Here are some links I found interesting- with minimal comment.
- The Zvi on recent, viral, AI-written fiction
- Useful reporting about the intersection of crypto and drumpism
- The new Utsonomiya tram (宇都宮ライトレール)
An illustration from the internet (a few months late, sorry).

A quote.
“Ignorance is rarely an accident. It operates with precision, lurking in classrooms where history is selectively taught, in courtrooms where justice bends under the weight of wilfull blindness, and in cabinets of power where silence is often the most strategic policy. It is not simply the absence of knowledge but the calculated absence of knowledge, forged to serve particular ends.” – Colin W P Lewis
