The Observer | Yes, Robert Jenrick, we have an integration problem: racist white people | Sarfraz Manzoor

What Jenrick did not say, perhaps because it was so obvious, is that there is a community in this country that appears simply disinterested in integrating: they want to surround themselves with people who look just like them, they exist in social and cultural bubbles meaning they are in this country but not part of it, and while for a long time they were considered eccentric but harmless, recent events have shown that we underestimate the threat they represent to all we revere about our society.

I am referring, of course, to racist white people.

Tribune UK | In Search of Left Wrestling

There is a stark contrast between the Hangman redemption arc and WWE’s most recent feel-good saga, in which Cody Rhodes — who, when not wrestling, appears suited and booted and has a tattoo of the American flag on his neck — finished his story by winning WWE’s version of the world title. The whole idea underpinning this seemed to be that because his father, blue-collar wrestling icon Dusty Rhodes, was a champion (albeit not in WWE or the WWF, as it was then known), he should be one too.

WWE’s late-stage capitalist hellscape is just a sign of the times

As I sat down to enjoy WWE Money in the Bank Presented by Cash App®, excitedly awaiting to see who was going to scale the Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey™ Ladder and maybe come crashing through the Snap Into a Slim Jim™ Folding Table, I decanted my Wheatley American Vodka®, glanced over at my package of emergency-use Dude Wipes® and couldn’t help but think WWE has changed over the past year or two; I just couldn’t quite put my finger on how. I bit into a Snickers®, because You’re Not You When You’re Hungry™, cracked open a Prime® and then it hit me: anybody else notice there are a lot of ads on WWE television these days?
