#watching #TokyoVice — some episodes currently showing on SBS (australia)
“Jake Adelstein, an american journalist, plugs into the tokyo vice squad and descends into the underbelly of tokyothe key word in that synopsis is probably “underbelly”
this is lovingly filmed noir.
i don’t know a lot about japanese culture and a show like this is unlikely to provide a balanced view, nonetheless it is interesting for the little it shows me.as a digression, i must say, one of my hobbies is sometimes picking a random victorian postcode and looking at real estate — at what is available where, and for what price.
change is inevitable and it doesn’t bother me that the melbourne i grew up in 60+ years ago is long gone… but after looking at hundreds of boxy, poky little “apartments” online recently, i was beginning to feel claustrophobic.
better than being unhoused, and probably better for the planet, but not my idea of dream living.tokyo as shown here looks similarly claustrophobic.
even if Ansel Elgort, who plays Jake, wasn’t so tall, everything tokyo would seem Lilliputian, and because the story features a lot of nightscapes, the light pollution seems oppressive.now, to discuss the vice/underbelly aspect, i offer another digression.
in a world ruled by the division of labour, capital enterprises, private property and supply chains, finding work and performing for wages is necessary, but not necessarily fun.
i never really minded any of the work i did so much as i minded the a*holes who routinely make life unpleasant, and even more, i minded not being able to distance myself from them, because i needed to work.
so glad i don’t have to “go out there” anymore.as a person who is deemed by others to be female (for some reason, it mattered to “society” that i belonged to a category) i have long had to “put up with systemic sexism” and with rapey blokes, as well as the other stuff on my list of reasons to not much like paid employment.

Rob and Michele Reiner's children, Jake and Romy, have spoken out about the "unimaginable pain" of losing their parents and asked for respect, privacy, and "tempered" speculation, @CBSNews reports.
At the second link, from @AssociatedPress, find a statement from the Reiners' closest friends, including Billy Crystal, Albert Brooks and Martin Short. "He charmed audiences. They trusted him. They lined up to see his films,” wrote the group. "Strong and determined, Michele and Rob Reiner devoted a great deal of their lives for the betterment of our fellow citizens... They were a special force together — dynamic, unselfish and inspiring."
The statement concluded with a quote from "It's a Wonderful Life." "Each man’s life touches so many other lives, and when he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?’ You have no idea."

After reading through it for the first time, Jake approached me with tears in his eyes, telling me how much he loved the zine. He is one of the ppl I interviewed for #ParadiseLost who grew up here and got to witness the formation of the punk scene. What an honor. We’ve known each other for a couple of years now, but working on this together definitely deepened our friendship. #Zines are amazing for cultivating connection and #punk is magic.

📢🇺🇸📢 ONE TO WATCH 📢🇺🇸📢
Rep. Jake Auchincloss here is the real deal - the kind of politician I, a Democrat, have been hoping and praying for. Articulate, wicked smart, seems to understand he was elected to actually serve We The People. <gratitude>
Auchincloss is one to watch. And, this #Acosta podcast episode is well worth the listen. Click link here!
