Actor Hiroya Shimizu pleaded guilty to violating the narcotics control law, at the first hearing of his trial at Tokyo District Court on Monday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/08/japan/crime-legal/japan-actor-drug-pleads-guilty/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #japanesecourts #drugs #marijuana #hiroyashimizu #film #celebrities

I'm making a comedy film about a couple quarreling over chicken, a plot device to imagine food in the #climate crisis, but there's no capitalism, government, politicians, or police; rather, ordinary folk run the country in a direct democracy. I need your support to buy gear to ease vfx works. Boost, or donate if you can!

I use comedy in a hopeful future since fascists hate laughter and protests in #us use frog humor. My film discusses the future of governance in a world without politicians, or capitalism and oligarchs, where every citizen has a say in running the government. There are rewards for every dollar you donate!
