Lovely 20° day in Tokyo
Sure picked the wrong day to have a quiet walk around the neighborhood: it’s Tokyo Marathon Day! Already seen some mad costumes and all the streets are being blocked off.
Made it to my hotel in Tokyo. What up Famichikis! Been a few months! Gonna hit the konbini and then crawl into bed. Wiped… Cannot believe how many people were lined up at immigration.
Sent my monthly newsletter early since I am about to get on a plane to Japan. See you next month!

Started listening to the long Samir Amin essay from 2004 The Liberal Virus: Permanent War and the Americanization of the World which seems appropriate after finishing the latest Pankaj Mishra book. 📚
In an area of downtown Vancouver that I don’t frequent very often, and has changed significantly since I used to live in the area 25 years ago
Been dreaming and looking at old photos from Hawaiʻi and India. I had some memorable hotel experiences there, and would love to to go back.

Finished The World After Gaza by Pankaj Mishra 📚
I’ll need time to process this. Pankaj Mishra’s righteous teardown of Western tradition (racism, slavery, colonialism) puts Gaza and the Shoah in a wider context as he tries to wrestle it away from politicians with narrow agendas. Astounding work.
I am going to this! In fact, there will be a couple of open social Chads there. Come join us!
