the ability to be enthusiastic about what you do, the determination to do your best... It felt in some ways as if Japan was my ancestral home. The values I believe in are still being valued in Japan.

- Arsene Wenger
"It's one of my responsibilities to not show too much of what I feel.

"It helped me a lot to go to Japan, where I was manager of Grampus Eight. Everybody there is controlled. They laugh at you if you show emotion."

I also found that idea extremely generous. Only being a conveyor belt in history, as a part of a movement that is much larger than you are. Being part of something that is beyond you. Unfortunately, we live too often with the idea that the world is going to stop after us

Some technology is impossible or economically unviable(flying cars)

Level 5 autonomy belongs in same realm as do several of Musk's transit schemes
Hyping such BS leads to death of viable alternatives at hands of likes of Randal O'Toole thx to retard voters
Musk said front of some international astronautical congress

BFR -Earth to Earth: BUSTED!

No1 called him out on it & instead it got hyped
I hope no1 in gov't takes it seriously & delays or stops building normal airports because this will be reality soon
Regular cars themselves were originally hyped with things like "will free man from drudgery of walking/cycling/slow travel/presence of strangers". That worked for a time when 20% of pop had them but when almost every1 gets a car, it won't work in cities because a city by def is

Medicine in Japan is overwhelmingly staffed by Japanese partly because of this. They don't have to import foreigners to cover female docs working part time. Singapore had explicit quotas in favor of men for same reason, they didn't want to subsidize edu of
a demographic they knew would likely work part time in greater numbers. NHS by contrast keeps recruiting foreigners to cover shortages

You might have heard that #Japan is set to resume commercial whaling. The truth is, they never quit commercial whaling, they have just called it "research" whaling since the late 80s, but it's been a commercial venture despite the fake name. So why are they now making the change?
The primary reason comes with the aging factory vessel, the Nisshin Maru, which is the center of the whaling fleet when hunting whales in the Southern Ocean. This ship was built in 1987 and it's getting old. Last year, Japan announced they were retiring this ship and building new
What most people do not know however, is that other than the whaling in the Southern Ocean, Japan has always had a second whaling fleet that hunts whales in Japanese waters of the North Pacific! This second fleet is made of much smaller vessels and there is no "mother ship".

Can someone explain to me when the @GOP stopped ignoring fiscal responsibility?
Can someone explain to me why @GOP claimed to be the party of Moral Values but continues to support a person like @realDonaldTrump?

Can you explain to me why you wouldn't want another party in power for the Senate or House when you believe in the Constitution and checks and balances?

no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

Isamu Noguchi (Japanese sculptor) with “Undine” (1925)

Undine = (Nadja)

This 1926 work, the only full-figure sculpture by the artist known to still exist, reveals the young Noguchi’s mastery of traditional form.

[THREAD] I’d like to take a break from sharing & commenting on political news reports for a moment & just offer some personal observations from where I sit in the DOJ

As always, I don’t speak for the @TheJusticeDept. These are just my personal thoughts, feelings, & observations
I’ve worked in multiple parts of the DOJ, including in the @FBI. I worked closely with Mueller, and like to feel like I got to know him fairly well. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him, and for his integrity
But more importantly, I got to know the FBI and other parts of DOJ. Wording it that way is part of our current problem, though. There is no “FBI” and “DOJ”. They aren’t monolithic beings with single thoughts. There are the *people* who work at the FBI and DOJ
