RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

They are going to use live fire on protesters. Everyone needs to be prepared for this and what will happen after that.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

And I'd be remiss to mention that there was an actual pinball machine based on this open! Data East pinball released a Monday Night Football machine the next year. Aside from the lack of NFL branding it's a reasonably faithful recreation.

You might notice a disconnect in the ABC Sports logos. The bold lettering logo seen at the very start of the clip was introduced that year, but the older "bladed" ABC Sports logo persisted in opens for awhile. Once Hank came in the old logo was fully dropped.

In 1988, ABC Sports commissioned a unique "pinball" opening for Monday Night Football made largely with practical effects. A wonderful sequence, it only lasted one year as they started using Hank Williams Jr. the next year.

I literally JUST tried searching for an old post and forgot I changed my handle, what do you MEAN I didn’t have to do that the whole time

Big breakthrough over the weekend when I learned that I can search for posts "from:me" instead of typing "from:whatthelightcando.bsky.social" every time.

also - I intend to expand my video work to include general broadcast history. Not forgetting Fox Kids, of course, but there’s a hole amongst YouTubers for broadcast TV history that I’d like to fill.

I’d love to be an American BobTheFish, for example.

new handle on here. I wanted to get on a dot com because I’m moving off Bsky’s PDS at the earliest opportunity and this would make it easier.

Might change it back to foxkidsclub once I renew that dot com domain. We’ll see.

What do YOU want to know about Fox Kids’ on-air promotions, bumpers, and branding?

Might have a few opportunities coming up…
