In Japan, some households follow a tradition where husbands give their entire salary to their wives, who manage the family finances. The husband then receives a monthly allowance called “okozukai,” often used as personal pocket money. Surveys by organizations like Shiruporuto show this practice still exists today. It reflects a long-standing cultural norm built on financial trust and shared household responsibility.

Far-right online personality Nick Fuentes has publicly broken with former ally Donald Trump, urging his followers to reject the Republican president and even suggesting they vote for Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections. On his latest podcast, Fuentes sharply criticized the Trump administration’s recent joint military action in Iran, claiming the leadership has “betrayed its supporters.” He told listeners the Republican movement has changed and said: “This administration needs to be shut down immediately. Do not vote in the midterms, and if you do, vote for Democrats.” Fuentes went further on the broadcast, using provocative language and warning that unless the GOP strategy changes by 2028, he would consider switching parties. Once a visible booster of Trump — even after a controversial 2022 meeting at Mar-a-Lago that Trump later distanced himself from — Fuentes has been critical of GOP leadership since before the 2024 election, alleging establishment control of the party. Despite his falling out with Trump, he still draws hundreds of thousands of viewers per episode, making his outspoken shift notable amid ongoing debates over U.S. policy and military involvement abroad. #NickFuentes #Trump #USPolitics #Midterms2026 #PoliticalShift #FarRight #PoliticalDebate #BreakingNews

Unfortunately, squandered may be too hard for him to understand as well...

Bored of peace

A simple look at the sky above Mount Fuji turned into an unforgettable sight. As the sun slowly set, a huge cloud formed over the mountain’s peak, taking on the striking shape of a phoenix with its wings spread wide. It looked less like an ordinary cloud and more like a mythical creature rising into the sky. The incredible moment was captured by photographer Ken Moriya, who is known for chasing Japan’s most dramatic skies. In his photograph, the glowing cloud hovered perfectly above Mount Fuji, as if nature had carefully painted the scene. For a brief moment, sunlight, wind, and clouds came together to create something truly magical. But just as quickly as it appeared, the cloud began to fade away. That is the beauty of nature’s rare moments. They cannot be planned or recreated. They happen for only a few seconds, rewarding those lucky enough to witness them. Once again, Mount Fuji reminded everyone why it has inspired artists, dreamers, and storytellers for centuries. When nature puts on a show, the result can feel almost unreal.
