Not much of an Apple booster, but the AirPods 5 noise cancelling really does drown out the asshole who gets on the Red at Hollywood & Highland and plays sub-Frat party quality covers of Imagine & Wonderwall near daily.

Xueting's #Popculture Digest looks at #Y3K fashion and aesthetics. That's right, it's a new iteration of Y2K, but rather than the colourful retro-futurism of its millennial predecessor, Y3K emerged online around 2024, and casts a colder, bolder look into the more distant future of 3000. 1/

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

What gets me, apart from these people being absolute monsters, is that the whole thing is predicated on the belief that testing is education. Like at least 3/4 of their project falls apart if we get rid of high stakes testing.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

"I decided to reserve five minutes at the beginning of class for nonacademic conversations and check-ins with my students." I appreciated this read this evening after a long week because this is something I don't often do, as I'm always the one diving right into instruction. Maybe I shouldn't?

Japanese old farm house with open hearth.
Sunken into the dark, polished floorboards of a rural interior, an open hearth (irori) anchors a dimly illuminated domestic space. A heavy, dark cast-iron kettle (tetsubin) hangs suspended over the ash pit from a vertical bamboo-and-wood adjustable pothook (jizaikagi), its wooden counterweight caught in the ambient glow. Rough, unbarked wooden logs encircle the pit, their rustic edges resting upon the worn timber floor. Soft shafts of morning sunlight pierce through thin veils of woodsmoke hanging in the rafters, illuminating the warm amber tones of sliding paper screens (shōji) and dark wooden partitions (fusuma) that recede into an adjoining room where a low tea table (chabudai) rests in quiet shadow.

Central to the architectural layout of traditional Japanese farmhouses (minka), the sunken hearth served as both the functional and communal heart of agrarian life. Operating continuously throughout the year, the irori provided warmth, light, and a cooking fire in homes constructed without chimneys. Smoke from the open hearth rose freely into the high, exposed ceiling framework, coating the structural timbers with a natural, protective patina of soot.  The adjustable jizaikagi mechanism, often utilizing a wooden lever as a counterweight and symbolic fire-preventative motif, enabled residents to raise or lower iron kettles and cooking pots directly over the glowing embers with precise control.

Aesthetically, the hazy interior presents a quintessential realization of in'ei raisan (praise of shadows), where spatial depth and atmosphere emerge from the delicate interplay of gloom, rising smoke, and filtered sunlight. The smoke-darkened beams, unvarnished hearth logs, and patinated iron kettle embody the essence of wabi-sabi and yōnobi—the profound beauty discovered within utilitarian objects aged through daily domestic use and fire.
