Genuinely laughed when I was on my way back out of London the other day between Hammersmith and the M4 and one of the storage depots near the flyover has powered down the S on the SELF STORAGE neons, so now (presumably for the season) it reads “ELF STORAGE”.
Both sides of the building have the same letter switched off, so it’s definitely deliberate!

Cosa succederebbe se un incrociatore inglese entrasse nelle acque della #Crimea accompagnato da navi ucraine e la #Russia aprisse il fuoco? Scatterebbe l'articolo 5 della Nato?
La Crimea è considerata dell’Ucraina e così le sue acque territoriali.
Anche senza entrare nella Nato l'Ucraina potrebbe far scattare l'articolo 5 della Nato.

Most fine dining SF restaurants try to do some Asian fusion these days and they often do it poorly (largely because they don’t do the Asian part well).
This comment made me laugh coz it’s been my experience with most of them.
“The fried rice tastes like the healthy fried rice my mom makes me eat at home. To be clear, I wouldn’t eat these dishes if someone gave it to me for free.”
(This is a review of a SF restaurant I especially dislike)
I now have a "Now" page. That is all.

Just as it’s never 'the right time' to discuss gun control after a mass slaughter in the USA, it’s never the right time for a facile commentator like David Frum to mention Israel's slaughter of 70k+ in present-day Palestine by the world's only self-described officially 'Jewish' state.
Context only matters when it supports the white/colonialist narrative.
Because, as Frum intimates, they're only inhuman savages, these enemies of Western civilization.

I am in disbelief that the only argument I'm seeing mobilized against age verification laws (and their accompanying social media bans) is “It sucks for privacy!”, and not “why the fuck are we okay imposing a digital jail on every single child?”
Digital privacy matters and it's an important reason why these laws must be repealed at all costs, but let's also please humanize the issue here: social media bans for minors are just another massive chapter in the conservative's playbook to deprive any social class that's not ‘adult white males’ of their bodily and existential autonomy.
That same playbook has chapters we're already familiar with, including staples such as “let's force gay kids back into the closet”, “trans kids shouldn’t be able to decide anything for themselves”, “women shouldn't have a bank account”, and “abortion should be illegal”.

And as usual, think of who this is going to affect the most. Spoiler alert: it ain't gonna be the cis white boys, it ain't gonna be the neurotypical children, and it ain't gonna be the rich kids.
Pretty sure we have words to describe that phenomenon where a society is dominated by policies that are designed to exclude and discriminate against its weakest classes of individuals.

Some amazing Tennessee news! His fabulous cat sitter came by seven times, and on four of those visits she was able to pet him for a bit, mostly in my office. This from a cat who would, before this month, run away from anyone but me.
Of course, he was still glad I was back home. He's sitting on the desk next to me right now, purring his little heart out.
The Bondi Beach massacre should make it clear that antisemitism is becoming increasingly common. Part of the problem is the conflation of Israel with the Jewish diaspora, by both the government of Israel and antisemites.
Opposition to the Israeli government is a sane and justified position. Hatred and violence towards the Jewish or Israeli peoples is not.

¿Sabían que la sal en el ring de sumo no es un simple capricho cultural, sino un ritual de purificación sintoísta?
Antes de cada combate de sumo, los luchadores (rikishi) arrojan puñados de sal al dohyō (el ring de arcilla). Esta práctica, que consume alrededor de 45 kilogramos de sal en un solo día de torneo, tiene un origen profundamente arraigado en la religión nativa de Japón, el sintoísmo.
En el sintoísmo, la sal se considera un elemento sagrado con el poder de alejar los malos espíritus, las energías negativas y las impurezas. El dohyō es tratado como un espacio sagrado, y cada combate se considera una ofrenda a los dioses (kami).
Al esparcir la sal, los luchadores purifican simbólicamente el área de combate, pidiendo la bendición de los dioses, asegurando la seguridad del lugar y, según la creencia popular, previniendo lesiones durante el enfrentamiento.

Un luchador de sumo está en medio de un ritual en un ring circular. El luchador es un hombre corpulento con el pelo peinado en un moño superior. Lleva un taparrabos azul y calcetines blancos. Está de pie sobre un montículo de arena, con las manos extendidas y arrojando arena al aire. Al fondo, una gran multitud de personas está sentada observando en un ambiente interior. La arena arrojada por el luchador es visible en forma de una nube brillante que se extiende hacia la derecha de la imagen.

The English word ‘sad’ is related to ‘to satisfy’, ‘to satiate’, ‘saturation’ and ‘asset’, a group of words that English borrowed from French and Latin.
They all derive from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning “to satiate”.
‘Sæd’, the Old English ancestor of ‘sad’, meant “sated; full; weary; having had your fill”. Only in Middle English did it come to mean “sorrowful”.
