Super Typhoon Hagibis is set to hit Japan

Folks! We'll be closing up early tonight (around 10:30) thanks to typhoon-kun, but the forecast for tomorrow evening looks good!

You know what is worse than a typhoon? A fricking super typhoon. The forecast calls for a ton of rain.

China trade talks continue today

(Turn on political filters to see that massive thread) Oh yeah, Trump has a Twitch channel...
