Oops, I meant Shibuya
It has only happened to me once. In Shinjuku, near the Inokashira-sen exit. I was staring at my phone and in the way, and whoever bumped me obviously wanted to send a message.
Message received, loud and clear.
After reading the article, I realize that's only one type of bumping...
Possibly the best thing I've read about ChatGPT yet.

「大陸での日中戦争、真珠湾攻撃に始まる日米戦争、東南アジアでの日英戦争、原爆投下、敗戦前後の日ソ戦争。米英中ソとの複合戦争はいかに推移し、度重なる和平工作にもかかわらず、なぜ早期に終戦できなかったか。反対に本土決戦を目前に、なぜ「聖断」で終戦が可能となったか。新史料をふまえ、昭和天皇・近衛文麿・木戸幸一・鈴木貫太郎らの足跡を辿り、日本が対米和平を優先して大戦争を終結させた軌跡を巨細に描く」 @jeremyyellen.bsky.social

So there’s breathing room.
I imagine that there will now have to be in every district office an ornery kanji kentei master in a smoky dark room who proclaims what passes and what does not
So 当て字 is no longer possible? Or only for extreme cases?

「日露戦で満蒙権益を獲得した日本は、その維持を最重要課題として勢力拡張に舵を切る。だが国益追求に邁進する外務省は、次々と変化する情勢の中で誤算を重ね、窮地を打開するため無謀な秩序構想を練り上げていく。小村寿太郎から幣原喜重郎、重光葵まで、国際派エリートたちが陥った「失敗の本質」を外交史料から炙り出す」 @jeremyyellen.bsky.social www.shinchosha.co.jp/book/603926/
I was surprised and grateful to learn that the first (and a splendid) review of JAPAN AT WAR, 1914-1952, came out in the Chinese edition of The Economist. Yay!

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.
Thanks!
If you don’t mind, what RSS reader do you use?
This article is definitely worth your time.
Paywall protected so can’t read, but wouldn’t this be counterproductive? Other nations rely on a strong dollar and strong US economy to absorb imports. The weakening dollar and economic volatility would affect everyone… a cure that’s worse than the sickness, so to speak.
Awesome thread on an event of critical importance in Japanese political and military history
Congratulations Roger!

Thanks for the heads up.
It gets even more real when you realize that your students are closer in age to your children than they are to you…
Different topic, but when I research via microfilm the text is in such constant motion that I end up seasick in the archives
My daughter said one of her middle school teachers is always saying that “to be cringe is to be free” and damn if that ain’t a quality educator meeting these kids where they’re at and telling them something they really need to hear.
Oops. Was there a thread that I missed?
Or is this a response to something?
After the 2.26 Incident in 1936. From that point on the army was dominated by sectionalism instead of factionalism
