@tsturm@famichiki.jp Yeah, this place was fantastic - way better than I was expecting! I think being old enough to remember using some but not all of it is key. Like, "I remember BUYING that, what do you mean it's a museum piece?" (I liked their little mini-display of "popular phones in Japan when Steve Jobs announced the iPhone".)

The sakura have sakked. Commence contemplation of ephemeral and contingent nature of all things. I repeat, we are but foam on the ceaseless stream of reality, all is transient, over

@glyph This is a great thread but it IS scary to consider that there absolutely would be police standing guard over it until it can be fixed, people saying “If we don't repair the transforming killing machine, China will,” an op-ed in the NYT headed “My Don’t-Want-To-Be-Killed-By-a-Smirking-Robert-Patrick Friends Are Crazy,” principals signing deals with Google to have murderbots stalk classrooms (guardrails: only kill kids named John Connor), &c

This article is maddening. First of all, there is confusion: Are platforms “falling silent,” or just playing melodies from JR’s library rather than distinctive this-station-only ones? It seems to be the latter. Secondly, it is obviously ridiculous to suggest that there is no way to make music play on a platform without the driver getting out to push a button. So the problem is almost certainly licensing costs. Why not just say so?!

@AnthoDerv@famichiki.jp I would like a new BOC album, but I have to admit, I would respect the hell out of them using some of their bajillions just to send mysterious VCR tapes to some people and then never release a related album or follow up or explain in any other way.

The deer that escaped from Nara apparently lost its national treasure status and is now just wild. Truly Alan Moore-esque arc.

Tama-chan from Chibi Maruko-chan is now appearing in artfully blurred black and white posters offering you a beer with a knowing smirk. Feel old yet?

@glen_malley@mstdn.ca At that point might as well make it magnitude 12 or something. Really lean into it. "Ghidorah is currently active in Minato-ku..."

@glen_malley@mstdn.ca That's scary! I was in Landmark Tower and it swayed like hell, but it is of course designed to (giant pendulum in the middle, etc.). But since there are no drills that make the whole building sway like that, there's no way to get a sense for the difference between "normal swaying after big earthquake" and "more swaying than building is designed to take, it's about to snap off and crush the ferris wheel"... just gotta hope that the architects knew what they were doing

@jonuriarte@tldr.nettime.org A lot of people seem to believe that it was an intentional dog whistle thing and the executives just misjudged how angry it would make normal people. In which case the AI thing is basically an enabling factor, or perhaps an excuse. I don’t know Korean or understand enough about Korean history and society to weigh up the evidence there, but “Right-wingers in echo chamber overestimate their popularity” is certainly a plausible story...
