TTBF posted:Just want to warn you that Dave goes into way more (and unnecessary) detail in the newsletter about how Hana killed herself. Took me by surprise and has ruined my night. I'm having trouble wording this but I've been genuinely haunted by the image of it for the past couple days in a way I think I've only been once or twice before. Like, I can't see someone with pink hair without immediately picturing things I'd really rather not ever think about. Don't read stuff about the details if you're feeling at all uncertain about whether or not you should, take care of yourself. Draxion fucked around with this message at 09:36 on May 29, 2020 |

I am grateful for the warning and probably will just skip this issue as I don't need that in my head.

Details about the death aside, I thought it was a pretty good summary that covered all the events and responses surrounding it.

In happier news, the JR interview is alright, but I loved the awkward dead air when Bryan asked what's the difference between Vince and Tony and JR said: "Vince drinks (Whisky), Tony drinks white claws" (*edit: apologies for really bad mobile typo) I felt the cogs turning for Bryan and he was trying to work out if it's was a useful metaphor that JR would expand on, or aggressively useless trivia. Turned out to be a good metaphor, but he had to force it out of JR. (it was about how Vince was of a different generation, Tony is young and on trend) Wazzu fucked around with this message at 09:29 on May 30, 2020 |

I have no desire to taste one but I'm glad folks have variety now. Other than my raging anxiety, one of the reason why I binge drank was just to shut down the tastes buds. NGL Whiskey, vodka, tequila, all that stuff not beer and certain breeds of mead taste like dog vomit. And thanks to the miracle of dog, I know dog vomit tastes like. I miss that insane poodle even if he did try to kill me. twice.

I'm not a big drinker but I like Claws and their various off-brand cousins because gin/vodka tonic has always been my drink of choice. I like my alcohol to not taste like anything.

I guess the "even if what the wrestlers are saying is mostly correct, it still feels like WWE greenlit Dave as an acceptable target" stuff has aged kind of OK since we've seen more of that since then?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZpVykOMJLo Jim really does have a lot of great takes. I know some people have a problem with the Hardy's, especially Jeff, but he's dead-on when he talks about how the WWE totally wasted the unbelievably over return of their biggest tag team act of the last two decades. Matt is off doing great things in AEW and the WWE continues to Waste Jeff. I'll always love the Hardy's and, on a more personal note, I agree wit Jim that it's great that a potential wrestling tragedy was averted and became a triumph.

I know no one is in the mind of Dave and don't really like thinking about it but where are Garrett and Jim in the succession plan of the Empire? Bryan seems to be the next in line for the scoopsthrone but I feel like either of those two are more 'serious' journalists than Bryan is.

I don't think Dave has a legit successor. I can't take Bryan seriously as a writer or a journalist, he's a loud TV news type guy meant to be entertaining, he could never write the kind of detailed obituaries and serious stories Dave does. I think someone outside their group will probably become the successor in spirit, but then again news has been declining in every genre away from journalism and into clickbait and entertainment.

Bryan is basically a shockjock you have to host your phone ins. He does however at times challenge dave on things which is a step up from GG and Jim who kinda understand you just pull dave's string and let him go because really that's what we want from those shows.

Bryan was clearly supposed to be the successor when he was still doing news reporting and writing and stuff. I have no idea what's changed since then, because Dave clearly hasn't been mentoring anyone as far as actual reporting. In all honesty, Dave should not have a direct successor. Nobody should be expected to know and cover everything. He's lucky that doing the Observer the way he does hasn't been worse on his health.

It's an impossible standard for one person to be the single most reliable historian, reporter, analyst, and radio personality.

10 years ago we could all feel good knowing that Dave wouldn't slow down before he was 60 and now we can feel good knowing that will be true until he's 70, especially since he'll be getting empty next syndrome soon.
