DavidBHimself, to Japan

Japanese TV is crap with more crap and an extra layer of crap. However, once a day, for a minute, pure magic.

A few examples:

I hate being the one saying this, but people going to Japan and expecting to see Ninja are a bit naive.

They're ninja. If you could see them, they'd be bad at their job and be fired (and they wouldn't be ninja anymore.)

Hmmmm... I'm intrigued. Could be a masterpiece, could be a giant mess... Could be both...

And the Mastodon taliban that are not happy about it can go f' themselves, or even better, move to an instance that doesn't federate with anyone (I advise truth.social )

Has reached too?

It's underlining more and more of what I write, in more and more colors, but suggestions for fixing sentences or words are now pretty much all under a paywall. WTF?

DavidBHimself, to tesla

I think the Cybertruck is becoming my favorite car ever.

See, I never cared for cars. No car has ever elicited any feelings from me. They're a necessary evil and nothing else. Do they get me where I need to go? Fine. They don't? No interest.

But this car? The Cybertrunk? Most hilarious car ever. By far. Love it. A good laugh every day when I open social media.

DavidBHimself, to TaylorSwift

I listened to a Taylor Swift song and I liked it (one of the newest one, it was in my Youtube recommendations and I clicked.)
Does it mean I need to listen to the other ones?

Full disclosure: it was actually the second time I heard a Taylor Swift song. The first time was on the Hollywood Dreams ride at Universal Studios Japan. One of her songs was playing in my seat's speakers, but I was too busy freaking out to really pay attention.

Quand tout à coup... Du Cassoulet dans le télé...
Là c'est dur de me prendre en traître comme ça.
C'était censé être une émission sur Paris, donc rien pour me donner le mal du pays, normalement.

Somebody over at BlueSky just said this:

"When people think of English food, they only think of white English food, not other myriad foods that have come from other cultures."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I know it's an English practice to steal foreign cultural artifacts and claim them as their own but come on...

Your reading assignment of the day.

This is about the US, but the same is happening in Europe, Australia, even Japan, and probably more.

I never feel poorer in this city than when I park my 15-year-old car in the medical campus parking lot.

DavidBHimself, to restaurants

In 12+ years in Japan, it's my first time in a Saizeriya. A very weird place, indeed, for this European.
For people not in Japan, it's a chain of "Italian" restaurants that also have other kinds of "European" dishes.

I'll get back to you after eating (I suspect that it won't be authentic but still good, this is the Japanese way for non-Japanese food in Japan)

DavidBHimself, to fediverse

Wow, I hadn't looked at my follower count in a while, but I currently have 997!!! I know not all are active, far from it, (and a dozen maybe my own accounts on other platforms) but I'm three followers away from having a 1,000!!!

I've never had 1,000 followers on any social media before, not even the ones where I've been active for 15+ years... This, my friends, is the power of the

"Whoops, sorry not sorry for what we totally knew we did."

This my friends is the very definition of . This act was not an accident, it's meant to terrorize aid workers so that fewer come to Palestine.

DavidBHimself, to internet

After a long thought, and 20 years of experience with them on social media: after all this talk about federation, opt-in, opt-out and all that, I came to the conclusion that being connected with Americans on social media should be opt-in by default.

Warning: Tomorrow is April 1st, so be careful, don't believe everything you read on the internet, and don't share all the shocking things you stumble upon. On April 2nd, you're good to go, everything on the internet will be true again, and share away everything.

TIL that it's Easter today...

Living in the West, I could never really care for that holiday - probably because it was too religious compared to others (at least in France it still is, especially compared to Christmas which has fully become a secular holiday.) But now, living in Japan, I sometimes even forget that it exists.

Can someone unplug the US and then... not replug it?
This will make life better for billions of people.

Bon appétit.
