In feudal Japan, samurai were not always free to carry their swords, especially in courts, castles, or during formal diplomacy. To adapt, they turned to the tessen, an iron war fan that appeared as an ordinary folding fan but concealed a powerful purpose. From the 14th century onward, during the Muromachi and Edo periods, the tessen became a popular choice for self-defense. It could be carried openly even where weapons were banned, giving its wielder a hidden advantage.

Tessen could be used in close combat, block or deflect knives and darts, and deliver strikes strong enough to disable an opponent. The samurai also trained in tessenjutsu, a specialized martial art for fan combat. Beyond combat, the tessen symbolized status and sophistication. High-ranking samurai, bodyguards, and court officials often carried finely crafted tessen, blending elegance with practicality.

Historical accounts tell of samurai who skillfully used tessen to disarm opponents or defend themselves when swords were forbidden. The tessen’s discreet nature and versatility earned it a unique place in Japan’s martial tradition. Though centuries have passed, it remains an iconic example of how ingenuity turned a simple object into a powerful tool.

Online conservative guys obsessed with movie casting have spent years insisting that all that matters is that the actor looks as much like the character as possible. So you can't try to make the cast more diverse, you have to cast who looks like the character exactly. Anyway after one round of people suggesting a trans actress who looks uncannily like Zelda play Zelda in the Legend of Zelda movie they're going "well, there are more important things than looking like the character". Fellas, I'm starting to think these people just want to keep marginalized people from playing anyone

I swear to fucking god. I would claw out OneDrive from my computer if I could. I would burn down their servers if I could. I would run down their stocks to the ground if I could. I hope every single one of their workers gets a better offer from a competitor in the next 24 hours. I hope every single one of their light bulbs explodes at the same time. I hope every single carton of milk in their fridge will always be expired.

Stop backing up my fucking files.

Stop asking me to back up my fucking files.

Stop taking my fucking files off my fucking computer.

I don't want a fucking reminder in three fucking days. Let me fucking say no.

Fuckers.
