I thought 台本 and 脚本 were synonyms until I noticed my brain reaching for 台本 over 脚本 when translating some questions for an actor today. Which made me curious, and it turns out they are not actually perfect synonyms, and I had internalized the difference without even realizing it.

Finally watched 3 Body Problem but couldn’t get through the first episode of the Tencent version because it was so badly machine translated. Is it like fansubs where the clunky and overly literal translation is a selling point? is that why Reddit likes that version more?
In this episode I take a look at Half is More and RuriDragon. One is an intense and cathartic look at being mixed race in Japan and the other is a magical realist slice of life high school story YouTube: youtu.be/OevTkFJMi9Y?... Podcast: www.buzzsprout.com/2439138/epis...
Heartwarming to see some people finding my latest article for @timeextension.com was enjoyable and helpful. I don't pretend to have all the answers, the secret or the right way, but I definitely have an unlimited amount of interest for learning Japanese and encouraging anyone's language learning!

Tempura and the style of battered, fried fish used for fish and chips were brought to Japan/Britain by 16thC Iberians (in the former case Christian, in the latter Jewish). They have the same origin and are nearly the same dish, but one has immense cultural cachet and the other is routinely mocked.
Japanese tempura is derived from the word “temperance” as it originated after Christian missionaries introduced the idea of not eating meat on Fridays.

The Ghost in the Shell (and the manga) have a Motoko Kusanagi full of humor and soul. And Science Saru managed to give her a sex life that feels organic. I never realized how robotic 90s and 2000s Kusanagi was. Between this and Jaadugar, Science Saru is making the best shows I've seen all year

The Takaichi government being so anti-foreigner has had me pretty anxious about my life here all summer. But recently people seem to be coming out of the woodwork to push back against her. Most recently the prefectural governors of Japan at a recent conference
Threads is such a weird user experience. It’s got more people posting about the storms we’re having in Chiba right now. And even local to my city. But every other post feels like it’s a lie
Translation (and language learning) isn’t swapping one word for another word like you’re decoding a secret message

Anki tip for others struggling with too many decks (aka me): You don't need to make an Anki deck for everything. Focus on making/studying one and finish it before moving onto another. Bonus: They also don't need to be thousands of cards big. Stop adding cards when you feel a deck is a good size.
