A reminder that I am still looking for work. In Tokyo or remote and very much open to new roles.

Went to Todai Hongo campus for the first time in years. Kind of weird how the area around it doesn’t really seem to change.

It's easy to be concerned about vaccines when you stop being concerned about viruses. You can only stop being concerned about viruses in a world with vaccines.

Ok. The world’s terrifying and I have very little control. I’m off to make my silly little bits of art and try to at least make MY BIT better and share that as far as I can…

So far I think Croatia’s entry is my favourite entry this year. Still plenty more countries to select their songs.

Hated it until the proper beat came in and then it went crap again. Maybe it’ll grow on me.

If someone came knocking on my door asking if I support boycotting Israel, I’d demand their name and address. If I’m going on a list it’s only fair that they’re going on a list.

So far nothing on the BBC site. Possibly they don’t want to show up their ‘BBC Verify’ and how the BBC has been running stories basically from the hospital.

And these Nazis weren’t killed for the reasons you imply. Food was the least of it.

Educate yourself about the Holocaust and stop using it as your yardstick. Nothing happening in the US is on that industrial scale of terror, torture, and mass murder.

I can tell this is a fancy hotel though because usually I’m more concerned that the kettle has been used for drugs.

Outside of Jewish and pro-Israel circles I doubt this news (and that about OxfamGB in the second half) will get much exposure.
