Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) under Sanae Takaichi stands at its strongest position in decades.
The collapse of the Centrist Reform Alliance (CRA) in the same election has left Japan’s political landscape without its most prominent counterweight.
The question now is simple: what is left of Japan’s opposition?
Running under the slogan “Citizens First,” the CRA tried to appeal to voters with middle-ground messagi…

The difference between having an account on social media platforms from the tech bros (X, BlueSky, Threads) versus participating on Mastodon is like two different types of cocktail parties. One is closer to a corporate event like those held at industry conferences. The other is a neighborhood get-together at someone's house.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsLiving in a capitalist society makes me simultaneously hate and understand some things.
Back when the Sunday shopping ban was set in Poland by one of the right-wing parties (with some exceptions for petty capitalists, of course), I was outraged. Why are they forcing their religious customs on me?! But nowadays, I do realize that in a capitalist society, where employment laws are full of loopholes and employers explicitly punish employees for taking a day off, an obligatory no-business day is the only way.
On top of that, after living next to a supermarket for a few years… this is literally the only way to have a quiet day, without cars driving, and car doors slamming all the time. And of course night time deliveries, because you obviously can't lose day's business over such things.
And what I hate even more are these multi-day holidays and long weekends, where suddenly all my routine falls apart, and I can't really enjoy holidays while the train timetable is randomly punctuated. But then, I do realize that obligatory multi-day holidays are the only way for many people to simultaneously have a day off and be able to meet their families and friends.
I'm not really compatible with the world I'm living in.
