@chris_uorushu I think it’s pretty interesting the way people say ‘ハイ・チーズ’ when taking a photograph. Like, the point of saying ‘cheese’ is to make the ‘eeeee’ sound …. As a Kansaian, I prefer to demand people say ‘お好み焼き〜〜〜’
@johnmoe This kind of reminds of being a teenager and mom coming into the living room, and asking “Whatcha watching?” Me responding ‘Requiem for a Dream’ ... and not knowing that the climax of the film was five minutes away....

Come to Hodaka Lake for beach-like activities! There will be canoeing, standup paddleboarding, etc.
A free shuttle bus runs to the lake from Mt. Maya Kikuseidai Observation Platform area.

Saw that Tim Allen was trending this morning. Clicked on topic to find out why only to discover a bunch of tweets asking why Tim Allen was trending.

Just to be clear: The Shinzo Abe government says it is now okay to hold public events in Tokyo with up to 5,000 people gathered in one place, but it is not okay to let foreigners with Japan permanent residency who are trapped overseas to return to their jobs and families. (MP)
My wife and I had a conversation about how to talk about what is going on in America with people in Japan--Because Japanese news is doing a terrible job-- our conclusion: It's really hard. Part of the problem is Japanese TV generally treating every black person as comedy.

#Coronavirus On a train in Italy. A teenage Chinese boy boards the train. A woman comments loudly: “There you go, we are all going to be infected.” He replies in perfect Italian with a Roman inflection: “Ma’am, in my whole life I’ve seen China only on google maps.”
Applauses.
“The Guardian will no longer accept advertising from oil and gas companies, becoming the first major global news organisation to institute an outright ban on taking money from companies that extract fossil fuels.”
A good start, who will take this further?
