Re: Geo-locked.
There is an album of remixes released by Japanese artist, Yoko Oginome, called "Dancing Hero (All Eat You Up) [Remixes]"
I can listen to it on Spotify no problem, but the album on Apple Music is not available in Ireland. It's available on the UK and US versions of Apple Music.
Now, I get that it is more than likely something on the label side (Victor Entertainment), but geographical restrictions are such an archaic excuse.

Free course: "The Stories We Live By," an online course in ecolinguistics provided by the University of Gloucestershire.
"The course examines a wide range of texts from advertisements, lifestyle magazines and economics textbooks to surfing guides, Native American sayings and Japanese animation. In each case, the question is whether the stories that underlie texts encourage us to care about people and the ecosystems that life depends on."

There’s a new museum on Naoshima Island! This NYT article also describes the many other museums and exhibits installed there.

I'm mad at websites that use code that make Firefox unusable. I'd prefer to use one browser, but at some sites I've found that links don't work as soon as one link have been clicked. All links are unclickable when I go back to an earlier side in the browser. Hi cromium, and thus, hi second set of plug-ins/extensions...

Found a way to make a scammer to hang up on me. She was calling from 'Microsoft' and wanted me to download a file so she could remove a virus from my computer.
So I told her that I had to go to my computer, and continued to ask her what she was wearing, if she touched her self while she was working and so on. Success! The 'dirty man' trick worked! She hung up on me 😂
