On the recommendation of a friend, went to the excellent Hamburger Bahnhof yesterday - it's an art museum, not a train station, as the name may suggest!
Very cool, not in the least because of the immersive exhibit in the main hall - basically the size of a football/rugby field full of 10cm cubed wooden blocks. Full of kids building the most elaborate structures

You might be seeing in “news outlets” that Robert Kraft will be donating to Gaza.
It’s what we used to call “a lie”.
Not sure what the cool kids call it today.

I've been watching the Grand Sumo tourney in Nagoya, Japan. Always found it an interesting niche of Japanese culture. IDK, maybe it was cause I was an E. Honda player as a kid in the arcades back in the day, lol. Kinda crazy there's some sumo that are still doing it at 50, and beating kids more than half their age 😮 Some of the weight disparities are wild as well. Matches where the difference between sumo is more than *I* weigh. Also pretty cool to see some dudes from outside of Japa…

Went and saw my oldest friend playing some harmonies and folks songs with his sister in law and her niece as 'seahouses', at a local open mic night.
Well, local to him. Utterly the opposite side of the city and a three hour round-trip for me. 🙄
Probably haven't seen the sister-in-law for twenty years, or met any of her kids before. They are beautiful and apparently know me by reputation, if only that song on their wedding video.
Been to a few of these sorts of folk open-mic nights with my parents years ago. Mostly a small number of regulars who play some songs for each other every week. They're good fun. Some community there. Should probably do that sort of thing more, only, somewhere this side of town.
Not quite tempted to join in. Would need to plan and rehearse, and probably take the loop pedal these days. Ain't that spontaneous. And all I've been playing for weeks and weeks is just the Red Dwarf theme over and over for some reason. Badly. The neighbors probably hate me.
Anyway, Sea Houses were chill and fun and sang more sweetly and harmoniously than I ever did.
Check 'em out if you want.

The most depressing news of the week, and this decade so far, is the UN's report that leaves no doubt that we will fail to hold global warming below 1.5ºC. But there is also hope, read on.
The world agreed in 2015 on 1.5ºC, championed, I might add, by a certain Canadian Prime Minister. Now, the best we could hold it to would be 1.8ºC and that would be at breakneck speed.
That Prime Minister is now hanging out with his kids, his girlfriend, and is generally getting on just fine...while his party oversees what they intend to be the greatest expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure and emissions (LNG and TMX2) in Canadian history.
Meanwhile the rest of us are left breathing in the smoke and fleeing the fires.
As a young adult 25 years ago, I thought we had time. I was optimistic. I thought surely we'd make the correction once the every-day consequences started to hit.
Well here we are, fully in the *beginning* of those consequences, and our governments have never been more committed to being the last one to sell the last drop of oil, coal, or gas.
No one disputes anymore that we have and are changing the climate.
The deniers lost.
But the oil companies are still winning.
The only way to save ourselves at this time and to have any hope of 1.8ºC or 2ºC or whatever the lowest possible temperature is that we can achieve, is to take the fight to the oil companies directly.
Physically.
Economically.
Until they cannot operate, pollute or continue as going concerns.
We are all of us feeling the impacts of climate change and what oil companies have done. That means today we have many many more people ready to fight than we ever have before.
We have to fight because they are already killing us, and because the rest of us must survive.
We will fight because if we don't, both they, and we, will die on a planet rendered unliveable by our own stupidity and greed.
So we fight. In every way you can. You fight.
