Nurses at Maine Medical Center in Portland are demanding that ICE release one of their colleagues after they say she was detained last week. https://t.co/kmnClSbQrP
Kansai's cheat code: 知らんけど (shiran kedo), "I don't know though."
Rule: say anything with total confidence, then add it after.
"Natto every morning makes you rich. Shiran kedo."
Full authority, zero liability. Genius.
What bold claim are you sealing with it?
When Charlie Kirk was killed, people said he was a father taken who didn’t deserve to be murdered for doing what they love etc.
This week, two unarmed, undocumented fathers were killed by ICE
Where’s that same outrage? Does our humanity end at immigration status?
It doesn’t matter if the man killed by ICE in Maine was authorized to work in the United States or not. It doesn’t matter if he had a social security or not. ICE should not be killing anyone. Period.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
His name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero.
- He was here legally.
- He was authorized to work.
- He had Social Security Number.
- He was NOT target of ICE investigation.
- DHS: He did NOT try to kill ICE agents.
He was executed in front of his 3 year old daughter.
顔が広い (kao ga hiroi) literally means "his face is wide."
It has nothing to do with faces. It means well-connected, someone who knows everyone.
One of the best compliments you can give a Japanese colleague.
I’ve just watched the interview with Ann Widdecombe by Colm Flynn and it hit me completely differently now.
She spoke so simply and honestly about her own mortality no fear, just quiet acceptance. She said she’d be happy to die and go to heaven to be with her mum, her dad, her brother… and even her past cats. It was so pure and heartfelt.
Hearing her say those words, knowing how tragically she was taken from us, is incredibly moving and deeply poignant. She was such a simple, genuine woman at heart.
If you haven’t watched this interview yet, please do. It’s one of the most relatable and emotional things I’ve seen. You’ll be in tears.
Rest in peace, Ann. ❤️🙏🇬🇧
Rewatching Ann Widdecombe’s Celebrity Big Brother season, and god she was brilliant.
Those who have made appalling, vile comments about her have demonstrated that they don’t possess an ounce of the decency or dignity that Ann carried throughout her life.
In Japan, don’t say 嫌い ("I hate it") — about food, music, even people.
Say 苦手 (nigate): "it’s not my strong point."
「納豆は苦手です」 = polite pass, zero drama.
「嫌い」 = why are you angry at breakfast?
苦手 lets everyone save face. Even the natto.
