Let’s get down to business.
Chinese and Japanese American doctor, working in Japan as a researcher. Ex-Mormon, dad, Star-Wars fan. Sometimes takes cool pictures. Can’t sing like Donny Osmond.
Think about how different the US government would be if leaders voluntarily stepped down when they made snide comments.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Snow in Kochi and Tokushima prefectures, Japan. These prefectures are in the southern island of Shikoku, known for its warm climate and famous for citrus. This level of snowfall, let alone any, is extremely rare. Not an easy shot from a rickety train window while moving! #Japan #四国 #snowfall

Such a common tactic by the LDS church when anything remotely “bad PR” comes up. This is not the first show they have come out with direct statements for.

The fact that the guy who tried to shoot Trump during the campaign and this guy were both active Trump *supporters* points to the very real possibility of continued violence by MAGA supporters who feel cheated or disappointed by their man.

And in this case, the Cybertruck hardly seems coincidental.

Growing up Asian American and Mormon was a huge double-whammy. I dealt with all sorts of racist stuff in the church while also dealing with being the weird kid at school for being Mormon. The two are two identities I never asked for that were always at odds with each other.

This week I am interpreting between some American visitors and Japanese co-workers. My co-workers asked me to translated “when needed.” The first half of day 1, they kept nodding their heads like they understood what was going on, and I was surprised at how much they seemed to get. 1/2
