Fucking Chicago Bears giving me a heart attack again. But took this great shot of orange and blue sky in Tokyo after Clutch Caleb running TD.

Why why why am I getting hope in Da #Bears again. Now I wish I just had people local in #Tokyo to watch game with.

Went to doctor in #Japan as resident for first time today. No appointment needed. Went to see specialist dermatologist. 40m wait. 30m appointment. 1100¥ for visit and 560¥ for prescription medication. The US has no fucking clue what they are missing.

What's that? I now remember my late mom talking about me having an allergic reaction to laundry detergent and that's why she insisted I always use a specific kind of Tide? Only took moving to Japan and getting a full body rash to jog my memory and then confirm with older brother.

META may take down Ice Tracker apps, but they are super easy to setup and about to get easier. A friend setup this one and is making it a docker container to share with others. nvda-icetracker.app/index.html

Da #Bears have now scored more points in 1st Quarter this season than in all 17 1st Quarters last year combined.

Great pick by Da #Bears Now do something with it.

When you go to Kaikatsu club Ikebukuro #Tokyo to watch #NFL #Bears game because home doesn't have internet yet.

Getting a new phone setup in Japan is night and day vs US US - Going into store. Wait in line for 30m for one of maybe 2 employees to help you. Told to call support for any asks. Japan - 20+ people there to help. Instantly seated and helped. Handle everything even proactively updating address.

When your refrigerator also doubles as a full length mirror

Saw this in a US themed restaurant and bar in Meguro Tokyo. Couldn't agree more. #fuckice

ChatGPT literally just made up 6 desserts and prices for them for a menu. Nicole was confused because there were just 3 on the actual menu and it gave me 6. Looking at the picture I took, it didn't even have the desserts in the photo. Just the header.

Finally got assist and was able to move @xbox.com GamePass to subscribing in Japan just in time for 50% price increase. But Microsoft Amazon store still selling them at 1450¥ per month. Stocked up to 3 years worth at old price and fully redeemed.

I really wish I could just get someone in @xbox.com to fix my backend region so I can properly re-subscribe to @gamepass.xbox.com in Japan.

Izakaya in Japan are dangerous. At a place tonight with choice of 100 different plum wine drinks. About $16 usd per person, all you can drink for 2 hours.

Prime example of Trumps tariffs fucking the US even for products designed and developed by a startup in the US. The Seattle Ultrasonics knife could be providing jobs for US delivery companies, truck drivers, package handlers, shipping ports & dock workers. Instead, Canada is getting the jobs.

Feeling sorry for a Line user today. I was finally able to setup a Line account with my Japanese phone number. Line accounts are tied to your phone number. It said an account already existed. I had to delete their account to create mine. Even if they added an email, recovery requires phone.

They could have done something like this in the Trump immunity case and given a chance for the special counsel to take Trump's federal election subversion charges to trial. Expediting cases is a choice

Had first encounter with a cockroach in temporary Japanese apartment. Apparently these are quite common. Hit it with a spray and planning to acquire some traps.

Just landed in our new home in Tokyo Japan. Time to start the next phase of our lives.

Found the home base of criminals in D.C.

Must read thread on how this shit works. Also recommend the YouTube series "alt-right playbook"

A couple of my many @xbox.com I found while packing to move to Japan.

Please support the real Democratic Party in our upcoming Woodinville City Council elections. Don't support the MAGA aligned "Democratic Woodinville" campaign spending over $200,000 to buy our town. 1stlddems.org/actual-democ...

Sage Leaders is proud to endorse Amber Wise for Woodinville City Council Pos. 3!! ✅ Amber is running for City Council to help build a future where everyone can afford to live, grow, and stay in Woodinville. She believes in leadership grounded in compassion, accountability, and care. (1/2)

@pinnyarcade.bsky.social pins coming to Japan. Was extremely hard to pick which of the 800+ pins to bring on my move, but it's now locked in. Pretty sure all my favorites here plus a few extra cat pins because why not.

As I pack up my Pinny Arcade pins, picking the best ones to bring to Japan is fun. I remember @tychobrahe.bsky.social kid asking to trade at PAX West and the look of terror on his face when the kid asked for a Minecraft pin for a staff pin. Of course I did the trade, Pinny Arcade was awesome.

What is this you may ask. It's a thing...in an Anime... I am only watching because it was featured in @mothersbasement.bsky.social hottest trash. I just watched a dedicated father literally get cucked to death. I would have dropped this show in 10m. Now I am drunk watching episode 2.

The gaslighting, conspiracies and FUD Alex/OneWoodinville + the excessive political spending/FUD and lies of Democratic Woodinville/Jeff Lyon and coordination with CNW is a lot. I’ve done some blogs/videos with facts. www.michelle4woodinville.com/blog/how-to-...

Jeff Lyon for Woodinville is nothing more than a MAGA aligned cryptobro wearing a mask trying to con people into voting for him. Avoid at all cost. Seriously, $150,000 for a city council seat is insane. $20+ political signs, who da fuck does that. www.michelle4woodinville.com/blog/whats-t...

"Let's See How Far We've Come" by Matchbox Twenty is feeling all too real today.

Geoff trying to get me to drunk hate watch a Netflix show.

I loved about 10 blocks from the now Pope till I was 16. It's wild to find out he lived in Dolton, IL. His house marked in upper right. The house I grew up in lower left.

A picture is worth a thousand words. As always, Trump and his cronies are full of shit.

This is what you were most worried about in this Anime?

About the only thing making me smile this morning is realizing Tesla's continues to drop faster than this market as a whole.

It's just the world's largest economy, how much could it cost. Give them a week and it might just be $10

Woke up this morning with my brain helpfully playing Gary Jules version of Mad World. Looked at the stock market Yep checks out

The Nikkei average is down 3000 points, almost 10%, in it's first 30m today. I will be shocked if the markets in the US don't completely crash tomorrow morning.

So inspiring. We as Americans need to stand with Booker to support and protect our Democracy.

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing. Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

The Onion had me rolling on the floor with their Cybertruck column in their physical newspaper. This is just the first part.

When working on Japanese homework and your brain gives up and mixes up nomimas and tabimas and as a result you are like "What is he asking if they want to eat alcohol?"

When I read people supporting the Muskrat as the new "Henry Ford"... It's like... You are more true than you will ever know.

Officially starting application process for Student Visa to Japan to start class at Yoshida in January 2026. Exciting months ahead.

Love telling people "I have started learning Japanese" and then having people reply with something super complicated and look at me like I should already understand it. It's like, I am a whole 2 weeks into a 3 month class.

Less than $150,000 to go until we hit $1 million for Children of Fallen Patriots. Staying up until we hit it. Time to make history. www.youtube.com/live/67n-Y1s...
