On day 416 in Japan, I finally learned how to spell "怪獣" (kaijū). An arbitrary but fun milestone on the literacy journey.

I see NPR & PBS are leaving Twitter after being mislabeled as state-affiliated (or funded) media. I personally would love to see their counterpart in my area, NHK_News, follow suit.

So far, NHK has not received similar mislabeling as far as I can see, but who knows whether that might change if they ruffle the wrong feathers in this region?

Lunar New Year celebration in 横浜市の中華街。This parade is dragon but I don't mind.

@idoubtit Yeah, their nearest consulate is still all the way over in Houston. Better to route it through local authorities, like you advised.

@idoubtit I'm also conscious of how much of an understatement may exist in the last sentence of that reply.

@idoubtit Ideally it should go back to the embassy or consulate for that country (best chance of it getting back to the owner, or at least notifying them that their citizen is now without it). But not all cases are ideal, and if it's a frequent occurrence at her work site, it might be worth engaging our own State Dept for routing. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/consularnotification/ConsularNotificationandAccess.html

@rjblaskiewicz That sounds like a very specific fraction, so I'd say you've left yourself a fair bit of latitude on price. 😉

New Year Sunrise over Miura Peninsula. Happy New Year, everyone!

@idoubtit That pilot's CO is probably saying the same thing (and then some) between facepalms.

とった!
Always cool to get a new library card, but this is the most excited I've been about acquiring one since I was at a similar reading level in English! #ButterflyInTheSky

@idoubtit I'm starting to gain a deeper appreciation for just how much work it takes for a curiosity-based analysis of a concept to jump the chasm between localized (e.g. linguistic) literacy bubbles. Certainly results in a multiplication of efforts in some bubbles, especially those in which machine translation is particularly under-equipped.

Have been informed I am a close contact. Whelp, no dining out or public transit for me for the next couple weeks. #cycling
