Thanks for that, I don’t know why related sports use different words but ????????

I suspect it’s that the soundtrack has two versions of the song and it’s diluting the streams

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · 16d

Oh yeah I fully understand what you’re doing and why and agree. The ones I mentioned though are 100% on every station because they are part of the show itself (they’re even burned into the streaming platform versions!) and those ad dollars aren’t associated with Sinclair.

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · 16d

Since Jeopardy is syndicated this indicates no relationship with the network whatsoever

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · 16d

FYI the promotional considerations and closed captioning - anything Johnny is announcing - are ads within the show itself and someone working with Sony rather than your local station owner

The utilities section of autoalbums in the Photos app has one of QR codes you’ve photographed. It’s not quite what you’re asking for I think but it’s the closest thing I know offhand, and certainly built in.

If you’re here because you saw the repeat on TV today, here is the update on me: my hands are quite good now (feet are not there but better too), and the problem now is heat not cold, but overall recovery is very good. Just had my one year post treatment follow up and my scans and blood are clean.

Grogu isn’t placed on the same scale but is also prioritized very highly

Assuming we’re taking only characters who have last names, the one I have arrived at is from 1985

This video from Senator Padilla's staff, shared to Twitter by Fox LA's Elex Michaelson, shows Padilla forced to the ground by men wearing FBI uniforms who then handcuff him behind his back. This is after he is forcibly removed from the Noem press conference for asking a question.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

"We'll just terraform Mars," they insist, unable to terraform Earth, a planet that is already perfect except it's like 2° too warm.

I actually don’t think she regrets it, she did it for a reason

The only convictions he has are, well, you know

But I love understanding the scrolling marquee on the train just a few seconds early. Even better is rolling into Tokyo station, which I can read in KANJI

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · Mar 27

“What have you been doing in Tokyo?” “Riding trains”

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · Mar 26

These are both great but yes, spiders

I do not like heights, and this place was simultaneously glorious and incapacitatingly frightening

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · Mar 15

Oh, Kanazawa is THE place I want to go here that I haven’t been to yet. It wasn’t on the Shinkansen yet last time and I don’t really have the chance to do it this time.

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · Mar 15

Do you come back?

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · Mar 15

I am IN Tokyo 😅

TK Focht (John Focht) @tkfocht.bsky.social · Mar 15

For LL I am just resigned to getting the text messages at some point in the day to remind me while I’m in Tokyo
