14 years ago today, Kenny Omega wrestled the 9 year old girl Haruka who was a member of STARDOM’s inaugural training class. One of the best things you will ever see in wrestling.
Naked financial fraud, against their own customers. Shocking Elon and Trump didn't get along better.

So Hulk Hogan died. As a former Gawker writer (as are all Gawker writers thanks to Hulk Hogan), I won't be the first or the last to say 'fuck that guy.' Dance on any grave you want to, but this one's mine.
I think it's on the Mr.McMahon documentary Hogan proudly declares that he ratted them out and because he was on top and getting paid way better. I was honestly shocked about how candid he was about it.

It's cool that a few South African jabronis can invest some money in "a bank but online" in the early 2000s and a few decades later they're operating shadow governments and have more power than most countries around the world. this is an economy that Makes Sense
Literally a white guy crying over archival cushbomb recordings on the train home to bushwick
Can’t believe I’ve lived far enough into the future to learn the first slur for robots

Hey everyone, I’m covering the Tornado Cash trial for @theragetech with the help of @davidzmorris… Quick update this Thursday: The prosecution’s last witness, a paralegal for the US Attorneys Office, has taken the stand. She has been reading messages from Roman Storm throughout…
Famously, the standardization of the workweek by early industrialists was vociferously resisted by workers, who often attempted to recreate an earlier era's work tempo by intermittently getting too drunk to work – especially on, you guessed it, Mondays
People are so anti-intellectual these days. The content of someone's day under feudalism probably had more to do with when in the year it was than which day of the week.
Meet Robert Dillon of Lee County, Florida. Jacksonville Beach PD used AI facial recognition linking him to surveillance footage with a “93% match.” One problem: He was innocent. If Palantir’s tech takes over, this will become the new normal—guilty until proven innocent.
Chapo Trap House is successful solely because they cynically attached themselves like a remora fish to an already wildly popular cultural figure (El Chapo)
Q: why is the new Fed HQ so expensive? A: because they needed to make room for for de basement
Did I mention pre-orders are open guys
