TIL about S. Neil Fujita, Hawaii-born graphic designer and artist. He was interned in WW2 because his parents were Japanese; then later was allowed to enlist. He served in Europe and the Pacific in the 442nd Infantry Regiment, the most decorated unit in US history which was all 2nd gen Japanese.
Sadamitsu Neil Fujita in a sepia photo from the 1960s. He has greying hair and neat moustache and wears a suit and dark tie. Quite dapper.

If you can't adopt there are lots of other things you can do to help. Foster, volunteer, fundraise, do a supply drive, sign up for your local shelter's newsletter to find out other ways to help. Remember that volunteering doesn't necessarily mean physical labor - shelters need all kinds of skills!

I would advise people not to talk to USA Today for any reason, about anything ever, based on this thread. It's bad enough that the whole profession is circling the drain, but for a remaining publication to feed interviews into a slopifier without telling sources? When it's about SA? I just.. 🌋

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Melbourne Victory have officially ditched Pride Round. Might as well spill the beans here. Elements of the men’s team and supporters were opposed to it last year, so the women had to do what they could to put it on themselves. It’s a club that will always capitulate to the worst individuals.

Outstanding show of solidarity from Turkish side Konyaspor in their friendly against the Palestinian national team. They showered the pitch in teddies to be donated to children and suspended the match at 89:59 with a message stating 'Until Palestine is free, the match has been postponed'.

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.
