Weekly Links for November 3rd

Hello from Osaka!

Hopefully you set your clock back an hour and used that extra time to… party? Sleep? Time is weird, and daylight savings is such a strange joke.

I’m still not sure if Japan does it.

This week I’m in Osaka, so many of the links are Japan-related. いらしゃいませ！

• I love this weird site and this terrible baby. A barista in Tokyo told me about this site, and it’s cracked me up all week.

• Being in Japan as a white lady, this is all too familiar. I aspire to being as fluent as Dogen.

• Yes, I queued in Tokyo for AirPods Pro. Yes, they’re great.

  

  “But Brook, how does it sound when you close the case?!” I’m glad you asked:

  Quinn Nelson @SnazzyQ

  Best wireless in-ear charging case lid sound competition!

  

• While I’m not listening to albums on my new little headphones, you can find me in various jazz bars around Japan. That’s right, jazz. I like jazz, ok?

• Don’t eat too much konjac! If you do though, be sure to share the results with science.

Sorry, I don’t have a good chaser for that last one. Maybe this?

Ok, have a great week!!! また来週ね！
