Also in garbage news today, Georgia's governor signed a campus carry bill, allowing concealed guns on college grounds. Looks like I'm quitting my teaching job!

Times are pretty good for non-WWE wrestling promotions these days. WWE is still the only one with a major TV deal, but there are lots of promotions putting on good shows, many of which are available for purchase via download. LU is definitely the most easy to access, and it is some high quality stuff.

That Nakamura match was a great one. it was on NXT Takover Dallas, which was an excellent show top to bottom.

I don't think you have a severed arm holding a sword fly out of the picture and into the letterboxes before reentering the frame and stabbing someone in the neck without expecting laughs at the over-the-top-ness of it.

If anything it was more subdued than I expected. The book plus Fuller/Slade made me think it would be INSANE. This was still recognizably a TV show.

It's kind of tough to pick a representative episode of a WWE show that can easily be jumped into, since they run year round and always have multiple storylines at different stages going on at once. That said, the closest thing WWE comes to a season premiere are the Raw and Smackdown episodes right after Wrestlemania,

Better Call Saul: Fate

Holy shit, he's Drax.

I know I said my stance on the Deadwood movie is that I'll believe it is real when I'm watching it, but IT'S KIND OF REAL NOW, ISN'T IT?!

Ugh, you're the worst.

Not that I was going to be able to get tickets to see it during my Memorial Day trip to NY anyway, but now I really won't be able to get tickets.

It wasn't even just that for me-if you had good stats they actively avoided you. My vassals were Trump voters, basically-you had to be a moron from a family where nobody else had ever been a leader to become Tanist.

That was one of the more inspired decisions I've ever made.

She hasn't finished S6 yet (and I still haven't either), but I would guess she would say 2 > 1 > 3 > 5 > 6 > 4.

Remember My World of Flops? Well it's back! In "hosted on Rabin's new website" form!

Congratulations! You are now the president.

This might be the most baffling one yet. Anybody who knows anything, and I mean anything, about American history knows who the first president was and who the president was during the Civil War.

I have to question the moral fiber of any federally appointed justice who retires under Trump. You are allowing an avowed anti-intellectual with no respect for the judicial system to replace you with someone who will be confirmed by a senate that was willing to throw out a rule that goes back to the founding of the
