Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

100% agree. I saw some dunks on this paper that went something like “you used a fake model of behavior and then got afraid of its fake actions”. Which, to a certain extent, fair. But the flipside of that is that the literature also uses a “fake”, if more reassuring, model for human behavior.

Interesting

Then, the whole thing just turns UPSIDE DOWN! Like... the entire castle is inverted Tifa. The music keeps getting epic and the boss fights harder... its amazing. #FF7 #Castlevania

I had to finally accept that film is too expensive to be my only shooting option. I bought a used Fujifilm X20 to be my non-analog travel camera and tested it around a bit in Kichijoji

Oh no

Hello

Does anyone on my skyline want to get a beer in Kichijoji right now? These places are so cute 🥹

There are worse things in life

Left out of today’s rosy NYT story on Hokkaido ski resorts is the fact Niseko is increasingly viewed as a worst-case scenario by many local tourist boards. Literally. They call the overwhelming of local services and pushing out of local residents by tourists “Niseko-ka,” or “Niseko-ization.”

The most disrespectful thing foreigners do when they come to Japan is not look cool. You’re ruining everyone’s vibe, man.

My only point these past few years has been that the structure of our social media selects for this. As long as our social media is built around maximum engagement, our politics will tend towards Mr. Beast politics

Tried finding a steam deck on sale in Tokyo (in theory they sell it in stores here) but nobody has them

I love how clear it is in BLAME that the author doesn’t really want to write a plot, he just wants to draw sick structures

Nixon: Homosexuals don’t [inaudible]. But they have a new word for it. Look maximizing. Haldeman: Looksmaxing, Mr President. Nixon: Right. [Expletive deleted] are always Look Maxing.

The left is going to end up with the CIA in the national divorce because educational polarization means knowing anything about China or Iran at all is woke coded, let alone leaning their language and history.

Eu tenho uma pergunta muito séria: por que que, na aviação civil brasileira, se convencionou que os pilotos todos falariam “pela atenção, obrigado” e não a ordem mais usual que é “obrigado pela atenção”. Perco o sono com isso

Honestly I don’t CARE if the attorney is asexual or not

What I’ve learned about East Asian economic development is that it doesn’t seem to matter too much what model you use, everything converges to a relatively egalitarian consumerist society with good fashion and lots of twinks in popular culture, a bit like how everything eventually turns into a crab

My biggest criticism of Bluesky is that it is morphologically too similar to twitter (timeline, same buttons, numbers of interactions etc) I wish they had tried something new on a more structural level of how we interact with the information we see

I hate coming to Shinjuku because Google maps will always tell you to use some fuckass exit that only exists in some inter-dimensional space on thursdays. Yeah, sure, I’ll exit through East Marina Exit South

I’m on Bluesky. I (mostly) enjoy Bluesky. But I find this periodic cycle of self-affirmation (“Bluesky is growing well”, “Bluesky is more relevant than X”) one of the most tiring discourses on this platform.

Need to make this into an unhinged YouTube video with a thumbnail that says “George Bush pacifist?!”

In one of my best ideas ever, I arrived in Japan and went immediately to the onsen inside Haneda airport. Such a vibe watching the planes take off from inside the hot water on the 12th floor of a building while the wind whips your hair around

Basically looking for the biggest villain ever
