@harukaawake Did it not start with Showa Hi on Wednesday?

🇯🇵 Today's dinner was a beef bowl + a small salad with sesame dressing for ¥840 ($5.30 USD). It's the last day before my Golden Week national holidays start.

@AFP It’s a laundromat

🇯🇵 Japan cleaner goes viral with spa-like service for plushies A worn-out Pikachu plushie, tired teddy bear or stained stuffed animal can all get a new lease of life at a Japanese laundry service, making beloved toys squeaky clean again.

@MontanaFamilies & “abortion” itself is a euphemism for murder!

Excellently done. Abortion advocates can only talk about abortion in euphemisms because it is too grotesque and evil to discuss in plain terms.

@MontanaFamilies Amen. Amazing clip and point by @realBrandonGill

Abortion is barbaric and evil.

Nothing like sitting in church with Grandpa

@Rainmaker1973 Stalker much

This boy packed a Christmas gift for a girl in the Philippines and 14 years later she found him on Facebook. They fell in love and got married

@TolkienWonder What app do you like to use?

Sipping on some black tea, English style, as I write out more of my short story. This is a little glimpse of heaven.

Just a casual Sunday stop at our local Asian bakery. 🥐😏

@philvischer Yes, timid preaching. Refusing to call out the sin of racism against whites and hatred of Trump.

Thankful no one was killed in DC last night. According to reporting, the shooter thanked his church community in his manifesto explaining his actions. Something's seriously wrong when a frequent church attender can justify assassination as a tool for justice.

Japanese culture.

Thankful to be able to hang out with these guys at a pastors conference in Dallas for a few days. It was a great time of fellowship and refreshment. Doing that Kingdom work. 😏 #GaijinsforJesus

@JoelWebbon @AiG Do you believe in evolution? People are not animals. They are created in the image of God.

@AiG 2 of each animal - producing many significant subspecies over the subsequent millennia. 8 people - producing zero meaningful distinctions over subsequent time. You’ve done great work, but this hurts your credibility.

There’s only one race—the human race.

@tanpukunokami The highest levels of abuse have always been by the non-biological parent. This is why divorce, gay adoption, etc is so dangerous.

A sad thing happened in Japan An 11-year-old boy named Yuki was reported missing in Kyoto. His stepfather was out on the streets, handing flyers to neighbors, asking for help finding him. This week, that same stepfather was arrested. He has reportedly told police he “lost his temper and strangled” Yuki, then dumped the body in a mountain forest. The boy’s mother, by every account, believed him until the end. This is where most people will stop reading, and this is exactly where the harder conversation should start. Japan has a quiet, persistent problem that rarely makes it into the English-language conversation about this country: children living with stepfathers or their mother’s new partners are overrepresented in serious child abuse cases. In Japan, when child abuse crosses into criminal prosecution, around 72% of offenders are “father figures” — and within that group, over a third are stepfathers, adoptive fathers, or the mother’s live-in boyfriend. Given that stepfamilies make up only around 7% of marriages in Japan, that share is not small. Child welfare data tells a similar story, case after case — sustained beatings, torture, sexual abuse, disposal of bodies. It is not that stepfathers are monsters. Most are not. It is that a country that treats family as a private black box — where divorce still carries stigma, where mothers are often financially cornered into remarrying, where schools and neighbors are trained not to intrude — systematically fails to see the children inside those homes until it is far too late. Yuki’s mother handed out flyers next to the man who now says he killed her son. Japan just began allowing joint custody this month, after decades of delay. But the harder reforms — mandatory home visits, real authority for child welfare workers, serious screening around non-biological caregivers — are still stuck. This is not an abstract policy argument. It is the difference between an 11-year-old going to school next week, and an 11-year-old becoming a headline. Rest in peace, Yuki.

@Three_Cone You honestly think 50% of San Antonio physically can?

Spurs fans better wear the shirts cause this looks sick

This is the most dystopian thing I’ve ever seen. Two gay guys have someone’s baby. He asks the baby who he wants. Baby says, “mama” He tells the baby “there is no mama.. you have dada or pop” Baby cries. There is no mama.

The “not-guilty” verdict needs to be overturned, then, and this vile racist needs to be in prison for the rest of her life.

Just an observation. The reunion footage of Victor Glover is with his wife and 4 children. Christian Koch's footage is with her husband and their dog. I'm not sure what it means, but there's an op-ed in there for someone to write.

@GrwaNnKqMn5nG68 So sorry Tadao San 🙇‍♂️

これは東京のどのあたりですかね。 外国人に好き勝手やられて、 本当に悔しい💢 警察は何をしているのですか💢
