.@HungryTenor's Obscurdle puzzles are my favorite thing from 2022 so far. They delighted me for the entire day today and even though I finished all 12, I still cannot stop thinking about them: https://t.co/q0JMrU8LiA

ウィシュマ・サンダマリさんに関わる医療関係・処遇関係の書類等を遺族代理人が求めるも、「行政文書開示請求するように」と言われ、その通り開示請求をしたところ、15万6760円の「開示実施手数料」の請求とともに、送られてきた1万5000以上の書類はほぼ黒塗り。ビデオに続き、どこまで愚弄するのか。

For the other Table 14 folks at #ACPT2021: there was talk of wearing shirts or something at the next in-person event, and @gpaolopasco had a sick design idea that I *had* to flesh out. It's a little low-res for a proper T-shirt design, but maybe we can do something with this? 👀

This week, JBRC Press Club members @lilyproJP & @lawrencedenes dig deep into Taro O'Sullivan's wrongful termination suit against Amnesty Japan.

@TBeanpod was denied an interview because he tried to conduct it in Japanese.

@jbrcpod When asked for comment, a representative from Amnesty Japan denied the charges, saying “it had nothing to do with his Japanese ability! We just didn’t like that he was trying to help refugees get into Japan”

…that feels dark. Too real? I made myself uncomfortable with that 😰

[Lawrence Denes @lawrencedenes]

@jbrcpod Reports coming in now that in his hiring interview he said こんにちは and the office immediately treated him as though he was fluent

@jjwalsh Yes my bill for January was the highest I’ve ever had! I thought I was just using more than usual being at home more, but I’m glad (well, sort of glad) I’m not the only one!
