Ancient organisms may have left microscopic "biosignatures" on Mars. That's according to NASA scientists, who say a rock sample offers the most concrete proof yet that the red planet once hosted life.

Seven short stories about men who have lost or lack, for one reason or another, a significant woman in their lives. This one left me contemplating everything.

Military spending around the globe is roughly double that of peak spending in WW2, according to researchers.
Not overly surprising considering the lesson in the US was to pour into it, but for the world? Yikes.

Pretty big news.
BREAKING: Australia will purchase 11 Japanese-made frigates in what will be Tokyo’s biggest-ever postwar defense contract, Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles announced Tuesday, in a major win for Japan’s defense industry.

Been sick with a bout of covid and a stomach bug, simultaneously, this week. I finally felt well enough to not only get out of bed, but to go outside for a while. With the heat, there was a breeze that would carry mist over to me. Made it pleasant.
And now it's raining.

1 year ago, I was in the midst in my first adventure outside of the US and in Japan. So struck was I, I have had a strong longing to return.
Side note to the trip: I was watching the Olympics in Japanese and seeing sports we don't see on broadcast tv, like fencing and martial arts.

Well, this is interesting. I wonder how much they'd be willing to bring in those without much knowledge or skill in Japanese (but are either learning or willing to put in an effort to learn the language)...
The government has adopted a basic policy to start a new residency qualification system for accepting human resources from overseas in April 2027, in a bid to secure foreign talent.
Japan to start new residency system for foreign workers
The aim is to systematically develop foreign human resources and ensure they stay in Japanese workplaces for the long term.

And I FINALLY decided what was next because this damn regime can't stop trying to idiolize fascist authoritarians.
It is specifically looking at those not in the SS and official Nazi groups but who also took part in the persecution and rounding up into camps, like certain police units and others.

Your all time favorite movie.
I really don't have favorites that sit at the top of anything very often. Series, maybe, or films that trade places with each other or sit near the top together, none truly surpassing the other. Many here are those sorts of films. This is one I haven't used yet.

Step into the world of Japanese supernatural creatures as they come to life through the power of digital technology in the "Yokai Immersive Experience Exhibition" in the city of Nagoya.
Get your summer chills in at yōkai exhibition in Nagoya
The main attraction of the exhibition is a room themed on a wild dance of such supernatural creatures, with moving images of them filling the room's walls, ceiling and floor.

A book that is essentially a history on yokai knowledge and evolution of some stories, drawings, and how some came to Japan from elsewhere and how some have become global phenomenon. It does not have a comprehensive list.
