Seems like Turkey is playing a key role!

It’s getting weird and will only get weirder

「山陰新幹線」「新京都駅」など思惑交錯　北陸新幹線延伸

北陸新幹線の敦賀（福井県）－新大阪延伸を巡り、京都府内の自治体による誘致活動が再燃している。いったんは同県小浜市から京都市内を通る案に決まったが、市街地での着工めどが立たず、ルートが再検討されることになったためだ。日本海に面する舞鶴市は山陰新幹線につなげたい考えで、京都市に隣接する亀岡市では「新京都駅」の設置構想も浮上。延伸計画が膠着状態に陥る中、各自治体の思惑が交錯している。

I liked Rogue One. I guess I’ll check it out! I’ve been burned too many times by Apple, Netflix, Prime etc series that start strong and then just meander around. Pluribus is the most recent one.

Yes, I saw that. It is very good coverage. I'm looking for more granular coverage. I think a big difference in this war is there is an Internet blackout across Iran.

I haven't seen much detailed coverage. The Guardian leads with it but very general stuff. My sense is that it is difficult to get accurate information.

Today is International Women's day
In the struggles of the #MilkTeaAlliance we see women whose leadership, passion, strength are foundational. They have sacrificed much & often have to fight against misogyny within movements too
We owe them everything

Besides the CNN reporting and some limited coverage by Al Jazeera, there isn't much coverage of this war, at all. Very troubling.

Oooh, this would benefit from your Fujifilm and a tripod. Do you have your gear with you in Canada? (Hope the trip went okay, and my condolences about your father).

I think the blurb in the caption does seem to be... odd.

Fukui. It's a nice place.

It's so good.

"You were sleeping around on my daughter, weren't you?"
"Huh?" (later on explains just how far he could go because of her)

Since the start of the Russian war on Ukraine, has had the most info-dense analysis of any amateur YouTuber.

I use Claude, particularly Cowork and Code. I refuse to interact with it as anything other than a machine that understands natural language, because that is the first step towards Wilson the Basketball. There’s an entire subreddit devoted to that, by the way.

The Daily Mail going to Tony Blair for a take on conflict in the Middle East, is it?

Airwars analysis shows pace of US-Israel campaign unparalleled in modern conflict

"US & Israel alone together are averaging as many air strikes per day as the entire coalition during 1st Gulf War...each struck 3000+ targets respectively. That's nearly 1000 targets each day or one every two minutes"

No, it’s because Japan uses 10,000 as the base unit for large numbers. I suspect as well you may be uneducated about 銭.

What do giant sloths eat in the winter? Avocados?

I am in BC and I am annoyed by the shift to permanent DLST.

In protest, tomorrow I adopt Japanese traditional time, “The typical clock had six numbered hours from nine to four, which counted backwards from noon until midnight; the hour numbers 1, 2, and 3 were not used… for religious reasons”

Japan, too. “Wow, it cost a million yen!”
