Think we’ll be ok in Tokyo with typhoon no.26 but Chiba could get some heavy rains again. Right when they don’t need them. 🙏🏻

Fuck this guy. Suno trained on stolen data. GEMA has successfully sued them. Plus, Suno were hacked a couple of months ago and the details of 55million users were leaked. Not only did they steal from musicians to create their business. They’re shit at data security, too. #FuckSuno
Nick Saraev of Ai “music” company, Suno, says in a post on X:

“I am not joking when I say this.
Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over. Ai music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago. Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.”

OK Mart is usually a very cost effective supermarket option here in Japan. Over a 10 day period, the price for a small Sunny Lettuce has gone from ¥163 to ¥350. Thirty-five days straight of rain, two typhoons and here we are. And not even really in to the worst of this Super El Niño year yet.

This is a photograph of the edge of one of Saturn's rings, looking down from above. Those spiky dark shapes are shadows. Shadows of giant towers of ice and dust grains clumped together that rise up to three *kilometres* above the 10-m thick rings.
A series of bands cross the image from left to right, brighter at the bottom and darkening towards the top. A band of empty space is at the top of the image. About a quarter down from the top is a complex pattern of jagged, spiky shadows cast onto the rings. The icy towers casting the shadows are seen here at a highly oblique angle.

A 65x24 aspect ratio colour photograph of The Hiruma Dental Clinic (比留間歯科医院) on Asakusa Dori in Higashi-ueno, in the lovely late afternoon light of a March day in 2025. Strong shadows, warm light and newer surrounding buildings all highlight the old, wooden gabled structure of the clinic. Truly the characterful odd man out in the street.

This part of the Herald Sun’s article on the Fairford arrests will end up being the most pertinent, imho. This and the fact they’ve been bailed. Terrorist suspects found with explosives would not be bailed. These guys, imho, are diesel thieves. Which makes Trump’s comments even more amusing.
From the Herald Sun about the RAF Fairford arrests:

“One of the vans had the words "FUEL2YOU" in red lettering on its side and a phone number registered to an area code 250km away in Sheffield in England's north.
The number appeared to be one digit short and was not recognised when called by reporters. The company name did not return any search results on Google, nor did it appear on a public register of UK companies.

Fuel2U, a company that delivers diesel anywhere in the UK within 24-48 hours, firmly rejected any connection with the suspected plot.

The fuel delivery company said on its website: "We are extremely concerned that our company's name have been used without our knowledge or permission ...”From the Herald Sun article:

“Trump responds to release
US President Donald Trump has reacted with bewilderment at the release of the five men.
"I'm surprised they released them, I wouldn't have," he said in the Oval Office on Monday, US time.
"We know everything about them, we would not have released them.
But he said the UK authorities had been
"very good".
It's not clear how much information Mr Trump does indeed have on the suspects and
- if the same situation had occurred in the
US - if he would be able to keep the men locked up.”

A complex, swirling pattern of lighter and darker clouds. One large system, angled to the upper left in this scene, is a tawny brown colour and is elongate. Another, more circular storm system is at lower centre, and is a grey–greenish colour. The background swirls are various shades of grey to blue; small, white features dot the scene.

Geophysicist & space physicist Marcia Neugebauer made the first direct solar wind measurements via instruments on the Mariner 2 spacecraft. She developed instruments used on Earth-orbiting satellites, Apollo lunar experiments & the Giotto mission to Halley’s Comet. Born #OTD in 1932. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white historical photograph of pioneering geophysicist and space physicist Marcia Neugebauer (born September 27, 1932) working at her desk during the mid-20th century. Sitting in an office setting, she leans forward slightly over her desk, looking directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and focused expression. She has short, bobbed light hair and wears a short-sleeved, collared white button-up blouse adorned with subtle vertical embroidered details down the front. In her right hand, she holds a pencil over large documents and charts with plotted scientific data curves spread out on the desk before her. To her right sits a large, vintage mechanical calculating machine with columns of buttons, characteristic of the 1960s computing era. The background features window blinds and office storage, creating an environment of rigorous research. The image captures the historical significance of a trailblazing woman in STEM whose work with these charts and calculations would confirm the existence of the solar wind via the Mariner 2 spacecraft.
