Can You Believe This Right Now? | By Lars Nootbaar
日本語版はこちら This time three years ago, I was literally working a 9-to-5 job. Actually, it was more like a 5-to-3. Five in the morning to three in the afternoon. This was in 2020, after the minor league season was canceled. I had moved back home from spring training in Jupiter, Florida, to my parents’ place in El Segundo. And at first it was sick. I’d wake up, throw on some sweats, and head over to US
What I Worked On
February 2021 Before college the two main things I worked on, outside of school, were writing and programming. I didn't write essays. I wrote what beginning writers were supposed to write then, and probably still are: short stories. My stories were awful. They had hardly any plot, just characters with strong feelings, which I imagined made them deep. The first programs I tried writing were on the

The Journalist review – is this Japanese drama’s government more corrupt than ours?
Land around a school has been sold off cheaply in a deal involving the prime minister and his wife, while another politician is under investigation for his involvement in a startup that has received inordinate government subsidies.

Abandoning a Cat
Of course I have a lot of memories of my father. It’s only natural, considering that we lived under the same roof of our not exactly spacious home from the time I was born until I left home at eighteen. And, as is the case with most children and parents, I imagine, some of my memories of my father are happy, some not quite so much. But the memories that remain most vividly in my mind now fall into

Cyberbullying Gone Global: Fediverse Spam and Operation Beleaguer
On February 15th, newly-created Fediverse accounts started posting spam messages from various instances, sending invites to a Discord server for a Japanese troll organization. This spam was widespread across the Fediverse. The posts frame ap12 from “KuronekoServer” as the culprit behind the operation. Looking at their spam content (in Japanese), it’s obvious that it’s not just any typical spam. An

How to Think for Yourself
November 2020 There are some kinds of work that you can't do well without thinking differently from your peers. To be a successful scientist, for example, it's not enough just to be correct. Your ideas have to be both correct and novel. You can't publish papers saying things other people already know. You need to say things no one else has realized yet. The same is true for investors. It's not eno

In the last ten years, the Japanese government made it part of their government mandate to increase the number of foreign students and skilled professionals in Japan. Although the 2020 Olympics have come and gone, the event has created an urgency for companies to increase the number of foreign employees to be able to compete on a competitive global scale.

No More Movies
In my junior year of high school, I started getting into movies. My English teacher, who was a serious film buff, warned me half-jokingly: in film, you start with the best and make your way down to the worst. With literature, you grow as a reader and work your way up to the greatest works, many of which are quite difficult. But movies are much more accessible and don’t require nearly as much time,
Kanagawa Prefecture (神奈川県) is a popular place for Japanese residents to live if they want proximity to Tokyo. During the Kamakura period, Kanagawa was Japan’s economic and political center.

Time to Give Japan Credit for its COVID-19 Response – Tokyo Review
While other nations are praised for controlling the virus, Japan’s low COVID-19 death toll is often treated as a mystery at best, or even as a conspiracy. With the COVID-19 pandemic still ongoing and a strong likelihood of future waves of outbreaks, it’s much too early to start talking about national “winners and losers,” apart from the most extreme cases. This is doubly true since there’s still m
