それもあるかもしれないですけど、2026/2/14が土曜日で多くの人が出勤日ではないので社交や接待のために購入するケースが少ないからでは。。。
近所のスーパーが、今年はバレンタインデーのディスプレイにどうも力が入っていないのは、チョコが高いからか、「バレンタインデー」が終わりかけているのか

Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.
NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.
ICE and CBP’s Face-Recognition App Can’t Actually Verify Who People Are
ICE has used Mobile Fortify to identify immigrants and citizens alike over 100,000 times, by one estimate. It wasn't built to work like that—and only got approved after DHS abandoned its own privacy r...

“Lorin Stein, the disgraced former editor of The Paris Review who resigned after accusations of sexual impropriety, forwarded to Wolff an email from the writer Stephen Elliott, who intended to sue the list’s creator… Epstein promises to ‘help anyway i can.’”
How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo
The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability.

Kids "learn that calling 911 is dangerous. They learn that police are not there to protect them. They learn that even citizenship does not guarantee safety when your family is undocumented. And they learn, most devastatingly, that they are disposable."
Last week: "A call for help triggered a chain of events that ended with the deportation of a mother and her U.S. citizen child. This is not public safety. This is a system that punishes families for seeking help."
When Local Police Collaborate with ICE, Children Pay the Price
I know exactly what message the recent deportation of an Austin mom and her 5-year-old sends to kids. They learn that calling 911 is dangerous.

おそらく実質的な「戦争」を「戦争」とあえて言わないことで抑制されたり生き延びられるものもあるとは思うけれども、そういう誤魔化しは個人が構造的に「戦争」を含めた不公正に参加していることに気づいていない怠慢や保身の口実になるだけのようにも思う。

やりたいことは「戦争」でも「内紛」でもないと言うはずで、今から起こるのは「デモ」や「抗議」ですらなく、「騒ぎ」か「乱闘」か「取締り強化」か「反発」か「一時騒然とした雰囲気に」なるか。それに「毅然とした態度で臨」むPRに励まれる舞台。外交にしろ内政にしろ仕掛けているものが何なのかの認識の方も政権内部は薄そう。
あと経済界？を評価してる人がいるっぽいけど、資本は自分たちの利益を確保するだけだ。普遍的人権とかまあないから。本当に利益最大化と世界征服を考えていたら()資本が守ろうとするのは自分にだけ都合のいい理屈の通る仕組みであって「国」ではない。それが邪魔なら潰すだけ。全体に楽観がすぎる。。。

“But behind the ostentatious displays of ‘we failed to listen’ was also a profound narcissism: if only we acted (or at least talked) differently, all would be well. Only liberals, or so the assumption goes again, have agency; performing contrition reinforced that flattering image.”

Sounds like reactionary centrism to me
When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.
It was a "sideshow," I was told.

日本語圏の少なくとも一部に、“Happy Halloween” のようなフレーズに出てくる「happy」を命令文の動詞扱いして(？！)、一枚岩の〈ハッピー気分〉の強制と受けとめる解釈があると思うけど、なんていうか語学苦手っていう話ではなく実質有害で言葉の力を削ぐ理解だと思ってる。
こういうのは願いだし祈りだし。祈ることしかできないときの言葉をそんなにかんたんに手持ちの文脈に簒奪させないでほしいよ。。

きょうふだん通らない道を歩いていたら車道脇の畑に賛政党のポスターが2種類、通行する車から見やすいように突き刺さっていた。どちらも白地で、一つは党首の人の写真と赤丸、もう一つは「I am Japan」の文字と赤丸。そんなに「日本」に自己同一化したいのに、添えることばは英語。
前からある旧植民地からとことんむしりとる高度成長期を懐かしむのも帝国主義丸出しの明治維新のロマン化もなくなってはいないが、いまは過去を懐かしむより、〈時間よ止まれ〉的な感覚が強いのかも。いまの〈自己〉を好きでいたい欲望を肯定されたい空気。
ミクロで10代の人と話しているとよく思うことだけど周囲の大人もまあそう。
