How I long for the days of 'Prairie Home Companion', 'The Diane Rehm Show', and 'Fresh Air'. Those Tiny Desk Concerts are not enough to keep me attracted. Oh wow ... just discovered Terry Gross is still around. Good 'bread and circuses'.
In the meantime, was chatting with a friend today in Tachikawa. I speculated that the SNS-savvy 'Japanese First' Sanseito is probably being funded by the LDP ... and my friend agreed. In fact, just last night, she was reading several Japan X posts saying the Sanseito is probably a far-right branch of the LDP and Abe's old 'Nippon Kaigi' cartel ... but as a separate political party, if things go wrong, the LDP and distance itself with plausible deniability.

They do need troops to ensure their surveillance, AI, technofeudal plans go off without much of a hitch, don't they?
