Knowing that Dana White hates pro wrestling. Watching him announce publicly UFC fights to decent reception then announce a WWE event which gets a much bigger crowd reaction is incredibly funny. The man is in a personal hell of his own making
The other part I find fascinating is that he cannot stop sexualizing me or Alyssa. He has made sexualized AI of both of us. He tracks ANY male who reposts her and calls them a simp and claims they want to have sex with her. He has no understanding of “friendship” only two words: “simp” and “cuck.”
alyssa mercante@alyssamerc.bsky.social · 11h agoThis complete freak has been monitoring me and my family for over two years, consistently trying to dox us and AI-generating images of me and them. He regularly updates other threads on the scum site, clearly has no job or friends, truly an irredeemable loser.
Edinburgh might be one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen and I’m furious at myself for not visiting sooner

I was wondering how Corey Graves would handle Bug Cass returning to WWE. Seems he went silent during it. Having your job be to talk up the man that dated your wife and who was (allegedly) abusive is definitely a level of hell that only wrestling can bring #WWERAW
When your small time gacha/tower defense mobile game that’s barely making profit has a crossover with Assassin’s Creed for some reason, lol Watcher of Realms x Assassin’s Creed coming August 20th
I’ve said before. The CEO of ShiftUp is all in on AI despite being a talented artist themselves. It really makes #NIKKE a risk of going full slop (it hasn’t, yet)

"Surely expanding the list to 20 would show plenty of new games" Well. Sure. Each list had exactly one new game reach the top 20. The rest were mostly long running live service or annualized sports titles. This is just the PS/XBX market right now.

Just got harassed by staff in my local KFC for wearing a mask because my partner is disabled. That’s a new one
Having now beaten all the Halo CEvo campaign and bonus missions, I don’t understand what the outrage about Lieutenant Williams was about? That she’s an ODST who doesn’t insta-worship Chief for like 10 minutes? Are gamers that soft about a woman not complimenting you for existing? #Halo
I wake up to more people who are worth a damn following me and their disappointment will come fast. Most of the time it’s rambling of Hoyo stuff, WWE and how bleak life in Scotland is, lol

@kaylees.site Hi, I grind Microsoft Rewards on the Bing app. The typical daily quests work fine but I noticed the “More Activities/Explore on Bing” section where it asks you to search specific things doesn’t work when Filtr is enabled Is there any reason why one part of the scheme wouldn’t work?
Utter slop. What an embarrassing aim event and the fans cheering it really exposed themselves with that one #SummerSlam
How can one chair shot, 12 years ago, be milked this damn much. We cannot keep doing this, lads. #Summerslam
God damn, this is utter shite, lmao. A real buzzkill to an otherwise fun enough show. #SummerSlam
So, there’s just no DQ or count outs I guess 🤷♂️ #SummerSlam
He finally did it! It took 2 years longer than it should to get here but Chad Gable finally has a championship! #SummerSlam
She’s not keeping it but fuck it, I’ll take it. Let’s go, PatriHots! 🫡 #SummerSlam
