"Moonlit Sea" - woodblock print by Shōda Kōhō (1877-1924)
A fascinating Hello Kitty product: •Kitty-chan is dressed as Commodore Perry, the US Navy officer who used gunboat diplomacy to make Japan sign unequal treaties with the United States. •Japanese Navy Curry is an Anglo-Indian-influenced dish unrelated to Perry.

Supercut of "Shōgun" star Hiroyuki Sanada's many roles through the years!
Amazing lineup! Smith literally wrote the book on Shōgun & history ("Learning From Shōgun," 1980), Pitelka wrote a book on Tokugawa Ieyasu (model for Toranaga), Berry wrote a book on Ieyasu's predecessor Hideyoshi (the "Taikō"), and Hubbard wrote a book on English sailors c1600.

The Republican justices on the Supreme Court seem willing to rule that the President is entirely above the law and can even commit very serious crimes with immunity from prosecution. vox.com/scotus/2414030…

Otherwise good article is marred by bizarre error of saying BlackRock, Vanguard, & State Street own 88% of the S&P 500 (technically true), but then calling them "speculators" when in fact this "ownership" is just index funds these firms manage on behalf of individual investors.

What’s really fun is when you learn that this is how ALL people develop political opinions, not just college students. Political attitudes are more about in-group identity than reason and core values.
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
@nick_kapur It was in the 2010s but he was on a show called Helix that was pretty good
@nick_kapur Hiroyuki Sanada is a Japanese version of Jackie Chan! youtube.com/watch?v=KjgiD1…
A fascinating Hello Kitty product: •Kitty-chan is dressed as Commodore Perry, the US Navy officer who used gunboat diplomacy to make Japan sign unequal treaties with the United States. •Japanese Navy Curry is an Anglo-Indian-influenced dish unrelated to Perry.
I stopped at a rest stop in Yokosuka and look! Hello Kitty navy curry! I regret not buying this xD
I’m already feeling sick abt getting my student evals for the semester. even though the good comments far outweigh the bad, the cruelty of a few students always stuns me reminder: studies show that students’ implicit biases disproportionately impact marginalized faculty’s scores
@Waz41_ @nick_kapur LMAO you can't read menus even with N1 level Japanese. The Kanjis are nortorious. Conversational Japanese is much easier.
Preparations for tomorrow, welcoming all the neighboring farmers and together planting a small cherry tree. Hopefully the weather will hold. Beautiful day. Going to put the hydrangea in the ground as well as a peach tree I had been growing in Tokyo.
It is not lost on me that many of the professors I have had and many of the professors I admire hold jobs in tenure lines, departments, and centers created in the 1960s and 1970s as the result of student movements.
The Euro zone is now clearly winning the disinflation race. That should worry ECB policy makers. The Euro zone went into COVID with very different initial conditions than the US, i.e. big output gaps. The danger now is a return to the status quo ex ante of borderline deflation...
this is one of the most intense things i’ve seen in a while
Not only that. It is increasingly making the U.S. policy unpopular domestically. One factor that made things very much worse for Ukraine, was the massive fatigue and disappointment from Afghanistan & Iraq.
@kamilkazani Oh there’s no doubt that US policy in the Middle East, far from acting as a deterrent to China, is Xi’s wet dream - the US tying up its capacity far from China in a way that makes it unpopular amongst neutral states.
I don’t see why Putin or Xi would want it to end. For both, it’s a pure gain in every respect possible.
Your theory about how it’s really antisemitism/Russia/CCP/Qatar/? driving the protests is interesting but no really they just want the Gaza massacre to end.
My book is available for pre-order! You can now read the introduction on @PrincetonUPress press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove…
Living in Canada and having been to Japan many times, I would say that Japanese people are likely better off personally and financially remaining in Japan. If you are struggling in Tokyo, try a smaller city. I got Toronto-vibes in Sapporo, for example.
A Japanese person living in Canada has created this handy "Living in Canada FAQ" 😂😂😂 Here's my quick translation:
@Alice_comfy @nick_kapur I'm from Argentina, and believe me, every day I'm grateful for all the opportunities, Canada is a beautiful country with amazing people. I learned English here. I have lived here since 2009. I work and rise my children. it's better than where I came from, for sure.
