Not sure I’d call Japan’s (recently broken) pacifist promise to not export lethal weapons after WW2 “onerous”. This article does, though. I’d say limiting the export of lethal weapons is an admirable thing in a world wracked and ruined by armed violence.

Ukraine's relations with Japan have not met Kyiv's "high expectations," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, months after Tokyo eased some of its onerous restrictions on the export of lethal weapons. 👉 ebx.sh/vefthn

Good morning. Had a nice walk yesterday, around the new Takanawa Gateway City area. About 4kms south of where I live. Still lots to be finished there. But much to explore. Here's the new MoN Takanawa:The Museum of Narratives building. See the ALT text for more details. Love and peace ❤️🙏

The MoN (Museum of Narratives) building at the new Takanawa Gateway City development, between Shinagawa and Mita, here in Tokyo. Have watched this development spring up over the last ten years or more. On what used to be a huge railway marshalling yard. Underneath this area they found sections of the embankment of the first railway in Japan, which ran from the redbrick warehouses in Yokohama to Shimbashi. This photo is a panorama merged from four separate vertical photos, made with an infrared converted Nikon D800e camera. I have created my own monochrome Picture Control setting. So the monochrome is done in-camera. I've just stitched the individual photos and added the border in Photoshop.

Yeesh. STFU. “subsidizing discounts they may never even use” This is literally what taxes are for. And there’s plenty of rich people who aren’t paying their share. America can always find money to fight foreign wars no one wants. Feeding people seems like a much better use of the money.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Tread carefully, Mr.Schneider and @bsky.app Tolerance for diversity and intolerance for bullying and fascism do not a bubble make. If this place goes to the wall, I’m out of social networks for good. This is pretty much the only one I use anyway and it’ll be my last.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Good morning! Scorching day here in Tokyo. The 蝉 (cicadas) are singing themselves to death. Literally. Eldest son, Joe, coming to our place soon, with his wife and my granddaughter, Emma. Myself and my my youngest, Charlie, are off to do a shoot together later. Photo details in ALT. Luv&peace ❤️🙏
