Nice day in London I see…

Title: Illustration of the Fierce Attack on Kumamoto Castle Date: 1877 Artist: Toshinobu The equivalent of breaking news. Contemporaneously published with this Satsuma Rebellion event, it captures the siege of the castle in real-time for a public hungry for updates #UgokuUkiyoe

Vengeance at Ganryū Island Artist: Kuniyoshi Date: 1856 Depicts the 1612 duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojirō, on the shores of Ganryū Island. Musashi (leaping mid-air) defeats him with a wooden practice sword that he carved out of a spare boat oar on the way over.

Title: Night Snow at Kambara Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige Date: 1833 Considered one of Hiroshige’s landscape masterpieces, this evocative print captures travelers trudging uphill through impossibly deep drifts in a completely frozen village. #UgokuUkiyoe

Title : Chushingura, fulfilling their vow Year : 1848 Artist : Sadahide One of my older colour prints, the 47 Ronin night attack. #UgokuUkiyoe

Animated version of Yasui’s 1884 Ginza night scene. The “interesting” error illustrates the limitations of my current compute. Planning to upgrade the kit in July, so should improve significantly then.

Title : Geisha at Yanagibashi Year : 1890 Artist : Chikanobu This depicts a gathering of the district's top geisha for the Hatsu geiko, the very first formal arts and dance lesson of the New Year. #UgokuUkiyoe

Left-wing political streamer Hasan Piker attended a San Francisco rally Thursday in support of progressive congressional candidate Saikat Chakrabarti, who is running to replace longtime Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

The lesson here isn’t just about phones in schools. It’s about human behavior: Take something away, and people usually replace it with something else.⁣ ⁣ Economists call this substitution.

Since you will have more than one hit by default in this game I changed the way the enemy hits you, now instead of removing the control you can move a little while sliding and you recover immediately, I need to adjust it a bit but it works well. #godotEngine #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

At Delaney Hall today, @jolly_good_ginger described what detainees are living through: guards tear gassing cell blocks, beatings, no medical care. He’s clear this isn’t one bad facility. It’s happening at detention centers across the country.

‪God this arc is so good. Perfect mix of heart while clearly keeping the Looney Tunes spirit that makes the show funny. I totally get the love now. Even if I am maybe very cautious because yeah I’ve seen enough to know not all of the show has aged gracefully.‬
