@ambermac.bsky.social I think you mentioned a few weeks ago on your podcast, that you & Jeff had signed up for UpScrolled… and if i also signed up (which I did) to give you a follow… trouble is… I can’t find you there. Thanks for any clarification!

#167 I Recorded a Right-Wing Influencer Party at Poilievre's Convention Pierre Poilievre just cruised through his leadership review, but is the party really buying what he’s selling?

I spent 3 days at the Conservative Convention talking to MPs, staffers, delegates, AND the cowboy-hatted face of the Alberta separatist movement.

Somehow, I also ended up inside the biggest right-wing influencer party in Canada.

@lastwordmsnow.bsky.social (part 4) at a more reasonable price. I think you should have mentioned that angle. Trump is clearly nuts but that is more the idea as I understand it. Let me know if that’s wrong, thanks

@lastwordmsnow.bsky.social (part3) so that the drug companies will recover the money they’re losing by selling too cheaply to these socialist European countries …make it possible for them to recover that lost income from them …and that would allow these drug companies to sell to America (see part 4)

@lastwordmsnow.bsky.social (part 2) …is that Trump seems to think that the rest of the world is getting artificially low prices for their drugs - and so he’s gonna go around and try to correct that by arranging it with these other foreign countries to pay more (as crazy as that sounds),(see part 3)

@lastwordmsnow.bsky.social Lawrence, your piece on Donald Trump‘s hallucinatory conversation with the French president regarding drug prices: the idea as I understand it …and I don’t think you explained that to your audience …is that Trump seems to think that the rest of the world is (see part 2)

Wow, it’s been a few months since I last posted anything here. Continuing with the belated diary entries from 1969 I see that this day in 1969 was also a Thursday!

I don’t follow the statement. He got slightly nicked, so therefore it’s all fake ??!

Christmas Day 1996: took Kansui Maru passenger ferry on a “visa run” from japan to South Korea. This was to get/pickup a work visa so I could teach English for T.E.C. (Tokyo English Centre). I have heard that, before my time,Yoko Ono taught there.

Haven’t posted from 1969 diary lately. “Mikado” was a “coffee salon” near Seibu-Shinjuku Station . Tokyo Photo College is now Tokyo Polytechnic. “TEC” was Tokyo English Center. Albert Stamp was a manager there. “Dai Ichi” was the Dai Ichi Sagamiya rooming house in Shinjuku. Not enough room here …

Another same-day-in-1969 diary post. I wonder how “bad” that Shimbashi Chinese restaurant was?! In those days the Nikon Salon (ニコンサロン, “Nikon saron”)… all the camera manufacturers had salon/galleries… was above Matsuya Camera in Ginza. I think the US Forces USO was in the same building.

Another 1969 diary snapshot post. Was chumming around with Murray Sayle, the (late) London Sunday Times feature correspondent. Near the end of this diary entry I joined him at the FCCJ (Foreign Correspondent’s Club of Japan) for a bowl of their “1/2 cream oyster stee”… good stuff!!

Ron Snider’s Dec 2,  1969 Tokyo diary entry.

Ron Snider’s Dec 2, 1969 Tokyo diary entry.

I’m posting another phone-camera snapshot of my 1969 diary in Japan for this day (Nov 2). I started smoking cigarettes in Japan and note that it says “(5 cigs)” at the top. That would have been my consumption for that day. I think my brand was perhaps “Hope”…

My diary entry for November 30, 1969. I flew to Japan on February 10th of that year. This is my first post on Bluesky… so I thought i would post this day’s entry from way back then. I was 22 y.o.
