If you, like me, have been wondering where the Ethiopian food in Tokyo is, it’s here. You can get injera right here. It won’t fix you, but it will probably make you feel better.

I had enough of it sticking back during the big snow last month. I liked watching this fall from the sky and then disappear!

What's your favourite dad joke? I need a few for a translation I'm working on, and I'm coming up short. (But also: it's fun to take a dad joke break sometimes!)

tmblr post screenshot of Junji Ito at a desk with a plate of pasta in front of him. The text above the photo says, Junji Eato, and below it is "boy that sure is some creepy pasta"

My friend sent me this, and I can't stop laughing.

I am actually in need of this kind of more casual, reactive dad joke, but I love reading all the dad jokes everyone is bringing. I think you get to the heart of the dad joke as the conversational tripwire for the child.

Excellent dad jokery all around! I have a friend (not a dad in reality, but in spirit) who does the しょうがない one, and I cackle with delight every time.

One of my personal faves is (which is less a joke-joke, but still a dad joke in my opinion):
"I'm hungry."
"Hi, Hungry. I'm Dad."

I have absolutely been there. Just scratching your head at every single line until someone goes, well, if only the rocket hadn't exploded, we wouldn't be stuck here in space. And then all the pieces snap together like rare earth magnets.
