Today I discovered I would rather scorch the earth than let a typo stand...

I never thought of myself as a person who has strong feelings about highlighter pens, but here we are. It has a little plastic window so you can see what you're highlighting, and lets you prevent over highlighting.

The Muppets with Big Naturals Take Manhattan. Hannah with Big Naturals and Her Sisters.

If you had tomato flavor English muffins (20% discount no less), what would you do? Muffin pizzas seemed like a no brainer to me.

Her name was (checks notes)... Good. C'mon guys, how big a hint do you need?

Umaibo (literally "tasty stick") puffed corn snacks. These have characters from GeGeGe no Kitaro on them. First day back at work from winter break, found these on my desk.

This may be TMI, but I have been working hard to reshape my body, and finally my ass is narrower than a Japanese apartment bathtub. I can take a soak without risking a "President Taft" mishap. I still need a plastic shower stool in there, because my knees don't fold up, but I am working on that too

Forgot to post this morning's sunrise. Hello 2026, try not to suck.

I spent two days deep-cleaning my kitchen.

They let me pull about four feet of daikon radish out of the school garden this year. For scale, that's full pages of newspaper they're wrapped diagonally in. I know what I am eating this winter.

It's got a 20% discount sticker because today's the sell by date, so I figured why not try a Cheese... Denmark?

@stabbytabby.bsky.social got drunk, misclicked. Ignore the unfollow and refollow... Silver lining, you're now at the top of my follow list instead of the bottom.

You will be visited by 3 spirits.

@mondomascots.bsky.social The police in Shunan City in Yamaguchi prefecture has a pufferfish in a police uniform as a mascot. I don't know if they have a costume for it, but I took a pic of the plushie when I got my driver license renewed

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: Tool Ministry Devo Blondie Grateful Dead

On a mountain road somewhere in Japan. Two years on and this continues to live in my head rent free. Do you see it too? The bus is on the other side of the guardrail. That means it was already abandoned there when the rail was built.

Thanksgiving feast (for one) Smoked turkey drumstick and brown gravy. Whipped sweet potato. Bread roll. Spicy chicken and rice soup. Simple salad with onion dressing. Kabocha pie.

Yeah, this is why I don't go camping here any more

Japan out of context: Elementary school mochi hammers

I really need to stop referring to my body as "this corpse".

I think there's a horror movie in this. I'm thinking Jaws/Cocaine Bear mashup. Small village in the mountains plans a festival to drum up some tourist interest, maybe gets the Yakuza involved to fund it, and then a giant mutant bear wanders in from the Fukushima Exclusion Zone!

A movie you have seen more than seven times with a gif.

... And the war escalated...

Trump came to Japan and exactly one of my students made the connection between my name and the first name of the president, and asked me about it... and I was so embarrassed. Absolutely mortified.

@tiltyhouse.com I just wanted to thank you again, the pumpkin Totoro picture is always a hit with my students whenever Halloween rolls around.

@dollemore.com if you haven't already, I would recommend trying Mos Burger before you leave Japan.

Define your music taste in eight artists. Blixa Bargelt Tom Waits JG Thirlwell Meg Lee Chin Madness Devo KMFDM Shonen Knife

For my fellow autumn people. October Country by Ray Bradbury

Watching the first episode of the 1985 Twilight Zone. Starring Bruce Willis. Written by Harlan Ellison. Directed by Wes Craven. I remember this being good, but fuck me, they went hard on episode 1

I think Google Maps wants me dead

Elementary school field trip to put some mochi rice through the combine harvester. That's my entire Thursday school; nine students and seven (including the principal, vice-principal, and school nurse) teachers.

A staff member at one of my schools gifted me a pumpkin today

Slightly diminish a book A Tale of Two Suburbs

Repost with a character who would make an excellent shitposter

Which film reminds you most of your childhood?

Slightly diminish a band: Patting Molly

I once met a Japanese guy who told me every American should visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki cuz actions have consequences. I said I agreed, and that every Japanese should visit Pearl Harbor, too. He had no idea what I was talking about. Funny what we choose to teach our kids. #hirshima #nagasaki #japan

Birthplace: Stanford, CA USA Furthest I have been... N: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada S: Miami, Florida, USA E: Berlin, Germany W: Fukuoka City, Japan

A potato chipper and an air fryer make a great combination

When your friends tell you, you've got a big heart it's a complement... When a doctor says it, it's a cause for concern

A couple weeks ago I saw a roach in my apartment. I destroyed it with a broom and flushed it down the toilet. I have not seen any since. A few days later I saw a tiny jumping spider making it's way across the floor and said to it, "Sorry, Little Hero, but I think I slew your dragon." 1/2

The veterans of the sexual revolution have the most interesting scars...

@meidastouch.com I generally love the videos, just one note... Abe, the former Japanese prime minister who was assassinated... His name is pronounced "ah-bay" not "ayb".

Of course Japan would take the most "ew" word in English and market it to put in your mouth...

Bitter is the irony... As I continue to lose weight, my chronic back pain worsens. It seems the fat was acting as padding against the bone spurs on my spine.
