

I hate having to quote Gene Simmons because of his stance during Covid but... “Yeah, because everybody in the world should listen to what actors and comedians say, because they’re so qualified.” (Sarcastic) “Basically, shut the f--- up. Do your art and shut up. Nobody’s interested in your opinions. That includes me! Who I vote for, who I like.” “Who the f--- do you think you are? People in America work hard for their living, and they don’t want to be lectured to by people who live in mansions and drive Rolls-Royces.” “It’s time for everybody in the entertainment industry to shut their piehole and just do your art. Nobody cares what you think.”

Bruce Springsteen opens the first night of the Los Angeles leg of his tour by slamming President Donald Trump. "The America I've wrote about for 50 years, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration."

@PMercier31 @ChandranTheMan I was unaware of that. Thanks for the info. It all makes more sense now.

@jayz08 @ChandranTheMan The logic of Pat going against TKO doesn't make sense because his agent is the actual boss of TKO.

What made CM Punk’s promo on RAW feel so special is that he finally felt like Punk again. The rebellious, anti-establishment guy that doesn’t play by the company line. Since his return, he’s been the model employee and a great ambassador....not really a "punk"... But with TKO catching heat over ticket prices, flipping the script and framing Roman Reigns and Pat McAfee as “TKO guys” brought back that edge. That’s the version of Punk people connected with in the first place. Before it was ice cream bars. Now it’s ticket prices. Same energy, same message. The “voice of the voiceless” is back. Loved it.

@_xaibii I feel this is more the original Seth. IMO, he needed a change. I didn't really like the flashy version. Was it comical, yes. Him and wardrobe must have had some interesting conversations. But I want bad ass Rollins.

Right now WWE creativity is really bad and maybe WWE deserves praise for changing Seth Rolllins' gimmick from the colorful suits guy to a calm, intense black clothes wearing wrestler. This new version of Seth Rollins is growing on me slowly. I haven't seen Seth so intense and focused since The Shield days to be honest. It came at the right moment because the colorful suits version of Seth Rollins would have looked out of place in the WrestleMania 42 match against Gunther. But this new version is the perfect match with Gunther, and WWE has done a brilliant job building up this feud in a short time.

@MicrocosmicClod @aakashgupta Since everyone's hating on this burger I'm going to be the one that doesn't. I would definitely eat that. Except for the pickles. With that being said I've also had decent smash burgers as well.

@aakashgupta Spin it however you want to. “Lace” is a disgrace. This is the only thing that passes for a hamburger in my book.

Those "grill scrapings" are what happens when ground beef hits 450°F steel and the proteins undergo the Maillard reaction at maximum surface area. A spherical patty sitting on a grill touches maybe 15% of its surface. A smash burger pressed flat against a plancha touches 90%+. That means 6x more beef surface is simultaneously converting amino acids and reducing sugars into hundreds of new flavor compounds. The browning you're looking at is roughly 500 to 1,000 distinct molecules that didn't exist before the meat hit the steel. The crispy lace around the edges is rendered fat that seeped out under pressure, hit the hot steel, and fried the protein strands from the outside in. Those thin edges are essentially beef chips. They shatter when you bite them, which creates a textural contrast against the still-juicy center that a thick pub burger physically cannot produce. The flat geometry also solves a heat transfer problem. A thick patty has a massive temperature gradient from surface to center. You either overcook the outside waiting for the middle, or pull it with a raw center. A smash burger is thin enough that the entire patty reaches optimal temperature within 60 to 90 seconds per side. There's no gradient to manage. George Motz documented over 300 burger restaurants for his book and found that nearly every legendary regional burger in America, from the Midwest butter burger to the Oklahoma onion burger, uses this exact technique. Thin, pressed, maximum contact with a hot flat surface. The ones that look the worst on camera consistently taste the best. The visual mess is the flavor.

@WISupremacist Around 7:30am and there wasn't anyone there.

If you voted in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election today, when did you vote and how busy was it?

@TheMovementXx @FinnBalor I would have preferred that it was a secret until WM.

I hate when they do this. @FinnBalor teased The Demon on RAW last night. Didn’t show it, just implied it. Instead of following that up with actually showing it on TV, the first time they are showing it is here, in a poster. Either commitment to it being a surprise for the big show, or get a proper reveal done on the build up. But doing the proper reveal through a poster or promotional material is not it.

@dardezeu @SandyofCthulhu Okay, that's funny. Nice job.

@jayz08 @SandyofCthulhu I like the rear too 😁

You must cook the outside of beef (or lamb) to kill bacteria. The inside of beef has zero bacteria so you can eat it as red as you like. DOES NOT APPLY TO GROUND BEEF! In theory the above applies to pork as well but Americans culturally don't eat rare pork because until the 1980s our pork had trichinosis. Poultry has potential salmonella throughout so must always be cooked through. The blue steak shown below is perfectly safe. Note: I don't eat blue steak myself - it's a bridge too far for me.

@FoxNews "Framing it based on science." She was pro Covid shot because of the science. I guess biology is subjective.

OUT OF BOUNDS: Megan Rapinoe slams the new IOC policy limiting women’s events to biological females based on sex testing. "This committee is framing it as based in science, which it’s not," she said. "This will ultimately just prevent people from competing within the women’s category that they feel like they have an unfair advantage. It’s just really hateful."

@DirtyDomDom I commented on Pat's post stating if they sell it right it could work.

The Pat McAfee angle flopped, but WWE is sitting on an absolute goldmine if they do it right. ✅ Reveal McAfee was just a pawn ✅ Steph showing up on RAW last week wasn't a one-off, it was Phase 1. ✅ Shane & Vince McMahon return next to form a "Shadow Board" to take back the company. ✅ Randy is revealed as their Corporate Assassin to end "Dusty's kid" for good. ✅ Pure Evolution vibes.. Cody fights his mentor AND the family that tortured his dad. Carry this till WarGames: Team Cody vs. Team McMahon. Pure cinema. Could this save the feud?🔥

@PatMcAfeeShow @RandyOrton @WWE We've all seen the fan comments...so Between Cody's impromptu promo and now Pat jumping in after a couple of days. This child possibly work. You all have two weeks to sell this. Make this good.

The only “shock” is that @RandyOrton, the greatest Sports Entertainer of all time, isn’t running @WWE That all changes at Mania… When he becomes 15 TIME WORLD CHAMPION AND SAVES THE BUSINESS for future generations while doing so And if he doesn’t… I’ll NEVER BE SEEN OR HEARD IN THE WRESTLING WORLD AGAIN
