VT on Instagram: "In Japan, a new kind of bar is drawing attention for flipping workplace culture on its head. The bar is designed specifically for people who are considering leaving their jobs. Drinks are free, and the focus is not on alcohol sales but conversation. Patrons are invited to talk openly about burnout, frustration, and career doubts, while staff are trained to listen without judgement or pressure. The idea taps into a growing reckoning in Japan around long working hours, rigid hierarchies, and the mental health toll of intense job expectations. Conversations about quitting or dissatisfaction have traditionally been stigmatised, making this kind of space unusual. By removing the cost barrier and offering a supportive environment, the bar aims to normalise discussions about career dissatisfaction and help people reflect on what they actually want from work, even if that means starting over."

and provide a way for the eight million people who have fled the country in the past ten years to return.

Trump orders blockade of oil tankers into Venezuela
President Donald Trump says he is ordering a blockade of all “sanctioned oil tankers” into Venezuela, ramping up pressure on the country’s authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro. The moves comes after U.S. forces last week seized an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast, an unusual move that followed a buildup of military forces in the region. In a post on social media Tuesday night announcing the blockade, Trump alleged Venezuela was using oil to fund drug trafficking and other crimes. The bu…
