I’ve been wearing my heart on my sleeve lately. I’m a bleeding heart for justice, peace, and faith. There’s lots of stuff going on that is not fair and lots of people are getting hurt by it in one way or another. This is what happens when you are paying attention and seeing what is going on in the world. Speaking out is needed I think.
Just some commentary on the days events.
Meta is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, What’s App, and Threads. I am on all three platforms and I won’t be dropping any of them. I rely upon Facebook to keep up with family, friends, and other stuff I am interested in. Threads, the Twitter replacement is a great place of connection and communication. I stay connected to pro wrestling there. Instagram has a purpose for visual expression and communication.
Yes, Meta’s chief Mark Zuckerberg’s business and ethical dealings are very suspect. We have seen what he has done in eliminating fact-checking and DEI initiatives. Sure some of his decisions are disappointing. The platforms his company has created are vital for many to keep in touch. Sure I can moderate my usage and tweak the settings so that I won’t bothered with stuff I don’t want to see.
Until someone can create a viable replacement with the same social reach as Facebook then I won’t be leaving. Nor will I leave Instagram or Threads. Hopefully, in the coming years, we will have that option.
What is happening in AEW, NJPW, Stardom, CMLL, Rev Pro, and ROH is what professional wrestling should be. World-class competition provides opportunities to men and women all across the globe. Professional wrestling should never be restricted to one company. I also want to elevate the independent promotions who are providing local action in their communities. We should never diminish any athlete or the promotion they work for that wants to make the sport the best it can be.
There is truth in this meme. Essential truth in which all agree I think.
This has been the longest year this week. Or something like that.
Seriously, 2025 seems to be dragging along. I don’t know why but it just does. Maybe things will speed up soon.
