He'd be snugged with a fuzzy pink blanket, have water, acetaminophen & electrolytes at the ready when he got up. Not to mention the bucket available in case he gets sick. Women are the protectors men claim to be.

Portrait of a Merchant by Jan Gossaert. He's wedged between all the things of his world, but his skeptical gaze crosses effortlessly to ours from 1530.

Shinjuku Alley , Tokyo, Japan. Photography by Theodore Lee on Flickr.
Framed overhead by a lush canopy of faux crimson maple leaves (momiji), the narrow pedestrian corridor of Shinjuku’s Omoide Yokocho (“Memory Lane”) glows under the warm amber light of paper lanterns (chōchin) and retro illuminated signboards (kanban). On either side, tiny izakaya and yakitori stalls display menu boards and daily offerings, while patrons wander down the tight asphalt path between weathered timber facades. The scene evokes a rich sensory atmosphere: the intoxicating aroma of charcoal-grilled skewers (sumibi-yaki) and rich dashi broth wafting into the evening air, the gentle clink of beer glasses and hushed chatter within counter-seated stalls, the cool touch of autumn air, and the cozy warmth radiated by glowing paper lamps along the passageway.
Originating as a bustling black market (yami-ichi) in the immediate post-World War II period, Omoide Yokocho preserves the intimate, nostalgic scale of mid-century Tokyo amid the surrounding metropolis of towering skyscrapers. The alley represents a masterclass in micro-architecture and spatial efficiency (kyōsho), where micro-bars seating only six to eight guests thrive side-by-side. The seasonal hanging of autumn foliage reflects kisetsukan—the deep-seated Japanese appreciation for seasonal transitions—bringing the poetry of nature into dense urban nightlife. Every hand-painted wooden sign, paper lantern, and compact kitchen layout demonstrates a urban form of monozukuri (artisanal care and ingenuity), maintaining an enduring haven of traditional street-food culture and neighborhood camaraderie.

Setting aside the fact that most of these people did not, in fact, break the law, what does this suggest about how the next administration should handle the members of this one, nearly all of whom have broken many laws?
