Tokyo's city center observed precipitation again today, marking the 31st day of continuous precipitation observations since August 27. If precipitation is observed tomorrow and into the start of next week, it will tie the 2019 record and become the longest on record. weathernews.jp/news/202609/...

A few years back, I wrote about Tokyo’s legendary Bubble-era disco scene. One of said discos was Turia, which featured an interior designed by Syd Mead, of “Blade Runner” fame. A concept painting recently surfaced and it is glorious. blog.pureinventionbook.com/p/gal-den-of...

Slavoj Žižek has my dream job. I watched him speak in front of a crowd for 45 minutes uninterrupted about whatever he felt like while the host watched helplessly. when he finally finished she said "wise words" and he said "I HATE WISDOM" then started talking again

A little boy with a bowl cut stands next to a large man with red hair and a red shirt. They are both of a different animation style. The little boy is Gohan from Dragon Ball Z. The large man is Coach McGuirk from Home Movies.

What really rocked me as a Midwesterner & an American about 9/11 was David Foster Wallace's article about it that I didn't read until years later. It's almost prophetic about the distinctions between what parts of America are. www.rollingstone.com/feature/davi...

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.
