Two black cats at their food dishes. The fluffy grown up cat on the right is eating, the young black cat on the left is stretching out on the floor facing away from the food dishes.
Weirdo.

I finally agree with the moron on something. No country should play the World Cup, for their safety, and for their ethics.

The International Booker Prize celebrates works of translated fiction from around the world and highlights the symbiotic relationship between translators and their authors. But what exactly does a translator do? We asked three of them...

Not my birthday, but Mario day because Mar10 ๐
Happy Mario day to those who celebrate! ๐
Apart from kurayamisaka, Hammer Head Shark are probably my favourite j-rock act right now. This is catchy as hell, but what makes it special for me is ใชใใ (Nagai's) vocals.

I don't often feel sorry for Starmer, but I don't wish having to speak to that moronic heap of shit on anyone...
Starmer speaks with Trump after president criticises lack of UK support for Iran strikes
It's your choice of course, I won't tell you what to do ๐. I personally deleted my X account ages ago and never follow links to X content, because I see using X as legitimising the platform. Plus I do not believe reasonable arguments on social media are ever changing people's minds.
Our kitten managed to work out how the cat flap works (watching our older cat paid off), and I don't think I've ever seen a more excited or happy cat.
He spent a full five hours out there (it's just a small city garden), sniffing, chasing insects, watching birds... and now he's fully zonked out ๐
I just finished The South, without realising it's the first of four books. This makes me really happy, because The South is absolutely sublime. I've loved most of Tash Aw's books that I've read, but this is really special. Can't wait for the next one!

All so the pedophile rapist fuck can try and draw attention away from the Epstein files. Sicker than sick.

A lot on Bandcamp, but I'm also really into Japanese music, and ototoy.jp is great for that (but that's niche unless you're into Japanese music ๐)
I'm not buying CDs but a huge amount of digital lossless. I have a Jellyfin setup that lets me stream everything I own (well over 1000 albums)...
"Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, has posted a video on social media doubling down on his claims that the Gorton and Denton byelection result was a victory for sectarian voting and cheating."
Baby-Trump is at it again...
Tha fascist fuckwits just don't like losing...
The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.
Hmmmmmm.
Having called our newest kitten Jiji (because he's black and has huge ears), it's nice to see Jiji being at the top of the list of Mitski's favourite cats. ๐ฝ
(Also extra points for the mention of Soseki's unnamed cat.)
Mitski Shares Her Favorite Cats of All Time in New Interview
What this result signals, like a bell ringing out across the land, is that Britainโs slide towards fascism is NOT in fact inevitable, we CAN still choose a brighter path. Rejoice! All is not lost! โจ๐ซ
Today is a good day ๐
"The music industry has spent a decade obsessing over how to get a million people to listen to a song once. The next decade will be defined by artists figuring out how to get 1,000 people to care forever."
The death of Spotify won't be quick, but I do so very much hope this is true.
Yay!!! lightningbolt.bandcamp.com/album/the-ho...
That was also one of the loudest gigs I've ever been to (definitely by far the loudest in Japan), so much so that some people walked out... But yes, amazing.
