FYI, I unfollowed everyone except a few general media accounts. I'm only on X for news. I still get notifications for DMs and messages.
Friends, please follow me on FB or IG if we're not already linked, as I'm on those platforms regularly.
The cruelty on here...wow. The use of AI and memes taking the place of people's sincere words and thoughts... The disrespect, the personal attacks, the elitism and conceit... I'm okay with having faded into the background and now finding that exit door.
Women, come to poker and create content! But don't weigh in on any issues (just play poker), don't look at the camera (thirst trap), don't show any skin (view chaser), don't try anything new (weak), don't play bad (fish), don't complain when men harass you (you know you like it).

I haven’t had time to fully dig into all this.
But I’ll say this. Pointing out some piece of content from the past does not change the issues with the video posted in the present.
Ideally we would all use this opportunity to learn, grow, and make changes for the future for the better.
And sometimes it takes the worst form of something for us to realize how damaging something is.
To me, the Club WPT Gold post was completely disgusting and inappropriate, any woman or man has a right to be offended by it.
It is border line impossible these days to be constructively critical of anything in a way that those it’s being directed at will listen to. Getting defensive and attacking someone is the popular retort these days.
But that doesn’t mean we should stop talking about them.
I also think it’s tough for anyone to be an ambassador of anything in poker right now. Sponsorships keep a lot of people afloat in this industry and put food on the table, but what organization in poker has funds for sponsorships and a spotless record? None do. So giving time to process and grace to those who are signed by a brand who puts their foot in their mouth is equally as important. It’s never as simple as blasting your sponsors even if it ultimately becomes the right thing to do.
I have the utmost respect for Jamie, Nikki, and Abby. I am hoping there are far more productive conversations happening behind the scenes about this right now that aren’t showing up on social media.
More people chimed in to criticize @abbypoker_ than to discuss @RobGardnerLive's post about the state of the industry. And FAR more criticized Abby than the ClubWPT Gold post. *sigh*

Abby is a fresh face with fresh content in poker, always trying new things with humor & open eyes & willingness to learn. She posts a strong opinion, tho, & she gets wildly attacked, far more so than the original ClubWPT Gold company post. 🤦♀️
another unbelievably disappointing post from clubwpt gold. part of having a platform is knowing how to use it. what could possibly have been the point of this except for to get clicks by demeaning women?? “gto players took this from us” as if this is what you WANT TO SEE WOMEN REDUCED TO??? sex symbols in the industry? lame as f. do better. @ClubWPTGold @WPT
ALL OF THIS. Kudos to Rob for having the courage to speak on it and back up his words. The majority of this industry is trending toward AI-driven content, quick clicks, and ugly memes. It's been so discouraging to watch the decline.
What is happening to this brand? The trajectory just makes me sad.

This guy wants to let people starve to make his point, to prove his power, and SCOTUS just said, "Okay, sure." This is where we are now. This is who we are.

Trump's version of the American way - utterly cruel
ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"
Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.
Mother is detained by agents as the original target of arrest during the traffic stop—according to witnesses.
"They kept saying we're going to put your kid in state custody if you don’t comply... so in the end she decided for the safety of my kid I'm just gonna go."
"I was crying on and off every time I got an angle where I saw the kid. I started crying more because the baby was so confused."
The incident occurred in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. #DemsUnited
