American Thanksgiving dinner in rural Japan with roast turkey, oranges, bananas, kimchi, guacamole, and udon soup. The thing about American culture is it belongs to anyone who accepts it (like Christianity, another concept exclusionary freaks get so deeply wrong). Love it or leave it, motherfuckers
Dining room table laden with Thanksgiving dinner about to be devoured by my Japanese, Thai, and American family. There is a Christmas tree in the corner which in truth does somewhat enrage me, culturewise, but this is a lost battle in our home in Japan, where Christmas season starts promptly on November 1.

The asymmetry: Trump’s concrete, unfulfilled promise to build a wall is held against him by neither the press nor his supporters; Dems are universally evaluated by how much they have managed to end political strife
“In 2019, Mr. Trump ultimately caved in what was previously the longest government shutdown fight without getting $5.7 billion for a border wall he had insisted upon.” New York Times

Evil is REPELLED IN THE PRESENCE

We live with spiders that are so big they make noise when they run across the room. They’re intimidating but harmless and I now realize they are just as unhappy to encounter us as we are, but the first time I saw one I simply started packing my bags to move away permanently
Absolutely immense ashidaka-gumo huntsman spider, thankfully on the other side of a glass sliding door, photographed with the reflection of the room behind me visible and creating the illusion that the spider is even more gigantic. It’s about the size of a grown man’s hand and its long legs look somehow muscular from the underside and it takes an exertion of will to remind yourself, when you inevitably run into one of these things in the shower or closet or wherever they were trying to avoid you, that these spiders are squarely on your side against most of the other hideous bugs up here.

From John Ganz @lioneltrolling.bsky.social. It occurs to me that this is “they hate us for our freedoms” a quarter-century later. MAGA wants to bring NYC to heel because the city is the embodiment of the American ideals that MAGA rejects
Humanity has accomplished something truly incredible and almost utopian in New York: millions of very different types of people living peaceably—and sometimes even amicably—side by side. That’s every bit as real as the death and destruction halfway around the world. For me, New York is the living counterpoint to all that suffering and hate. It’s worth protecting and building upon. In fact, it’s the most important thing: New York City is, in my humble opinion, the greatest accomplishment in the history of human civilization.

When awful politicians die, there is a tendency to whitewash their records and to withhold criticism. That is frequently a mistake. Cheney escaped accountability in life. He never paid any price for the destruction he caused and the lives that his policies ruined and ended. The very least we can do now is to remember what he did and to tell the truth about it. The evil that men do live after them, and Cheney did a great many evil things. We will unfortunately be living with the consequences of Cheney’s crimes for a long time to come.

I am starting to wear out my portrait of Jonathan Edwards and I suspect the “Pope Leo of Chicago gripping a baseball bat” photo is increasingly going to come in handy

Funny you should ask
“describe a shape with 90 vertices and 152 faces that they’ve named the Noperthedron (opens a new tab) (after “Nopert,” a coinage by Murphy that combines “Rupert” and “nope”). Steininger and Yurkevich proved that no matter how you bore a straight tunnel through a Noperthedron, a second Noperthedron cannot fit through.”

The pricing strategy at this nearly abandoned furniture retailer is fascinating. “Clearance Sale! All Unsellable Items 10% Off!”
Japanese price tag showing a minimal discount on a floor-model rug, which has been wrapped in plastic and perfunctorily displayed on a dim shelf in a place where no one will see it, at a price that will attract no one.

There might be an evolutionary aspect to the ridiculous haircuts and outfits of Trump, Boris Johnson, Argentina’s Milei, Sanseitō’s Kamiya et al, like a peacock’s tail, they signal a difficult-to-fake authenticity, making at least 35% of the electorate say That Guy Tells It Like It Is
Argentinian president Javier Milei, sporting a moptop haircut with prominent muttonchop sideburns Sōhei Kamiya, founder and leader of Japan’s far-right party Sanseitō. He has a childlike spiky haircut and is wearing an ill-fitting three-piece suit with a hideous orange and white striped tie.

I love Microsoft Teams because it’s fun to google “why the fuck isn’t my screen sharing please my fuckin job is on the line here goddammit” during a meeting
Microsoft Teams Help page cheerily describing how to share your screen, neglecting to specify a crucial step: “Try it! In Microsoft Teams, you can show your desktop, a specific app, a whiteboard, or a presentation in a meeting. 1. In your meeting controls, select Share Lt. 2. Turn on the Include sound toggle to share your computer audio. 3. Select what you want to share: • Screen lets you show everything on your screen. (Scrawled note: “BUT there is a poorly described yet required additional step:” with an arrow point to Step 4 below) • Window lets you share an open window on your screen, like a browser page. • PowerPoint Live lets you share a PowerPoint presentation. Microsoft Whiteboard lets you share a collaborative whiteboard. 4. After you select what you want to show, a red border surrounds what you're sharing. (Scrawled note highlights “select” here and adds “(by which we do NOT mean “Select Screen/Window/Powerpoint etc.” but rather the separate action of dragging the cursor over your interface; otherwise no one will see shit and there will be no indication that nothing is being shared)” 5. Select Stop sharing to stop showing your screen.
