SocMed has done a load of good work for the academy, and Dr Robertson's Japanese slang explanations are the cream of the crop. Highly recommended, no Japanese language skills required.

Japanese artist Hiroshi Nagai, famous for his illustration work for City Pop album covers (by extension the “city pop” aesthetic), has had his art used without permission by the official USA Department of Homeland Security Twitter account to promote mass deportations.

喜歡這期摘錄的《金牌得主（Medalists）》中小祈那句「見なよ…オレの司を」（快看啊⋯我家的司），這對冰上師徒真的很可愛。

theres a recurring newscaster in Gintama, like Kent Brockman on THE SIMPSONS. She's called 結野アナ, "Ketsuno Ana", or "Announcer Ketsuno."
only... "ketsuno ana" is a homonym for ケツの穴 ("ketsu no ana"), which means "butthole." How does the dub translate this joke?? by calling her "Maya Sizitzy."
