Can’t believe the world just accepts this

FAM and the Home Ministry messed up. And, to date no one has been held accountable. The end.

I was like "Maybe this is harsh, even well behaved kids have their moments" but then the owner said the last straw was SOMEONE CHANGING THEIR KID AT THE DINING TABLE. WTF. Yeah fine them $100

🚨 JAPANESE GOVERNMENT AND BOJ ARE NOW WORKING AGAINST EACH OTHER. Today Katayama said Japan wants GPIF, its $1.5 trillion public pension fund and the largest in the world, along with other public funds, to increase investment in domestic Japanese assets. GPIF currently holds close to 50% of its portfolio in foreign stocks and bonds. Even a small shift back toward Japan pulls real money out of US treasuries and US equities and redirects it home. A fund that size moving even a few percentage points can move global bond markets on its own. Japan's PPI just came in at 7.1% year over year, above the 6.8% forecast and up from 6.3% the month before. This data just came in today. Inflation accelerating and a major pension fund preparing to buy more domestic bonds should both push Japanese yields higher. Instead, the 10-year JGB fell 10 basis points to 2.775%, and the 20-year fell 10 basis points to 3.765%. This comes only months after Japan's actual bond crisis in January 2026, when the 40-year JGB yield broke above 4% for the first time, driven by fiscal expansion promises from the government during an election cycle. That crash is the reason yields are still this sensitive to every new signal out of Tokyo. Underneath all of it, the BOJ has been shrinking its own balance sheet, down roughly $502 billion from its 2024 peak, now near $4.33 trillion, as it pulls back from the bond buying that kept yields artificially low for over a decade. Less BOJ buying means the market has to absorb more JGB supply on its own, right as the government plans to issue more debt. That is where the new tax plan fits in. Japan is planning to cut its food consumption tax from 8% to 1% starting April 2027. The remaining 1%, close to ¥600 billion a year, gets redistributed as direct cash payments to lower income households. A bigger tax credit system is scheduled for 2029, with parts possibly moving up to autumn 2027. Every one of those steps means more government spending funded by more bond issuance, landing at the exact moment the BOJ is stepping back from being the buyer of last resort. Rate hikes are supposed to slow the economy and support the yen. Tax cuts and cash handouts speed it back up. The BOJ has rates projected near 1.5% by 2027, the highest in decades, while the government spends more, at the same time the central bank is buying fewer bonds than it has in years. The yen carry trade, where global funds borrow cheap yen to buy higher yielding assets abroad, is still estimated at $4 to $8 trillion. Japan spent $72 to $73 billion defending the yen earlier this year, and USD/JPY still hit 162, a 40-year high. In August 2024, a BOJ hike of just 0.15% triggered a rapid carry unwind. The Nikkei fell over 12% in a single session, and Bitcoin dropped from around $65,000 to under $50,000 in less than a week, purely from leveraged yen positions getting margin called at once. Japan is now tightening policy, shrinking its balance sheet, and expanding fiscal spending, all at the same time, this has never happened before.

"Grassroots volunteer group to defend their town against rising settler violence" fundamentally describes the PLO, Hamas, PFLP, Hezbollah, and all anti-Zionist resistance factions. When these guys get too effective, Israel will just bomb them and say they're terrorists.

Jason Morgan, an American who teaches at Reitaku University, called Takaichi an "American Occupation hag" (GHQ婆婆) and said that LDP politicians should be arrested for treason. He was not a fan of Takaichi cheering for Trump on a US aircraft carrier.

Sony’s stock after their attempt to end physical game media, and their refusal to address the massive pushback situation 10 days later🚀 This is why they wanted you to listen to their sock-puppet media and analysts, meanwhile their own CEO sold his stocks to cash out🤣 NO DISC 💿 NO BUY Keep up the pressure!

Never forget. They’ve reversed course due to backlash before.

Three world cups, Three Semi final appearance. Mbappe has never been knocked out of the World Cup. He has always made the finals. Kylian Mbappe has a better World Cup record than Messi.

Something that used to be and should still be the standard is being used as a selling point now.

Hutang 1MDB yang ditanggung kerajaan ialah RM51.4 bilion. Jika dibahagikan kepada populasi Johor (4.1 juta), seorang kena bayar RM12.5 ribu. Teringat seorang penyokong BN di Johor cakap, “Dosa mencuri, itu antara dia dengan Tuhan”. Sedap betul dia bercakap.

Glad we agree that the government makes fun of our public transportation system. Feeder buses used to have better frequency, but as governments change, it deteriorates, and no politician in power has been bold enough to say, 'Hey, this is an issue and we need to fix this.'

how the fuck do you people not see these are concentration camps???
