a 1977 proposal for a sculpture by George Tsutakawa looks like a New Yorker cartoon in search of a caption.

I walked by the sculpture today and there was a junkie nodding off on it so here is someone else's photo of Heaven, Man, Earth in situ.

Rent hikes and developments have displaced some of Seattle’s most cherished restaurants and gathering places. Seattle’s Bush Garden is the first restaurant karaoke bar in the nation and Washington state’s second Japanese restaurant. Started in 1953, the Chinatown International District’s Bush Garden became a meeting place for local activists like “Uncle” Bob Santos and others who fought against the gentrification of the primarily Asian American enclave. 

When a developer called Vibrant Cities bought the historic building in 2017, Martin Tran and co-directors Ellison Shieh and Christopher Woon-Chen grabbed their cameras and “started shooting as soon as we could,” Tran said. A community rallied around Bush Garden, but eventually, the restaurant had to close due to another factor: the pandemic. With furnishings and memorabilia stashed away in current owner Karen Akada Sakata’s storage, Bush Garden is now slated to reopen a couple of blocks away at the new Uncle Bob’s Place, tentatively in 2022. It’s a fitting move for Bush Garden, which was also known as Santos’ “after hours office.” Uncle Bob’s Place is owned by the nonprofit Santos started over 50 years ago, Interim CDA.

[Seattle, WA] No Need for Japanese Fusion when there's Maneki

No Need for #Japanese Fusion Food when there's Maneki in #Seattle serving up the classics and fresh uni! They have #gyoza too! #seatac #pacificnorthwest

304 6th Ave S Seattle, WA Hours· 5:30–10:30pm Phone: +1 206-622-2631 I visited Seattle, Washington many times and while readers may find it strange I have not been to Maneki—this city’s most famous Japanese restaurant—my reason is the International District is a fair distance from the Convention Center. Quite often my stamina after taking in Emerald City Comic Con needs more than a better pair…

Street of the Tang People 唐人街 (Love Letter to 爷爷 and 奶���) - Tang people come from Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian.  These southernmost provinces of China speak Yue/Việt and Tai/Thai dialects and have indigenous and diasporic ties to Southeast Asia.  Both the Canadian and American transcontinental railroads were built by Tang people, and both nations restricted immigration, citizenship, marriage, property, employment, dignity, and self-determination for Chinese and other Asian laborers during the Reconstruction and Jim Crow eras.  Tangrenjie, or "Chinatowns," are the remnant enclaves of our centuries-long migration, perpetually crowded and encroached by the railroads, highways, factories, and stadiums that redline most urban communities of color in the West.

If you want to see what I've done though, guess you'll have to buy it >:3c

It's so incredible to see this finally printed and I cant wait to hold it in my hands omg. If you (or someone you know) are trans, nonbinary, questioning, or an ally then I highly reccomend checking this book out!!

📹 Cracus City Hall in the Krasnogorsky District of the Moscow region in the Russian Federation burns after a terrorist attack today killed 40 and wounded over 100 people.

According to reporting on the attack, several unknown assailants burst into Cracus City Hall as the packed theater was settling down before musical show and began firing automatic weapons at the patrons at point-blank range before throwing incendiary weapons which engulfed the theater in flames.

The suspects escaped the terrorist attack in a white Renault sedan. Federal investigations are now under way.

* corrected to reflect musical show instead of "symphony orchestra" as originally published due to an uncertainty in the musical show.

The Darjeeling Limited (2007, Wes Anderson)

26/02/2024

The Darjeeling Limited is a 2007 film directed by Wes Anderson, written by Anderson himself together with Roman Coppola and actor Jason Schwartzman.

The film, preceded by the short film Hotel Chevalier, with which it was distributed, was presented in competition at the 64th Venice International Film Festival. The film is a comedy with dramatic overtones, set in India mainly in the Rajasthan region, starring the three Whitman brothers, Francis (Owen Wilson), Peter (Adrien Brody) and Jack (Jason Schwartzman).

Many scenes in the film - including the Himalayan ones - were not shot in Darjeeling area. The filming locations are practically all located in the state of Rajasthan, in the towns of Jodhpur and Udaipur.

On the other hand, there is a tourist train, the "Toy Train", which passes through Darjeeling, administered by the Darjeeling Himalayan company.

There are four characters in the film who only appear in cameos: Bill Murray, Irrfan Khan, Natalie Portman and Camilla Rutherford. In the cameo in which Bill Murray appears, he is seen chasing the train, which is leaving without being able to reach him, like the brothers do. A mystery is linked to his character: is he the ghost of the deceased father of the three or is it someone else?

Towards the end of the film there is a cameo in which Natalie Portman appears for about 8 seconds, while the camera moves from one carriage of the train to another. She finds herself in a yellow room identical to the one in the Hotel Chevalier from the prequel.
