Hogwarts Legacy inspires Japanese fans to invent Satsuma Hogwarts & its own lore - AUTOMATON WEST
Following the release of Hogwarts Legacy, the concept of Satsuma Hogwarts (薩摩ホグワーツ) has been created in Japan, and it’s drawing a lot of notice on Twitter.

Big Tobacco’s new cigarette is sleek, smokeless — but is it any better for you?
Philip Morris International says it has created a less toxic cigarette — an innovation it claims could save lives and eliminate smoking in America. The new technology, called IQOS, consists of a tube that gently heats up sticks of tobacco instead of burning them. By using heat instead of flame, the company says, IQOS eradicates 90 to 95 percent of toxic compounds in cigarette smoke. The Food and D

Interview: In This Corner of the World Director Sunao Katabuchi
Director Sunao Katabuchi has worked on an astonishing range of anime. Many Western fans may still be most familiar with him as the director of the brashly ultraviolent series Black Lagoon, but his new opus In This Corner of the World is as far from that as Ozu's Tokyo Story is from Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Based on the manga by Fumiyo KÅno, the film is a delicately-drawn period drama showing the

No, 'Last Tango in Paris' Director Did Not Say Marlon Brando Committed Rape - TheWrap
Actress Maria Schneider said exactly what happened on the set of the film a decade ago. People should have listened The 1972 film “Last Tango in Paris†was pilloried across the internet this weekend over the belief that director Bernardo Bertolucci had admitted that a rape scene between stars Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider was an actual rape. But in an interview a decade ago, Schneider herself
U.S. wrestler Helen Maroulis faces down legend Saori Yoshida to win gold
RIO DE JANEIRO — Helen Maroulis hatched her partial obsession with Saori Yoshida two years ago. She studied her wrestling matches. She translated her interviews from Japanese to English to learn how she thought. She smoothed her weaknesses to match Yoshida's strengths.

The Curious Case of the Weapon that Didn’t Exist - The Public Medievalist
Editor’s Note: Since posting this, I’ve done more research and updated my thoughts on this subject in an article for Medieval Warfare magazine. Check it out here.

It’s one of these: A military flail is a medieval weapon consisting of a short
Is this picture disgusting or beautiful?
This photograph of a father holding his son in the shower has been shared tens of thousands of times on Facebook in the last fortnight.

In some ways the picture appears to show a fairly everyday scene. A dad cradling his severely sick child in his a

SHARJAH KHALID PORT, United Arab Emirates — The man bobbing in the sea raises his arms in a seeming sign of surrender before he is shot in the head. He floats face down as his blood stains the blue water. A slow-motion slaughter unfolds over the next 6 minutes and 58 seconds. Three other men floating in the ocean, some clinging to what looks like the wreckage of an overturned wooden boat, are surr
‘The Decagon House Murders’ evokes Agatha Christie — in Japan
Yukito Ayatsuji's "The Decagon House Murders" is a terrific mystery, a classic of misdirection very much in the manner of Agatha Christie or John Dickson Carr. That means its great appeal isn't the delineation of character or the depiction of criminal life on big-city mean streets, but rather the working out of an extremely complicated plot. The reader is meant to engage with the book on an intell
