🚨 JAPANESE KIDS ARE EATING THIS FOR LUNCH EVERY DAY — AND AMERICANS CAN'T BELIEVE IT

No pizza.
No fries.
No chicken nuggets.

This CBS News report showing what Japanese elementary school students eat for lunch is going viral.

The meals are reportedly prepared fresh every morning in spotless kitchens by staff dressed more like they're working in a sterile microchip factory than a school cafeteria.

Rice.
Soup.
Vegetables.
Protein.
Fruit.

Each school reportedly has its own nutritionist, and students even help serve lunch to their classmates.

The goal isn't simply feeding kids.
It's teaching healthy eating habits they can carry into adulthood.

The part leaving people stunned?

The students were actually clearing their plates and eating the vegetables.

Be honest: are American schools feeding children real food... or training them to live on processed junk?

Starting a new lino piece this evening. The real work begins with the carving.

"Up high!"

My hand drifted toward where my sword once hung.

A father had thrown his open palm to the sky. It gleamed, waiting. The open palm is the most defenseless thing a warrior owns. To offer it so, in plain view, without shield or steel, is either madness or the deepest trust a man can give. His eyes, fixed on mine, left no room for doubt. It was a test of honor.

"Up high, big guy!"

He stood firm. He had judged me worthy of the challenge. I raised my own hand, not in greeting, but in readiness. This was no mere pleasantry. This was a warrior's duel of spirit, the striking of two souls in joyous combat.

"You want one?"

He spoke as if I had merely asked for a second helping of rice. My honor was on the line. I gathered my ki, focusing all my intent. The smack that echoed across the field was a clap of thunder. He flinched. Good. He felt the weight of my resolve.

"Whoa! Hardcore!"

He understood. This was not a contest of strength, but a shared declaration. This, I learned, is the 'high five' — a happiness too vast for one body, willingly cut in half so a stranger can hold the other piece.

A man does not just share his joy. He becomes the living proof that joy can be divided, and still grow.

From that day, I became the one who carries the other half. To the boy who scored. To his sister, who cheered loudest. To the vendor who handed me a cold drink.

"Up high!" I declared. We shared the sound.

She looked startled. "Sir, I just gave you the drink."

I nodded. "And I have returned your happiness, divided evenly. You are welcome."

She took her change with a puzzled frown. My hand still tingled from the impact. A small price for a shared victory.

Tell me, America, if you split your joy in half, do you measure it carefully? Or do you always offer the bigger piece to a stranger, just to see what honor they return?

Happy birthday, Arweave!

Today marks the 8th anniversary of the launch of Arweave mainnet.

Over the last year, the centralized training wheels of the permaweb have come off. Gateways, bundlers, and the query layer are all now open to be run by anyone, and incentives are coming into place.

Today there are...

1️⃣ Trustless, verifiable gateways: The main gateways to Arweave now all serve their data in trustless, verifiable form. Every response comes with all of the information needed to verify that the content that they asked for is the data that they received.
2️⃣ Incentives for gateway operators: Anyone can join a gateway and permissionlessly start to earn for serving content to users. This gateway has started to take over serving a small portion of Arweave . net’s end-user traffic, scaling up over time.
3️⃣ Decentralized bundlers: You can now upload data through a decentralized network of bundlers which anyone can join and start to serve permaweb user requests through. Node operators can earn by running nodes in this network permissionlessly, and users can trust the LapEE(/TEE) implementations, not the node operators themselves.
4️⃣ Decentralized indexers: Those community run LapEE/TEE nodes can even now be used to index and query data on Arweave, inheriting the same trust-minimization properties as bundlers. No public router for this just yet, but try it on your own node — it works 🙂.

A year ago none of these were possible. Each was a hard fought battle and there is still a long way to go to make them the defaults in the ecosystem, but the bedrock is now in-place.

Where next?

8 years is a long time, and while the mission of Arweave remains immutable the structure of the web itself is shifting: From discrete apps each with a separate team, to a world of agent-built services customized for each user. The next web will not look like the last.

I am truly excited about this because Arweave’s permaweb is the perfect substrate for a web that is no longer defined by static, siloed UIs, but instead morphs and mutates at the speed of user’s wishes. For many years we have focused on creating a web that enables composability through…

➡️ Open content: Owned by users, accessible in every app – rather than any single company/service.
➡️ Open infrastructure: Shared between every app, permissionlessly utilized to back every app, not any single particular application.

…and now this stack is finally able to be decentralized, too.

This architecture just so happens to offer exactly the mix of attributes needed to create an open version of the agent-driven web. When a useful/fun app is just an afternoon’s work, rather than a year’s, creators (no longer just limited to devs) do not want to run specific infrastructure or hire a team just for that single service. Instead, an existing open catalogue of content, matched with open infrastructure they can simply start to send calls to, is the perfect place to build.

Can’t wait to see this in practice. More soon.

Onwards! 🙂

Writing a book has given me a whole new level of respect for authors. It’s one thing to have ideas, but turning them into pages, structure, and something people can truly connect with is a whole other ballgame.
