I saw Ura do one of his body drops in person! And I had a good view of his warm up meditation. (Also the rest of the event was very good).

The worst train disruption I've ever seen (excluding snow). Fortunately my manager let me leave work early so I won't be late to dinner before the sumo.

How thorough are the bag checks at RAH? I'll need snacks while watching the sumo.

Wishing everyone who is fasting a good fast, and the rest of us a good sneaking out for lunch during the additional service.

About 14% of the UK population voted for Labour at the last general election. I know this includes children and adults not eligible to vote, but they're still suffering along with the rest of us.
It’s why I don’t like the lib “you voted for this!!!” pant shitting - consistently we are ruled by governments which have been put there by about 3/4 out of 10 voters - it’s institutional minoritarian rule
The problem with calling this is a "threat to democracy" is that this *is* democracy. A central problem with majoritarian representative democracy that no one ever wants to admit is that a plurality of people can vote to just do some truly heinous shit to minoritised groups, and that's democratic.

One of the (many) good things about sumo is it gives us an excuse to focus on something enjoyable for 90 days a year.
I’m going to move on to preparing this to become mostly a sumo account for the next two weeks since the basho is about to start and honestly I really, like everyone am justifiably stressed about the overall temperature of everything & I want to mostly be a joy to engage with online, not a drag.

Inspired by this post I made chili the same way last night and it was delicious. I used the dried chillies I already had from the Vietnamese shop, which are probably less suitable but still tasty.
Making some chili for dinner. Starting with dried chillies: Kashmiri, de arbol, ancho grande and guajillo. Chop the stalks off, get most of the seeds out, simmer them and some garlic cloves for 15 minutes in stock, and then blend them up

Sad, even shocking, news for those who follow the lower divisions: the very popular gyoji, Shikimori Kazenosuke, is no longer on the JSA's employees list. The circumstances are as yet unclear.

I couldn't gasp hard enough so had to immediately do a second, smaller gasp to make up for it.

Looks like it's broken. There's no way that's the actual list of tournament leaders.
It's taken me 2 years but I've finally found the Tournament Leaders page on the Japan Sumo Association website. I can never remember who's in the lead because Ura is leading the tournament for my heart.

Tamawashi is 40 years old and currently in contention to win the top division. For reference, the oldest rider in the Tour De France is Geraint Thomas, who is only 39.
Day11
With Tamawashi’s defeat of Ōnosato yesterday, he becomes the oldest rikishi in the modern era, and the only one over forty to earn a kinboshi. Number 2 is Ōshio who I know of as a fan of sumo history. Number 3 looks like it reads Kitanonada; doesn’t ring a bell, no time to look him up.
