Not a lot of room for humor immediately after a horrible natural disaster. The mild amusements came when the whole nation couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of nothing but the same three AC Japan commercials playing for weeks, and the communal “ghost tremors” we all experienced long after the quake.

You would seriously feel your own heart beating and it would trigger a panic response.

I was in Ibaraki for this earthquake. One of the only times in my life I was ready to accept that it was the end for me.

Thankfully we didn’t get the worst of it where I was, but it was a crazy time for everyone.

Po po po po~n.

I found it off-putting that the Barbie movie’s solution to its dilemma was voter suppression.

Feels like every survey in the last 12 years is 67% of people claim to be not crazy and 33% people are psychotic. Except for voting, apparently.

The age bit here isn’t a big deal. This just catches national law up to the already lower end of prefectural laws (all 16 to 18 I think). The bigger change is that the victim no longer needs to prove they physically fought back for it to be considered non-consentual.
