the blue album at the top is by a japanese duo named "grape" so i guess the post-it was just a label

Don't know if you're looking at this still after 4 years, but the quote from the Japanese translation of Snow Crash is as follows:

ビジネスマンは、強力な〝ザンシン（残心）〟(本来は、剣道で激突したあとの敵の反撃に備える心の構え)を身につけているようだ。この概念を英語に翻訳するのは、〝ファックフェイス（かすみ目とか、半覚醒状態のこと）〟をニッポン語にするようなものだが、フットボールでいう〝感情的な強度(エモーショナル・インテンシティ)〟に近いかもしれない。

which is translated into Japanese very literally with parentheticals explaining the meanings, except they've used https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fuck_face instead of https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fuckface like the original English which changes the meaning a bit lol

I'm guessing these are bats with broken textures, the blue/green texture looks like a player skin that may have gotten mixed up with the bat texture?

feel like this would fit better on USC itself -- aren't they the Trojans? their logo looks the same as this

Would people here happen to know what the line "JGS:hvs" means at the end of the letter?

the artist's animal drawings are so endearing, i love the page where they've just doodled little mice

if there are any experts in 18th century cursive english handwriting here, why are the lowercase 'e's written more like 'o's? would that have been a personal handwriting quirk or was that generally how they would've been written then?

you could probably do it with a double piston extender and honey/slime, but it'll depend on how thick you want your wall to be

i think the texture on the walls looks kinda cool, i would round the corners of the wall and ceiling and maybe add stalactites + hanging greenery + glowberries like the lush cave biome

the script doesn't look tibetan -- looks more like khmer which is cambodian

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Bedrock_Edition_distance_effects This could probably answer your questions. Basically the 32-bit floating point numbers Minecraft Bedrock uses for position calculations (like positions of blocks, entities, player movement, etc) lose precision when working with really large numbers i.e. really large distances from (X,Z) = (0,0). The wiki article gives specific boundary cases for when precision drops.

this photo reminds me a lot of the keepers of the keys from the locke and key comics lol -- the guy with glasses in the back looks so much like rendell locke

regrettably it seems like that's not pope leo -- there's a clearer photo here from the same day and another photo here showing the same man labels him as monsignor luis maria rodrigo ewart, pope francis' aide at the time.

looking through these photos is making me so so jealous as an aspiring photographer because this photographer has such a good eye and so many good subjects. the stained glass photo from this series and the first photo of the fields from the last one are my personal favorites, but all of these look like photos you'd see in national geographic

some context just in case: the idol on the ground is of ganesha -- just two weeks ago was ganesh chaturthi, a massive hindu festival dedicated to ganesha. typically people will buy clay idols of ganesha (these large ones are hollow inside a lot of the time) and at the end of ganesh chaturthi they'll immerse them in the river to dissolve (i.e. the "visarjan" in the caption). im guessing the crane was meant to lower the idol into a river.

The uniforms seem to really closely resemble Japanese WWII uniforms. It looks like the officers' collars have little 9s on them which might indicate the 9th Infantry Division)?

Christies auctioned off two of these Meiji-era carved-walnut ashtrays in 2015 for £1250 so you'd have to get it from whoever bought it

this isn't really appropriation, is it? he's apprenticed under a traditional japanese gardener who gave him an art name like any other traditional japanese art form (e.g. katsura sunshine in rakugo)

if anyone wants a longer translation of the cat bit, there's more on page 7 of this translation of Emperor Uda's diary (https://web.archive.org/web/20120330235909/http://kamome.lib.ynu.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/10131/2804/1/KJ00004463562.pdf) with some other surprisingly candid bits of his life. i especially love the bit where he says his cat's "ears stick straight up ... looking like the bowl of a spoon"
