Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:

- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital

SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

Interesting, but it provides little information and no way to find more.

TheʿAjamī script of Africa and the Sorabé manuscripts of Madagascar. The most widely used writing system in pre-colonial Africa was the ʿAjamī script.

“The rich archival collections of Ajami literature refute the pervasive myth of Africa’s supposed illiteracy that is perpetuated by the overemphasis on African oral traditions in academia and the privileging of external sources over local chronicles.”

Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs The selective revision of beliefs in light of new evidence has been considered one of the hallmarks of human-level rationality. However, tests of this ability in other species are lacking. We examined...

Even chimpanzees think rationally and weigh the evidence when making a choice ;-)

Takaichi is accelerating it instead. Enemies are useful to authoritarians. She can blame LDP's problems on foreigners, or use foreigners to hide their problems.

Even the Asahi's reporters don't read their own archives.

I am watching for media treatments of religious abuse but haven't seen any yet. They are staying withing the MOJ's point of that this is a criminal case and only criminology experts need to be consulted.

Shinzo Abe Killer’s Trial Is Exposing the Christian Cult Entrenched in Japanese Politics Tetsuya Yamagami is now on trial for the assassination of Shinzo Abe. He says he was motivated by Abe's ties to the Moonies.

A piece from the trial of Testsuya Yamagami for assassinating Shinzo Abe due to his ties to the Unification Church, and the political reckoning it has brought in Japan theintercept.com/2025/10/29/j...

Takaichi's gifting Trump with Abe's putter is ominous. Sanseito's parroting Trump was bad. Takaichi coupling Trump's anti-immigrant stances to domestic power is all too possible.

UC is related to Takaichi's power. Support moving from Sanseito to her increases that power. Abe's faction has a 60-year relationship to UC, and untold debts.

Worry: Takaichi's Ministry of Education decides not to defend the dissolution order against UC's appeal.

Plus, with Onoda, Takaichi has taken over Sanseito's positions and plugged them into the power structure.

Anything that increases Takaichi's ability to stonewall criticism on corruption and ties to the Unification Church is negative in my book.

Positive? Takaichi adopted Sanseito's antiforeigner positions.

安倍晋三元首相銃撃事件から3年以上が経ち開かれる山上徹也被告の初公判。事件後、改めて注目されたのが旧統一教会の問題でした。「宗教右派」とは、どんな思想や価値観を持つ人々や団体で、これまでどのような政策に影響を与えてきたのか?高市政権で懸念されることは?斉藤正美さんと考えます。
