Japan's proposed food tax holiday costs ¥4.8 trillion in annual revenue. The projected GDP return: ¥0.3 trillion. I broke down what that ratio means for fiscal credibility, the BOJ's rate path, and the yen. #JapanPolicy #FiscalPolicy #BOJ linkedin.com/pulse/japans-f…

My latest commentary. The strait that supplies 70 percent of #Japan 's oil is now a test of what its alliance with Washington actually requires. #Takaichi cannot simply say yes. The constitution has views on that. And so does history. #StraitOfHormuz linkedin.com/pulse/japan-co…

@yurikageyama Such a lovely remembrance; a beautiful tribute ❤️

I knew Bambi Hu from when he was a student at Cornell. He was smart, classy and kind. But what I remember most about him was how he was such a loving father to his daughter. That was one of my first encounters as a young adult with parenting. She was such a delightfully cute child, too, I feel very lucky to have encountered the relationship in that way. I Googled today and learned Prof. Hu died in 2015. Thank you always. physics.hkbu.edu.hk/people/prof-hu…

@obenkarp I love it becuz it can lead to weird fun conversations 😆

I’m of two minds in this - I’ve enjoyed knowing all about a parter’s work. I’ve also enjoyed cohabitating a super contained nest where the outside world retracts. But great for any couple that’s happy however!

@mikik0307 Looks like an amazing time! And (late)happy birthday wishes to granddaughter 🎂🎉🎊🥳

The food was delicious, too!

3 families got together to celebrate our granddaughter’s 6th birthday today. 🎂 💕 We had such a lovely time together. 🥂🍽️☺️

@ScriptingJapan Absolutely fascinating, as always, Wes. 🤩😊. Best writing on the whole dang ‘net.

@StaRiverikebana @yokochin153604 Looks delicious! I know what I’ll be making tomorrow 😆

Dinner tonight Ever since @yokochin153604 posted he Renkon Tsukune I forgot how much I loved them. Made some tonight along with Hayashi Rice. Perfect for a chilly evening!

@StaRiverikebana I have found my people 🙇‍♀️

@CoriWrote Hey Cori 👋 What type of editing are you looking for? (Editorial assessment, Developmental editing, Copy editing, or Proofreading/Fact-checking? Or a combo?)

Writers! I’m looking for an editor for my new locked room thriller and would love to hire based on a recommendation. Who have you used that you love? #fictioneditor #PsychologicalThriller #noveleditor #WritingCommunity

@mikik0307 🤣🤣 we were the same! Ah, guess we won’t move there 🤣 ⚾️

@FreedomAhn Wasn’t it such a crazy game, was it? I kept screaming at TV and scared my son and grandson who happened to be here 🤣🤣 I’m proud of my hometown but they don’t live there and there’s no point of living there 🤣

Can you believe? They both are from my hometown, Iwate!!! 😍

@yurikageyama This is such a great piece, Yuri. Sasaki is fantastic. I’ve been a fan of his forever 🤣 and I’m happy to see his popularity amongst MLB audiences grow. Awesome series.

So I wrote a lot about Ohtani and Yamamoto for my stories on the World Series but didn't get to write much about Sasaki. But I already wrote about him some time back. And so I get to say I told you so: apnews.com/article/world-…

@mikik0307 Me too ❤️ Live the look of surprise on his face when he caught it 😀

I love this scene and can watch over and over. 🥰

@Omni_Hug The second image feels like the wreckage after a storm; it’s raw and full of loss. But the first? It has a quiet grace, a sense of breaking apart only to become something new and beautiful. I definitely prefer the first ⚓️🌊

Title: Shipwreck It seems Japanese people like the first photo. And non Japanese people like the second. Which one do you like?

@mikik0307 Beautiful flowers. I hope you’re feeling better ❤️❤️

Happiness is the blue sky and the lovely smell of osmanthus. Today is a great day! I was able to shampoo my hair for the first time in a week due to the cataract surgery! 😆🧴🚿✨

@postmedianet Looks like my package (worth 100$) left your delivery facility but didn't make it to, "in transit" ...which reads like someone at ur facility walked away with my stuff... I tried reaching out via customer support but y'all don't respond /provide ticket tracking

@AwaisKhanAuthor Ah, but which house!!!??? 🤣🤣 #slytherin We got you 🤣🤣

Given the way things are, I'm better off risking my life with Harry and crew at Hogwarts 😄😅

@MichaelSadgrove This too shall pass. Be easy with it. Find time to enjoy the quiet when it blesses you and remember to smile when you can. Sending love. 🙏

The #FreemanHospital, Newcastle. I shall be admitted as a patient tomorrow. I guess I won’t be posting for a while. Thank you for your company here. See you on the other side.
