I see people call Takaichi “Japan’s Trump” a lot but she’s more of a Biden/Harris chimera.
Japan’s trump is Sohei Kamiya, head of the Sanseito party. He regularly uses racial slurs in stump speeches.
Takaichi is the more genteel demon

I need to learn a third language because things are looking bad out here
It’s only Wednesday and the Takaichi administration has
-revised the constitution (unilaterally)
-decided to sell weapons
-“suggested” that Princess Aiko should take a vow of celibacy if she wants to ascend the throne
Need a job😔
They're saying it's the most unbiased poll question ever. echeloninsights.com/insights/apr...
Real rap, it’s running that way😔
The funniest thing to me about the hysteria over Hasan Piker, who I only recently found out about thanks to that, is that a lot of these people are fans of a debate bro streamer with a sexual assault rap sheet spanning nearly 2 decades
And aside from financial concerns, Japanese society has also become much more openly misogynistic, and more hostile to both kids and young mothers.

The Japanese government has been cutting the budgets on social safety net programs including child allowances for years, while the value of the yen has plummeted and costs of both materials and finished goods have risen. Salaries? Lmao
No fucking wonder people aren’t having kids!
“Despite 1.2 billions[sic] spent on incentives”
Incentives like babysitter vouchers and cash payments to young women willing to relocate to rural areas (thankfully withdrawn after backlash)
I hate nerds who know jack shit about Japan and use it to fuel their delusions
They not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists.
Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth are sitting at CBS’ table.
FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.
Misery is following me to the UK and Europe...

Schumer throwing Stevens out as a spoiler, poor creature
A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.
Since this post is aggregating my Bloomberg column, I kinda feel the need to clarify that the Imagine Dragons game is not "live-service" (designed for recurring monetization). It's a $15 multiplayer shooter with no microtransactions.
Here's the original article: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Nominally independent media institutions celebrating press freedom by serving canapés to president fake news is some bleak, black comedy but the venue is chef’s kiss

Honestly “unc” being out there is already too much

Former Syracuse basketball player to be deported after more than a month in ICE custody
26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball.
Now being discarded as if he was human refuse.
Shame on Syracuse for not intervening.
