Note to self: you do not release terrorists on bail. Being released on bail is a dictionary definition of not being a terrorist. Two days after a massive terrorist incident the police shouldn’t still be trying to decide whether there was anything in any of the vans that could possibly explode.

I absolutely do not approve of the patronising and small-minded practice of sniggering at other languages when some of their words sound funny in English. But sometimes you have to. Spotted in an import shop in Tennoji, Osaka.

Fun Fifa fact: Gianni Infantino has never played football, nor has he ever managed a team. It’s a bit like the head of a car manufacturer who can’t drive — or who has never even been inside a car.

Chris Page @psipook.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Fun Fifa fact. Since I posted my Substack piece about Fifa’s post WC antics, UEFA has said they will boycott any Fifa events until Infantino withdraws plans to sell the game to American private investment companies. Seems that UEFA has found some balls, as it were. open.substack.com/pub/psipook/...

Got home yesterday, opened the tatami room door and a cockroach flew at my face. The cats chased it. It flew up to the kamidana. I sprayed and not one, but *two* cockroaches fell into the nearby sink. I sprayed again. And then I had to wash all the washing up again because it got sprayed too.

Two more from the Infants Terribles exhibition at the Nakanoshima. Neither needs any commentary. Ironic Mishima by Morimura, and the huge space cat could only be by Yanobe.

Chris Page @psipook.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Probably a bit difficult to see in this inadequate photo, but here we have a cat clad in a lacquer space suit curled comfortably around the hilt of a real (and made specially for the event) katana. Yanobe Kenji, of course and part of the Infants Terribles show at the Nakanoshima.

So now he is threatening to block something that is already blocked, and for whose prior blocking he was responsible but didn’t want, about which he said he didn’t care, but over which he was prepared to end a civilisation. Perfectly clear.
