The whole remastered first Squirtgun album just hit streaming today.

It’s one of those records I remember buying on the day it came out.

An illustration of boy with yellow hair in a red and white striped shirt hold two squirt guns, one of which he is pointing at the viewer.

Still have strong reservations (putting it mildly?) about Kōmeitō / Soka Gakkai, but I’ll take it.

Big upheaval in Japanese politics. Today (Japan time), after a ninety minute meeting between Saitō, head of Komeito, and Takaichi, the LDP politician who recently won her party’s presidency, Saitō announced an end to their parties’ 26-year-long coalition agreement.

Which leads me to an absolutely desperate plea: is there anyone in Japan who can collect this bag (not from Oshima [probably from Kyoto]) for us and send us the contents?

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

Golden hour hits different above 2600 meters. ✨🌅

NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory basks in that sunset ✨glow✨ at its site on Cerro Pachón. And with over 300 clear nights on average per year here, that's a lot of sunset basking we get to do! 🔭🧪
