The Japan Imam Council recently called for “calm and fair dialogue” with Japanese society.
That sounds reasonable.
Japan protects freedom of religion. Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, atheists — everyone has the right to believe, worship, and live peacefully under the law.
But dialogue cannot be one-way.
According to a Japanese civic group called the “Association for Considering Responses to Islam under the Constitution of Japan,” they requested a meeting with the Japan Imam Council and sent documents in both Japanese and English.
They say the mail was refused and returned.
To be clear, refusing mail may be legally allowed.
But that is not the main issue.
The issue is trust.
If a religious organization asks Japanese society for understanding, then it should also be willing to receive questions, concerns, and criticism from Japanese citizens.
Many Japanese people are not asking for conflict.
They are asking basic questions:
Will Islamic institutions follow Japanese law?
How should local communities handle mosque construction?
What about public noise, schools, burial customs, public facilities, and local rules?
How will Islamic leaders explain these issues to Japanese society?
These are not automatically “hate.”
In a democracy, concerns from citizens deserve answers.
Americans understand this very well.
Religious freedom does not mean being free from public questions.
Civil rights come with civic responsibility.
If the Japan Imam Council truly wants coexistence, it should not only ask Japan to listen.
It should also listen to Japan.
Explain.
Answer.
Meet.
Discuss.
That is how trust is built.
Calling for dialogue while refusing the conversation only creates more suspicion.
Coexistence does not begin with “You must understand us.”
It begins with, “Let us talk honestly.”
Avui fa 100 anys de la mort del mestre Antoni Gaudí. I a ‘Les tres bessones i Gaudí’, la seva mort es representa poèticament: en lloc de ser atropellat per un tramvia, se’l veu pujant-hi i retrobant-se amb el seu amor de joventut.
Pell de gallina. Sempre referents.
"Good evening, Professor. I see you have driven here in your Ferrari."
If I had to pick one intro that blew me away more than any other, it has to be the one from Another World.
This is as close to perfection as it gets. The pacing, the camera work (gliding through Lester Knight Chaykin's body and then seeing him from behind - pure genius), the subtle sound effects, the tension rising in perfect sync with the music, the way he casually sips a soft drink like a boss while running a particle acceleration experiment - and then gets blasted out of this world into… well, another.
Éric Chahi created this game almost entirely by himself. That was 35 years ago now, and anyone who played games back then still remembers it.
True greatness.

Los humanos como todos los animales de este planeta no se reproducen si sienten que el entorno es hostil o que sus crías no van a sobrevivir o prosperar.
This indie dev made a game where you control two characters at the same time.
- Control one character with your left hand
- Control another character with your right hand
Would you play this? It's called Ambidextro.
A conclusion that stunned audiences and immediately established this film as a classic..
Audiences in 1968 were stunned by the ending of Planet of the Apes, which revealed that astronaut George Taylor had been on a post-apocalyptic Earth all along, catching viewers completely off guard. With spoiler culture and twist-driven marketing still largely absent at the time, most audiences experienced the final reveal with no advance hint of what was coming.
The ending went on to become one of the most iconic moments in film history, helping cement the movie’s reputation as a sci-fi classic while also reflecting the era’s anxieties about nuclear war during the 1960s.

One Russian developer built a tool in 1999.
25 years later, almost every PC still uses it. 💎

> Russian programmer.
> Released 7-Zip in 1999.
> Built his own compression algorithm called LZMA.
> Completely free from day one.
> Open source forever.
> Smaller files than ZIP.
> Better compression than most commercial tools.
> Sometimes 30–70% smaller depending on the data.
> The algorithm became so good that other systems adopted it.
> Linux kernel supports it.
> Android firmware uses it.
> Game installers rely on it.
> At this point, it’s basically universal.
> Meanwhile WinRAR became famous for a license popup nobody paid for.
> 7-Zip never asked for money.
> Never showed ads.
> Never locked features behind subscriptions.
> The UI still looks straight out of Windows XP.
> And somehow that makes people trust it even more.
> It opens almost every archive format imaginable.
> Fast. Lightweight. Reliable.
> Still maintained by Igor Pavlov after 25 years.

"Pagas 11,99€ al mes para alquilar música que no te pertenece."
Alguien acaba de hacer eso obsoleto.
Un desarrollador publicó en open source una herramienta llamada Spooty. Le das la URL de una playlist de Spotify y descarga cada canción en tu máquina. En MP3. Con los metadatos completos, las portadas, todo.
Sin algoritmo que elimine una canción sin avisarte. Sin "este contenido no está disponible en tu región". Sin suscripción mensual para seguir accediendo a lo que llevas años escuchando.
Lo que hace en concreto:
> Se conecta a la API oficial de Spotify para leer tus playlists.
> Descarga cada canción en alta calidad.
> Etiqueta todo automáticamente: título, artista, álbum, portada.
> Funciona completamente en tu máquina, tus credenciales nunca salen de tu dispositivo.
Es Python. Tres pasos para instalarlo. Clonas el repo, instalas las dependencias, conectas tus claves API de Spotify.
Una biblioteca permanente por 0€, frente a 11,99€ al mes por alquilar exactamente lo mismo.
100% open source.
Hoy una industria entera dejó de tener sentido.
Un tío publicó en GitHub un repo que convierte cualquier foto en un mundo 3D explorable: meshes con físicas, splat del fondo, audio ambiente. Todo.
