  1. I’ve been to both (several times) and I much prefer AAPW. Wrestle Circus was more polished and they brought in some established talent. But it always felt like a one-off event. There were no promos, no storylines, etc. You were just there to watch two people fake fight each other, with no narrative context. Kind of takes the fun out of it. AAPW is rougher in terms of the actual wrestling. It’s a school, and the performers are students with varying amounts of experience and talent (some are really talented, though). But they put more effort into creating storylines and characters that make the show what it should be: a stupid soap opera that allows you to enjoy the obviously fake fighting as a work of immersive fiction. Hell, there was a turn at a recent show that even my wife was fucking stunned and upset by — jaw dropped to the floor, gasped, stared at the screen in shock — and she thinks wrestling is stupid nonsense (which… fair enough). Plus, it’s like $20 and BYOB. Definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of the territories from the 70s and 80s.
  2. This. There’s a pro wrestling school in Austin that puts on shows every two weeks or so, and the style reminds me of the old territories.
  3. And in particular, in a WH staffer’s internet browsing history.
  4. Is that the Party whose members make terrible decisions that cause serious harm in our actual lives based entirely on make-believe fears and misunderstood jokes?
  5. There are federal regulations that define the maximum allowable radioactivity of a wasp nest?
  6. Sounds awesome. You can save a whole 7 minutes on the airport commute, which is totally worth the 30 minutes it will take you to get in your car, drive to the tunnel station, walk to the terminal, pay for a ride, and wait for a car to pick you up.
  7. Same deal in Austin. But it was a dry 70 degrees on the drive into work this morning. Felt like October.
  8. I agree with her, though. There shouldn’t be any regulations on space travel. Anyone dumb enough to hop in an unregulated rocket for a hundred million mile journey to colonize an arid rock with no water, no food, no atmosphere, and no magnetic field should be encouraged to do so immediately. Bon voyage, idiots!
  9. Totally normal thing for the President to say about a pimp.
  10. Anyone ever catch the AAPW matches in Austin? They’re a blast, tickets are cheap, and it’s BYOB.
  11. Spain’s backup striker lost them this game. A fucking striker who can’t strike the ball or put a PK on frame.
  12. …and again. It’s like she’s afraid of touching the fucking ball.
  13. That backup Spanish striker has whiffed on soooo many perfect crosses this tournament.
  14. That’s probably because you’re a fucking idiot.
  15. I’m just sad that the left will use this to divide people. We should be able to remain friends while disagreeing about the political issue of broiling each other in mass ovens.
  16. Laugh if you want, but how else are you supposed to make homemade Nutter Butters?
  17. The Spanish women are so skilled. It’s a fun team to watch.
  18. Good school. Boring campus / town.
  19. That’s pretty close to our list. Remove UNC, add Wisconsin and CU (which is basically UT from the mid-90s, and rising). We’ll probably toss an application over to Berkeley, too.
  20. Our youngest is comfortably auto-admit and is looking for a big prestigious state university with good sports, but probably won’t even apply to (and certainly will not enroll at) UT. It’s crazy because so much of our family graduated from UT and loved it so much that being a Longhorn is part of our identity. But in talking through school options, I just keep finding myself saying “Fuck UT. It’s becoming a fascist shithole. Go somewhere else.” It’s really depressing.
