A nice catch up on Wikipedia about the current ridiculous China crisis, where it is extremely upset at PM answering a question saying Japan would defend itself if China invades Taiwan and the Osaka Consul suggested decapitating the Japanese PM as a response en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...

This is flawless, I have no suggestions or comments.

This is Tokyo, and when we get any natural daylight (like two or three times in the last month) www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-pp...

Okay, I need to register a formal complaint. We put up with the icy winter, the windy allergic spring, and the insane swampy concrete sauna summer all for just one thing. Autumn. Sunny cool days and endless blue skies. Since when did Tokyo Autumn become dark gloomy Seattle Autumn?! Unacceptable!

Clearly the bears found out about that Japan lacks a constitutional right to bear arms and went on the offensive

Interesting news that Son sold a big chunk of his NVidia holdings. Odd explanation that it is to invest in AI - I'd think buying GPU shovels all AI companies use is a safer bet than gold mining yourself. SoftBank’s Nvidia sale rattles market, raises questions techcrunch.com/2025/11/11/s...
