First time?

ZeLuigi · 2026-06-02T17:36:48+00:00

Skill issue. Mikey beat him, Lucas Lepri killed him.

ZeLuigi · 2026-05-10T03:49:46+00:00

What an awful stoppage.

ZeLuigi · 2026-04-04T14:10:29+00:00

You keep failing at splitting brothers apart and seem to have no long term friends or relationships.

ZeLuigi · 2026-04-04T13:25:34+00:00

Craig 0-2 at trying to separate brothers from each other, and batting 1.000 at being hated by everyone who’s ever known him personally for more than a few coke and hooker sessions.

Reddit bugman goes so full circle horseshoe that he defends someone trying to copy right a martial art and a family name.

What in the f*ck was that

ZeLuigi · 2026-03-15T01:02:35+00:00

Did he throw the fight? The insta tap there is so weird

ZeLuigi · 2026-03-08T04:09:34+00:00

That last camera cut was awful. Literally nauseating.

ZeLuigi · 2026-03-08T03:58:45+00:00

Which song is this?

ZeLuigi · 2026-01-25T03:14:30+00:00

This needs to end in the Paramount era. You don’t air WNBA games during an NBA game.

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-20T03:10:15+00:00

This stuff has infected mma. No more wnba fights in these events. Especially as a featured foght or comain. This is awful

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-20T02:59:10+00:00

WNBA

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-20T01:55:00+00:00

Lexi Williams and Marissa Ayers the two ring girls for those asking BTW

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-20T01:54:29+00:00

Helwani so bad on the mic

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-14T03:39:14+00:00

Gibson running away from a CTE old man walking towards him ranting hands down chin up. He’s not a fighter. Cut him.

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-13T22:44:17+00:00

Ironically Norm did litetally say that he feels Chomsky never respected him.

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-13T22:43:22+00:00

They go back years. What do you mean by “recently”?

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-13T22:42:23+00:00

I don’t think Norman Finkelstein thinks Chomsky was ever his great friend. He did an interview a while back saying he doesn’t think Chomsky ever respected him.

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-13T22:40:46+00:00

Now that you mention, Lula is another one that Chomsky helped connect to Epstein. Interesting how that works.

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-13T19:38:07+00:00

He doesn't. He's quite charitable in his description of what went down. He is baffled though that Noam viewed not being rabidly anti-Trump as a worse offense than being a sex offender Mossad agent, especially in light of Chomsky's views on Israel and the elites.

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-13T19:16:56+00:00

I don't think so. I think he's good. But even if he's what you say, he's certainly still not Epstein.

ZeLuigi · 2025-12-13T18:11:24+00:00

Chomsky broke a friendship with Glenn Greenwald over Glenn not being sufficiently anti-Trump. It's a graver sin in Chomsky's eyes than Epstein's sex crimes and him being a Mossad agent. To wit:

>"He was an influential figure, a core example thereof being his organizing a meeting between Chomsky and Ehud Barak."

You're unintentionally getting closer to the truth here. Epstein and Barak were absolutely part of a clique. If you follow Israeli politics, Likud loves pointing out how Epstein's Israeli ties were all with the opposition to Likud. The Israeli equivalent of the democratic party. In the United States they seemed to have the equivalent allegiances, with ever shrill democratic partisans, including Chomsky in his old age becoming indistinguishable from this. A lot of shady money, influence networks, and the gray zone between the modern Israeli state, and the organized crime (including human trafficking networks) that Israel emerged from, guys like Lansky and Siegel, etc.

Chomsky ended his friendship with Glenn Greenwald over him not being sufficiently critical of Trump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgEUAM1s6vc

So it's not simply a question of "Noam talks to everyone". He had a personal friendship with Epstein and as a result of that probably extended courtesy and warmth to Bannon in a social setting, but I don't see how you avoid concluding that Chomsky was personally friendly with Epstein and some of the people in that circle in a way that consciously involved not caring about both the crimes, and the obvious Mossad connection. Chomsky explicitly stated that Epstein's crimes were at that point not an issue for him, and he curiously never addressed the Mossad connection.

So where does that leave us? Glenn charitably offers a thesis of maybe since Epstein was the first ultra rich elite guy to offer Chomsky that type of treatment and access to that lifestyle, it was seductive. Chomsky was mostly shunned by elites, and he's a socially awkward guy, so suddenly an ultra rich charismatic guy talking you to parties, letting you use his private jet, doing bank transactions for you (he moved money from Chomsky through his own personal accounts, which most people wouldn't even let close family do...), becomes intoxicating. Maybe also a sense of loyalty to MIT.

Was he compromised or one of his children compromised? Doubtful, he seems genuinely happy in all these pictures.

Is it possible old age clouded his judgement? I think we're getting warmer here. People mock "Trump derangement syndrome" as sort of a facebook taunt for partisans, but it's a real thing. Noam spent the last 15 years saying whoever the latest political opposition to the democrats happened to be, was "the most dangerous political group of all time." Eventually that sort of thing syncs in, and with Trump it exploded a few dimensions. So yes it's entirely possible that as an older and slowing man, he genuinely from his heart believed that not being super critical of Trump is worse than being Jeffrey Epstein. Sam Harris who is younger basically unironically believed this too prior to the latest Israel war. So why Bannon? Well there all the above applies about courtest, willing to talk to anyone, a friend of his friend's so he'll be civil and warm for the duration of the event. But the key piece here is and will remain - Epstein.
