FINALLY!!! I was starting to have FOMO. And I love how it's as the end of the aisle for everyone to see. I'm starting to think that Calbee's has been using this for free publicity... Especially when it's strangely the only brand that has these sorts of issues. 🤔 #Japan #LifeinJapan #Calbee

I really appreciate this stance. Too many people try to use "but it's useful" as a counterargument to what we say, for example, in The AI Con. Useful for whom and at what cost (to the user and especially others) should always be the immediate follow up.

Someone from my household came up with this new @mu.social flavor. Should we start working on it? Hearts would be stars in this one of course.

Thank you @mu.social for this very useful feature. 🙂 @eurosky.social

Millennials are cute when they think they're unique and special and better than everyone else... Dear Millennials, nostalgia is not a generation thing, it's an age thing. You always love reminding the world that you're not kids anymore and than you're in your 40s... well... you're getting there.

For the first time in my life I'll be rooting for Spain in a football match. It's a strange feeling. At least I won't have to get up at 4 a.m. on Monday morning.

All right, time to go to bed. Nope, I'm not going to wake up at 4 a.m. (I didn't even do it last night) but I'm leaving you with this (ignore the super tacky video, and enjoy one of the best songs about football ever): youtu.be/Re4aDJL3heA?... #music #NewOrder #FIFAWorldCup #England

There are some rumors... Reliable rumors, but still rumors... that Adam Driver has been cast as the main villain in the #MCU #XMen reboot. Do we agree that he'd be an awesome Magneto? (but I also suspect that the first X-Men will have another villain instead. Sinister? He'd be a great Sinister too.

Bonne fête du 14 Juillet !

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

Une critique documentée du «non-alignement» cher à Mélenchon, qui affirme le principe néocolonial et chauvin de France «puissance universelle», manie le concept essentialiste de «supériorité politique de la latinité» et confirme son campisme pro-russe et pro-chinois. www.mediapart.fr/journal/poli...

Today I redid my homepage. I didn't think it'd last for most of the day. I don't know if it's my site or WordPress, but the editor has become insanely sluggish, everything took hours. I didn't even make major changes. Oh well. What do you think? davidbilla.online

Y'all know that Japanese people refer to ALL things animated as "anime," right? My son calls SpongeBob "anime." Ben 10? That's anime. If he ever watched King of the Hill it would be an "anime" to him. Because that's what the word means in Japan. And it can for you. Don't let the prescriptivists win!

Read that again slowly. The ICC is posing "an intolerable threat to US sovereignty." This fills me with rage and wish the collapse of that failed terrorist country as soon as possible.
