Congratulations to Trump’s USA for becoming one of just five countries that conduct judicial executions in public. Iran, North Korea, Somalia, Afghanistan are the only others. A very exclusive club, indeed. Even Saudi Arabia and Yemen have given up public executions.

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. 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/...

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.

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.

Instead of working like a good boy, I’ve been playing like a naughty boy, and put a live ‘fucks not given’ counter on the site, psipook.com Looks a bit odd on a mobile device, the counter exceeding the background, but it looks right on an up-to-date laptop browser.

I've opened a new FictionalShirts t-shirt store on TeePublic who seem to be giving big discounts on shirts at the moment. So, if you were interested in any of my shirts on Redbubble but not interested in their prices, you might like to take a butcher's at the new setup. tee.pub/lic/rikYqR1R...

I remember when we had excuses for wars. Now, the mask has been thrown away. No more WMDs—just raw, transactional violence and a casus belli that is little more than casus bollocks. My latest on the nihilistic transparency of the current war: psipook.substack.com/p/the-naked-...

Spooky ice in the entrails of augury. As polling starts in Japan’s general election it is snowing lots. Eerie: my nickname for rightwing Sanae Takaichi, the likely winner of the vote, is ‘Yuki Onna’, the snow woman — from the Japanese horror myth of a woman who lurks in the ice and kills people.
