But whether it's a handshake with Vlad Jr. or Myles Straw trying to speak a little Japanese Kazuma Okamoto's Blue Jays teammates are welcoming him. "Just to get a smile out of him is a good feeling." www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...
I'd certainly sound just as awkward in a second language.

If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.
If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.
Agree - long overdue.

I mean yeah, if It Happens during the speech there'd be a lot of positive social media response.

That does not give me confidence they'll release a Gen 10 game for Switch 2 that will run well. Thinking they'll be out over their skis again.

"The Jews created pornography to undermine the family" is quite literally the fourteenth of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Not great to see left-wing accounts with 700,000 followers saying this sort of thing.

Dr. Pez did the best cover of the battle music. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeid...
22.02.2026 16:42 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0A fake screenshot of a battle introduction from Pokemon Trading Card Game on the Game Boy Color. A custom pixel portrait from @Izzi8Bit.bsky.social of me (!) overlaps the regular opponent portait, and the text has been replaced with "Some Schmucko: Gabe, Annoyance Deck." Fun story for the alt text: I actually played an annoyance deck in Pokemon League at Sci-Fi World in Thornhill back when there were only three expansions. Stuff like Aerodactyl to stop evolutions, Muk to stop Pokemon Powers, Gust of Wind and Energy Removal to mess with the opposition.
If you can't hear the #Pokemon TCG battle music, we can't be friends. Icon courtesy of @izzi8bit.bsky.social from her fundraiser for @xenosupial.bsky.social .

I thought about it, but I settled on trying to give up the act of "sharing things people said online that piss me off if the only reason I'm sharing it is because the thing they said pissed me off"
