Sort of half-answering my own question, in that I hear Prime Minister Kishida has now described his condition as "重体" which translates (at least in my head) more easily into critical or serious condition. Seems like his condition is slightly better than initially believed? — PolitiTweet.org

I guess I'm asking if, for example, it's like the American media convention "critical condition"? (https://t.co/gnRJjFfNJQ) — PolitiTweet.org

Question for folks who know Japanese news better than I do: Is 心肺停止 ever used to mean anything other than a euphemism for an unconfirmed death? — PolitiTweet.org

Good short history of political assasinations and assasination attempts, to provide further context about what Japanese people will be thinking about as they process this news. — PolitiTweet.org

He also has the distinction of being Japan's longest-serving PM. — PolitiTweet.org

Extremely traumatic breaking news at that. Not only is gun violence extremely rare in Japan, but former Prime Minister Abe is from a political dynasty--nicknamed "the Prince" as the son of a former Foreign Minister and a grandson of a former Prime Minister. — PolitiTweet.org

Having just had to switch from the NHK Japanese language broadcast to NHK World because my Japanese is so rusty, I am so impressed with the journalists who are simultaneously translating breaking news right now. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not fundamentally a pessimist or a cynic -- I couldn't do this job and keep my sanity if I didn't think things could change. But I definitely stand by my stance of being mad at both. — PolitiTweet.org

...only to have industry groups approach me on other issues that would also do the right thing for consumers and hear they're told they have "no credibility on the issue" because they're pushing back against their own regulation. — PolitiTweet.org

For years, I covered tech and politics and it's always the *other* one's fault for a lack of action. Not all of those arguments are disingenuous, but a lot of it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Been a long long weekend (so many ants) and we asked our smart speaker to play some white noise. It announced, "Ok, let the haunting begin!" and then started flashing the lights and playing spooky wind. Funny, but frankly not what I needed today. — PolitiTweet.org
