Scruffy Word Herder. I have no party or political loyalty other than to the Constitution and the Republic it serves. Ukraine, Israel good, Russia, Iran, bad.

The New York Times still hasn’t reported on the rape of some 250,000 young British girls.

It’s been over 48 hours since the Rape Gang Inquiry was released.

@IreneKenyon4 Probably a vendor/corporate credit card fraud issue. Seen something like that happen before now and again, can't remember what chain it was though.

People in Britain keep messaging me.

They want me to post something.
They cannot post it themselves.

Not because they are wrong.
Because in their country, being right about the wrong topic can end your job, your reputation, your freedom.

So they ask a Japanese account to say it instead.

That is not a small thing.
That is what a country looks like when free speech is already gone.

Hope Amazon delivers it quickly.

Meet Pervez Siddiqui, a Pakistani and the president of an adult day care in NYC. He was just arrested and charged for allegedly carrying out a $38 MILLION Medicaid scam.

Siddiqui allegedly faked sign-ups in order to receive kickbacks through Medicaid payments.

Siddiqui was reportedly prominent in Democrat circles, per NYP

7 other co-conspirators were also arrested.

The fraud never ends.

@ksorbs And kids aren't banned from Bluesky. Starmer's gotta make sure the groomers can get to them somehow, I guess.

Drug organizations and child sex offenders should be subjected to this.

If we're going to allow prison sentences, then at least punish them with this.

USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.

I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.

In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.

"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.

"Honey, that's what it looks like."

The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."

I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.

I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.

It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.

"Well?" the waitress asked.

"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."

"Everybody does, hon."

Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.

Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.

I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.

It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.

"—LERT. ALERT. SKIZZER SWARM INBOUND TWELVETY. ALERT. ALERT."
Oh, shit. I didn't try to argue that it was way too early for skizzers to start swarming. Folks at Garricker Point were solid. They knew better than to prank anyone about skizzer swarms.
"ACKNOWLEDGED," I flashed. "ETA SKIZZER SWARM?"
"ETA NOW. ETA NOW NOW NOW. ETA NOW NOW NOW."
I grabbed at the rope for the alarm bell. Just as I gave it the first yank, the woods around Twelvety lit up with gunfire and screams.-- Shai's 2nd novel, "Stormjammer" is now up for preorder, release on 19 June. https://t.co/hl7OWhdIWu

The fact that Ukraine continues to not lose after 4 plus years just shows they want the war to continue.

It was a blast! Thanks to Rob and Jenn for having me on Mythbehaving!

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.
