Just announced today. The mounted samurai horse race, the Soma Nomaoi, that I attended at the end of July in Minamisoma, Japan, has been moved, starting 2024, to the last Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of May. This was due to the deaths of 2 horses and a number of the samurai suffering from heat exhaustion at this year's event.

Two years of planning. I finally attended the #SomaNomaoi in Minamisoma, #Japan, a small agricultural city about 1.5 hrs south of Sendai in Fukushima Prefecture. Photos taken during the Nomaoi (“wild horse pursuit”) July 30, 2023. Following a tradition that goes back centuries, mounted modern samurai, carrying battle flags attached to their body armor, race at the Hibarigahara horse track and festival site. Thus honoring the samurai history and tradition of capturing wild horses and revering them for their power and will.

Basashi (horse sashimi) at Hatsu-uma, Fukuoka, Japan. Very delish! 5 stars to Chef Kenta Hikawa's cuisine and service.

On #Day500 of #Russia ’s war on #Ukraine, video of President #Zelenskyy paying tribute to the fallen soldiers at the recaptured #SnakeIsland. A testament or reminder:
1. Of Zelenskyy’s bravery and compassion for his soldiers
2. That Russia does not have air or sea superiority over Ukraine
3. That Ukraine does not have a navy, and the UAF were able to get him there and back safely.

"According to operational information, today, objects resembling explosive devices were placed on the outer roofs of the third and fourth power units (Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant). Their explosion does not have to damage nuclear reactors but can create a picture of shelling from Ukraine"

Fellow Americans, on this #July4th , remember that 247 years ago, a highly motivated, but outnumbered, under-equipped volunteer army defeated a larger, more powerful imperial foe. Then think about the parallels to #Ukraine.

Lipetsk Governor Igor Artamonov says Wagner vehicles passing through the region (apparently unhindered), 500km south of Moscow. https://t.me/igor_artamonov48/980 #Russia

Three thoughts this morning:
1) Putin’s invasion of Ukraine last year will go down in history as one of the biggest fuckups & biggest miscalculations ever made by a major figure on the world’s stage.
2) Joe Biden’s response to Putin’s invasion, Biden’s strong defense of Ukraine, and Biden’s leadership in assembling a unified worldwide coalition to stand WITH Ukraine and stand AGAINST Russia will go down in history as one of the greatest defenses of freedom & sovereignty ever put together on the world’s stage.
3) The world is so fortunate Trump lost in 2020.
Holy sh*t!! Russian state propagandist Vladimir Solovyov calling it a #civilwar. And former Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul doing the same.
Now the rest of Ukraine is following Zelenskyy's lead and grabbing up all the popcorn they can. 🤣

Gotta love the internet. 😆 #prigozhin vs. #shoigu. Where the hell is #putin? You'd think he'd be trying to calm the public. #Russia #coup.
Holy sh*t! Reports of the start of a military coup by Prighozhin's private military company (PMC). Apparently they're marching towards Moscow.
In the dystopian and terrorist country, Russia, St. Louis’ own Washington University / @WUSTL is accused in the latest Kremlin propaganda of genetically engineering “warfare locusts”. Translation courtesy of @Gerashchenko_en. Sad to think Russians actually believe this stuff.
