Making mistakes. On purpose. Of course it's in Japan...
A Tokyo restaurant only hires waiters with dementia. If your order is wrong, you eat it anyway - and somehow, that's become the most heartwarming dining experience in the world.
It's called the Restaurant of Mistaken Orders, founded by Japanese TV director Shiro Oguni after he visited a dementia care home and was served the wrong meal. Instead of complaining, he had a thought: what if the mistake wasn't the problem?
So he opened a restaurant where every single server lives with dementia. Orders go wrong about 37% of the time. Customer satisfaction sits at 99%.
Visitors say they came in expecting frustration and left in tears - the good kind. The elderly servers, many of whom had withdrawn from society entirely, now show up to work beaming. "I'm still capable," one server said after his shift. "This has given me confidence."
The restaurant doesn't try to hide the mistakes. It celebrates them. Menus even carry a note that reads: "Even if your order is mistaken, everything on our menu is delicious and one of a kind. This, we guarantee."
It has since inspired similar restaurants in South Korea and Australia, and continues to operate in Tokyo to this day. Sometimes the wrong order is exactly what everyone needed.
My new favoriite ball player is a Chicago Cub. Wanna know why?
The Crosstown Classic was heating up with the weather this weekend. Cubs stud outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong told a female fan “You suck my fucking dick bitch” in a shocking scene Sunday after she seemingly told him “you suck” in the fifth inning. Crow-Armstrong later defended his comments after the 9-8 road loss in 10 innings at Rate Field.
“Some lady decided to start talking shit and I felt the need to say it back,” Crow-Armstrong told ESPN. The pissing contest happened after Crow-Armstrong, perhaps the best defensive center fielder in MLB, could not corral a two-run double at the wall in the fifth inning that tied the game at 4-4.
Crow-Armstrong sat down after he missed the catch, and a female White Sox fan let him hear it. “You suck,” the fan appeared to yell while flashing two thumbs down to PCA as he stood up.
An X user, Katie, claimed she made the remark, and said in a since-deleted X post she was “Just trying to celebrate my engagement party in the patio.”
Katie has since made her X account private after the viral exchange, but you can still see it here...

They're not doing it just to be cute. There's an otter reason they stick together...
Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) have a range that covers the North Pacific, stretching around a coastline that extends between Japan, Russia, Alaska, and California. If there’s one thing sea otters can do, it’s eat. Studies have estimated that they need to eat between 19% and 39% of their body weight in food to meet their basic needs. To put this in perspective, this would be the equivalent of a person needing to eat about 20 pizzas every day.
Sea otters exhibit several interesting behaviors related to resting and survival:
Rafting: They float together in large groups known as "rafts," which can sometimes include over 100 individuals.
Paw Holding: To avoid drifting apart while sleeping or resting in ocean currents, they hold paws.
Kelp Anchors: They often wrap themselves in strands of kelp to act as a natural anchor, preventing them from floating away.
Tool Usage: Sea otters are among the few animals that use tools, utilizing rocks to crack open shellfish like clams, crabs, and mussels.

More bad tourist behavior. And you wonder why American tourists are not exactly loved in other countries...
Two Americans were arrested in Japan on Monday after breaking into the enclosure of the beloved Punch the monkey, the 9-month-old internet sensation. Police in the Tokyo suburb of Chiba detained Reid Jahnai Daysun, 24, and Neal Jabahri Duan, 27, after one of the men allegedly jumped the fence to enter the enclosure while the other filmed. Videos of the incident show a person, believed to be Daysun, in a blue suit with a smiling emoji head climbing into the enclosure that houses Punch.
The little monkey went viral after over heartbreaking images of him cradling an stuffed orangutan toy after his mother abandoned him at birth.
The man’s strange outfit appeared to be a reference to the emoji typically used to promote “memecoin” cryptocurrencies. The jerkoff was also seen carrying a stuffed toy. It remains unclear what connection the men have to crypto, with Daysun identifying as a college student and Duan as a self-proclaimed singer, according to Chiba police. Zoo visitors were bewildered at the sight, with the macaques all running in fear and clustering at a rock formation in the enclosure to get away from the intruder.
When one jerkoff ruins it for everyone...
Now, a New Zealand tourist’s dive into Rome’s historic Trevi Fountain has prompted calls for harsher penalties and tighter security to protect the iconic landmark. The footage starts off innocuously enough with two girls snapping selfies in front of the 18th-century pool. Then, all of a sudden, a 30-year-old man strides up to the edge and jumps in headfirst while fully clothed in jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, as well as his shoes and socks
The long-haired dooshbag then swims and wades back and forth through the ancient basin’s pristine waters, at one point even performing the backstroke.
Fed-up authorities tell the human penny to get out, but to no avail, as he continues to fuck around in the synthetic spring. The world-class dickhead was reportedly fined €500 ($582) for the stunt and banned from returning to the attraction.
He should get his ass kicked in some Roman catacomb. One can only hope. Make that wish and throw a €25 coin in the water...

The 'usual suspects' rarely disappoint...
According to a report this morning. a “teen takeover” dissolved into a violent brawl inside a Washington, DC restaurant, according to a viral video shared online mere days after federal prosecutors announced they would be charging parents of the miscreants involved in similar public disruptions.
A mob of teenagers descended onto a Chipotle in Washington’s Navy Yard over the weekend and, at some point, started throwing punches - and furniture, according to videos shared by witnesses.
People could be heard screaming in the background as the youths vaulted on top of one another, throwing punches at random and even using an abandoned highchair as a makeshift sledgehammer.
One teen ran up behind another and hit him over the head with the highchair while a little girl cowered off to the side in her father’s arms, according to witness videos shared online.The combatants largely concealed their faces with medical masks, and all wore similar all-black outfits.
While the boys wreaked havoc, a gaggle of girls watched outside the restaurant. Some shrieked when the boys started using furniture as weapons, while others laughed in apparent glee, the footage shows. “Oh my fucking God, bro, damn!” one girl cackled. Then, flashing police lights and sirens reflected in the chain’s window.
“The police! Oh, we gotta go!” the same girl screamed while taking off on foot.

This is a cartoon from New Yorker Magazine.
Don't get me started. This is somehow humorous to these people? WTF is funny about it? Nothing. It's actually pathetic - in so many ways I don't even need to enumerate them.
There was a time - seems so far away in my memory - that I truly enjoyed reading that rag. It was smart. It was funny. It was insightful and witty. Now it's become just one more goofie leftie piece of shit rag that thinks it's agenda is anti-anything that's not from their hometown, LibCity. What a shame, too.
The magazine that gave a platform to comic genuises like Charles Barsotti is now a platform for fuckin' crybabies to find something they can relate to.

Here's someone you should get to know. His/her/it's name is Calysta, and he/she/whatever is a 'transgender influencer and makeup artist'.
Reports indicate he/she was physically assaulted in Brussels, Belgium, near the central Bourse district.The attack is currently under investigation by local police to determine if it will be prosecuted as a hate crime.
Calysta reported that the assailants were individuals described in some reports as Islamists or radicals. Imagine that.
