Relatable

A screenshot from the "5 Star Booker" game showing a main event I booked: David Von Erich (WCCW 1980, #7 of 76) vs Johnny Mundo (Lucha Underground, #7 of 48) . The match was rated 5.75 stars.
Underneath the game notes: "First time meeting in real life. First time anyone has booked this matchup!"
Under that the result: "SIMULATED FINISH: David Von Erich def. Johnny Mundo 100%"

Hey, really enjoy the ranging option for promotions! I only play on Smark mode so having that and the note on first-time matchups have been fun additions

A screenshot from the "5 Star Booker" game from Wrestlejoy listing a match from a recent game. The main event is The Junkyard Dog (Mid-South 1981, #2 of 110) vs Adam Page (AEW 2022, #4 of 333). The stipulation is "Texas Death/Texas Death State of Mind).
A prompt from the game reads: "HANGMAN PAGE: TEXAS DEATH MATCH. First time anyone has booked this matchup!"
Underneath: "SIMULATED FINISH: The Junkyard Dog def. Adam Page 96%)
Overhead in green is the star rating for the match -- 4 1/2

With #SDCC coming up, I wonder if anybody has pitched THIS movie. Let's face it, Kong has been glomming onto Godzilla's coattails for decades. Minus One vs the Avengers would pop houses all over. (This game is real, btw; it's due out in November.)

The cover of the sourcebook for November's ‘Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: Godzilla.' It features Godzilla stomping through a city with several Avengers (including Iron Man, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Thor, the Hulk, and Doctor Strange) crowding around him. There is more information at marvel.com/rpg

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Kaoru Ichigo (played by Shingo Katsurayama) wakes up laying on an attentive Yusuke Godai (Joe Odagiri) in a scene from "Kamen Rider Kuuga." The caption reads, "Good morning, Ichijo."

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

Nandor The Relentless (played by Kayvan Novak) goes shopping in a scene from the show "What We Do In The Shadows." Nandor has long black hair and a beard; he is wearing a black cape with gold trim over a black long-sleeved top. The end of his white shirt sleeves, which feature a pointed design rather than a traditional round cuff, can be seen poking out of the top.

If you see this...post a female superhero!

The Marvel Comics (Earth-616) incarnation of Monica Rambeau, who has been known there as Captain Marvel and Photon. She is a Black woman with long hair, here wearing a black long coat over her uniform -- a white top with a black highlight over her shoulders, along with black tights and boots.

At the reflecting pool and, guys (and gays and theys), this doesn't look right

This young lady went walkabout last night but is back to being a cuddlebug

My flatmate's cat Izzy, an older black kitty, avoids the camera while standing on my lap, but I took a selfie anyway.

In this July 2, 2017 photo, I -- a dark-haired cis guy with glasses and facial hair -- am standing on the left hand side wearing a dress shirt. On the right, wearing a black t-shirt and carrying the International Wrestling Grand Prix heavyweight title belt, is Japanese pro wrestler Kazuchika Okada. He has short blond hair. We both have a hand outstretched in a clenched position, as if posing for a fight photo.

There's been a rash of weird accounts lately with a version of this phrase ("I like reading news on Blue Sky because there aren't many ads and algorithmic distractions") for a bio.

And that's Young MC out from the State Fair, too.

A screenshotted statement from rapper Young MC's Facebook page: "I HAVE INFORMED MY AGENTS THAT I WILL NOT BE PERFORMING AT THE FREEDOM 250 EVENT. The artists were never told about any political involvement with the event. And despite the claims by the organizers that the event is non-partisan, SPIN magazine describes it as 'Trump-backed'. I hope to perform in D.C. in the near future at an event that is not so politically charged."

A title card for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" using an episode from "Babylon 5": "In The Shadow of Z'ha'Dum." Behind the title we see the station DS9, a circular metal structure floating in space.

So, this story deals with Mercor, which is shitty enough on its own. But it's also become big enough that it had to warn LinkedIn posters about other scam "companies" trying to lure people in by claiming to be recruiting for them.

A reddit post from "mercor_ai" warning users: "Watch out for these LinkedIn profiles who are claiming to be staffing and recruitment companies. They're really people who don't work for Mercor and are only trying to make money off of referral links. Mercor does not use any of these people to hire for their projects. Watch out for:

"AI Jobs, Crossing Hurdles, Great Value Hiring, TalentSync, Taskify AI, Quik Hire Staffing, Call for Referral, North Star Staffing, Get Offers, YO HR Consultancy, Talent Bridge"

Alongside each listed "company" name is a link to its LinkedIn page

A 6-panel modified page of dialogue from Thor to Iron Man: "Many wish to grasp the hammer of Thor. But only the most worthy ever feel its might. And this be NOT the hammer of which I speak. The hammer I speak of is my manhood."

The dialogue does not actually appear in any canonical Marvel title; it's an adaptation of a similar monologue from the short comedy film "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog."

OK maybe I'll wait a little longer

My roommate's black cat, Izzy, has now taken a spot on my midsection. Pickle is out of frame and still on my foot.

Post your favorite LOTR character, wrong answers only.

Disney's animated Robin Hood, as voiced by Brian Bedford. He is a (literal) fox dressed in a green shirt and hat, with his trademark bow in one hand as he spreads his arms wide.

He looks so dignified. Meanwhile, I give you my roommate's cat Pickle:
