The #Philippines and #Japan Defense Pact goes into effect this coming September 11.
An indirect message that the Philippines and Japan had enough of the "East China Sea" and "South China Sea" issues, and will start working closer together.
One step closer to the ultimate goal: a tight-knit alliance between the Philippines, Japan, and South #Korea . This beneficial not just to our countries, but to the entire Pacific-Asia region, perhaps even the larger Asia-Pacific region.
It took a long time to approve. But finally, after a three-year trial run, women in Japan can now buy the morning-after pill nationwide without a prescription. The move comes after years of opposition - including from men in Japan's medical community.

How to avoid becoming a “Main Character Expat” in #Japan
https://blog.gaijinpot.com/japan-isnt-a-personality-the-problem-with-main-character-expats/
My Mom visited me in Japan several times and so she sometimes dictates what paintings I make to post to my online printable art shop. 😁 It’s a fun arrangement. Two weeks ago she asked me to paint the Arashiyama bamboo forest, particularly the section that looks like a tunnel. This is my first attempt at it. It was challenging but lots of fun. ☺️ All of my paintings are derived from my photo archive representing almost 30 years worth of travel. Available now, to print at home or anywhere that offers printing services: https://payhip.com/b/8daWz

Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers– Episode 1
A sequel that's a still fresh enough start for new fans. At the same time, the addition of politics and gore fundamentally shifts the tone of the story in ways that it feels alien to the original material.

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?
Damit hatte ich nicht gerechnet… #Wissenschaft #Demografie
Die Entwicklung der Geburtenraten in den USA 🇺🇸, Türkiye 🇹🇷, Israel 🇮🇱 und Thailand 🇹🇭 widerlegt eine lange gültige Hypothese des geschätzten Hans Rosling (1948 - 2017): Waren religiöse Unterschiede bisher demografisch nur innerhalb von Staaten nachweisbar, so treten diese nun auch international zutage. Deutlich.

日本內閣於 2026 年 7 月 21 日閣議決定《邁向數位社會實現的重點計畫》，首次在閣議決定層級寫明政府將設立 OSPO（開源程式辦公室），設於數位廳，預計 2026 年度早期成立，為日本政府部門首例。
有興趣可以點進去看原文，裡面附有計劃書：
https://www.digital.go.jp/policies/priority-policy-program
這份計畫把主軸從 DX 升級為「AX/DX」。AX 指的是「所有組織都以 AI 為前提，從根本重新檢視決策方式與業務流程」——不只是把既有流程數位化，而是在 AI 已成為前提的情況下重新設計組織如何運作。最終目標稱為「AI 驅動型國家」：民眾不必自行查詢制度、跑公所、一項項辦手續，而由 AI 代理人依本人意願自主取得資訊、提出建議並自動完成資料串接。
OSPO 就放在「政府 AX/DX 基盤自律性強化」這一章底下，理由不在省錢，而在自律性。對外（outbound）把應作為標準推廣的軟體以開源釋出，供其他行政機關、地方自治體與民間廣泛使用，降低整體社會的開發成本；對內（inbound）在政府系統開發中積極採用市場上的 OSS，同時管理未知漏洞與惡意程式碼植入等風險，藉此提升開發效率、快速導入新技術，並迴避廠商鎖定。OSPO 負責建立 OSS 利用與釋出的統一治理，並作為與外部開源社群協作的核心組織。
AI 部分同樣以主權為軸。計畫提出「AI 主權」，要求在資料、運算基盤、模型、營運四個層面確保自律性、替代性與耐遮斷性：行政系統不應與特定業者的基礎模型緊耦合，原則上透過共通介面呼叫推論，並隨時保有可切換的複數選項。理由包括寡占後的漲價與服務中止風險，以及海外模型的輸出傾向會受國外法制與價值觀影響。政府自研的生成式 AI 環境「源內」也規劃 OSS 化，並與東協等全球南方國家共創協力。
