Since I can be more honest on here than anywhere, because nobody is on this: The responses to all the latest burlesque drama are the exact reason why I don’t hang out with 99% of burlesque people. Jesus Christ

If your labor quote is more than the naked women on stage are making, you fucked up.
If you expect me to use you, instead of the people I normally work with, because you’re β€œtied to the venue,” we’ll find another venue.
If you want to act like a union stagehand at a BK backroom venue, fuck off.

β€œIf the Boyscouts don’t get in line, the Pentagon will pull their funding” is not a sentence I ever thought I would read.

Watching a jiujitsu video breakdown, and the teacher just referred to slamming someone as β€œhitting them with the planet.”

I’ll keep saying it: I’m a public employee. You can look up my salary, employment history, disciplinary issues. From there it’s not hard to see where I live.
This is required by law because I’m a fireman. Yet somehow posting info on armed, masked men in unmarked cars grabbing people is β€œdoxxing.”

There was a β€œwhat’s the most famous weapon from your country” thread. Someone from Mexico posted a Macuahuitl. He lost to the person that responded with this.

You can’t upgrade to ESPN Unlimited, because the Disney+ HULU ESPN+ Legacy bundle is no longer offered through your Verizon app. You can try to get this through Amazon, where you used to get AppleTV, before you had to get AppleTV through its own app, because it came through your Chase Sapphire…

So you want to watch this thing on ESPN+, but it’s locked behind ESPN Unlimited. You need to upgrade ESPN+ to ESPN Unlimited, you can do so by going to ESPN+ in your Disney+ settings, which says you have the Disney+ HULU ESPN+ package through your Verizon app.

This is literally why the war criminals in Ireland were called β€œBlack & Tans.”
They were thrown into policing with almost no training, and a mishmash of non-matching military and police uniforms. 100 years later, we’re reliving history.

β€œWe can’t abolish an entire agency!”
N. Ireland renamed their police, reduced them by 12-20%, forced officers to wear name tags, forced officers to disclose any orgs. they belong to, and mandated hiring changes.
β€œBut that was long ago!”
They did this 15 months before ICE was created.

My friend just stated that, going forward, his page is going to be 100% trains and smut. I don’t think I’ve ever seen autism summed up in one post

Again reminding everyone to follow @ryangrim.bsky.social . Pretty much the only actual reporter left in the U.S. Not a pundit, not a talking head. A guy that goes out and does actual investigative journalism in 2026.
He’s broken stories some huge stories on Gaza, ICE, etc.

Just deleted Threads, because META was filling my IG feed with right wing garbage. Realized I forgot about this app. So I guess I’m back and going dick out again

People see Ben Affleck’s perfect summation of A.I. development plateauing, and act shocked that he’s incredibly intelligent. β€œHow’d he end up with J-Lo twice?”
Look, we’ve all done insanely dumb shit for latinas. Cast the first stone, etc.

The news is telling on itself again. 0 deaths in L.A. is a β€œriot,” 203 deaths in Iran is a β€œprotest.”

This 23 year old in MN blew the roof off this daycare fraud by showing up to the daycares!
My brother in Christ, go to a daycare and say β€œhi, I’m just here to film the children for a bit.” In a red state, you’d be shot in the first 30 seconds.

Can’t wait for China to snatch our President, and I can point to the celebration in Washington Square and say β€œbut look how happy the Americans are!”

I’m at the age where I’ll think a celebrity is cute, look her up, and get skeeved out with myself if she’s like 22. So I’m pretty sure a huge chunk of men are just straight pedos.

Another odd indicator of the K shaped economy. The $400/ticket New Year’s Eve events seem to be selling out, the $90/ticket ones seem to still be running sales on 12/30; and I’ve never seen so many performers have their gigs pulled last minute.
We’re well into the second gilded age.

A24: β€œSo it’s a movie about two incels that kidnap a CEO, because they think she’s an alien. Maybe go minimalist. Just ominous tones, and silence?”

A child trafficker meets with POTUS’ personal lawyer, lies about POTUS innocence, and gets transferred to a min. security camp with special privileges. Emails drop with indisputable proof that she lied.

Watching Next Gen Chef, chefs are competing at the CIA. First challenge is to create a menu based on the CIA graduate you’ve been assigned to emulate. There’s a team assigned β€œAnthony Bourdain.” If their first course isn’t β€œgo out into the alley and do this bump” then what’s the point of this?
