  1. The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church just called the police on me. The police were very nice and understanding and let me go after a brief talk.

    I have been seeking #Justice after being assaulted by the guards at Hope Services ( a catholic charity), in #Kona #Hawaii . Several other #homeless people had confided in me that they were being abused, but did not dare speak out, for fear of further violence. Also, they depend upon the charity for food.

    I approached the catholic leaders politely in Kona, and they did not take responsibility. Then I moved to #Tokyo seeking political asylum.

    I approached Mr. Takaii, a priest at the #Meguro Catholic Church, and asked for answers concerning the abuse. Mr. Takaii told me that he did not speak any English, though we had been talking in English for a few days, and he speaks English fluently.

    After persistently and politely raising questions with the Takanawa church, I kept being stonewalled. I still have questions about why they cannot feed me 3 meals a day, turning me away hungry, though they just held a fundraiser for #hungry people in the Philippines. The priest, Mr. Noguchi harshly told me to go back to America.

    Just now, I returned to Takanawa church from the police station, and Mr. Noguchi handed me a letter from Mr. Wataru Suematsu, the parish leader, banning me from church, and threatening police action.

    I intend to get justice for me, and for other people the Catholic Church continues to abuse.

    The Catholic Church is doing something shady with the money, as it is a lavishly constructed church, with a big attendance on weekends, and collects a lot of money.

    The Catholic Church is an organization by and for, old white men. They will always elect an old white man as #pope ( now available in American flavor ). A 39 year old Japanese woman will never be pope.

    The organization was funded by loot from #colonial #genocide, which it continues to hold on to, and continue as a big mind-manipulating business. Even as pope after pope apologizes for the atrocities of the church, the abuses continue.

    Pope Leo has called for #peace though he has not yet asked his followers to resign from the #military which would be a real follow through.

    People of the world, from countries that the church looted and impoverished, are rising up and demanding #reparations

    There’s so much blood on the hands of the church, that the pope’s crocodile tears are not enough to wash them away. Empty words are not enough. People demand to be made whole.

    Please boost this message, to hold the church accountable.

  3. Hilo International PHTO → Ellison Onizuka Kona International PHKO

    While I'm still figuring out where my next multi-leg journey will take me, I thought: why not see if the Cessna 172 can fly over Mauna Kea? Its service ceiling is 14,000 ft, and Mauna Kea stands at 13,803 ft.

    So, I packed some oxygen and took off. After a wide circle around the volcano and the slowest climb of all time (100–200 ft/min), the altimeter maxed out at 15,000 ft, leaving me with a comfortable margin over the summit.

  8. I am a federally cleared programmer, turned #whistleblower

    I spoke against the #VA and #AccentureFederalServices and pointed out corruption and mismanagement of funds. I fight for the rights of #veterans

    I have been persecuted, and homeless since 2023.

    I am presently in #Japan , seeking political asylum.

    My whistleblower story is here:

    whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/

    I thought that I would be safe from persecution, once I got to Japan. This turned out to be wrong.

    I ran out of the funds I came here with, in February 2026, and have been #homeless here since.

    I turned to every refugee assistance I could find: #JAR, #AAR, #RHQ, #FRESC, #UNHCR , the #Shinagawa City Ward Office. They all denied me assistance.

    Second Harvest gave me 5 food packages, over two months, each of which lasts 2-3 days.

    The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church was feeding me 1 meal a day, though now they have stopped even that.

    When I reported to Mr. Takaii, a priest at #Meguro Catholic Church, that I had been abused by a Catholic Charity in #Kona , #Hawaii ( documented in the link above ), he suddenly told me he did not speak any English, though we had met a few times, and had several conversations, and he speaks English fluently.

    This is probably because I asked him to respond to my critique of #Christianity in general:

    rant.li/ashwin/why-i-am-also-n

    The #corruption at the heart of the Catholic church and Christianity could not be more profound.

    The #Pope has condemned #war and called for #peace , and scored cheap #poltical points against #Trump , though he has not called on all #Catholics to resign from the military, and stop participating in war. His apologia are crocodile tears.

    I am presently hungry, homeless, and need of medical care.

    The Japanese #Immigration Bureau keep asking me why I have "overstayed my visa". I keep responding that while my asylum application is pending, I am not overstaying in Japan. Japan is in violation of #International #Law ( 1951 & 1967 convention on the treatment of #refugees ). They can easily extend my visa, so I can get medical care and food. I have reported to them several times that I am in pain, and need food. They keep on harassing me.

    It seems to me that the #JapanPM has decided to make same mistake that Japan made in #WW2 - siding with #corruption

    Also please advise where I may turn for immediate help.

  21. Kona is an energy-based AI model that solves by constraint solving, not individual token commitment. This reduces the compute requirement by 2-3 orders of magnitude, making running AI much less energy intensive, less harmful to the environment (less power = less heat = less cooling needed), as well as much less expensive. Much greater accuracy is a bonus 😉.

    Since all situations requiring a solution can be defined by constraints, this is a promising avenue of AI research; one that might just make AI both useful and practical.

    *The Sudoku demo is a limited application, but the results show the vast gulf between energy-based systems and traditional LLMs.
