I’ve been a fan of Xbox since I first picked up the Duke Controller, stepped out of the escape Pod onto the Halo Ring
Covered Xbox for 14 years
I don’t agree with everything they do, my support/preference has never wavered
At the moment I feel like the 360 Days are coming back
British politician and Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe fired back at a reporter after the reporter labeled Elon Musk a "tech oligarch"
Rupert: "Are you jealous, What did you call him?"
Reporter: "A tech oligarch"
Rupert: "No. no, He's the most Successful entrepreneur who has set up X as a free speech platform, so he's served the individual free speech, he's not a tech oligarch"

A Canadian messaged me last week.
He said: I agree with everything you post.
I cannot say any of it at work.
I asked: what would happen if you did?
He said: reported to HR. Investigated. Probably let go.
He lives in Canada.
Not China. Not Russia.
Canada.
So yes.
A Japanese account in Tokyo will keep posting.
Until he can say it himself again.
What speaks to me about Elon Musk is simple.
He actually does it.
The modern world is full of people who talk.
Talk about changing the world.
Talk about protecting freedom.
Talk about helping humanity.
Talk about the future.
Musk builds.
When others were writing articles about electric cars, he was building them.
When others were laughing at reusable rockets, he was landing them.
When others were talking about connecting the world, he was launching satellites.
When others were debating free speech, he spent $44 billion and bought the battlefield itself.
That is rare.
Very rare.
Most people want comfort.
Most people want approval.
Most people want everyone around them to smile and clap.
Musk seems driven by something else entirely.
The mission comes first.
The work comes first.
The outcome comes first.
If that costs sleep, so be it.
If that costs money, so be it.
If that costs his reputation, so be it.
There is something deeply admirable about a person who keeps moving forward under that kind of weight.
That spirit resonates with many Japanese people.
Duty before comfort.
Responsibility before popularity.
Results before excuses.
I don't admire Elon Musk because he is rich.
I admire him because he is willing to stake everything on what he believes.
The world has no shortage of commentators.
It has a shortage of builders.
And Elon Musk is one of the greatest builders of our time.
🚨🌎 Breaking news : People all over the world have started to watch South Korean patriots.
The atmosphere is beginning to turn around.
As time goes on, this will spread even more powerfully to people across the globe!
South Korean patriots!
Never give up 💪
Stand strong and fight until the end.
Freedom is in your hands.
Bro, this is actually barbaric.
For meat to be certified Halal, the animal has to be slaughtered while it’s still fully conscious. No anesthesia, no stunning — just slit the throat while it’s awake and aware.
Cows and sheep can stay conscious for several minutes after their throats are cut. They feel the pain and slowly suffocate on their own blood while thrashing around.
Then they’re hung upside down to bleed out while still alive and struggling.
This is the “proper” Halal process.
And people want this kind of thing to spread in Japan?
Japanese people have a completely different relationship with food and animals. We say “itadakimasu” and “gochisousama” because we’re grateful. We don’t want to cause unnecessary suffering.
This method is the total opposite of that.
If this is what their religion demands, then fine — but it has no place being normalized in Japan.
This is exactly why a lot of people say Islam just doesn’t mix with Japanese values.
Bro, this is actually a really good point.
Why do Muslims have so many refugees?
They pray five times a day, claim their God is the greatest, and say Islam is the perfect religion. So why are so many Muslim countries completely messed up, with people fleeing to other countries just to survive?
If their God is so powerful, why can’t He fix their own countries? Why do they have to run away to non-Muslim countries and then demand special treatment once they get there?
It’s kinda funny when you think about it. They keep saying their faith is superior, but the results on the ground tell a completely different story.
Maybe instead of praying and then escaping to other people’s countries, they should focus on actually making their own societies work first.
USA. Summer. It is 95 degrees outside, and I am shivering inside a sandwich shop.
I have discovered how Americans forge strong souls.
Outside, the sun is trying to kill everyone. Inside this small restaurant, it is winter. My breath does not fog, but it is thinking about it. A man near me is eating a cold sandwich while wearing a jacket. In summer. Indoors.
In Japan we would simply turn it down. Americans do not turn it down. And now I understand them better than they understand themselves.
This cold is not an accident. This cold is a gift.
The owner has built, inside his shop, a second season. He invites you in from the brutal heat and hands you the one thing the sun has denied you all day: a reason to be cold. To endure it is to be tempered. You walk in soft and sweating. You walk out sharp and clear, a slightly stronger person than you were.
So I did not complain. I removed my outer layer and offered it to the woman at the next table, who was hugging herself. She said, "Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you." She was not fine. Her lips were blue. But she, too, understood the training. She would not break first. I respected her deeply.
The owner asked if everything was okay.
"It is perfect," I said, through my teeth, which were chattering. "Thank you for the winter."
He said, "...I can turn the AC down if you want?"
I told him no. A man does not ask the mountain to be shorter.
I stayed two hours. I ordered a hot coffee to survive. Then a second one, to hold. By the end I could no longer feel my hands, but my spirit had never been clearer.
So now, on the hottest days, I seek out the coldest rooms. I sit. I shiver. I sharpen.
And when I finally step back out into the summer heat, and it wraps around me like a warm bath, I feel it.
Reborn.
A man who has survived the winter, in August, indoors, for the price of a sandwich.
The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!
So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.
Bro, let’s stop pretending.
Muslims make up about 25% of the entire world’s population — over 2 billion people across 50+ countries.
Japanese people? About 1.4% of the world. One single country.
Shinto exists only in Japan.
So when people say “Japan should prioritize minorities and be more accommodating to Islam,” who exactly are we talking about?
The global majority is coming to one of the world’s smallest ethnic and religious groups and demanding that Japan change its culture, food, and traditions for them.
That’s not “protecting minorities.” That’s the majority trying to colonize a tiny minority.
Japan has every right to protect its own people and culture first.
If Muslims want to live under Islamic rules, they already have dozens of countries where they can do that. They don’t need to come to Japan and turn it into another one.
At a daycare in Tokyo, a Muslim mother said:
“It’s so much easier now. I don’t even have to pack lunch anymore.”
Why?
Because the daycare changed its meals.
No pork.
No soy sauce.
Chicken only if it is halal-certified.
Not in Saudi Arabia.
Not in Pakistan.
Not in Indonesia.
In Japan.
Of course, children should not be mocked or punished for their religion.
That is not the point.
The point is this:
Japanese children are now eating under someone else’s religious rules
inside their own country.
And somehow, we are told to call this “diversity.”
No.
Diversity should never mean one side gives up everything
while the other side is endlessly accommodated.
So tell me again.
Who is integrating into whose country?
Because from here, it looks like Japan is being asked to bow in its own home.
And I’m tired of being told to smile while it happens.
Japan… I’m in tears. 😭🔥⛩️
We’re only five months into 2026.
And already,
10 temples and shrines in Japan have been lost to fire.
One was founded in 807 AD.
Another was part of a World Heritage Site.
The causes may be different in each case.
Even so,
it feels like it’s happening far too often.
Places that survived for a thousand years
can disappear in just a few hours.
Every time I see another headline about a temple or shrine burning,
it feels as though a small piece of Japan’s history is disappearing.
And that makes me very sad. 🇯🇵😭
Itadakimasu.
One word. Japan says it before every meal.
The world hears "let's eat."
That is not what it means.
It means: I humbly receive.
Not thanks to the cook.
Thanks to the life on the plate.
The fish.
The rice.
The vegetables.
The animal.
Everything that died so you could keep living.
A small child says it.
A businessman says it.
You say it alone, with no one there to hear.
A tiny daily bow to one fact.
Your life is paid for by other lives.
Two seconds.
Before you pick up your chopsticks.
Every single time.
Itadakimasu.
Thank you for the life I get to keep.
Me: inside Japanese police station.
not arrested. hopefully.
I came to report lost wallet.
officer very polite.
Officer: Where did you last see it?
Me: Probably train station.
Officer nods, types for two seconds.

another officer walks over holding my wallet carefully like sacred relic, everything still inside, cash untouched.
Me genuinely emotional.
Me: This country is unbelievable.
Officer smiles proudly, then pauses.
Officer: There was one issue.
Me: …what issue.
Officer opens wallet slowly, pulls out embarrassing anime sticker I forgot existed.
silence.
both officers staring at me respectfully but differently now.
Officer: You like magical girls?
Me: …we all have struggles.
older officer suddenly leans forward.
Old Officer: Season two was disappointing.
Me: WHAT.
Old Officer: They ruined power scaling.
younger officer immediately joins debate.
Officer: No no movie fixed it.
suddenly entire police station arguing anime lore passionately.
one detective emerges from back room holding instant noodles.
Detective: Original manga better.
Me: I CAME HERE FOR A WALLET.
