Executing a highly coordinated multi-city international move during a heat dome while heavily jet lagged… do not recommend 🙅‍♂️

For our last night in #Japan we went down to Nanba. Ate dinner at Kani Dōraku HQ and watched the crowds on Ebisu bridge taking photos of Glico Man. Then down Dotombori to a shrine where you pour water on completely mossed up Buddhist statues #Osaka #lichensubscribe

Got a massage after this. The masseur came out and looked like a young Bolo Yeung! Huge forearms and vintage 1988 Bloodsport mullet! But he was gentle, and didn’t knock me off the platform once 💆‍♂️ #RelaxationKumite

Bluesky stepped up to support the community by sponsoring the #LOCALHOSTVan social. @bnewbold.net is attending #IETF120 this month, and will be giving us a talk at the LOCALHOST Social on Thursday July 25th. I hope to see you there and at other LOCALHOST events (as well as at the IETF meeting!)

Last night in Sakuranomiya. The shippers took our luggage to the airport. Tomorrow the junkers come to take away the rest of our stuff. We go to the hotel tomorrow. This was a great neighbourhood, and this apartment gave us a ton of epic sunsets. 😍 #Osaka #sunset

From butoh dance to J-pop, see old traditions and modern arts come together at Canada’s largest and longest-running celebration of Japanese Canadian arts and culture, the Powell Street Festival.

Returning to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside this August. 🐉

Couple more holy spots here in the Nanba area: Mitsudera has a hotel built OVERTOP of it. This wooden temple survived the WW2 bombings so they are protecting it. Then of course you have his worship the Glico Man and some excellent takoyaki signage 😉 #Japan #Osaka

Blue sky over Abeno Harukas, second tallest “building” in Japan until last year at 300m.

I stayed here a while back and went to the top. 😱

The entire genre of dancehall (more or less) came about when a reggae producer repurposed a "rock" beat he accidentally discovered on a casio kid's toy keyboard. People recently discovered the long-anonymous Japanese woman who programmed the beat was in fact a huge reggae fan and scholar.

Quizzing my daughter about football. The only thing she knows she learned from the Blue Lock anime, and she showing big attitude:

Me: “Explain the Offside Trap”

Her: “That’s the little cage at the side of the field, right?”

Me: 💀 💀 💀
