Posts on X (formerly Twitter) containing photos of Israeli civilians who were shot and killed while at a bus stop have been removed from view one after another for violating the X rules.
X is still doing some work.
As a source of information, accounts of Japanese residents in Israel are useless. Because they are too biased (they are stuck in a victim mindset that is punishing others).
I have blocked these Israeli Japanese accounts, along with similarly biased pro-Palestinian accounts(academics and activists).
Military "otaku" accounts from various countries are providing neutral and accurate information. Reporters from major media outlets in Western countries can be trusted to assess the situation.

This is not directly related to the current armed conflict.
A person who live in Israel, knowing the real situation of the society to the point of disgust, is praising Hiroki Higashi who repeatedly make unrealistic statements.
I wonder why. Is it a kind of "escape from reality?"
That person and I stopped following each other on ex-Twitter a few years ago.
By the way, that person's son was a military officer in the intelligence division of the Israel Defense Forces. I hope he's okay.

Murder and looting by Myanmar's military continues.
In Sarlingyi, the army killed 1 person, stole public property in the village, and wrote threatening letters(Khit Thit)
https://yktnews.com/2023/10/125483/
"The terrorist army column raided a village and took 9 TV sets, 2 boxes of rice, motor oil, 27 pounds of cooking oil, clothes, 7 sheep and goats(killed and eaten)." and "1 gold chain, 2 gold rings, 8 gold bracelets, money and another 2 goats were taken."
According to the article, young USDP members across Myanmar are being recruited by military personnel to apply for courses that allow them to study at Japanese language schools and get jobs in Japan.
Some people go to Japan in this way, but it seems that more and more of them are being sent directly to military training grounds instead of going to school.
The Japanese language school involved in this scheme is reportedly MYANMAR SANKOU.

Sad story.
Father Andriy and son Denis were in Poland. They returned to their home countries and both went to war as soldiers.
Shortly after the war began, Andriy received a fatal wound in his neck and died in battle. He was buried in his birthlace, the village of Groza in the Kharkiv region.

A 10-year-old boy was killed as a result of a Russian strike on Kharkiv.
In the morning, Russia launched two missile strikes on the city. The child's body was found under the rubble. Additionally, 16 people were injured, including an 11-month-old child.

"I had no prior experience, and the military training didn’t last long because there was very high demand for new recruits on the front lines. For each group sent from our training centre, about 50% died. So, I calculated that after five deployments, you have less than a 5% survival probability."
"In the military, any skill can be an advantage, including scientific skills. Several scientists came to Ukraine to fight as volunteers, including quite a few from abroad."

He said at a previous press conference:
"Instead of treating symptoms after getting sick, we will switch to medical care that helps people stay healthy, and we will reform the medical and insurance systems to do that.This is an area where the private sector will lead and invest. So, what if instead of universal health insurance, the private sector took charge of this field?"
Let's try to translate his argument.
He certainly does not deny the Japan's universal health insurance system.
What he is advocating is;
In addition to the standard medical care provided by the universal health insurance system, "I would like to see the development of advanced medical care that only the rich can afford."
:mastorage:
We do not advocate "privatization" of universal health insurance; Tsuyoshi Niinami, chairperson of the Japan Association of Corporate Executives, explains, "It's a wonderful system that we can be proud of around the world." (Tokyo Shimbun)

There is a lot of talk about whether the official Japanese account of the Republic of Nauru Tourism Office https://twitter.com/nauru_japan will end its activities or continue to operate.
Although this account is very popular, it should be noted that the Republic of Nauru is a "concentration camp" that isolates asylum seekers to Australia, The account
is a "propaganda" measure that hides the dark side of the country.
Although the Australian government is responsible for the inhumanity of the conditions in Nauru's refugee detention facilities, the government of the Republic of Nauru is by no means innocent by refusing to deport doctors who are providing relief work.
Last year, Japan's NHK reported on the detention facilities.

In connection with this Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology, there are some academics and people in the scientific industry who are hostile to the concept of being "useful(役に立つ)." Such an attitude is very unpleasant and depressing.
Researchers who work without the idea of being "useful" = "promoting the welfare of others" will either become narrow-minded nerds or have no shame in speaking out extreme opinions.
Why is basic research called "basic" research? This is because there is a world of "applications".
When we exclude the notion of "useful(役に立つ)'', what we find is not "basic" research but unchecked intellectual decadence.
"Another concern is what the content of the settlement will be."
"It would be problematic if it included statements such as "we will not disclose the details of the settlement" or "we will not make any communications or comments regarding this matter."
If Johnny's is trying to calm down such a large-scale and continuous sexual assault incident by its founder in the name of helping victims, that would also be a problem."(Eito Suzuki)

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:
If we pull the plug on Ukraine, it will be 10 times worse than in Afghanistan.
This would be a death sentence for Taiwan.
You missed the whole of World War II if you don't know how this movie ends.
If Ukraine can beat Russia, China is less likely to invade Taiwan.
