New Ep! Japanese lawmaker says it would be "absurd" if he got arrested for sleeping with a 14-yr-old. The fascinating, funny Dr. @AlexHambleton talks about this story, and also demonstrates how to deny consent by refusing to let us scan her zairyuu card. japanbyrivercruise.com

A provocative ad in today’s paper by Takarajimasha, a publishing firm. “No vaccine. No medicine. Are we supposed to fight (the coronavirus) with bamboo spears (like Japanese did during WWII)? If nothing is done, politics (more like politicians) will be going to kill us all.”

I am SUGA Yoshihide. I was inaugurated as the 99th Prime Minister of Japan. I am determined to tear down bureaucratic sectionalism, vested interests and notorious habit of following precedents. I’ll advance regulatory reforms and give birth to a cabinet that works for the people.

A useful reminder (via @astanley711) that women in academia are held back by "gender not children." bbc.co.uk/news/amp/education… Women in my field who are in long-term relationships w/o kids take a decade to be promoted from associate to full professor. This will hold true for me. 1/4

Most accurate description EVER of the random, stress-inducing chaos of Japanese supermarkets, right down to the separate, stand-alone crappy, tinny speaker in the fish section or at the checkout (or both)...🤯

This is an incredibly great summary of points made at a very productive panel at #AAS2019 on "The Death of #JapaneseStudies(?)." I was there, but I'm grateful to @paularcurtis for getting this all down.

University of Tokyo posts admissions for 2019. Women represent 17.4%, the least since 2013. Asahi interviews a man who was accepted: "I am going to start my own company and be a CEO!" and a woman who says, "I'm a bit worried" www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/201…
