An excellent demonstration of the "rules based international order"

Japan conquers chinese tribunate Ryūkyū Kingdom, then when Japan is defeated, the US draws an imaginary line between #yonaguni and #taiwan ...

#japan #china continued..

To the east of the line, territory can be acquired by conquest, and all conquered "chinese" terrtory is returned to #japan

Sure, #china conquered it from natives in the 14th century or whatever, but no American can begrudge them that and still believe in the legitimacy of USA, amirite.

#japan did great work in suppressing native culture and language and transferring their own population in there so to the victor the spoils i guess!

And Okinawa is a great spot for the US navy, so that's nice

The reason? Essentially, copying & pasting of copyrighted images & not realizing they were watermarked. It could have been avoided w/ some basic and practices.

Tourists to Japan are leaving a lot behind - and in some cases, that includes their broken luggage. One hotel in Tokyo found a neat solution to the problem.

Japan's government is pushing a new law to strip permanent residents of their status - but it's based on incomplete data. Learn why some say the law will turn away foreign talent at a time when the country can ill afford it.

On May 10th, Japan Railways’ Suica experienced an IT issue that prevented users from charging their cards using either Mobile Suica or the online EkiNet Web site. That left a few people inside of their destination stations without a sufficient balance to exit the gates.

This is an incredible video if you want to feel like you're visiting . It's exceptionally well done. Christopher has a talent for providing engaging commentary on what is recorded and has a knack for providing the right information.

It takes a while for Peertube to download and start playing the video because of its size. So be patient. And I think the Gundam at the end attacked the feed, so the video is cut off.

Anyway, it's delightful to watch.

The wax gourd in the forest that you said looked like a squid!
They used to be raw squid, but when I went to the forest today, they were "grilled squid"!
🤭ᔦꙬᔨ

Close-up photo of wintersweet berries. Squid? Or is it an octopus? Anyway those berries are brown and look riper than they did at the beginning of spring.

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I want to recommend Japanese-American Kishi Bashi’s song film “Omoiyari.”

It’s described as “a musical journey to understand WWII era Japanese Incarceration, assimilation, and what it means to be a minority in America today.”

The film is streaming on Paramount+ and the record is available on most platforms. Both are amazing.

@timdesuyo I read somewhere that you could be sued (in Japan) if you don't blur people's faces when you take their 'candid' pics in Public. Maybe ONE DAY I'll go to #Japan, so I want to know.

  1. Not being a stickler.
  2. Internet results and comments are often open-ended, so I'm just curious.

I see the #TheBeforeTimes tag but still curious about the laws nowadays.
