Growth, partnerships, not bitterness

The tradition of Japanese fans cleaning stadiums—often seen at major international sporting events like the FIFA World Cup—is not a staged PR effort but a reflection of deeply ingrained cultural values and upbringing.

The practice is driven by several interconnected factors:

Early Education (Souji): From a young age, Japanese students are responsible for cleaning their own classrooms, hallways, and school grounds. There are no janitors in most Japanese elementary or middle schools; instead, cleaning is part of the curriculum (souji) to teach children that maintaining a shared environment is a collective responsibility. 

Leave “No Trace": There is a traditional Japanese saying, "Tatsu tori ato o nigosazu" (literally: "A bird does not foul the nest it leaves behind"). It reflects the importance of leaving a place at least as clean—if not cleaner—than you found it. 

Meiwaku (Avoiding Inconvenience): A core tenet of Japanese social behavior is not to be a nuisance or cause trouble for others. Leaving trash behind is seen as inconsiderate to the staff who would have to clean it and to the fellow attendees who have to use the space. 

Gratitude and Pride: Many fans view the act as a way to show gratitude for being allowed to use the stadium and for the event itself. It is a humble gesture of thanks to the hosts and an expression of pride in their own cultural identity.

In essence, for these fans, cleaning the stadium is a natural extension of the civic discipline they practice in their daily lives, transforming a public event space into an extension of their own personal responsibility. 🇯🇵

After the police are defunded and the jails are closed, as envisioned in her utopia, I'll happily sit around playing "Kumbaya, My Lord" with the violent gangs. I'm sure that after reading all the studies explaining why shooting, stabbing, and victimizing innocent people is wrong, they'll change their ways.

225,000 pounds of cocaine seized through Operation Pacific Viper!

@USCG Cutter Bear and an embarked helicopter crew recently stopped 2 go-fast vessels in the Eastern Pacific using disabling fire to seize 7,000+ pounds of cocaine & push us past this massive threshold.

The Coast Guard continues operations to control, secure, and defend U.S. borders and maritime approaches – where defense of America begins.

@Chicago_Goofies Isnt there holding cells at court houses?

[National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) @GLFOP]

An officer gives chase to a runaway goat and somehow still manages to keep it professional. 🐐🚓

After a brief “hoof pursuit,” the goat is safely placed in the patrol car and even gets a playful reading of its rights.

Only in law enforcement. 😄

President Trump’s Drug Czar just told me they are done with the “harm reduction” approach we see in cities like San Francisco.

Sara Carter: “Harm reduction, we’ve kind of removed that from our lexicon.”

“We can’t enable.”

“I have been around addicts.”

“We want to give them a second chance.”

“That’s why we have Narcan.”

“Every human life is important.”

“Every human being has another opportunity to get better.”

“But enabling?”

“No.”

“That never works.”

“We are treating this as a disease.”

“That is not the way to live your life.”

“I don’t want to help people die.”

“I want to save them.”
