I saw a post talking about “mending” and thought it was the latest pop psych therapy talk term to hit the mainstream but then I realized they really were just talking about fixing up clothes.

Self is an Illusion, but it can be a Useful one - at times. Like when it keeps "You" out of "Traffic".

Planning to move house here in Taiwan. A friend suggests I go to seek the help of 土地公 / tǔdì gōng, the local earth god. I ask whether I should speak to the god of the place I'm leaving, or the place I'm moving to. My friend says either is okay because the tǔdì gōngs "keep their data in the cloud."

I was thinking of going to Japan in January…
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, "Paprika" will be re-released in Japanese theaters on January 2, 2026 (nationwide).
The other films by the late Satoshi Kon will also be screened in January at the Cine Quinto theater (Tokyo).

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

For decades, this Mexican artist has embraced eye-popping whimsy — giant pears atop buildings and hands as chairs. At 89, he's not done yet.
