One thing that's missing here are #introduction posts for newcomers or welcoming them. I'll start: I'm #French, settled in #Japan. I mostly post about #nature (the good and the bad), my corner of Japan (the one with the #art #islands), #crows and sometimes #English #education in the country.

250 MILLION people displaced in a world approaching 1.4C above pre-industrial temperatures.

We’re on track for…
2C in years.
3C in decades.
4C likely in our children’s lifetimes.

When scientists warn of BILLIONS of deaths they’re not kidding.

1X NEO, the first-ever humanoid robot for home use, is now available for preorder. Should you buy one? Should anyone buy one?

I have thoughts.

There was a great art to the building of drystone field walls, since, without mortar, every stone needed to be held in place by gravity.

Construction styles varied according to locality and stone type, and some walls could be 100s or even 1,000s of years old (but with periodic repairs).

Last day of the Setouchi Triennale 2025 today. Going to Megijima and Ogijima, going to revisit one last time some of the temporary art.
It's kind of a good thing the weather is not that great. It's less crowded than expected (the earlier boat may have been crowded, though.

"Kotoden in Kagawa Prefecture"
Many railways in Japan are associated with religions, and Kotoden in Takamatsu is a good example. This article briefly introduces its history, as if a book for tourists.
