News Agents podcast has an interview from today with a man who started out saying I'm not racist but... (yeah right) and specified Jews and Muslims as the immigrants he wants rid of.

Jews are NOT trying to get into the UK in any significant numbers.
2021/22 Census has 277,613 Jews in the UK, 0.4% of the population.
277,613 Jews and the racists are naming us as people to get rid of. We are a TINY minority.

5,847 (0.1%) in Scotland, 2,044 (0.07%) Wales, 439 (0.02%) NI

If you'll be watching some of #JFF2024, what's caught your eye from their offerings? Have you picked one to see first?

I'm going to start with The Lines That Define Me (because I've been waiting for more Japanese coming of age films since the last festival) for morning-ish and maybe The Broken Mariko for afternoon-ish as that will be heavy I think so better to watch early in my #JFilm binge.

Are we happy and excited about a staff engagement session this morning?

No, actually, don't answer that.

Interesting.
“He trained his men for their top-secret commando operations by getting them to climb the walls of Harlech’s medieval castle and break in undetected.
If they succeeded in that part of the mission, they had to immediately run the 38 miles to the top of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and back.”

I'm sat in my office with the window open. I just sneezed for the elebenty-millionth time today, and someone walking past said "bless you" 🤧

wants to double check that one of the sign language interpreters in this is indeed also in Moonlight Chicken... but how to find that bit, oh duh. goes directly the the ep and [x/4] bit she's in 🤦‍♀️
it took me 3 minutes.

anyway, it's a good excuse to share this again for anyone who could use some kind people smiling at them today 💖

have gotten myself hyped up for JFF online so time for lunch and to settle myself down by giving Thai PBS some views to encourage them towards more LGBTQ+ representation.
if i go out to the garden in this state i'll just end up hiding things on myself in the name of tidying up

Morning. I dreamt last night that there was a Masto / Fediverse meet-up, something along the lines of the emfcamp that's happening this weekend, where people were giving talks about various things (Welsh was one, the history of the River Thames was another.) People were hanging out in their various groups and making food together (it was being held in a hostel / big country house type place) and it was just quite cool to be able to come together like that.

#Japan #Film Festival Online 2024 will be Weds 5th-19th June (starts & ends noon JST so effectively the 18th for UK).
It's a great opportunity to see Japanese films which can be hard to find.
I'm going to watch as many as I can and post brief thoughts under #JFF2024 with the aim of helping those with busy lives choose one or two. Happy to have conversations as well.
Please follow the hashtag if you're interested.

@emmaaum I've started watching #TheMidnightRomanceInHagwon and it might be your kind of #drama.

I'm 4 episodes in and there's no violence, no dramatic moments and no traumatic experiences.
It's all about status and competition. Both in the Korean society and among people working for hagwons.
