What is the story about?

Here’s your open thread for Monday.

Also, we got an app!

MMA ADJACENT

The Kyushu basho started on Sunday. That means I’ll be sharing sumo vids for the next two weeks. These are from last night (day two).

Here’s the 74th yokozuna Hoshoryu (right) taking on Asanoyama. Hoshoryu is fighting despite coming off knee surgery (that’s sumo for you). He’s been pressured to compete in this tournament and needs some good results to get everyone off his back.

And here is Aonishiki (left) taking on Yoshinofuji. If Aonishiki wins

this tournament he’ll become the 76th yokozuna and first European born wrestler to ever achieve that rank.

Day one highlights (in English) are here. NHK World on YouTube is where you can get every top division match (albeit on a 24 hour delay). Check out my blog Sumo Stomp! if you want to really go down the sumo rabbit hole.

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC

The YouTube series I watch are far too niche to be worth sharing (a lot of Warhammer, English football and Drag Race content). I use YouTube mostly for music, though.

Hot Ones is still alright. Here’s Willem Dafoe.
