My mom agreeing with me that I work better with teens than young kids in my field: it's because you're kind of like a really old teenager Me:

WHOOO, TODAY'S ANTIQUES ROADSHOW IS A RERUN BUT IT'S ASIAN-PACIFIC HERITAGE CELEBRATION!!!! GUANYIN STATUE!!!!!!

Watched a real good video on autism vs trauma. Major point of differentiation: did this start at a point or has it always been this way. I can definitively say... I have always been this way. Mori has always been thus. Lack of expectations and ADHD covered for a lot of it.

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

Tokyo doesn't have an overtourism problem; it has an everyone going to the same places problem. Get away from the crowds in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, where Edo history, beautiful gardens, contemporary art, & Japan's third-wave coffee scene await you. Here's what to see & do.

“...By the early 2000s, [Kabukichō] boasted some eight thousand sex shops, bars, pachinko parlors, karaoke clubs, game centers, and restaurants, and two hundred yakuza offices.” Learn the origins and inner workings of Kabukicho in our brand new video! youtu.be/P5rIAFl1R_Y

I’m on the Metro-North and there are two people with long-haired dachshunds in bags 10 feet away from each other and the two dogs are clearly aware of each others presence but the owners are not

If you figure out what the thing that makes you happiest is, you will make it with such unparalleled enthusiasm that it will be impossible for people not to notice in a way that will be so much more memorable than treating yourself like a branded product before you figure out who you are.

a ticking clock I couldn't stop

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

Thinking about Gniesbert again

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

The thing about commercials on TV vs on YouTube or streaming is that the commercials came in at a very specific time and the show planned around it. We all knew when a commercial break was gonna happen. YouTube ads pop up anywhere. Tasteless.

#MoriNo like it was obvious I was going to dig into death/afterlife/related folklore and practices for MKR. That’s Junna’s job. But how did I end up putting all these eggs in the Fox Spirit basket… I think I’ve been tricked.

I'm sorry, but all octopuses are 'alien-like'. Imagine having eight arms that can do some of the thinking for themselves, built-in jet propulsion, being able to spit ink and squeeze through any hole larger than your mouth. That's some pure alien shit right there.

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott delivers commencement speech to Kansas City Art Institute graduates. Wait for it…

Pope Leo is 🔥: "So-called artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships...nor do they have a moral conscience... a form of statistical adaptation...does not imply inner growth."

Surround yourself with the kind of people who are proud to have a library card.

💦👁️WATER TO HEAL THE EYES👁️🙌 In 811 Kūkai (空海) left his post at Otokuni-dera (乙訓寺) to visit the nearby temple of Yōkoku-ji (楊谷寺). Whilst on retreat he noticed monkeys returning each day to a spring. Rather than drink, they washed the eyes of a blind infant🙈💦🤔 #Kyoto

#MoriTomo considering how few of them have actually had a slice of Burnt Vanilla Flop, my Miis sure like to talk about it a lot... (Burnt Vanilla Flop is my absolute dogshit cake. Toasted Vanilla Surprise is the second, better cake.)

This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)

Sharing a few relaxed and leisurely kitten sketches, all of them are classic works that I personally love. Take a moment to relax with the kittens too, stretch a little, and enjoy being lazy for a while. #shouxinsketch #petart #animalart #illustrationartists #sketch

#MoriNo ah, I realized in MKR Modulo (joking title for the MKR sequel in the more distant future), Junna kind of really fucks up again with good intentions. Like, what would have happened to Tokyo would have been WORSE without intervention, but what they do isn't great by any means lol...

Brand new video! Shinjuku is home to both the world's busiest train station and one of its biggest nightlife districts - an immense warren of concrete and metaphorical red lights. Yet, in the not-too-distant past, there was little here at all. Learn the full history of Shinjuku! youtu.be/P5rIAFl1R_Y

1. Caste. Most people in the west don’t understand that the waves of engineers and doctors who immigrated out of India in the 70s and onwards were ‘high’ caste folks, who resented the Indian equivalent of affirmative action for caste. Caste solidarity is very powerful…/

You tellin me one of the yokai book guys is doing a book on kitsune? Life... is hard but dying WOULD be a shame!!!

The wonderful thing about acrylic markers is that it fits my disorganized self (comment): I forget the colors I have used, so it's a trial and error trying to find which colors I liked and have used in the piece 😅🤣 acrylic lets me later many times (with the right paper) #art #traditionalart

For both #PhantomsFriday and #WorldGothDay this Japanese ukiyo-e print is titled 'Ghost of a Woman' from the series 'One Hundred Tales' by Utagawa Yoshiiku, ca. 1890. #JapaneseArt #ukiyoe

I propose that if you've ever googled "is six seven supposed to be funny" then you get exempted from all age restriction checks.

your late 20s are genuinely hilarious because you start them feeling the dread of your "20s reaching an end" and then you end up realizing the whole concept of the 20s/30s distinction is meaningless and your 30s are a kind of freedom

Probably a good time to pitch solar to the fam again. Our house has a kind of dumb setup for putting it on our roof but I just think it's gonna be useful in the future, at least until the entire city goes underwater due to rising sea levels.

#MoriNo the more I work on MKR the more influence Shigoro has on Situations and historically in my writing, these kinds of characters have been able to lean on the 4th wall & have some built-in dignity protection but he has neither lmao… he has, however, become my Specialest Little Boy 🦊

#signalis #wip I dont want to clean up my lineart so I started coloring. Dont look at Arianes hands

Garage with a zen garden on the roof. Pretty sure this wouldn’t be allowed in vancouver.

Simple fish barrier resurrects one of Lake Ontario’s last marshes. Native fish populations are recovering, water clarity has nearly doubled, and vegetated habitat expanded. The system’s success has now inspired similar wetland restoration projects across Canada. buff.ly/Itcs19r #ShareGoodNewsToo

On the 24th of May 2019, Promare by Studio Trigger was released in Japanese theatres. The film was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and written by Kazuki Nakashima (both worked on Gurren Lagann & KLK). The film went on to make $17 Million worldwide. Happy 7th Anniversary 🎉

First color test for one of my new OC's, they'll be a couple, one is a yokai manipulating sorceress and the other a yokai possessed woman, containing a multitude of yokai inside her still need names tho

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

Oh, I know it's not cost. We don't have universal healthcare because there would be no legal way to make it white-only. White Americans used to love social programs for welfare, health, job training. Then, courts told them they had to share. Been paring it back ever since, even when it hurts them.

Fun fact: The invention of the camera directly lead to Impressionism as they realized that the technical ability to recreate what the eye saw was no longer valuable, and instead refocused on what the soul saw.
