@nprofile…ucsf That's interesting because it mirrors issues with machine translation. Like an idiom translated literally, this is a case of data being insufficient to cover the lack of understanding. "Leering at a girl's ass" is not in your vocabulary if all you know about people's faces is Ghibli cartoons. And since a machine has no understanding of what's going on, it can't swap it with the appropriate cartoon equivalent. Exactly like MT fails at any creative solution at cultural issues...

Japanese picture of the week: American raccoon in the woods of Hanno (Saitama)
There's a story here: American raccoons in Japan are an invasive species tracing back to a pet boom in the eighties inspired by the Rascal the Raccoon animated series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rascal_the_Raccoon)
Possibly among the first Americans to immigrate for anime 😄

@npub14xr…tvs7 So funny 😆 But in reality, it seems to be caused by this service here apparently reaching 40M users on a glitch

It was never great to know how Google would spy us every second we use their site.
But it's quite shocking to see Windows calling home literally every two minutes.
I've read a comment about how we should start treating our own OS like an hostile environment, just like the web. And as scary as it sounds, the data seems to agree.

Really wishing there was a way to tell clients that when I disagree with them, I'm less of an artist fighting for their vision and more a plumber reminding how putting a toilet on the ceiling is really a bad idea.

Stealth political messaging in Italy: upside-down fascists.
After being captured and executed, the body of deposed Italian fascist dictator Benito was famously shown in Milan hanging from his feet.
This has led to a common prank in Italy where things associated with fascism get turned upside-down as sign of mockery.

Sapido. Fritto, ma così leggero che sembra focaccia. Servito ancora tiepido con verdurine di montagna. Da questa terrazza qui.

I like the technique here 😄
One pile for border pieces and then zoning by color?
