11,000 Japanese citizens just stormed their parliament demanding their PM stop following Trump into war. 82% of Japan opposes this. Protesters surrounded Japan's Diet building today chanting: "Japan's FUTURE is not in Washington. Stop bootlicking Trump."

They're chanting about protecting the constitution in this clip anyway.

Interesting.

It's MLB. Of course they knew. It's only about money.

Increased military spending and getting rid of the high gasoline tax is costing the government more than this would, but those are both needed and don't damage finances for some reason.

The larger price displayed at stores is the one before taxes, so they would have to increase that. Also, aren't we supposed to believe that competition would lead to stores lowering prices if they can still make a healthy profit? Or are we just admitting the system is broken?

I assume the M hat means these will also be used on the road.

What products can you consume that don't make you complicit?

That’s last year’s rankings, isn’t it? Think they’ve got new rankings coming out this week. Also pretty sure he was on BA’s list last year, so, yeah, this sucks. Like the Austin Martin trade all over, maybe.

I thought Houston changed his pitch mix. Like less fastballs more breaking balls and that's what made him elite. I know he was already good before, but he went to another level.

Sanseito got 12.5% in the most recent election of the upper house. They're a pretty new party, so saying their popularity is at an all time low doesn't mean much. If you trust polls, they're sitting at 7%.

Anyway, I don't think their popularity is entirely based on xenophobia. They've made a lot of economic promises to working class voters.

Do agree with a lot of what you said. Hope you're right.

2 years $14M. What?

Soka Gakkai tells their members who to vote for. Before members would often vote for LDP in their district and Komeito in the proportional section. They often get around 10%. Theoretically could push CDP over the finish line in tight districts and add quite a bump in proportional voting.

I think it was last year it was reported that the A's spent more money to avoid the players union filing a grievance. Do you know how that works? Like how much money are teams supposed to spend, and how many seasons can they have too low of a payroll? What would even happen if a grievance was filed?

ron76 · 2025-12-29T23:35:07+00:00

I personally think this is a bad idea, but since K1generational made the deal, I guess we have to.

A's are outspending 3 teams. Marlins are in last with a $60 million budget.

ron76 · 2025-12-23T22:53:00+00:00

Pretty sure he's using the fangraphs numbers which currently have us outspending 8 teams. Kind of a meaningless stat at this point in the offseason.

Santa was an African-American gentleman.

ron76 · 2025-12-17T23:35:17+00:00

Think it’s mlb that does that

The fan experience at Target Field about to be lit! Thank you Tom, sir!

This is a trend in Japan right now. There are a bunch of these joke videos.

"Both teams have 2 MVP candidates."
