Her useless campaign poster says nothing about what she wants to achieve, just that she likes eating watermelon.

So glad I'm not allowed to vote in the election. The leading candidate for mayor of Yokohama, Atsumi Harasawa, pretends she can't speak when asked whether she actually lives in the city. She's not.

Navi Pillay handed He Geng's name to China. He Geng is the wife of Gao Zhisheng.
Gao smuggled a book out of detention in which he recounts being tortured specifically to make him tell his family not to do advocacy.
Navi Pillay got the Nobel Peace Prize.
Gao is missing.

She is literally complicit in the #UyghurGenocide.
Please have her lift her diplomatic immunity so victims of that genocide can sue. I kept receipts.

NOBEL HYPOCRISY: Today's Nobel winner Navi Pillay had notoriously refused to attend Chinese political prisoner Liu Xiaobo’s Nobel ceremony in 2010. Foreign Policy reported she refused to attend or send a substitute. Dr. Yang Jianli, Liu's rep accused her of bowing to Beijing. 🧵

@dorongrinstein @TheEconomist Very poor social media post; I don’t think it accurately reflects the actual review that I listened to, which was more balanced https://t.co/DMVEMYqiuT

Another highlight from Philip Short’s Pol Pot: Anatomy of a Nightmare: Mao could have tried to talk Pol Pot out of his disastrous revolution. Instead, he decided it was a good opportunity to practise his English — a language he’d apparently been trying and failing to learn.

Note to self: no more reading about penis-invading leeches before going to sleep. Philip Short’s Pol Pot: Anatomy of a Nightmare is not exactly bedtime reading.

@rustybrick My three best friends all seem to think it's unnecessary, though you'll prove them all wrong if you end up as the last man standing!

A fascinating slice of Yokohama history: Glenn Scoggins, the Harvard/Yale-educated historian who’s taught at Saint Maur since 1977, is giving a talk at YC&AC this Thursday on the 1896 Edith May Carew arsenic murder scandal. Beer during and after.

Yokohama’s rain forecast is pretty wild from a Norwegian perspective: around 520 mm (20.5 inches) in just 7 days. Oslo normally gets roughly 800 mm of precipitation in an entire year. So Yokohama could get around two-thirds of Oslo’s annual rainfall in ONE WEEK.
