This is the most unfortunately named brand of Japanese diapers

I miss when goon meant low level mafia thug

@JeremiahDJohns There's even a slang backformed verb チキる/chikiru = chicken out.

日本語
What's extremely funny about this is they don't even have to explain the weirdness of the English idiom 'chicken out', because Japan also has the association of チキン = chicken = coward.
日本語
@MagnanimousTut @JeremiahDJohns No, but they could always start doing so. Chicken = coward is a recent borrowing (1980s?) and only works as チキン/chikin, not native words for the bird like 鶏.

@JeremiahDJohns Do they also associate mules with stubbornness

@GearoidReidy Korean domestic market models had engine immobilisers installed - they mostly skimped out for the US market, where it's not a requirement. Still a bizarre and backwards lawsuit.

Kia and Hyundai together make up nearly 70% of the South Korean car market. Thefts must be off the charts!
NY AG James@NewYorkStateAG
We secured $9 million from @Hyundai and @Kia for failing to protect their cars from theft. Their reckless decision to forgo basic anti-theft measures led to car thefts with deadly consequences. Now, the companies must take measures to protect their vehicles from theft.

@disco___cat Don't forget the Australian GP who gave his 14-year-old son cigarettes to try and make him stop vaping: theguardian.com/australia-news… (one of @cjsnowdon's favourite anecdotes)

She seems to pronounce it /ˈeɪliː/ - I thought Albanese made a flub when he said it like that in his victory speech, but it was correct. Short for Allison according to Wikipedia.

Can someone please confirm if the correct pronunciation of Ali France’s first name is “Ally” or “AH-lly” and have the media use the right one consistently? @alifrance5?

@callistoroll Can we please have a community note explaining that Okinawa is part of Japan and that Airbnb has rules about cleanliness?

Live streamers in Japan won’t use the toilet and instead show off the urination corner at their Airbnb:

@profjonny At this point I'm more interested in seeing how sub-replacement fertility in immigrant feeder nations affects the US/Canada/Australia etc. Nativists might discover immigration isn't so bad, after all.
English
@profjonny And that was an increase over 2023 for South Korea! Still fewer births than in Australia, a country with half the population (which still has a TFR well below replacement).

@disco___cat Japanese people love deep fried food - korokke, tonkatsu, kakiage, karaage, tempura, kakifurai, agedoufu, kushikatsu, agenasu - and you will absolutely see some of those in kids' menus. joyfull.co.jp/menu/grand/kid…

Footage of Japan fans taking litter out of a bag and leaving it all over the stadium whilst laughing and smiling. Disgraceful scenes.

@cjsnowdon This is on the LBC website now (requires a Global account). Starts at 01:03:00 or so. globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/lo…

I’ll be on LBC at 7.05pm talking to Clare Foges, whose views I find abhorrent, about Chris van Tulleken, who I also dislike.

@GunnerTas Ackchyually, the ATAR is calculated over the entire peer group, not just those who received an ATAR. For example, in 2023 in NSW, 17.5% of students who received an ATAR got 90 or above.
English
Only 10% of Australian students achieve an ATAR of 90 or higher. Very concerning.

@MichaelSFuhrer @michael_hoerger @StuartJRitchie @TomChivers I feel like this could be worked into a Studies Show podcast episode about bad COVID-19 modelling.
