Publication day! This was one of the hardest stories I’ve ever translated, both for the language and content. It’s also one of the most important stories I’ve translated. I hope as many people as possible will read it and reflect on the reality of war.

No matter how many times I look at this code, it just can’t be anything but a misprint. But is it possible? Seymour Papert’s Mindstorms is such an influential book published in 1980 by Basic Books, and it’s still not fixed in my 2020 copy (p. 123).

Sadly, this question reminds me of Elaine’s answer after Kramer asks her ‘how many sperms should I have?’: A lot.

Japanese singer Nancy Umeki got her name because someone thought she looks like Ernie Bushmiller’s Nancy.

ヘンじゃない!Who wouldn’t love the title 淫力魔人 (Iggy and the Stooges’s Raw Power), which sounds good in both Japanese (inryoku majin) and Cantonese (jamlik mojan).

Surprising to no one except naive tech evangelists, it seems that increasing reliance on AI tools is strongly correlated with a decline in critical thinking ability.

Children should be kept away from this poison as long as possible while their brains are still forming.

Again and again, Apple Music shows that it doesn't really care about meta data. This is a new reissue from 2024 and the actual recording date is nowhere to be seen on the page. (It's 1953)

Sheena Ringo is still the only one on NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen that uses vertical layout for lyrics, as it should be.

I used the term ‘progressive music fans’ today without thinking much but I suddenly realize it's completely necessary to add this note: I meant fans of progressive music, not progressive person who loves music. I wonder how many progressive people actually like Magma or Sublime Frequencies.
