@DamianFlanagan As a Japan-focus book editor it's been my experience that every subject area demands a deep dive into practice, terminology, history, and nuance. I'd learn a ton and then have to forget everything for the next project.

In my Mainichi column this week…Is there such a thing any more as an “Expert on Japan”? What do you think? mainichi.jp/english/articl…

@atrupar Just checked. It's real. Good grief.

@atrupar Someone must have written this as a prank for Melania to deliver, who might be unaware of how ludicrous its tone is. And who says 'begat' anymore? And is this real and not AI?

Melania Trump glazes herself: "As a visionary, I know success is not born overnight. Often alone at the top, I follow my passion, listen to my instinct, and always maintain a laser focus."

#bariweiss So Stephen Miller's "thoughtful" remarks on civilizational purity will somehow make this abomination acceptable? You are a sell-out who has ruined CBS News's decades-long journalistic reputation. muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-60…

@DeptofWar Everybody's saying that Hegseth is a dishonorable fool and a very low IQ individual.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures. This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality. Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings. The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels. All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.

Kimmel. Colbert. Suits against the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and 60 Minutes. Extorting settlements from CBS, ABC, and others. Blocking the AP's access to the White House. This administration is responsible for the most blatant attacks on the free press in American history. What will be left of the First Amendment when he’s done?

Time to boycott @disney. Avoid its theme parks and stop dressing your daughters as princesses. @jimmykimmel

Pray without ceasing.

@tedcruz @tedcruz you are a simply awful human being, no offense

I agree. You should wear a hijab every day because you are so damn decent. Never mind the rights of women in New York…not your concern.

This deluded, venal, amoral, and repulsive human being will destroy the world. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ag…
