Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

I was today years old when I learned I had it wrong this whole time. Had been doing 1>3>4>2 my whole life.

The bear that occupied a supermarket in Akita City for two days and ransacked its meat section has been captured in a cage trap. This is TV news footage of the bear leaving the supermarket (there's a blue tarp over the cage). https://t.co/90fBHCePLa

For any large democracies that are planning elections in the next few weeks: please be aware that it is possible to tally every single vote (written *entirely* by hand) and have all the winners known in less than eight hours after the polls close.

Ohio STILL hasn't made up its mind (As I awake shivering in my bed with a stuffy nose and sore throat)

[Ryo SAWAYAMA @RyosukeSawayama]

Weather today feeling like Ohio still can’t decide whether it’s winter or summer 🥶

Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia https://t.co/aCsftYRVUe

[Ea-Nasir @alistaircoleman]

If you had “plane crash” in the Yevgeny Prigozhin Death Sweepstake, give yourself a shiny.
Those of you who said “window”, “nerve agent”, or “radioactive isotope” - better luck next time.

Is the Ohioan part supposed to be some form of virtue signaling? Do I also get sympathy from others as a former Ohio resident myself??

The Japanese equivalent of this is canceling your brain surgery appointment for a meeting to “discuss” something that has already been agreed upon behind the scenes prior to the meeting

[Chris Bakke @ChrisJBakke]

Scheduling a meeting:

American: "I'm having brain surgery tomorrow from 2-5pm but can do 5:15pm tomorrow if that works"

European: "Tomorrow is the 789th anniversary of the local cheesemaker setting up shop in our town, which is a 3-day holiday, but I can do next week."

Can’t help but feel a tinge of guilt as a @SAISHopkins grad
