Japan ranked 31st in digital competitiveness, 92nd for English skills. Interesting. japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/…


Since most of my use of ChatGPT is for organizing music playlists I asked it why it did not show that more, and it generated a new picture. Which I also like. Good hair...

5.5% of spouses in Japan choose the wife's surname. I'd be curious if NZ/AU/UK/US have higher rates. Also, curious how marriages to foreigners jive with Article 750 of the Civil Code which specifies that "a husband and wife must have the same family name."

I think what we learned under Abe was rushing to kiss the ring and spin backwards in sand bunkers made no difference. Trump basically doesn't really care about Japan, and that's mostly fine for Japan. No point fussing this time.

Looks like Ishiba won’t be able to pull an Abe and meet Trump after APEC and G20 => 石破首相とトランプ氏との面会、「実現困難な情勢」 日本政府関係者(朝日新聞デジタル) #Yahooニュース news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/813d7…



THIS. Biden and State Department pouring ice water on Ishiba's ideas for Asian NATO and more Japanese defense independence, but this is actually more or less what Trump's whole line on defense was - withdrawing bases and overseas spending and having partners lift. Good for Ishiba

They also suggest that Ishiba's Christianity could help their relationship. This is an overly simplified view that ignores the fact that Ishiba's security goals regarding increasing defense spending align with Trump's goal of making allies pay more. youtube.com/watch?v=QvRpyJ…



I'm only speculating here, but I'd bet if you overlayed graphs showing waifu pillow sales in each country, you'd find oddly matching lines...

Repeat after me: there is nothing exceptional about Japan's birthrate, and it has nothing to do with the economy. It just got there earlier than other countries.

USFJ would not comment on whether Gas Panic played any part in this decision.

Stars and Stripes ran an article a few days ago suggesting that the USFJ is exploring relocating some of its functions from Yokota Air Base to facilities in Roppongi, an area closer to the JSDF’s Joint Command HQ in Ichigaya, as command ties are boosted. stripes.com/theaters/asia_…



LDP was perhaps going to bomb in any scenario, but it does show that Koizumi again to not be very capable at anything other than projecting a sense of knowing he is good looking. Reason why Kono is one of the only people in the LDP that I like is he actually is good at his roles

LDP names ex-Digital Minister Kono Taro & ex-Justice Minister Furukawa Motohisa as deputies to Election Strategy HQ Chair Kihara Seiji. jiji.com/jc/article?k=2…
