Sure, I still have some grading to do, but arriving at work without a clock ticking and starting the morning as slowly as I feel like are priceless things.

Took a ride around the Aichi reservoir for some light cardio this morning. The water level is pretty low as you can see. Thundershowers are nice and all, but we could really use a typhoon or two. #bikeTooter #Japan

Oh putain. Si les militants de salon étaient pas assez pénibles sur les médias sociaux, ils passent à la vitesse supérieure. Une reply woman ("féministe" 🙄) qui me spamme des posts avec de très longues réponses copiées/collées avec les slogans clichés habituels (on lâche rien et patati et […]

Alright, people, I'm gonna do something I rarely do: going to bed right now, at 10! (with a book, I'm not going to sleep right away, but soon enough)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@PhilEdwards/117042977242959896 For those who want to see Mahershala Ali with a... blade.... (he's trolling, right?)

RE: https://wandering.shop/@meredithw/116980053757951866 Yep. That's what I do.

#CrowUpdate (no pics, sorry). Do crows have marital troubles like humans? I'm asking, because in my last update, I told you that I haven't seen both adults in a while. Well, today I can confirm that waking up, I saw Ms Crow and Junior in the park (they were gone by the time I went out), but both […]

Cette carte est gravissime. Mais elle n'a pas fait la une de l'actualité. Pour moi, l'été 2026 marque un tournant. Après celui de 2022, il devient difficile de ne plus parler de "rupture écologique" ou de "point de non retour" pour une partie des milieux aquatiques français. 1/18

I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.

Alright, it's time to vote for the next mascot at my university (I don't know if I'm allowed to share the designs with you, I'll read the fine print when I have a minute). I'm really tempted to vote for the hamachi with olives on its head. (I'm not sure it has no chance to win, and I'm afraid […]

There's this French blog of Q&A about Japan that I follow just in case. Most questions are questions from people who can't use a search engine or people who think that a rando answering them is more trustworthy than the Japanese embassy. Yesterday we had a winner. Someone asking if there were […]

[About Spider-man Brand New Day and its trailer (movie spoilers)] I thing I liked about the trailer is how they're full of misdirections concerning what the story is truly about. On the other hand, it spoils the fact that when we think the movie is almost over and about to wrap up, there is […]

The new Spider-man was good. Really good. I mean, I love the first three Tom Holland movies, but I always thought that MCU Spider-man was a bit too different from comic Spider-man (Raimi's Spider-man is much closer). This one was perfect in that sense, especially the way NY was used as a setting […]

Alright, let's see what this new Spider-Man movie is all about.. (I should go to the movies on Tuesday afternoon more often. The movie is playing in the largest screen in town and there's just a dozen people in a room of several hundred seats that were probably all taken this weekend)

#CrowUpdate Junior and one adult showed up in the park. Yes, I said "one adult" and not mom or dad, because we've reached the time of the year when, unless they're together, I'm having a hard time telling who is who. When it's only one adult, and I don't […] [Original post on setouchi.social]

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@atomicker/117034565558737357 Ah, the famed good living conditions of animals in Japanese zoos...

Thanks to the rain last night it's "only" 28 degrees this morning... Oh... And 85% humidity. When the sun returns (in a couple of hours) it may be brutal.

Je regarde les infos de France 24. À part les élucubrations de Trump, les sujets sont Ceuta, l'UE qui promet de fermer encore plus ses frontières, les incendies partout dans le monde (occidental, le monde, ailleurs on s'en fout) et on parle de sécheresse, interrogations de ceci de cela et pas […]

I think I just converted to a religion... https://note.com/hisanomotohiro/n/nab558b9373f1

Rain! Finally!

So, who's going to die in House of the Dragon today? (As opposed to Game of Thrones, I have read the book, so the deaths are less traumatizing... well, one of them should be no matter what next season)

RE: https://toad.social/@minorusaba/117029339765377810 And seeing how Japanese kids don't really learn critical thinking skills in the first place. I'm doing all I can to prevent the use of AI in my classes, but there is only so much I can do (especially when some of my coworkers have fallen […]

Locals split over artistic restroom with projection mapping | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News and Analysis

TAKAMATSU--On a recent weekday night, only a few people were seen around the restroom at JR Kinashi Station in this capital city of Kagawa Prefecture.

I've had trouble making my son do his summer homework lately (and when we let it fly at the beginning of the vacation, it becomes a big drama at the end of the vacation), but I think I've finally found the trick. I promised him that if he doesn't do his homework of the day in the morning, I'll […]
