> The prime target was South Vietnam. The aggression later spread to the North, then to the remote peasant society of northern Laos, and finally to rural Cambodia, which was bombed at the stunning level of all allied air operations in the Pacific region during World War II, including the two atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In this, ’s orders were being carried out — “anything that flies on anything that moves” — a call for genocide that is rare in the historical record. Little of this is remembered.

> .. we are failing to commemorate the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s decision to launch the most destructive and murderous act of aggression of the post-World War II period: the invasion of South Vietnam, later all of Indochina, leaving millions dead and four countries devastated, with casualties still mounting from the long-term effects of drenching with some of the most lethal carcinogens known, undertaken to destroy ground cover and food crops.

-傷を照らし、回復を導く灯……ノーベル文学賞受賞記念-
> 2024年ノーベル文学賞受賞記念
傷をつくるのも癒すのも同じ人間であるということを、 ハン・ガンは果てしないスペクトラムとして物語の中に描き出す。『菜食主義者』『少年が来る』『別れを告げない』『すべての、白いものたちの』……数々の名作によって導き出されてきた他者への愛が、惨たらしい暴力の中にある人間の生の儚さを照らす灯として、いま世界中で必要とされている。ハン・ガンの苛烈かつ静謐な作品風景に迫り、さまざまな痛みと回復の過程を見つめる。

With the poetry group we talked about how you could get drafted into the military and get a military for killing people you don't know in other countries but you end up in prison for killing some nearby guy that you know deserves it.. So I had to mention the Thomas Hardy poem "The Man He Killed" and just now find Japanese translations.

"Concern about the government’s revived push for nuclear energy grew after a magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit Japan’s Noto Peninsula on Jan. 1, 2024, killing more than 400 people and damaging more than 100,000 structures. The quake caused minor damage to two nearby nuclear facilities, and evacuation plans for the region were found to be inadequate."

"Data cover ups and mistakes by the operator" might be common enough in the nuclear industry for the case to be considered "normal"

> The verdict comes after more than eight years of safety reviews that were repeatedly disrupted by data coverups and mistakes by the operator, Yamanaka said. He called the case “abnormal” and urged the utility to take the result seriously.

I tested Threads. In my experience, this is how Threads compare to Mastodon:

— The algorithm decides if your content is visible to others. Some content gets zero exposure for reasons which are not transparent.

— Sharing links to other platforms makes the algorithm suppress your content's visibility.

— Slower to use.

— Only one app allowed, and it does not support iPads and other tablets.

— Ads are coming in early 2025.

— You cannot run your own server.

— Your data is mined by Zuckerberg.

> Vijay Prashad, director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, says the “bellicose” tone out of Washington is not because the U.S. sees China as a military threat, but because China threatens U.S. dominance in the scientific, technological and diplomatic spheres. “It’s very chilling what the U.S. government is doing in ramping up this cold war,” says #Prashad.

> In 1949, China declared independence, an event known in Western discourse as “the #LossOfChina” — in the U.S., with bitter recriminations and conflict over who was responsible for that loss. The terminology is revealing. It is only possible to lose something that one owns. The tacit assumption was that the #USA owned #China, by right, along with most of
