Japan Daily on Instagram: "Residents in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district are reporting a surge in abandoned suitcases left in residential neighborhoods by foreign tourists. Security footage has captured individuals discarding old luggage late at night, likely after purchasing new replacements to transport souvenirs home. According to local regulations in Toshima Ward, items larger than 30 centimeters are classified as oversized waste and require a specific fee and advance reservation for pickup. Many of the abandoned items lack the necessary disposal stickers, creating a significant burden for local communities and sanitation services. Experts suggest that the rise of private lodging facilities contributes to the issue, as off-site owners may not provide guests with adequate instructions regarding waste disposal. To combat this trend, Haneda Airport has begun broadcasting multilingual warnings, and officials are currently considering new collection systems and potential penalties to manage unwanted luggage."

The image is a graphic design featuring bold, stylized text against a vibrant, solid royal blue background. The primary focus is the word "ZATHRAS" rendered in large, uppercase letters. These letters are a bright, warm orange with a distinct red outline, giving them a three-dimensional, embossed appearance. The shadows cast by the red outline suggest light coming from the top left.

Below "ZATHRAS," and slightly to the left, is the word "FOR" in a smaller, italicized font, also in the same oran…

Just finished "Future Home of the Living God" by Louise Erdrich. It's a beautiful and entrancing novel in many ways, but I couldn't bring myself to like the ending. I think in one of my most recent book posts I complained about a deus ex machina, so it's ironic that in this case as the pages dwindled I was fully prepared to accept and even welcome one, especially with all of the deus-related stuff going on already. I am left profoundly unsure as to whether Erdrich imagines a positive future beyond our current oppressions, or just futility, when for most of the book it seemed like the former, which is something I seek out in earnest these days. It is of course impressive that a book about innocents being hunted through the streets of Minneapolis & Saint Paul, while a volunteer citizens network organizes to keep them safe, could be published in 2017. There are strong echoes of Octavia Butler here, and in both cases I think it's a marginalized position which allows authors to see with clarity that most mainstream authors miss or don't even attempt.
I think I will seek out more of Erdrich's writing, but only after a bit of a break.

Lately I've been thinking about how #Gentoo is perceived by people. So often they're stuck in the "ricer" mindset: Gentoo is being built from source, so it must be ZOMG fast. And if it isn't, then what's the point?
If I were to make four points for Gentoo (to stop myself from making more), they would be:
1. Gentoo is independent.
There is no company behind Gentoo. There is no business plan. It's made and maintained by volunteers. Driven by passion and not profit incentive. And we want to keep it that way.
2. Gentoo aims to be secure.
We are maintaining our own infrastructure to reduce the risk of being hijacked. We're securing our distribution channels and mirrors using OpenPGP. We're only using Codeberg (which we really appreciate) and GitHub as mirrors (with OpenPGP commit signatures) and contribution channels. We have a dedicated security team, who works with the developers to keep packages free of vulnerabilities and our users informed.
3. Gentoo is made by humans.
We banned LLM contributions two years ago, and never regretted it. We didn't "wait and see", we took decisive action, and if we got left behind, it's only for the better. Unfortunately, in today's LLM-ridden world we can't stop slop software from being packaged in Gentoo without sacrificing our commitment to keep packages up to date, but we try to keep the worst offenders (like copywashed chardet) at bay.
4. Gentoo supports sustainability.
This may sound ironic when so many of us build everything from source, but we're actually trying to make computing sustainable. Gentoo's source-first nature makes it inherently flexible. We try our best to support a plethora of older and less common hardware. We go against the flow and still try to provide a workable system on hardware that is not supported by Rust or V8. And on top of that, we do our best to provide binary packages for a variety of configurations.
Of course, that's not all. I want Gentoo to be reliable and stable, to be oriented towards privacy by default, to be welcome and respectful.
And all these things ultimately depend on people working on Gentoo, and contributing to Gentoo. We always need more people that share these principles and want to help us achieve them.
What do you appreciate in Gentoo?

One of the typical scenes that we had throughout that day. The path wasn't always so well and broad like this. It often was narrow and more natural, but we also enjoyed walking along such sections.
The green was just amazing and calming. And I didn't even have to wait until there was noone else in the scene - it really isn't very frequented, so we could enjoy it all by our own

This image captures a serene and inviting forest path, evoking a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. A dirt trail, slightly uneven and covered in fallen leaves, winds its way through the lush greenery. The path is flanked by tall trees with dense canopies, their vibrant green leaves creating a natural tunnel that filters the sunlight, casting dappled light and shadow on the forest floor.
To the left of the path, a small stream or river is visible, its calm waters reflecting the surrounding…

A wide-angle, low-angle shot of a vibrant blue sky filled with scattered white and grey cumulus clouds. In the lower right, a large, dark cloud partially obscures the sun, causing bright crepuscular rays (sunbeams) to radiate upward and outward into the clear blue expanse. Small, wispy cloud fragments are scattered across the center, and a faint, thin vapor trail from a plane is visible in the middle left. The overall lighting is bright and ethereal, suggesting late afternoon.

If public libraries didn't exist
current centrists — everyone right of Mamdani and left of McCain — would be telling us that they're "unrealistic"
and the rest of the right would scream about "socialism!"
And the rightists would be correct

This is insane. I read few days ago how Dawa Sherpa was left behind on Everest. He was considered dead and nobody was sent to rescue him because the mountain had been closed already (late in season).
He found his way back alone after 6 days

Seven seats left to be distributed from the list votes. All from Highland.
The end result could be beautiful, or a total disaster. I feel ill.

The Trump administration is taking its targeting of its political enemies to new levels.
Last summer in Texas, a noise demo that escalated has led to
nine people being convicted of federal charges,
including “material aid for terrorism.”
The so-called “North Texas antifa cell” has raised concerns on the left about future prosecutions

I pushed a very small change to #LeftWordle just now. I show the game number and date just below the Left Wordle Banner. There is an x on the far right side to dismiss it - probably important on smallish phone screens.

The Voting Rights Act ended Jim Crow. But now the Supreme Court — Chief Justice John Roberts’ Court — has effectively ended much of what’s left of the Voting Rights Act — setting the stage for voters of color to be silenced.
Now it’s up to us to defend the freedom to participate in our democracy. The actions we take now will help determine whose voice gets heard and which communities get locked out of political power.

To the left a plume of smoke is rising behind a black pickup truck with a trailer, i have no idea if it is somebody cooking or from a wildcat firework;  in the middle a crowd fills a dirt trail, on the left people are queued behind a purple tape for a larged baked potato truck with banners and a small frozen banana booth with a row of wide and tall trees behind.

In its latest attempt to circumvent state laws and regulations,
Sable Offshore Corp. is reportedly asking the federal government to seize the ground California has left to stand on — literally. 
The Houston-based oil company reportedly asked the Trump administration to exercise eminent domain to condemn and seize miles of private and state-owned land that contain its legally embattled oil pipelines. 
Sable restarted oil production in March in Santa Barbara County from its o…

“We believe for the movement to continue, it can’t be me

Platner said Wednesday night.
