Big nerd.
“Shikata ga nai” got me HOLLERING
The only immigration reality TV show I’d watch is if you take all the authors of those “Japanese wisdom” books, have them live together in a Saitama share house and watch them adjust to their new entry level jobs at large Japanese corporations in Tokyo.

Oh no, terrible news. Overseas tourists are trying to leave tips, so more Japanese businesses have started accepting them, with some setting up tip boxes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJvT...

If you ever find yourself being tempted to use a phrase something along the lines of “drink the Kool-Aid,” you should brace yourself for visits from a throng of Flavor-Ade truther sea-lions.

“The Bends” was just Radiohead releasing an entire album full of catchy singles so they could get that out of the way and get on with doing whatever they wanted, wasn’t it?

It is absolutely hilarious to see the makers of wholesale plagiarism engines whining about imagined plagiarism.

It's too bad that Netflix is run by actual Philistines, because season 2 of KAOS would have been amazing. I was really looking forward to seeing the Trojan War!

Whoopsie, the Christmas card I tried to send to @amyrhodabrown.ca bounced back at me, with a note saying the Canadian posties are still on strike.

Good luck to the employees of Canada Post! I hope you get everything resolved quickly.

It really seems like people generally think that there's a bunch of Crime Immigrants (the bad ones) and the Government knows who they are and where they live but aren't allowed to do anything about it because of Woke.

Well at least I can say with confidence that BlueSky and Threads do have one major thing in common: fucking dismal iPad support.
