I found a leak behind my dishwasher after I got out of the shower tonight. I am now wrestling my dishwasher out of the wall while quiet-screaming my best cusswords so I don't wake my boyfriend. I am naked, except for a headlamp. It is 2 am.

Odyssey in 70mm film tonight. Couldn’t be more stoked. Decided to read an article from Forbes talking about IMAX film and ratios and whatnot, and was greeted with this absolute hellscape of a mobile browser experience. If you squint, you can see the actual article behind the wall of ads.

In 1952, an abandoned shrine was found in the Wakayama prefecture of Japan. This temple, known as Rabu Shrine (羅父神宮), had signs of occupation as late as the 1920s. These documents, including postcards and manuscripts by the priest Sōkū (桑空), were recovered at the site:

An old faded postcard featuring a green-tinted black and white photograph. Near the entrance to a Shintoist shrine, a line of congregants kneel before an enormous insect larva, tall as at least two men. The larva twists into a regal pose, head clad with four imposing horns. It is covered in silken regalia, and holds a variety of amulets in its six limbs.
The postcard has a purple stamp atop it, proof of visit to Rabu Shrine as part of a pilgrimage. Below, stamped blue text reads:
ル祀ミ育神蟲テニ宮神父羅
(At Rabu Shrine, the insect God is raised and worshipped.)

Starting an NPR show called 3 Things Considered. We consider precisely three things a day. If any troublemaking jerk guests even try to bring up a fourth thing I put them in the sleeper hold and take them DOWN. You’d listen to this.
