“To live is merely to undergo a series of humiliations in a world that does not care whether you exist or not.”
- Osamu Dazai
Osamu Dazai’s writing frequently examined alienation, shame, loneliness, self-destruction, and the desire to find a place in the world. In works like No Longer Human, The Setting Sun, and Schoolgirl, he depicted people who struggled to connect with society or understand the expectations others seemed to follow naturally. Drawing heavily from personal experience, Dazai often blurred autobiography and fiction, giving his stories a deeply personal and vulnerable tone.
His work also suggests that loneliness can be most painful when someone feels unable to show others who they truly are. Many of his characters conceal themselves behind humor, performance, or carefully constructed social masks while becoming increasingly isolated. Beneath their despair, Dazai explores identity, belonging, and the painful conflict between wanting acceptance and feeling incapable of ever being fully understood.

Is it merely a coincidence that I designed Gorbo, a small teal amphibian Axolotl, and now the entire internet has decided the axolotl is the official mascot of unresolved trauma?
Is it merely a coincidence that axolotls are functionally extinct in the wild and thriving in captivity, and that Gorbo's Swim Hole is a paid attraction with a mandatory guest orientation tape?
Is it merely a coincidence that axolotls are neotenic, meaning they never complete metamorphosis, they simply stay in the larval form forever while growing to full adult size, and that this is the precise clinical description of a Route 47 employee?
Is it merely a coincidence that axolotls breathe through their skin, absorbing whatever frequency is in the water, which is the entire mechanism of Frostingcore, a condition I invented before I knew that was a real biological process?
Is it merely a coincidence that a creature named after a god of death and lightning was quietly renamed "cute pink pet" by the global consumer supply chain, and that this is the Algorithm Corporation's exact playbook, documented, in my show, in 2025?
Is it merely a coincidence that every single thing I put out, no matter how stupid, no matter how obviously a joke, no matter how much I was clearly just tired and typing, arrives twelve to fourteen weeks later as a peer reviewed paper, a Netflix docuseries, or a product at Target?
Or is Gorbo simply early.

Fate is never merely a murmuring brook.
It can suddenly plunge into a waterfall as it passes through some valley,
and after rounding an unexpected bend it may merge into the sea and vanish.

The liturgy is not merely an outward observance, but a living encounter with God. Let us participate in the liturgy consciously, devoutly, and actively, so that we may grow in faith. #

Terafab is not merely a larger fab. It is a thermodynamic rewrite of chipmaking.
By replacing point-of-use laser-produced plasma with utility-scale ERL-FEL infrastructure, the consortium turns lithographic light into a shared utility generated centrally and distributed across the fab.
That breaks dependence on the physical limits of tin-plasma sources and creates a tunable path toward 6.7 nm
Beyond EUV: adjust the accelerator’s electron energy, shift the photon wavelength, and drive the next generation of patterning.
The old model installs a light source inside every machine.
The Terafab model builds a photon power plant.
This is not just semiconductor scaling.
It is the industrialization of light.

Discipline is merely self-respect put into practice.
These people merely want the best life for themselves and their families, just like everyone on this planet. The fact that so many conservatives and so-called Christians are attacking them is disgusting.
