I am going to Japan in the indeterminate future and the responsibility of planning what we do was thrust upon me. Does anyone here have experience in Japan and have certain reccomendations. Exact area of travel is yet to be decided, but will likely be Kanto area and possibly also Kansai. But stuff outside there is still appreciated if you have it.
Can be as vague as a food one should try or an area to see, or as specific as a named location or attraction. Anything is appreciated, thanks!

For anyone over the age of 50 who has put off getting the Shingrix (shingles) vaccine, some recent studies should make you reconsider. This week's TWIV episode digs into some of the positive ancillary effects, looking at some very creditable papers that find that it greatly reduces the incidence of dementia, and generally slows down the aging process by suppressing inflammation.
The RSV vaccine has seen some similar side-effects.

My doctor told me it’s actually a misconception to think it’s and ageing illness, that as long as you had chicken pox before, you can get it at any age.
I was lucky, she said I only had a mild case, but if that was mild, I don’t even want to think of how a bad case feels like. And mine was in the back, not somewhere like my face…

Many of my friends here in Canada are already living precariously when it comes to food and housing, but news of further escalation of food prices with Lloyd's cutting huge amounts of fertilizer shipments really drove home just how precarious things are likely to become.
Instead of despairing when we were talking about it this morning, we were suddenly planning garden shares, wholesale buying research and propagation techniques, and it filled my heart with hope.
We are being bled dry daily by corporate greed here, but collective solidarity is a hugely human survival skill. I am so grateful for my beautiful friends.

I’d like to remind people that in America and probably in Canada as well during World War II that the population was encouraged to create what we’re called victory Gardens.
I read a bit a little about it a while back, but the idea was to maximize the amount commercial agriculture that could be devoted to supporting Europe and the military efforts there.
People in every community should approach their city government and have public space allocated to community gardens.
I’d like to point out this should be a priority for dense urban environments.
Urban gardening is an absolutely a possibility

I'm also currently starting to teach as many of my friends as I can to build hugelkultur towers, as a 2 ft space can grow as much as an entire garden bed.
Cheaper than a lot of growing too if you have access to wood waste. The cost of things like soil and compost have nearly quadrupled here since 2020, so any way you can cultivate soil outside of the financial system is a huge boon.
The majority of waste I produce is compostable table scraps. If only I had a couple of square yards where I could just toss the stuff out and put it back into the soil. India is actually a very interesting country because they are promoting municipal distributed waste management and composting figures very high in this program.
About once a week, I have all the other shit that things come packaged in that goes in the recycle bin.
I've been building a central tube in my hugel towers out of cardboard and dumping scraps in the center with top soil surrounding the outside. Working pretty well so far. Essentially compost in place.
I learned to garden from my grandmother because she came from a family with 7 children and they became big victory gardeners. Gardening also kept my grandad fed during the depression on the prairies and led him to become a labour activist.
Neither came from financially stable places and wanted to pass it on as a life skill and I'm so grateful they did. Even having a garden was a huge luxury to my grandmother because the entire family had lived on a houseboat for years and having soil on dry land was a huge step up for them.

I do agree @AnarchoNinaWrites here: Miller is the one behind it all — ICE, CBP, Good, Pretti, all of it — and Miller’s head •is• on the chopping block.
Please do not shut up about what’s going on, and annoy the living crap out of your Senators.
jorts.horse/@AnarchoNinaWrites…
No, I mean I genuinely think Bovino and Noem are the same firing. This is Trump cutting off fingers he doesn't like as much as his right hand - Miller.There is an opportunity here to get rid of Goebbels. Trump is firing these people entirely so he doesn't HAVE to fire Miller. But both Bovino and Noem, just got fired for essentially following Miller's orders.
Now, do I expect Democrats to seal the deal? No no I do not.
But Miller is still on the block here. I promise. I know Trump well now.

Something I do not think the fashy Trump-licking crowd understands is how •deeply• we here in Minneapolis and environs felt everything that’s happened.
The ICE invasion might have been a lot of things for the folks behind it: a strategic offensive, a gambit, a bender, a job, a joy ride. But I suspect that across all those cases, it was something they feel like they can walk away from whenever they decide to be done with it.
Not so for us neighbors. They have no idea how angry we are. They have no idea how long we’re going to stay angry. If you were a part of the ICE invasion, be warned: people will be out hunting for your head as long as you walk free on this earth.

I’m telling you: Miller’s head is on the chopping block. His ouster is a possibility. His existence needs to become an endless nuisance for Trump and everyone else around Trump the same way that Noem’s did.
Do not shut up. Attach his name to everything awful that happens, every curse you utter. We •can• get this monster out of there.

> “It gives me pause that you had people like Stephen Miller calling the shots,” Tillis added. “It was Steven Miller who said it was the position of the United States that we should go after Greenland. And Stephen Miller, that’s been repeatedly responsible for embarrassments for the President of the United States by acting too quickly speaking, first, and thinking later.”
So, this is Tillis making the case for Miller as a Judas Goat. But infantilizing Trump does not absolve Trump.

They can't have it both ways. Either Trump is a strong and intelligent president making his own decisions or Trump is a weak, easily led fool puppeted by a Wormtongue.
These people have an amazing ability to hold two opposite thoughts in their head at once. I'd melt down from the cognitive dissonance if I tried to do that.

I did read it. And understood what Orwell was saying. But, again, I do not grok this.
I don't know if you can even call someone capable of such things sentient. Shades of truth? No problem. Moral gray areas? No problem. But earnestly believing two opposing things at once?
Does. Not. Compute.
'“What we want is a situation where ICE is actually conducting itself like every other law enforcement agency in the country as opposed to using taxpayer dollars to brutalize or in some cases kill American citizens,' Jeffries said.'"
So Hakeem Jeffries is somehow unaware that ICE *is* doing what every other law enforcement agency in the country is doing, just more openly?
As somebody who’s spent the last several decades living with the Minneapolis police, I can say both that many of the things ICE was doing were exactly out of MPD’s playbook •and• that what ICE did here is an order of magnitude worse.
Yes, of course. Sorry..I didn't mean to minimize the Siege of MSP. I apologize if that's how it came accross.
Just wanted to call out Jeffries for the hypocrite he is.
Tillis isn't wrong here (I hate saying that). In an administration well-stocked with psychopaths, Miller still stands out as the worst of the worst.
I don't know if dumping Miller will temper the activities of the administration. Trump seems to have some dim awareness that his approval rating is tanking; maybe he'll be less likely to choose the most evil and unpopular direction every time.
And now you have a shadow of what it feels like to be Palestinian.
What they fight, we fight. Authoritarianism, aggressive military with no real oversight. The ability for state forces to murder, in broad daylight, and know they can. Palestine was a test bed, and those tests are coming home.
