“In Beijing, when one man warned of "foreign influences", he was mocked by others who shouted: "By foreign influence, do you mean Marx and Engels? Is it Stalin? Is it Lenin?"” https://t.co/6BKmYV4XUm

“Tokyo shows how dense, mixed-use neighbourhoods can enliven a city. Many of its best bits were the least planned.” https://t.co/ENJFUZMBqs

Great Myaku-Myaku stands in a desolated wasteland from which he has eliminated all organic life.

Soon, all of your planet will become a desiccated husk.

“While it might be an outlier in persisting with masks, it’s a bigger anomaly when it comes to Covid deaths. Fatalities are a full order of magnitude lower than the UK or the US, despite having no lockdowns and the world’s oldest population.” https://t.co/hKfWHpV8fm

Seriously: You don't need to pre-rinse your dishes. @Wirecutter ran 17 different dishwashers loaded with crusty, stubborn food stains. Even with zero pre-rinsing, each machine almost always did a fantastic job. https://t.co/NQRf1EhoQD

“… people in East Asia tend to spend relatively more time looking at the eyes of a speaker, while Westerners focus more on the mouth. Masks are thus less of an impediment to socialising.” https://t.co/tJS8UqjMhj

“Masks, consistent evidence-based communication (3C’s) with attention to ventilation and air quality, and the outstanding uptake of vaccines and boosters all contributed to Japan’s success.” https://t.co/chpmvjCFr5

“What Perry saw in Japan left him profoundly unsettled by the nuclear threat. Naha and Tokyo had been devastated by tens of thousands of bombs dropped in hundreds of air raids; Hiroshima and Nagasaki, by a single atomic bomb each.” https://t.co/HL4kej7fyG

“Australia is finally set to begin cutting emissions at home. Those generated overseas, by burning its fuel, are someone else’s problem.” https://t.co/n6gEJxtiKs

@daringfireball One possible factor for iPhone dominance in Japan is that most flagship Android phones are from Korean brands, which are generally less popular here. American brands are perennially popular. You do see Android phones from domestic makers but they can’t compete with iPhone/Galaxy.

This seems right: people resist "taking COVID seriously" because they fear they'll be asked to make major lifestyle sacrifices. A reasonable fear given the past 3 years. So maybe take-COVID-seriously advocates need to say explicitly they're NOT asking for big lifestyle changes.

Abe Shinzo 🧵

It’s hard to overstate the transformative importance of Abe’s 2nd administration in 2012-20. Both for Japan and the region. One of 🇯🇵’s most strategically alert PMs, he introduced institutional changes, eg creating the National Security Council, that…
