It really seems like WWE has trained people to only understand "it's a story" if it's a weird backstage skit. They never watched any other wrestling for this "no stories" thing to be as deeply rooted as it is. 70s or 80s wrestling, or Puro, the storytelling is different... not non-existent.

First page of a manuscript draft titled "The Death of Medical Privacy for Trans Patients," marked “Not for distribution” in the upper right corner. Section 1, titled "INTRODUCTION," discusses the foundational principle of medical privacy in U.S. law and ethics, emphasizing its importance for transgender Americans whose care often involves both health and identity. It states that legal and ethical protections for privacy have been eroded through coordinated legislative restrictions, executive actions, vigilantism, and administrative oversight, especially from Republican-led states and later the Trump administration. The introduction outlines how these actions circumvent safeguards like the Fourth Amendment and HIPAA, rendering sensitive trans patient information accessible to state actors as part of a broader political strategy against transgender existence. The article intends to trace this erosion of privacy through political context, case studies from Tennessee, Missouri, Texas, and Florida, and the escalation at the federal level, ending with an examination of the psychological, physical, and legal consequences, as well as the precedent set for politically disfavored medical care.

Just submitted my initial manuscript for my law journal article on trans medical privacy. Hoping to get it up on SSRN soon as a preprint.

It covers how the medical privacy of trans folks has been eviscerated and how it is a model for the destruction of medical privacy for any disfavored group.

...do we really need to be spreading HMM WHAT IF [X female wrestler] IS PREGNANT rumors?

If that's the case, just...let it play out, maybe?

Did nobody learn from the last time this happened and the speculation quickly devolved into if that wrestler had gotten a secret abortion?

Bob. Puppets.

Was he a wee little puppet man?

They would somehow simultaneously claim it wasn't the Nazi version while excusing it as being a Motorhead thing. And then get very quiet if you point it out that regardless of how you feel about Lemmy, he was still explicitly using the Nazi symbol, so you can't have it both ways.

uhhhhhhhh

this must have been criticised along the way, no??

Every Democratic member of Congress should be doing this and 10x more to directly provide value to their communities.

There is likely no faster way to repair the Democratic brand.

i've got a mate who lives in Shanghai who watches a lot of public domain films and likes to send me clips of things he likes

today he emailed me "hey do you want to see Gorgeous George doing the Devil's Kiss in 1949?"

Together, we raised $36,900 for the @cancersociety.bsky.social and the match went 21:49:12, BREAKING the WORLD RECORD for the longest professional wrestling match!

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for every donation, for supporting and tuning in! #WorldsLongestMatch 🤼‍♂️

NEW YAWK RULES

COUNT Y'OWN PINFAWLS

I will never stop being tickled by the fact that there was a Canadian independent promoter named "Bob Puppets."

I've said it often, but libraries are, without hyperbole, one of the greatest things humans have ever done. Like ever.

And I'm supposed to believe Paramount just handed over 7 billion dollars to them because "good product"?

The same company that is bringing in an advisor so that their news station doesn't say negative things about the Trump Regime? Lmfao his daddy absolutely called in favors for him.

What does this guy think TrustPilot is exactly

Did the TMZ Hogan documentary mention that they paid the sex tape thieves/blackmailers $10,000 to screen the videos themselves?

Guessing no.

Oh yeah. They all have no idea how any of it works and don't listen to any advice.

Why did you have to remind me that she existed

This whole exercise is a fascinating example of how news is made, because this has all been open and available information for years.

Was catching up on the Laura Loomer deposition stuff last night & wasn't really familiar with her more infamous tweets.

I'm pretty sure this is the 1st time I've seen a woman use any variation of the gross "your genitalia looks like roast beef" insult on another woman. It's always guys saying it.

Jack Kruger?

I'm not sure when I last listened to Talk is Jericho, but a "Champagne" Gerry Morrow tribute episode definitely piques my interest.

Laura Loomer got asked about one of my tweets in a deposition resulting in a shouting match and demanding an investigation over whether I'm actually Bill Maher

in case you need a reminder why we should keep this stuff away from schools and universities

Oh no! I guess Minoru Suzuki was just SO PISSED at Daniel Garcia for being SO BAD AT THE WRESTLES that he ALSO called him a "FUCKING YOUNG BOY!!!" during the Murder Grandpa Indie Formula Match Tour. Apparently he was just SO disgusted with Brandon Thurston's protege's WORKRATE that he HAD to say it!

Literally the only guy in that whole 2021-2022 indie run who he showed any interest in having a great match with was Homicide.

Everything else was Murder Grandpa formula. Some guys were able to get more out of that than others, but the structure was nearly identical across all of those matches.

I saw a bunch of those matches, though, and I don't remember him yelling it at anyone else. Was this just the loudest and most on mic example?

Also: Kross is buddies with Josh Barnett. Suzuki isn't just going to deliberately bury a guy like that on an NJPW show.

YouTube video by West Coast Pro Wrestling West Coast Pro - Daniel Garcia v Minoru Suzuki - No Leaf Clover

I haven't seen that match since it happened...any recollection of how far in it was? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onn2...

For the record, regardless of what you think of Kross:

If you think the clips of Minoru Suzuki yelling "FUCK YOU, YOUNG BOY!" at him show Suzuki genuinely losing his cool and SHOOTING? Then you need to consume pro wrestling differently.

I've seen theoretically smart people CONVINCED it was legit.
