it's actually so crazy how much the simpsons would fucking suck if it didn't have any of the simpsons characters. just a bunch of shots of empty houses and streets for half an hour while nothing happens. that would be so badddd lol
yeah that tends to happen when you remove characters from media. without characters its all just background. i guess movies set in scenic locations would still land as kinda nature docs but even then
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

Hello! Welcome back to AEW Women’s Division Monthly Stats.
This is the fifth month of this project. The previous months can be found at the following links: January, February, March, April. Although not necessary, I highly recommend you take a moment to read those for a better understanding of this project.
As a reminder, I am tracking matches, match length, promo segments, promo lengths, women’s wrestlers who appear on the show, maximum in-ring time, and maximum TV time.
The timings are all collected as the show is airing, so I apologize for any mistakes.
A few notes before jumping in: I am only tracking TV time at the moment. I plan to expand into tracking Pay-Per-View time.
This month, there were multiple 3-hour showings, one of which was on May 6th. This is the only time I extended the 3-hour showing into its Collision slot, as the the next Collision was only an hour. I am debating, for future months, whether or not to continue this method. Originally, I had done this for fear that leaving it as is would skew the data, but I would appreciate feedback from those reading this.
Now for this month’s stats:
In May 2026, there were a total of 14 women’s matches, the same amount as the previous month. There were 6 singles matches, 6 tag matches, 1 trios match, and 1 eight-women tag match.
This month marked the first time this year that a woman’s match has gone past 15 minutes of in-ring time.
The shortest match this month was on the May 27th Dynamite. This was a tag team match between Tay Melo and Anna Jay against Ava Everett and Allie Katch. It was 1 minute and 12 seconds.
The longest match this month was on the May 27th Dynamite/Collision. This was a singles match where Hikaru Shida faced off against Kris Statlander. It lasted 15 minutes and 55 seconds.
Out of 8 shows this month, 6 of them had two matches. For the fifth month in a row, we have not yet seen three matches on one show card. This is an issue we see every month. Until something changes, I will continue to point it out.
This month there were 23 promo segments. This includes backstage promos, live promos, and video packages. If men were featured, the segment was not counted.
The shortest segment was on the May 30th Collision at 15 seconds. The longest segment was on the May 20th Dynamite at 2 minutes and 32 seconds.
Wrestling is in constant motion, so there is a chance I may have missed someone.
According to my data, the May 6th Dynamite had the least amount of women’s wrestlers at 5 total. The May 20th Dynamite had the most women’s appearances with 16 total.
This month, Marina Shafir was the only woman who appeared on every show. As I’ve stated before, I believe this is a result of her position in a male-centered faction that appears on every show. Marina herself did not have any TV matches this month.
AEW shows usually run two hours, unless there is an overrun or special runtime. There were multiple special runtimes this month. Thank you to @impossiblekittydelusion for gathering the accurate runtimes.
The total runtime for AEW TV this month was 19 hours 30 minutes and 7 seconds. Out of that time, the women only received 2 hours 6 minutes and 11 seconds. That time is further thinned out to 1 hour 44 minutes and 31 seconds of in-ring action.
The least amount of time the women had in-ring was on the May 13th Dynamite at 10 minutes. The most amount of in-ring time the women had was on the May 27th Dynamite at 17 minutes and 7 seconds.
The least amount of total TV time the women had was on the May 13th Dynamite at 11 minutes and 57 seconds. The most was on the May 27th Dynamite at 17 minutes and 53 seconds.
As always, I want to express my gratitude to everyone who takes the time to read these posts. This project continues to be something I love working on and sharing with all of you. Every tag, comment, and note means the world to me.
When I watch and see people speaking out about how the women’s division is mistreated, I feel encouraged. As fans, we must continue to use our voices to make our concerns known and show that we will not stand for this. Hopefully, we will all see the future we are pushing for come to fruition.
I will see you all again next month! Thank you for reading!
The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.
"From these made-up horrors, these fictionalized enemies, he had created a villain worthy of the violent bravado that he imagined he would display if confronted by said villain. This web of racist lies was what he needed to make himself seem like a man. He invented a story about bad guys who were out to get him, and he repeated it to himself and others until he believed it. Then he made up another story- of himself as hero, defending himself and his family against this violent threat- and he repeated that one until he believed it too. Brian wrote himself into his own American westen, a world of cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers. And for a man with no job, few friends, and a family that couldn't stand him, pretending to be a main character in violent American mythology was as close to belonging as he was ever going to get."
