As someone who really doesn’t go to the movies that much anymore, I remember seeing the preview to this before our screening of The Odyssey and thinking “wow that looks terrible, were the Coen brothers not available to make the actual movie it seems this wants to be?”

I'm pretty critical of Grandmother Jia apologia. She sucks, actually? She never acknowledges her role in killing Daiyu. And, frankly, in a system that openly condones' having concubines, having a super robust "childbearing wife" was not wholly necessary to "continue the family line." 🤢

Like: I do not think it's a mistake that victims get shamed as "punitive" and "carceral" for asking for consequences. I think that's built in. And if the purpose of restorative justice is to push back on the idea that people are disposable, well: Rape victims already are treated that way.

the plainness with which this is put covers up a sort of powerless rage that you feel as a parent of a trans kid. it’s, to say the least, an alienating experience to see people bicker over the niceties of this or that pension policy when the party and the government has done this to your family

This Labour Government is the worst thing to have ever happened to trans children.
They have step by step dismantled every protection that supported my daughter. We have tried so hard to help her grow up with happiness and self-esteem through a childhood in an increasingly transphobic UK.
At every point when the Labour Government could have made something better, they have turned around and given her another kick.

Wisteria tree at Ashikaga Flower Park, Japan. Photography by KotHat on photohito

Cascading like an ethereal, violet-tinted waterfall from an unseen sky, a curtain of glowing wisteria (fuji) blossoms overhead in a breathtaking nocturnal spectacle. At the base, a thick, ancient trunk twists with muscular grace, its weathered, spiral-grained wood anchoring a vast canopy-like arbor from which countless long, delicate racemes hang in dense, weeping clusters. Soft upward illumination transforms the mass of pale purple and magenta flowers into a luminous, suspended ocean of petals, casting a soft glow onto the petal-strewn earth below. The photograph evokes a dreamy, multi-sensory atmosphere: the sweet, honeyed perfume of evening blossoms heavy in the cool spring night, the faint, rustling whisper of racemes swaying in a gentle breeze, the soft hum of nocturnal garden air, and the quiet, awe-struck hush of standing beneath a ceiling of living light. Captured at Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi Prefecture, this magnificent specimen exemplifies the centuries-old Japanese tradition of cultivating grand wisteria arbors (fuji-dana). Cherished since the Heian period as a symbol of nobility, longevity, and refined elegance, wisteria appears throughout classical waka poetry, aristocratic clan crests (kamon), and iconic theater performances such as the kabuki dance Fujimusume ("The Wisteria Maiden"). Preserving a tree of this monumental scale—with branches extending across hundreds of square meters supported by meticulously engineered timber trellises—represents a supreme testament to horticultural monozukuri (artisanal mastery and reverence for living craft). Through generations of dedicated pruning, binding, and care, Japanese arborists have elevated landscape architecture into a living, intergenerational fine art.

what the fuck do you mean STOCKWELL FUCKING DAY was the voice of reason here

At lower political levels, too, Republicans have taken notice. In mid-May, Stockwell Day travelled to Oklahoma to meet with state lawmakers who invited him to speak with them. Among the topics they wanted to hear about was Alberta separatism and the possibility of American annexation. Mr. Day, who once led the Canadian Alliance and held cabinet positions in both Alberta and Ottawa, told them he saw no chance of success for either outcome.

The meeting nonetheless persuaded him that American continental expansion has become a subject of genuine consideration in Republican circles.

“There’s serious interest in the U.S.,” Mr. Day told The Globe. That may not mean a Machiavellian plot to take over Canadian territory, but “there will always be those who look to capitalize on disruption.”

who is ready for the Red Deer People's Republic post-referendum

A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.

The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province’s resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.

Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta’s pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.
