“The real damage from terrorist attacks doesn't come from the explosion. The real damage is done after the explosion, by the victims, who repeatedly and determinedly attack themselves, giving over reason in favor of terror... Terrorism is about magnifying one mediagenic act of violence into one hundred billion acts of terrorized authoritarian idiocy.” GivingRealReasonDoneViolenceHundredVictimTerrorTerrorismFavorsBillionsTerroristDamageExplosionsTerrorist AttacksIdiocyActs Of ViolenceMagnifyingSelf GivingDamage Is Done Author:Cory Doctorow
“Open platforms and experimental amateurs eventually beat out the spendy, slick pros. Relying on incumbents to produce your revolutions is not a good strategy.

“I have no fear; I have nothing to lose. I'd rather burn out than fade away, and I would rather go out in a blaze of glory on my own terms than let anybody dictate anything to me in my career. I had the chance to wrestle The Undertaker [on Smackdown in 2013], and one thing I took away from it was that he looked me in the eye and said, 'Trust your instincts because you've got great instincts.'” SaidEyeTermLosesChanceMy OwnCareersOne ThingGloryInstinctFadesNo FearFade AwayHave No FearNothing To LoseBurn OutUndertakerTrust Your Instincts Author:Dean Ambrose

“I’m always looking to top the last match, I’m always looking to entertain the fans and steal the show. Before I always thought that it was a case of opportunities, but I’m learning that it’s all in my control and I just want to keep on doing what I’m doing by giving my best. I’ve got a couple more magical matches left in me and hopefully at some stage, I guess the biggest honour would be going into the TNA Hall of Fame.” WantGivingShowsWould BeLastsOpportunityLeftCasesFansStageCoupleFameStealingHopefullyHallsHonourHall Of Fame Author:Gail Kim
“Coming here, I sharpened and fine-tuned everything I had and needed. What I thought of as myself as a performer, I looked back and was like, ‘Wow, I improved from where I was.’ I thought I was ready and then saw the improvements I made which were unbelievable. It makes the transition from down here to up there (the WWE roster) so much easier because you’re prepared for what they need you to do. It’s not like you’re jumping into a whole other world. You’re prepared for what they need.” WorldNeedsMadeWholeSawsReadyLike YouFineNeededEasierPreparedImprovementTransitionPerformersWowWweUnbelievableJumpingNeed YouOther WorldsRosters Author:Bo Dallas
“I have watched Brock Lesnar for a really long time and I thought I knew how strong he was, I thought I knew how fast he was. Being in the ring with him, he is a completely different animal. He is a beast. They call him the Beast Incarnate and that is real. Whether you are in the Octagon with him trading fists, or in the ring trading German suplexes it is on another level. It was a pleasure and I am glad I got to be in the ring with him and i think I proved to the entire world I can hang with the guy.” ThinkingWorldLongI CanDifferentRealGuyStrongPleasureAnimalLevelsLong TimeRingsGladBeastTradingFistsReally LongDifferent Animals Author:Seth Rollins
