Posted in: How would you define cancel culture? Please give some examples. See in context
We find it so humorous/ridiculous to see the advertisements of Dr.s smoking in the fifties, but scowl and/or avoid so many other fifties statements that somehow carry more weight.

That was an easy and obvious decision, tougher ones are ahead. So easy to be a naysayer but if somehow Japan can pull this off, where we are now, with only 4 months to go I'll be very impressed.

Posted in: Toyota begins building smart city near Mt Fuji See in context
I applaud them for taking this on. Of course It won't be just traditional post & beam construction ( 在来工法) as used in individual houses, but will hopefully incorporate the essence of it with innovation while still using wood. As a powerful Japanese company, Toyota's approach to the future seems to me much better than the haphazard approach of Masayoshi Son.

Looking forward to this match. Usually would never say Serena got over-powered, but I think Osaka will do it.

Posted in: Matsumoto Castle: An irresistible air of composure and grace See in context
I remember reading a sign that said that the castle was painted black to absorb the sunlight and keep the castle warmer during the cold winters in Nagano.
I don't disagree with this theoretically, but was that really the case?

Matsumoto Castle is worth a visit, but certainly make it more than a day trip from Tokyo. Spend a night and enjoy the many local places. Also wainscoting cannot be the correct term or inference for the black exterior portion, it must have been for some defensive reason I imagine.
