A wild scene in a Tokyo courtroom today: 「At the beginning of the trial, the presiding judge asked the defendant whether the charges against him were accurate. Instead of answering, the defendant stood up and took what appeared to be a paper Japanese national flag from an envelope-like object.
“This is a Japanese national flag made in accordance with the Act on National Flag and Anthem,” he declared, before tearing up two flags in quick succession. The pieces of paper scattered across the courtroom floor.
He then produced a third flag, took a brown substance resembling chocolate out of his trousers, and stuffed it into his mouth. After wiping his mouth with the flag, he stated, “That’s all.”」 The trial was subsequently suspended for approximately 30 minutes. The man is on trial for throwing Molotov cocktails at the LDP headquarters and ramming his car into a barrier in front of the PM’s residence in 2024.

Best line I’ve heard in a LONG time
trying to workshop other predators with mismatched herd prey:
the bear doesn’t concern itself with the opinions of gazelles
the jaguar doesn’t concern itself with the opinions of cows
the shark doesn’t concern itself with the opinions of clownfish
the hippo doesn’t concern itself with the opinions of penguins
the otter doesn’t concern itself with the opinions of tuna
(they don’t got internet in westeros situation imo)
no half measures!
Fucking legend
TL note: this is considered a grave social faux pas in Japanese culture
