いつも歌詞のネイティブチェックをお願いしてるマッコーリー大学の社会言語学者Wes（@ScriptingJapan）が、「アジア圏が何をメタル的と捉えて言語表現しているか」というのを研究した学術書を出版するらしい。数年前にSomnium de Lycorisの作詞についてインタビューを受けたのも活用されるみたいです

N4 Kanji practice book is done! You can download it here: wesleycrobertson.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/n4-… It's got kanji! It's got words you can write in kanji! It's got sentences which awkwardly jam a single kanji into them as many times as possible! It's got an answer key! Enjoy!

i think projects like KnowYourMeme and lost meme archive are actually really cool because i believe they will be crucial in documenting and preserving this era in internet cultural history and especially with all the censorship these days i’m glad someone is writing things down

in class this week I summarized Saïd's "Orientalism" by comparing it to AI: "you know how AI content is getting worse because it's now being trained based on its own output? that's how the West creates stereotypes about the Orient and teaches itself about its own superiority."
