Guy turning to his date: "We can't leave now. We're getting double the baseball we paid for."

Fixed it for you 😇

@davidjroth.bsky.social I only listened to the Distraction today after Game 2 and didn't watch the ALCS but I immediately realized that the guy with the probable gambling dig at Shohei t-shirt was the butt plug shirt guy you mentioned.

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution

Portland ICE facility now.

Just an fyi but this is what people are missing by not being on the bird place post-LDP election:

BREAKING: Sanae Takaichi has been elected leader of the LDP, and is set to become Japan’s first female prime minister.

It's Takaichi. 185 - 156.

Results of the LDP presidency run-off are coming soon.

While we wait for the count in the runoff, I ran through the numbers quickly here: open.substack.com/pub/observin...

Shinjiro Koizumi writes "Me!" on his ballot, invalidating it and he loses by one vote.

Takaichi and Koizumi are going into a runoff round. Takaichi received the most votes in the first round of voting and Koizumi the second highest.

Takaichi vs Koizumi in a run-off.

Oh. Well, if you say so Amazon Prime.

Anyway, the weirdest part is that the festival is thrown by a Christian gun cult.

Homan also said newspapers who wanted to write “hit pieces” on him could “have at it.”

In October at the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival, Tom Homan went on a very bizarre first person rant about how he wasn't being paid by the Trump campaign, and only worked "in interest" of the campaign.

Five years ago I went undercover and met a bunch of guys who love Hitler at Turning Point USA.

It is my understanding that she is currently not working as a police officer. I might be wrong, but I would guess that her time as an airport cop did not involve a lot of homicide investigations that required her to analyze the trajectory of bullets. [3/3]

In a YouTube live stream she showed a video clip on her phone and argued that a person standing behind Charlie Kirk was the shooter. The stream received over 279K views. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNZ-... [2/3]

Japanese YouTuber Nagata Yuri is spreading conspiracy theories about the death of Charlie Kirk. She became a famous as "the first Japanese woman to become an Los Angeles police officer" (she was an airport cop at LAX) & makes videos introducing the "truth" about world politics. [1/3]

Charlie Kirk, who was almost unknown in Japan over a week ago, is being incorporated into Abe Shinzo assassination conspiracy theories.

Can we just fastforward to the iHeart tru-crime podcast about this already?

Does anyone have that ten hour long Yub Nub just in case?

Ube Wplace update: Ecoha is now there right next to Pikachu (a suit version of Ecoha basically looked like a green Pikachu and made national news) More Eva and YOASOBI. Someone even added the track listing for the three albums.

Update: More Eva references and the person finished the Ant Castle. There is also a Uniqlo mark. Probably to mark the store but also maybe a reference to how the Yanai family is originally from Ube.

Took a look at Ube on Wplace. Things you see: Several Evangelion references, including "Thank you Hideaki Anno," and a Spear of Longinus where it would be in Tokiwa Park. There is also an outline of the Ant Castle sculpture in Tokiwa Park and an unfinished YOASOBI

It’s very funny to me that this image I made as a shirt design 2 years ago sort of became a meme that gets reposted around but nobody ever removed the url that’s in it, an actual url that I own, and it’s just taken as part of the design.

Do you want to harness the full power of AI? These "harness the full power of AI" ads from random bluecheck X accounts definitely won't help you, in more ways than one.

Doesn't matter if you didn't watch the other episodes. Go watch episode 5 of City.

My dear friend @808towns.bsky.social sent me a template and challenged me to make this, so don’t look at me as if I had a choice 😇

Hawaii also on tsunami warning: www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/07/29/t...

Japan’s Sanseito is a far-right political group that’s pretty much anti-everything — immigrants most of all. They won 15 seats in the parliamentary elections yesterday. And boy, do they want to regulate Japan’s pop culture: blog.pureinventionbook.com/p/pop-and-po...

The other day, I was telling friends and family how a housewife originated these Tokyo Metro transfer and exit guides, and they thought I was kidding. It used to be a well-known story. If you don't know it, here's a quick summary.

In the Shaw Brother's movie Young People (1972, available on their Youtube channel), there is a basketball game where Ti Lung is an absolute scoring machine. On screen, we see him score 58 points (give or take) but the total is probably even higher. The final score is 122 - 118 but..

Whew. Er, I mean, I wasn't worried. Were you worried?

So who's staying up until 4:18 AM just in case?

Jim Shooter, a comic book writer, editor and publisher known for his stint as EIC of Marvel Comics, has died at age 73.

Here is the full list of titles from the Shout Factory purchase of the Golden Princess library.

If you see this, quote this post with a movie sequel that really hits.

Aaron Wolf, the judoka who won an Olympic gold for Japan at the Tokyo Olympics, has decided to switch to professional wrestling. He announced last year he would retire from judo in June, and this is the first time he has revealed his new career direction. www.47news.jp/12760561.html

I just want to know how there's always a shaman involved.

Oh hey there Elon's mom doing a talk show with World Mate's Haruhisa Handa (aka Toshu Fukami).

Damn people waiting in line for the damn Burger King in Kokura. Damn.

My song The Cure was listened to 64 times on Youtube music since release yesterday. That might not sound a lot but it's absolutely crazy numbers for me. Almost every other song is on 5-10 listens. NICE. You should listen too, it's good. music.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUNX...
