In Case You're Ever Bored

I'm rather proud of stumbling across this particular bit of news. Lexus (the car manufacturer) has produced a 60,000-hour documentary about four different Japanese craftsmen. This includes a chef, a paper-cutting artist, an automotive craftsman, and a carpenter. If you're a normal human being who's interested in this particular subject, there's a 54-minute version coming to Amazon Prime. But that's no fun. If you start the full documentary right now and literally never stop it, you might be finished before the end of 2025. Good luck!

A Bit of Godzilla News

I guess Japan has gotten sick and tired of throwing their entire military at trying to stop Godzilla, so today, they're going for a new strategy: making Godzilla a citizen of Japan. Not only, but they've given him a job and made him the ambassador of tourism for the city of Shinjuku. Not the most obvious choice of city, but apparently Godzilla has visited a few times. It's an interesting move for Godzilla, moving onto a whole new career in his 60's, only a few years from retirement, and considering he's got a movie career in the U.S now, and he's making a return to Japan cinema next year after more than a decade. I guess ambassador of tourism isn't a very time consuming job.
