The list of things that are worse for your mental health than hours of doom scrolling is very short. (Days of doom scrolling, weeks of doom scrolling, etc.)

I hit up the Daikaiju Salon outside Nakano Broadway today. As always, they're totally unprepared to serve customers, but very excited to have them. Hope you're also having a great time in Tokyo.

If I could pick anywhere in the world to live (and I could put up with the heat) then Fukuoka would be very high on my list of choices.

During that college trip, a couple of my classmates went to the bank to exchange money, and when they had problems, an old lady stayed with them for 20 minutes to help them exchange their money, then drove them back to campus so they wouldn't be late for class.

I was in the Hakata JR station tonight, waiting for my wife to finish using the restroom, and a Japanese person approached me and asked me in English if I needed help with anything. I wasn't even looking confused or asking for help, they just came up to me. I've never had that happen anywhere else.

This thing is really cool, but it's also unbearably funny to see it flop around.

We are living in a fascist state, you just sold out your constituents and fell in line for no reason other than making your donors happy, and you still have the gall to come here and say this? Understand that we'll have to live with the fallout of your cowardice long after you're dead.

Made it to the famous downhill.

Not the best bento I've ever had, but still very good!

It is! I've been flying on planes and eating snacks and bad food a lot lately, so this is the best meal I've had in a couple of days.
