If capitalism were truly the engine of innovation, you’d think the quality of plastic surgery among the Epstein class would be a lot better.

3 hours to travel to a job site, 3 hours to get one photo taken, 3 hours to come home. It’s damn lucky I’m still having fun.

Knowing what 20 y/o me was obsessing over and terrified of, he’d be impressed as hell by where I am now, and probably horrified by how I got here.

Arrived in Japan and had wasabi (the mass produced stuff in supermarkets and kaiten sushi). Said “oh, this is horse radish!” and immediately got shouted down. Years later, cue the morning news shows all clutching their pearls at the news that supermarket wasabi is just horse radish dyed green.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hi, I’m a liposarcoma tumor that an idiot GP at the Tokyo Medical and Surgical Clinic (who now runs Hiroo International Clinic) spent a year saying “it’s just a cyst, it’ll go away on its own.”

On the bright side, this should settle the debate over whether women are suited for the role of PM, as Takaichi has proven herself to be every bit as competent and capable as her predecessors.

It’s ironic how the higher you go in terms of power, the lower the bar for relevant competence becomes. If my wife suddenly passed away, there’s not a chance her company would ask me to take over her position.

Honky Tonk Freeway. Comedy about a town facing extinction over highway access, with bribery, drug addiction, roadside kitsch, family road trips, and dreams of stardom. And the whole thing is a massive piece of shit because production was taken over by an asset management firm. Pure America.

🦀 see a crab, post a crab 🦀 Encountered this walking near the seaside in Ibaraki Japan. Gave us a start when it scuttled across the footpath as we’d just been warned to watch for snakes.

A bubble, as opposed to what, exactly? Randos aren’t allowed to just wander into my house, nor were they allowed into my workplace. People aren’t allowed to just walk up and abuse me in schools, shops, restaurants, subways, or even out on the street. What sort of environment are you looking for?

In math, a paradox is when a clearly structured statement, using rigorous logical steps, is shown to be both true and false. In economics, a paradox is when “The model says X happens, but it didn’t. Here is why the world is wrong. Please give me a Nobel prize.”
