It's certainly having an adverse effect on others' spelling, grammar, and punctuation, but not mine.

The number of rice paddies in very rural Iwate, where I live, has dramatically decreased over the past several years. I don't know if it's because of farmers retiring or some government policy, but the decrease is real. Fewer paddies, less rice. That's at least part of the reason.

So do the French want brownie points for low emissions or athletes collapsing under the heat and humidity?

Oh, just screw it all and make the Olympics obsolete. I'm not going to watch any of it, nor will the vast majority of humanity. Just get rid of it.

They may be talking recyclable paper now, but don't be fooled. The tree-huggers will make their own propaganda known in time. Amazon should do what it thinks best and let the consumer decide what they want, not some silly advocacy group.

This is all 100% on Hamas. They attacked innocents. They put their own people, many of whom are innocents, in harm's way as human shields. This can end tomorrow if Hamas releases all hostages and makes a complete, unconditional surrender. Israel has every right to protect its citizens and its nation. Might doesn't make right, but Right dies make Might, and Israel is in the right and will use its might to make things right.

I like Disney, I like Star Wars, and I like freedom. To each their own.

I don't trust any reports of numbers, or anything really, from Gaza (read Hamas) officials of any kind.

More word salad from the Globe Trotter in Chief.

Others haven't had their bribes to Bach properly wired in. As soon as he gets his money, they'll be let in as well.

The only deal to be made is for all hostages to be returned and for Hamas to make a complete and unconditional surrender. Then they can talk. Until then, the cowardly Hamas will continue to use their own people as human shields. This conflict is 100% on Hamas. Israel will prevail.

Since when is making sweets considered a skill? Turn on the machine and pump them out.

And only one of them with enough sense to lose the mask in this heat.

So they want to raise prices hoping more people will use their services? What could go wrong?

I already know who to watch. NO ONE. Track and field, especially long distance running, is EXTREMELY boring.

Go Israel!

All of this is on the hatred-filled Hamas terrorists.

They can end this right now by releasing all hostages and making a complete surrender.

Instead, they cowardly hide behind their own people.

Israel will prevail. Hamas will be soundly defeated.

AI couldn't do much worse.

It's going to be difficult to stop it in light of the other article about the mayor of Yokosuka's use of AI to make speeches in English. AI is a tool that can be used for good or ill. I don't see how anyone can stop it. I'm not sure I want it to be stopped. We'll all just have to be better at detecting what is real and what is not.

This will help my daughter and her husband who blessed us with our first grandchild. He is the most precious thing in the world. But I know it isn't enough for most people. It isn't enough for my daughter and her family. And I don't see it having any impact on the declining birthrate. My daughter had a baby despite the government, not because of it.

Victim blaming. Three years for the death of a 9-year-old girl is a joke. Suspending the sentence is an absolute insult.

So the Palestinians, the aggressors, are invited, but Israel, the victim, is not? Nagasaki needs to read a newspaper and do the right thing.

Can't he be charged with disturbing the peace or something?

A single school bus (van) to the next town over would be a much more effective use of taxpayer money and lead to a better chance of socializing with others. I feel sorry that this kid's father is so selfish to keep her from reaching her full potential.

They are protesting the wrong group. The terrorist group Hamas is 100% to blame for what is going on. Release all hostages and make a complete, unconditional surrender, and it will be over.

Must be a slow news day for this to be the Top Story. I suppose that's a good thing. Better than war or Biden. Plus, I love cats.

That 35,000 killed number hasn't increased in quite some time. It is far from the genocide some claim. Israel is lawfully defending its citizenry, and Hamas is cowardly putting innocent Palestinians in harms way. Hamas should immediately release all hostages and make a complete, unconditional surrender. That would bring an immediate end to Israel having to defend itself. But since Hamas is a hateful terrorist organization, I can only hope that Israel will keep up the good fight until those despicable Hamas terrorists are completely defeated.

I think you guys are confusing the word "fermented" (発酵された) with "rotten" (腐っている). You wouldn't eat rotten bread, would you? Why do you eat rotten beans? I love edamame. To purposely destroy soy beans should be a crime.

Why is a Shinto mikoshi being carried to a Buddhist temple? I know that Asakusa Shrine is right next door to Senso-ji Temple, but someone seems to be mixing up their religions. Good thing I'm atheist and don't have to worry about such superstitious rituals.

Too bad there isn't any video of the incident.

After the political funds scandal was revealed late last year, the support rate for Kishida's cabinet, launched in October 2021, dropped below what is widely recognized as the "danger level" of 30 percent and hit an all-time low in March at 20.1 percent.

So I take it this means that the new "danger level" is 20%, since he doesn't seem to feel in any danger. How low can you go?

And here I was hoping to get some inspiration. JT comments never disappoint.
