Apart from the fact this is total bullshit. And that the press just laps it up and reproduces it without question. Apart from the fact this is all because they need more money. I mean, you know, if it’s that dangerous, just unplug it.

Good morning. Hope that everyone here in Japan had a good Silver Week. Two days of work and then it's the weekend again. Yay! And then there's another typhoon. Yay! As the weather doesn't know whether it's coming or going, thought I'd post this pic from 2012. Details in the ALT text. ❤️🙏
Great thread for anyone needing to cut 127 and 16mm film.
Mary Jo Richards@mjrichards.bsky.social · 3h agoI bought this daylight film slitter from a Japanese seller on eBay that takes a roll of 120 film and slits it into a roll of 127 film and a roll of 16mm film. I had to buy and insert the Olfa AK5 blade into the 3D printed device myself as he couldn’t ship it with the blade, but it worked perfectly!
The 312B has always been my favourite. The shape, the sound. Nothing bettered it. Ever. I’d seen pieces of this film before but never the entire thing. So good. Had me in tears in a few places. youtu.be/HCMIuG6RAak?...

Want to give a big hug to everyone else out there who’s looking at the world right now and not liking what they see. Understanding we’re not all in the same boat but that we are in the same storm is the key. Empathy, although out of fashion right now, is crucial. We’re different. But the same. ❤️🙏🏻🤘
Kind of. But it’s important to understand who owns “the media”. The 0.1%. That’s who owns the media. And supporting the left wing isn’t going to work out well for them. So they support the right wing.
SMD@anothersmd.bsky.social · 20h agoThe whole "small boats" issue is a problem created out of thin air by successive right wing governments and amplified by a racist media who don't want a single brown person in this country. It's so simple it fits in one post and I can add this sentence too.
Despite the rain and incessant grey, went for a walk and picked up a few bits of food shopping. Covered myself in mosquito repellent. Only place I didn’t spray was under my watch strap. So, doubtless you can guess where I got two huge and crazy itchy bites? #FuckMosquitoes #WhyMosquitoes

A couple from an afternoon out with my sons back in 2024. Nice not to be driving. So I made a series out of shooting from the car window. More here at my blog: blog.alfiegoodrich.com/portfolio/mi...
This was the era when car brochure photography and design - and a lot of other print design - peaked. And the era I became aware and started soaking it all up.
Andy@carbrochureaddict.bsky.social · 2d agoPeugeot's expansion gathered pace in the early '70s with the launch of the company's first post-war small car, the 954cc 104 saloon. Its 1974 French brochure cover placed the model in the brave new world of the era's architecture and fashion. #weirdcarbs
Yet again Chiba has been hit dreadfully hard by the recent rains and typhoon. Landslides in Kominato, Kamogawa, were devastating. Know the area fairly well as it’s near some lovely bays I enjoy visiting. Myonoura Bay in particular. Very sad. Thoughts with all affected 🙏🏻💔 youtu.be/8jGgfFXLHBQ?...

Good morning. Grey and rainy day here in Tokyo. It’s also a public holiday marking the Autumn Equinox. Hence the theme of my accompanying photos. May try to drag my arse outside despite the weather. But, whatever you’re up to today, have a good one. Luv&peace 🙏🏻❤️
Amongst other offences he’s potentially committing (criminal damage, attempted murder) this is politically and racially motivated terrorism. But yes, Britain, do continue to prioritise the arrest of 90 year-old grannies for holding anti-genocide placards.
Mark Lawson@marklawsonkernow.bsky.social · yesterdayNoting that video claims it was an RNLI dingy but looks like it was the migrant dingy he slashed. LBC has the report www.lbc.co.uk/article/dann... expect @mrjamesob.bsky.social will have thoughts on Wednesday. We’re all appalled.
Sections 5 and 6 in this thread in particular highlight a disturbing escalation in the violence Thomas and his racist thugs will commit. If left unchecked, this will get far worse.
Emma Yeomans@yeomans.bsky.social · yesterdayWorrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.
Hope everyone here in Tokyo enjoyed that sunny day yesterday. Because we’re back to another ten days of this….
The fact Netanyahu was told about the Oct 7th attacks beforehand then did nothing would be shocking enough. However, Qatar had brokered the release of all hostages held by Hamas by 7pm on 7th October, 2023. Israel were told. They weren’t interested. youtu.be/sS1XLSEnjyE?...

The link here takes you directly to 6’20” in the video. Traffic lights go green. But there is an ambulance obviously coming through the junction. One driver ignores it and is “tooted” by the horn of a car that waited. Down the road, the guy who drove through goes crazy. youtu.be/JyaOL6WCto4?...

As usual, the tail of the typhoon is producing some strong winds. Peaking at around 100kph in our neighbourhood right now.
Would advise anyone in Tokyo outdoors, or needing to go outdoors, to be inside by 4pm. Cos the rain is gonna get worse and be at its peak between 4 and 7.
Have a lot of respect for Peter Oborne and he is 100% spot-on here. For anyone who cares about Britain, a must-watch. Farage and Reform are protected and funded by the oligarchy. If not confronted, Britain is lost. youtu.be/dSNFNYFdvp4?...
