Gotta be the worst article I’ve ever read.
Bros complaining that every square foot of Japan hasn’t been primed and polished for his entertainment.
No way this is a real article, had me double checking it wasn’t April 1st.
Japanese cities can disappoint. Visitors stroll around hoping to be awe-struck by the dreamy spectacle of clip-clopping Geisha in their wooden geita, or barreling sumo wrestlers, or high-stockinged ninja girls (à la Kill Bill), and all against a Blade Runner backdrop, only to be confronted with mostly unremitting blandness.
The constants are these: concrete, plastic, more concrete, more plastic, endless construction (one crappy shopping complex or mansion block replacing another), confusion, and noise. It can all seem dizzyingly homogenous.

Today’s feel good story: A federal judge just handed Zionist YouTuber Ethan Klein a brutal loss in his copyright lawsuit against pro-Palestine Twitch streamer @DenimsTV. In a humiliating ruling, the judge cites a precedent that Klein himself created. 🧵
An Ainu group in Hokkaido has filed Japan's first lawsuit demanding the government return 279 ancestral remains held at the state-run Upopoy memorial. They argue that under Ainu tradition the community, not the state, holds the right to care for its dead.
I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

NATURE IS HEALING. WE ARE SO BACK.
Mi esposa falleció mientras mi hija estaba en Japón y @bookingcom / @gotogate se niega a procesar un reembolso que la aerolínea (China Eastern) sí autorizó. Ignoran sus correos electrónicos y se quedan con 2340 € de su dinero durante esta tragedia familiar.
@MicrosoftHelps Their response “durrr it’s the fault of someone else not us” literally PC was completely fine until they forced an update of their shitty system 😂
@MicrosoftHelps has an inability to admit fault and would prefer to mess around with useless updates and redownloads of systems already installed. Legit I’m in a madhouse lol
Class action lawsuit when? I’ll start 😂
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT THE ENHANCED GAMES..
Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. spent millions to create a steroid Olympics.
They promised to "redefine human limits" and put up $25M in prize money.
After 5 hours in Las Vegas, here’s the scoreboard:
- 1 world record (not recognized by anyone)
- Thor Björnsson failed his 515kg deadlift (managed only 475kg)
- olympic sprinter Fred Kerley missed the 100m WR by 0.4s - without even taking drugs
- the only "record" came from a Greek swimmer who finished 5th at Paris 2024. He wore a supersuit banned since 2009 and beat the clean record by just 0.07s
the whole pitch was that drugs would shatter the limits of clean sport.
instead they proved the gap between juiced and clean is now 7 hundredths of a second - in a suit banned 17 years ago.
the only thing they actually proved was how good the clean athletes already are.
You think the Enhanced Games exposed anything or just embarrassed themselves?
Ladies and gentleman. The uselessness of Japanese policing.
I say it all the time by all crime might as well be legal in Japan since the police do absolutely nothing.
On May 16, Japanese police questioned a man who was sleeping on the street. He said he'd just committed murder.
Police didn't take him seriously because he didn't give details. They gave him a ride and let him go free.
Now he's wanted for a double murder.
