A map of current snow build-up across Japan. I think does a great job of showing the incredible "yukiguni" lake effect Japan receives on its Sea of Japan/East Sea side. Some of the deepest snowdrifts in the world, with incredible amounts falling in 24 hours. Meanwhile, Tokyo is completely dry.

Trump’s executive orders have blocked entrance to the country for more than 110,000 refugees, including thousands of Afghans who worked with the U.S. military. “We feel betrayed,” said one Afghan American soldier. With @texastribune.org

I occasionally speak to my phone like "hey google set a timer for 20 minutes" or whatever, a useful thing Google spent years making good enough. Then they swapped it out for "Gemini" which if I say that to it it goes "I can't do that" and gives a page of wrong instructions on how to set my own timer

just the head of Udon comics telling folks there's no DEI in Street Fighter lol

DEI is core to Street Fighter as a concept and part of the reason why it's had such a wide and enduring appeal. Am I crazy or has nobody ever complained about shit like that until very recently? Like, it's a 35-year-old franchise and I've never heard this complaint before.

Uh I fucked up my Japan trip hotel bookings again. Gonna have to leave Osaka in the morning and check in at Kumamoto the same day. So is it possible to visit Himeji castle and Hiroshima monument in one day along the way?

My first Civ 7 victory. Went Khmer/Ming/Siam. Got scientific victory in 1890s. Abused the hell out of influence system. Siam felt a bit overpowered with independent states.

They misspelled Executive.

Bootlegged/ripoff Doraemon in Thailand in the 1980-1990 were wild, man

at some point the swirly glasses girl was obliterated from existence, effectively extinct in the wild since 1999 only a few remain in captivity

In 1989 (during the Reagan/Bush era), I worked with a USAID subcontractor to design a sewer treatment plant in Cairo. As witness, I observed how it positively impacted the perception of the U.S.—Reagan agreed.

This is fucking incredible.

Spent years trying to warn people that Senator Warner is terrible, and had lots of people try to tell me he's one of the good guys. Also, when one of his staffers went around defaming me to my friends, they forward that shit to me...

Democratic lawmakers, why isn't this the messaging you're using? This took me like 10 minutes to do in Canva.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Alright, I got my Kirby Cafe reservation for the next Japan trip this March 🥲

Bought Civ 7, it's... fine. Have to unlearn a lot of stuffs. Crisis is pretty manageable when you found out you should just focus on happiness

this is fucking insane

Quake is such an MVP card

Happy Valentines Day from this gentleman

It’s amazing that one person can run six companies, manage the entire federal bureaucracy, and be model parent to 13 children. Truly a triumph of time management.

Jacobs: It's so funny to me that my colleagues on the other side spent 30 minutes talking about how we don't want unelected bureaucrats making these rules when they're literally allowing a unelected Elon Musk run roughshod over congress' power of the purse

Look at this new work of art I made yesterday. 😂 One thing that often happens is people get very confused about what is wuxia, xianxia, and xuanhuan due to lack of understanding about the terms. So I made this venn diagram to help. 😂

I think everyone know the perfectly logical explanation, but saying it out loud is very cruel

Lol. No lies detected #rivian

Recently, one of our clients had to ask game localization agency LocalizeDirect to remove several of their games from their online portfolio, as they had not in fact worked on those games. 🧵⬇️

You've always got to ask localizers up front whether they will provide you with credits. We made this mistake before, also with localizedirect, which is reflected in the Hyper Gunsport credits from @necrosoftgames.com
