Jimmy Kimmel: We have the right guaranteed by the Constitution to criticize and satirize our leaders. This is a right that I took for granted until last year when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise. But then I watched as millions of people objected because they refuse to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing of the White House. We will not stand by when comedy and journalism are censored and criminalized.

@davidrmunson Reminds me of the froggie my daughter wanted to bring home from her kindergarten pond once upon a time…

@UnseenJapanSite Will there be an extra ¥400-500 service fee for requesting pickup via Uber, like GoTaxi and SRide currently charge?

@writerofscratch I really like the “Pride City Suginami” flag! Here’s a G-translated portion of the flag-splanation, where it says “there are others, please learn about them!” Seems the flags were loaned to Suginami-ku by Pride Group; happy to see NB and ace among them.

We're going farther than ever before 🚀

Today, the Artemis II crew will break the record for how far humans have traveled from Earth as they fly around the far side of the Moon.

Coverage begins at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC). Watch Artemis II make history: https://t.co/G7LpghURjg

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

#Tokyo has been activated… #NoKings2026 NO KINGS Tokyo yesterday, hundreds… And anti-Iran war in #Shinjuku the day before, thousands.

No discernible, visible support for President #Trump, or the United States and Israel mission in Iran and in the Strait of Hormuz. #NoKingsデモ #NoKingsTokyo #NoKingsJapan #NoKings #反戦デモ

@larosaryan That looks like a tiny critter… we need to know more about this favorite goat!

@mizunocaitlin My daughter’s renewal last month took a whole two weeks from embassy appointment to getting the new one in the mail. Crazy fast. May you have the same luck!

@davidrmunson Gorgeous old National battery vending machine in Suginami-ku, Tokyo… still working the last time I saw it. Credit @TokyoSilk if you share it, please.

[Leslie Anne Rogers @TokyoSilk]

@davidrmunson I have just a few… some are newer machines with unique design/decoration, some dispense unusual food/drinks, and several are older Showa-era boxes.

[Leslie Anne Rogers @TokyoSilk]

@davidrmunson The Popcorn Ninja machine even has a custom painted shutter. This place has a fishing hole and cafe as well as snacks — for humans and the park’s resident crows.

[Leslie Anne Rogers @TokyoSilk]

@davidrmunson This is one of my favorites… a retro popcorn machine in Wadabori Park.

[Leslie Anne Rogers @TokyoSilk]

@bdjoetsu @davidrmunson Here’s another amulet vending machine; I found this one at Kanda Myoujin in Tokyo. Credit @TokyoSilk please.

@ohazassu Omg hash browns! Did you make those yourself? I saw frozen shredded ‘taters once some months ago and never since.
