Why is this game so gaddem beautiful? #GhostOfTsushima
Screenshot from the game Ghost of Tsushima, showing the protagonist, Jin Sakai, seated on a horse, looking across a bay towards a brilliant golden sunset. He is wearing white lacquered samurai armor, and a helmet topped with deer horns. A bow and quiver are on his back.

Consider the resemblance. Clearly, juvenile tyrannosaurs were also puppy.

Beating your officers, cursing yourselves,
Opposing laws with strokes, and here defying

The image we’ve all been waiting for. It is now officially 2026 in Tokyo 🎉

"Nothing is permanent except for change," a lesson I learned not from a philosopher but from following sumo in 2025.

Looking back at the rankings of January 2025, Terunofuji was our sole yokozuna with three ozeki-- Kotozakura, Hoshoryu and Onosato right behind him.

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love.

Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

do you gotta personify the dead trees in the vacant lot too. they're having a hard enough time without you imagining they have an opinion about what's happening

Wondermark #1578; In which Trees are a Lot
Two men, LENID and RINNY, are browsing a Christmas tree lot. Lenid looks admiringly at a big bushy tree. LENID: What do you think of this one? RINNY: Yeah! Looks great. I'll get in line to pay. LENID: Don't you want to look at any others? RINNY: WHY? This one's fine! Good choice! Let's get it and be done! LENID: We JUST GOT here! RINNY: And now we can MINIMIZE our time here to go enjoy the REST of our life! LENID: Just take one walk around. See if there are any other contenders. RINNY (rolling his eyes): Fine Rinny walks among the other trees, dismissing each handily. RINNY: No. No. No. Inferior. Inferior. Inferior... Actually, THIS one's pretty. Let me see the one you chose again? LENID: SEE? Aren't you GLAD I made you look? RINNY: I'm SORRY, trees! You all seem perfectly nice! But we INSIST on making all but ONE of you into LOSERS we have to ACTIVELY REJECT! We could have ben TEN BLOCKS AWAY by now but INSTEAD we're gonna make you ALL feel bad!

T-Rex: Ah yes - time for me to walk in a big loop, returning home with nothing to show for it... T-Rex: ...despite hours and hours of effort?? Dromiceiomimus: Ah, hiking. You're talking about hiking, right, perhaps the exemplar for "it's the journey not the destination"? T-Rex: Indeed I am, Dromiceiomimus! Dromiceiomimus: And don't you value, I don't know - escaping into the woods and looking at trees? T-Rex: A proper image search can show me orders of magnitude more trees than can be seen on ANY hike!! Utahraptor: Yes, but - T-Rex: I'm serious, I can look at a photo of a forest and see more trees than I'd see on ANY hike. Heck, I can look at a photo of both sides of Earth and TECHNICALLY be looking at EVERY TREE in the KNOWN UNIVERSE! In fact, I'm going to do that right now!! Narrator: SHORTLY: T-Rex: FRIG, it's too low-resolution to see any trees! Off panel: So hey, you wanna spend a pleasant afternoon walking in the woods with friends instead? T-Rex: Eugh T-Rex: FINE
