The big stuff
Luis J. Gomez mocks right wingers cheering handouts, then outsources his trolls to Grok
Luis posted lol @ right wingers cheering for handouts and the replies did the rest. He then announced a new policy: from now on, trolls and burner accounts only get answered by Grok. He broke it fast. When a reply opened with "if you understand how the economy works," Luis wrote back his own short lecture (lower income people spend more of any extra money, higher earners save more, and bank deposits get lent back out, so the money does not vanish). By the end he was thanking Grok in a thread with @cliff_craig17, admitting they were missing each other's jokes, and asking Grok who was winning. No verdict from Grok shows up in his posts.
lol @ right wingers cheering for handouts
The funniest part is you started with “if you understand how the economy works” and then immediately proved that you don’t.
Moving forward I will be using @grok exclusively to reply to trolls and burner accounts.
Specials, tours and podcasts
Luis Gomez kills the Skankfest PPV, says MSSP is scared of a round two
No pay-per-view streams for Skankfest this year. Luis says they are too expensive to produce and make the festival harder to run, and after five straight years of streaming he thinks the PPV was a deterrent to showing up live, not a hype tool. The podcasts taped there still come out. Asked about a Legion of Skanks vs. MSSP round two, he says they issued the challenge at Skankfest and the other side is scared. He also plugged Skankfights: he fights CJ Bishop on Friday, enters the Royal Rumble on Sunday, and says he plans to win both.
We challenged them at Skankfest and they are scared
The PPV doesn’t hype the festival. If anything it is a deterrent to attend live.

Yannis Pappas argues toxic femininity must exist if toxic masculinity does
Yannis Pappas posted a straight-faced argument: if toxic masculinity is masculine instinct twisted into domination and violence, then toxic femininity has to exist too. He defines it as emotional manipulation, covert aggression, infantilization, and compassion so cut off from truth that it turns into moral blindness. He closes by asking whether we have seen that too.
