With sadness, switched my MLB app back to the Houston Astros as my favorite team and their logo as its icon on my phone.📱…it was fun being a temporary Blue Jays fan.

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

This is Ronald Reagan's full speech that Trump & his allies objected to. It's still a rebuke to Trump and stands as a stark contrast, showing what real Presidential leadership looks like. Thank you Government of Ontario for this blast from the past.

I loved this show growing up; I eventually bought the ADV Films box set where they did a proper English (re)dub that mirrored the original Japanese story, but I still haven't finished it.

April 26, 1942: The Reichstag holds its last session, unanimously passing a decree making the Führer "Supreme Judge of the German People." Any last privileges of the parliament were removed as Hitler became final decision-maker in all matters, including life and death over every German citizen.

I have to admit, this is really clever. Spotted on my FB timeline.

Caption reads "Sometimes I respond to unsolicited dick pics with a panel of female judges" and includes a censored text exchange including emojis of different women's faces making hand gestures and displaying numbers over their heads like Olympic Judges.

I've been a hardcore anime fan since around 2004, but yes, grew up with Speed Racer & Star Blazers.

Clever advertising by the Government of Ontario 🍁decrying (US) tariffs by quoting Ronald Reagan at length, aired during #ALCS Game 7 in Toronto. I liked it. Well played, Canada.

Me on Trump pardoning disgraced former congressman George Santos:

"It's completely nuts, but he's completely nuts — and so is Santos, maybe that's the thing that joins them all together... Trump finds a fraudster appealing."

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally

Donald Trump announces he has commuted George Santos’ sentence in his federal fraud case:

“at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! […] I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!”

Like, how many new people did they discourage from buying tickets because of their janky website this year? You have to proactively seek out the Guidebook app listing to download it and see what's up...guests, schedule of events, etc. Feels very lazy and uncoordinated.

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt @genxotaku1971.bsky.social · 24d

Can confirm nearly all their usual guests have returned including Jp musical guest Kazha who is giving 2 live concerts Fri/Sat just like last year. 2 AMV showcases, Sat/Sun. So pretty full schedule. But the website NOT updated or pointing to this content at ALL. CRAZY!
