America's Sweetheart
This is well-known throughout the wrestling business and among wrestling media. It was never reported because it's such a sensitive issue that everyone kind of quietly agrees not to report on that kind of visa stuff without the talent's permission. But with PAC passing away, that part is moot.
Since WWE's trying to exploit PAC's death, it's time to talk about this: Remember how PAC suddenly had visa issues when AEW started? That's because, when the AEW trademarks were filed, WWE called USCIS to claim he walked out on his visa. After leaving him alone for a year and giving him his release.
Though he bestrode the narrow world like a Colossus throughout the 2000s, George W. Bush is seldom seen or remarked-upon nowadays - a victim of wilful amnesia among the American public. And in the cultural sphere, the exact same is true of Jay Leno.
"Trae Young hadn't been traded yet. I wasn't paying attention to to the team until Atlanta started running the offense through Jalen Johnson and leaned into their defensive length and athleticism," Smith added
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8h agoextremely weird shit during the Jack Smith hearing -- Sen. Eric Schmitt's team briefly displays a poster board that Schmitt claims contains evidence Smith committed perjury, but then Schmitt's team takes it down before anybody can read it and refuses to show Smith what it says
This would have prevented the awful world we live in today
Big Show Ripping Darts@homunculusdick.bsky.social · yesterdayBack during their NXT days, Sami Zayn pitched a ska gimmick for him and Neville. Apparently, it was approved by Dusty at the time but for some reason didn't move forward.
Okay but Day'Ron Sharpe saying "I'm never going down there" is crazy. You are a grown man

The unprotected "bike lane" serves as both overflow parking for the neighborhood's scofflaws, and as a reminder that New York City’s streetscape has been shaped by political power and moneyed interests instead of by the principals of safe design. buff.ly/YFBFy5g

The Mamdani administration is taking advantage of a reduction in motor vehicle traffic in western Queens by adding a crucial new protected bike lanes and wider sidewalks — and you can thank congestion pricing. buff.ly/azoy1Fi

Christmas is saved: The MTA finished repairing the leaks in the Newtown Creek tunnel early which means no December G train shutdowns in the neighborhood
The Penn Station project master agreement that had Janno Lieber so crabby did in fact contain every provision he raised an alarm about: lobbying for Amtrak's funding demands, opening up the lease, not having a say in final designs. FIRST in Streetsblog nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/09/25/r...

Some personal news: I'm putting MetroGraph at the top of the standings for the "Shut the fuck up and don't talk or use your phone during the movie" announcement, because of the way they use the "Do not seek the treasure" scene from "O Brother Where Art Thou" www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzyA...

Tuesday was the highest post-pandemic subway ridership outside of the tourist-juiced holiday season ridership, and that 4,625,001 number could get an upward revision bumping it to highest post-pandemic ridership
Thank you Bibi for fighting the stereotype that Jews are funny, by breaking out this atrocious prop comedy

Ric Burns has two new episodes of “New York: A Documentary Film” for us, and he also has a big thesis: Mike Bloomberg is our best mayor next to Fiorella LaGuardia nygroove.nyc/new-york-a-d...
Bloomberg was the city’s greatest modern mayor, say the city’s greatest documentarians

Tucker Carlson, we can start your road to repentance with you getting low and staying very still as I run and deliver a Randy Orton-style punt to your unprotected skull
Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social · 5d ago"Across the wide-ranging discussion, Carlson repented for his decades as a cable TV partisan, saying he called too much attention to the wrong issues." It would be good to have criteria for attributing "repentance" for decades of behavior beyond saying sorry once. www.npr.org/2026/09/24/n...

Perhaps the most bizarre part of this meeting is that Rep. Nydia Velazquez, aligned with reformers, may have been accidentally selected as chair of the county committee, because the slate of names put forth by Brooklyn Dems accidentally left off a name for chairperson.
Big day for the city as a war criminal will get up in front of literally the United Nations to complain about the mayor like some kind of sentient Jewbelong billboard
“I was today years old when I”— you bolt awake. Pines stretch far into the sky above the bed of grass and needles you’re lying upon. “Uk, bagg chuk?” Your cro-magnon partner nudges you to get up. There are mammoth to hunt. The ice is melting. Birds are singing choruses that feel forgotten.
