Support my work on Patreon- https://patreon.com/realdavejackson Discord, Socials and more- https://linktr.ee/talesfromthebacklog Ghost of Tsushima (2020) was one of my favorite games of that year, and happens to be episode 2(!!) of this podcast, an early game that screamed to me "you should talk about this into a microphone for 2+ hours). That being the case, Sucker Punch's follow-up, Ghost of Yotei, was an instant day-one buy. And while the things I expected to impress were great, there were certain aspects of the game that felt worse to me than Tsushima's version. Did I change over the past five years? Did the game adjust to industry trends? A secret third answer? All of this is part of the discussion, so I hope you enjoy it!

Does Isaac trap its weird, firefly soul in a box made of Nemeton wood? Does Derek get attacked in his own home by someone who was supposed to be dead and have a coma-esque dream that's eerily inspired by An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge?Suppose you'll have to listen and find out.xoxo,Fandom on the Rocks

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: Sakura Secrets: A Winter Quest to Uncover Family Legacy Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ja/episode/2026-02-17-23-34-02-ja Story Transcript:Ja: 冬の冷たい風が静かな村を包んでいました。En: The cold winter wind enveloped the quiet village.Ja: 村の背後には、ひっそりとした桜の隠れ里がありました。En: Hidden behind the village was a secluded grove of sakura trees.Ja: その木々は冬の中で葉を落とし、雪の下に埋もれた微かなピンクの花びらが見え隠れしていました。En: These trees had shed their leaves during the winter, with faint pink petals peeking out from beneath the snow.Ja: その日は節分で、人々は「鬼は外、福は内」を叫びながら豆を撒いていました。En: That day was Setsubun, and people were shouting "Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi" while throwing beans.Ja: しかし、兄と妹、健二と美緒はそれどころではありませんでした。En: However, the brother and sister, Kenji and Mio, had something more pressing on their minds.Ja: 彼らの目標は、家族の伝統を守り、長い間失われていた家宝を見つけることでした。En: Their goal was to uphold a family tradition and find the family heirloom long lost.Ja: おばあちゃんから何度も聞かされた話は、それが桜の隠れ里にあると言っていました。En: The story repeatedly told by their grandmother mentioned that it was hidden in the sakura grove.Ja: 健二は現実主義者で、家宝の話を半信半疑で聞いていました。En: Kenji, a realist, listened to the tale of the family heirloom with skepticism.Ja: しかし、彼の心の片隅には、古い家族の伝統に対する懐かしい思いもありました。En: Yet, in the corner of his heart, he held a nostalgic feeling for the old family traditions.Ja: 美緒はもっと夢見がちな性格で、家族の過去に強くつながりたいと願っていました。En: Mio, being more of a dreamer, wished to connect deeply with her family's past.Ja: 「行こう、美緒。」健二は重いコートを着ながら言いました。En: "Let's go, Mio," Kenji said, putting on his heavy coat.Ja: 「でも、慎重にな。そして、寒いからすぐに帰ろう。」En: "But be cautious. And let's come back soon because it's cold."Ja: 「大丈夫、兄ちゃん。」美緒は自信に満ちた声で返しました。En: "Don't worry, niichan," Mio replied confidently.Ja: 「おばあちゃんの話を信じて、見つけましょう。」En: "Let's believe in obaa-chan's story and find it."Ja: 二人は雪の中を進み、桜の隠れ里に向かいました。En: The two made their way through the snow towards the sakura grove.Ja: 寒さは厳しく、風は彼らの頬を刺してきました。En: The cold was biting, and the wind stung their cheeks.Ja: しかし、彼らは進み続けました。En: Yet, they continued onward.Ja: 美緒は注意深く足元を探り、何かが埋もれているかもしれない場所を探し始めました。En: Mio carefully probed the ground, starting to search for any place where something might be buried.Ja: 「健二、ここ！」と彼女が叫びました。En: "Kenji, over here!" she shouted.Ja: 健二は彼女の元に駆け付け、一緒に雪を掘り始めました。En: Kenji rushed to her side, and together they began to dig through the snow.Ja: やがて、彼らは木製の箱を見つけました。En: Eventually, they uncovered a wooden box.Ja: それは家族の絆を象徴する遺品でした。En: It was a relic symbolizing the bonds of their family.Ja: 風はますます強くなり、雪は彼らの周りに舞い上がりました。En: The wind grew stronger, and the snow swirled around them.Ja: しかし、箱を手にした瞬間、兄妹は顔を見合わせ、達成感でいっぱいになりました。En: But at the moment they held the box, the siblings exchanged glances, filled with a sense of accomplishment.Ja: 「見つけた、ね。」美緒が微笑みながら言いました。En: "We found it, didn't we?" Mio said, smiling.Ja: 「うん。」健二は同意し、箱を抱きしめました。En: "Yeah." Kenji agreed, hugging the box.Ja: 「これでおばあちゃんも喜ぶはずだ。」En: "obaa-chan will be so pleased with this."Ja: 雪が再び降り始めても、健二は家族の伝統の大切さを理解し、美緒は彼女の固い決意がもたらす結果を知りました。En: Even as the snow started to fall again, Kenji understood the importance of family tradition, and Mio realized what her strong determination had achieved.Ja: 彼らは足早に村に戻り、一緒に家族の物語の新しい章を記し始めました。En: They briskly made their way back to the village, beginning a new chapter in the family story together.Ja: 節分の日の静かな夜に、兄妹は家族のつながりを再び確認しました。En: On the quiet night of Setsubun, the siblings reaffirmed their family's connection.

Kaj je zdaj s temi Hrvati? S pomladjo se vrnejo ptice selivke, z volitvami se vrnejo Hrvati. Točni kot švicarska ura. Včasih so prihajali s piranskim zalivom, Jožkom Jorasom, ratifikacijo in ostalimi obmejnimi praksami. Letos je drugače. Letos so predvolilna tema, ker so boljši od nas. V gospodarstvu in – če lahko dodamo – v nogometu. Toliko boljši so od nas, da se gospodarstveniki selijo na Hrvaško. Kot se prej omenjene ptice selivke jeseni selijo na jug. Ker pri nas »v gospodarskem okolju vlada zima«, pravijo podjetniki in gospodarstveniki. Oboje bi lahko združili v eno samo besedo in bi jim poslej pravili kapitalisti. Ampak ne moremo, ker bi bila nato gospodarska zbornica »kapitalistična zbornica«, Klub slovenskih podjetnikov pa »Klub slovenskih kapitalistov« – kar pa se ne sliši primerno. Kakorkoli. Hrvati so nas prehiteli. To se običajnim možganom sliši neverjetno, ampak tako zatrjujejo ljudje, ki poznajo gospodarske številke. In te govorijo Hrvatom v prid. Torej; ali lažejo številke, ali lažejo novodobni  hrvatofili, ki so bili še predvčerajšnjim hrvatofobi, ali pa laže razgled, če razumni potuje po Hrvaški. Pa s tem ne mislimo na Istro in  Dalmacijo, na Hvar in Dubrovnik. Mislimo, recimo, na podravsko magistralo od Virovitice do Osijeka. Tam se naši preroki gospodarske rasti zagotovo niso peljali. Ker tam so samo vasi brez ljudi, polja brez posevkov in obup in beda silita iz nemih oken. A vsaka trditev – tako tudi ta o hrvaškem prehitevanju -– ima na srečo svoj preizkus. Ker so nas po Slovaški, Češki, Poljski, Litvi Latviji in Estoniji ter najbrž tudi Romuniji sedaj prehiteli še Hrvati, Srbi pa so tako ali tako pokupili vse slovensko gospodarstvo, moramo izvesti eksaktni preizkus. Ki je, kot vsi eksaktni preizkusi, dokončen. Če torej slovenska javna občila poročajo, da so nas Hrvati prehiteli, bi morala hrvaška javna občila poročati, da so prehiteli Slovence. Pa tudi ob skrbnem pregledu, celo vsakodnevnem spremljanju medijev v sosednji državi, nismo naleteli na nič podobnega. Oni sami so prepričani, da so njihovo gospodarstvo, BDP, razvitost, socialna država in kar je te navlake, globoko pod slovensko ravnijo. Se pravi, da smo mi prepričani, kako so nas Hrvati prehiteli, Hrvati sami pa so prepričani, da capljajo za Slovenijo. Pa se naj človek zdaj na volitvah prav odloči. Nekje pa so nas Hrvati le prehiteli in dovolite, da naredimo manjši ovinek in današnjo oddajo intoniramo kot dvovsebinsko. Hrvati so namreč ponovno uvedli naborništvo. In se tako pridružili tistim evropskim državam, ki so prepričane, da bodo Rusi udarili čez – če citiramo legendarnega Zmaga Jelinčiča. Hrvaški mladeniči morajo odslej na vojaško usposabljanje in ko je vodja slovenske opozicije oni dan delil modrost, je verjetno mislil prav na nabornike, ko je Hrvaško postavil pred Slovenijo. In dodal, da pod njegovo vlado neka oblika vojaškega usposabljanja čaka tudi slovensko mladež. Oprostite, ampak na tem mestu moramo izraziti močno nestrinjanje z načrti vodje opozicije. Vemo in verjamemo, da je v Sloveniji mnogo navdušencev nad flintami in uniformami, še več je onih, ki menijo, da smo vojaško ogroženi, največ pa je tistih, ki trdijo, da je za obrambo domovine treba dati tudi življenje. V postmoderni družbi gre za preživete koncepte, za romantično nakladanje, ki bi se ga morala družba, obsedena s knjigami za samopomoč in osebnostno rast, globoko sramovati. Kar predlagamo – da ne bomo le a prióri proti – je začasna suspenzija anonimnosti volitev. Kot vemo, je anonimnost na internetu civilizacijo že tako ali tako prignala na rob propada, zato dajmo za določen čas ukiniti anonimnost demokratičnega odločanja. Se pravi, da boste tisti, ki boste volili politične opcije, ki zagovarjajo, da naši otroci postanejo ali žrtve, ali morilci, natančno registrirani. Ko pride uvedba naborništva v Sloveniji ponovno na mizo, naj se vojašnice napolnijo samo z vašimi otroki. Ker da nekdo anonimno upravlja z življenjem in usodo našega otroka, je povsem nesprejemljivo in v tretjem tisočletju moralno nevzdržno. Seveda ne gre le za opozicijo, tudi sedanja vlada je lepo zarezala v militarizacijo družbe, zato naj povzamemo mnenje civiliziranega dela slovenske javnosti: »Možnost, da nas napadejo ali Avstrijci, ali Italijani, ali Madžari, ali Hrvati, ali pač Rusi, Izraelci, Palestinci, Danci oziroma  Američani, je nična. Pika. Mnogo večja je možnost, da se voda spremeni v kri, da žabe preplavijo deželo, hiše in palače, da se prah dežele spremeni v insekte, da roji muh napadejo slovenske domove, da množično pogine živina, da toča z ognjem opustoši polja, nato pa pridejo kobilice in požrejo, kar je ostalo.« In tako naprej in tako nazaj.

This episode, we talk about two monumental projects that were started in this reign.  One was the historiographical project that likely led to the creation of the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki.  And then there was the start of the first permanent capital city:  the Fujiwara Capital. Listen to the episode and find more on our website:  https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-143   Rough Transcript   Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan.  My name is Joshua and this is Episode 143: Temmu's Monumental Projects     Ohoama sat astride his horse and looked out at the land in front of him.   He could still see the image of the rice fields, now long fallow, spreading out on the plain.  To the north, east, and west, he could see the mountains that would frame his vision.  As his ministers started to rattle off information about the next steps of the plan, Ohoama began to smile.  He thought of the reports his embassies to the Great Tang had brought back, about the great walled cities of the continent.  In his mind's eye, Ohoama envisioned something similar, rising up on the plain in front of him. There would be an earth and stone wall, surrounding the great city.  The gates would be grand, much like the temples, but on an even greater scale.  Houses would be packed in tight, each within their own walled compounds.  In the center painted red and white, with green accents, would be a palace to rival any other structure in the archipelago.  The people would stream in, and the city would be bustling with traffic. This was a new center, from which the power of Yamato would be projected across the islands and even to the continent.   Greetings everyone, and welcome back.  This episode we are still focused on the reign of Ohoama, aka Temmu Tennou, between the years 672 and 686. Last episode we talked about the Four Great Temples—or the Four National Temples.  Much of this episode was focused on the rise and spread of Buddhism as we see in the building of these national temples, but also on the changes that occurred as the relationship between Buddhism and the State evolved.  This was part of Ohoama's work to build up the State into something beyond what it had been in the past—or perhaps into something comparable to what they believed it to have been in the past.  After all, based on the size of the tomb mounds in the kofun period, it does seem that there was a peak of prosperity in the 5th century, around the time of Wakatakeru, aka Yuryaku Tennou, and then a decline, to the point that the lineage from Wohodo, aka Keitai Tennou, seemed to have come in during a time when they were rebuilding Yamato power and authority. This episode we are going to talk about two projects that Ohoama kicked off during his reign.  He wouldn't see the completion of either one, since both took multiple decades to complete, but both focused on linking the past and the future.  The first we'll talk about is a new attempt to gather historical documents and records—the last time that was done was in the time of Kashikiya Hime, over 50 years ago.  That was during the height of Soga power.  Since then a lot had changed, and presumably there were even more stories and records that had been written down.  Plus the tide had changed.  So they needed to update—and maybe even correct—the historical record. But beyond that, there was a greater goal: Ohoama and his court also needed to make sure that the past was something that they wanted to go back to, among other things. The other thing we are going to discuss is the start of a project to build a brand new capital city.  And when we talk a bout city, we really mean a city.  This was a massive undertaking, likely unlike anything that we've seen so far.  Sure, there had been monumental building projects, but this was something that was going to take a lot more work - how much more monumental could you get than a new city?  And it would create a physical environment that would be the embodiment of the new centralization of power and authority, and the new state that Ohoama was building, with his administration—and Yamato—at the center.   Let's start with the big ones.  First and foremost, we have the entry from the 17th day of the 3rd month of the 681.  Ohoama gave a decree from the Daigokuden to commit to writing a Chronicle of the sovereigns and various matters of high antiquity.  Bentley translates this as saying that they were to record and confirm the Teiki, which Aston translated as the Chronicle of the Sovereigns, and various accounts of ancient times.  This task was given out to a slew of individuals, including the Royal Princes Kawashima and Osakabe; the Princes Hirose, Takeda, Kuwada, and Mino; as well as Kamitsukenu no Kimi no Michichi, Imbe no Muraji no Kobito, Adzumi no Muraji no Inashiki, Naniwa no Muraji no Ohogata, Nakatomi no Muraji no Ohoshima, and Heguri no Omi no Kobito.  Ohoshima and Kobito were specifically chosen as the scribes for this effort.  We aren't told what work was started at this time.  Aston, in his translation of the Nihon Shoki, assumes that this is the start of the Kojiki.  Bentley notes that this is the first in a variety of records about gathering the various records, including gathering records from the various families, and eventually even records from the various provinces.  And I think we can see why.  Legitimizing a new state and a new way of doing things often means ensuring that you have control of the narrative.  Today, that often means doing what you can to control media and the stories that are in the national consciousness.  In Ohoama's day, I'd argue that narrative was more about the various written sources, and how they were presented.  After all, many of the rituals and evidence that we are looking at would rely on the past to understand the present.  The various family records would not only tell of how those families came to be, but would have important information about what else was going on, and how that was presented could determine whether something was going to be seen as auspicious, or otherwise.  Even without getting rid of those records, it would be important to have the official, State narrative conform to the Truth that the state was attempting to implement. Ultimately, there is no way to know, exactly, how everything happened.  If the Nihon Shoki had a preface, it has been lost.  The Kojiki, for its part, does have a preface, and it points to an origin in the reign of Ohoama—known as the sovereign of Kiyomihara.  In there we are told that the sovereign had a complaint—that the Teiki and Honji, that is the chronicles of the sovereigns and the various other stories and legends, that had been handed down by various houses had come to differ from the truth.  They said they had many falsehoods, which likely meant that they just didn't match the Truth that the State was trying to push.  Thus  they wanted to create a so-called "true" version to pass down. This task was given to 28 year old Hieda no Are.  It says they were intelligent and had an incredible memory.  They studied all of the sources, and the work continued beyond the reign of Ohoama.  Later, in 711 CE, during the reign of Abe, aka Genmei Tennou, Oho no Yasumaro was given the task of writing down everything that Hieda no Are had learned.  The astute amongst you may have noticed that this mentions none of the individuals mentioned in the Nihon Shoki.  Nor does the Nihon Shoki mention anything about Hieda no Are.  So was this a separate effort, or all part of the same thing?  Was Are using the materials collected by  the project? As you may recall, we left the Kojiki behind some time ago, since it formally ends with the reign of Kashikiya hime, aka Suiko Tennou, but realistically it ended with Wohodo, aka Keitai Tennou—after that point there are just lists of the various heirs.  As such, there is some speculation that this was originally built off of earlier histories, perhaps arranged during the Soga era. The general explanation for all of this is that Hieda no Are memorized the poems and stories, and then Yasumaro wrote them down.  Furthermore, though the language in the Kojiki does not express a particular gender, in the Edo period there was a theory that Hieda no Are was a woman, which is still a popular theory. Compare all of that to the Nihon Shoki.  Where the Kojiki was often light on details and ends with Suiko Tennou, the Nihon Shoki often includes different sources, specifically mentions some of them by name, and continues up through the year 697.  Furthermore, textual analysis of the Nihon Shoki suggests that it was a team effort, with multiple Chroniclers, and likely multiple teams of Chroniclers.   I have to admit, that sounds a lot more like the kind of thing that Ohoama was kicking off. We have an entry in the Shoku Nihongi, the work that follows the Nihon Shoki, that suggests 720 for the finished compilation of the Nihon Shoki.  So did it take from 681 to 720 to put together?  That is a really long project, with what were probably several generations of individuals working on it. Or should this be read in a broader sense?  Was this a historiographical project, as Bentley calls it, but one that did not, immediately, know the form it would take?  It isn't the first such project—we have histories of the royal lineage and other stories that were compiled previously—much of that attributed to Shotoku Taishi, but likely part of an earlier attempt by the court.  In fact, given that the Kojiki and Sendai Hongi both functionally end around the time of Kashikiya hime, that is probably because the official histories covered those periods.  Obviously, though, a lot had happened, and some of what was written might not fit the current narrative.  And so we see a project to gather and compile various sources.  While this project likely culminated in the projects of the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, I doubt that either work was necessarily part of the original vision.  Rather, it looks like the original vision was to collect what they could and then figure things out. It would have been after they started pulling the accounts together, reading them, and noticing the discrepancies that they would have needed to then edit them in such a way that they could tell a cohesive story.  That there are two separate compilations is definitely interesting.  I do suspect that Oho no Yasumaro was working from the efforts of Hieda no Are, either writing down something that had been largely captured in memory or perhaps finishing a project that Are had never completed.  The Nihon Shoki feels like it was a different set of teams, working together, but likely drawing from many of the same sources. And as to why we don't have the earlier sources?  I once heard it said that for books to be forgotten they didn't need to be banned—they just needed to fall out of circulation and no longer be copied anymore.  As new, presumably more detailed, works arose, it makes sense that older sources would not also be copied, as that information was presumably in the updated texts, and any information that wasn't brought over had been deemed counterfactual.  Even the Nihon Shoki risked falling into oblivion; the smaller and more digestible Kojiki was often more sought after.  The Kojiki generally presents a single story, and often uses characters phonetically, demonstrating how to read names and places.  And it just has a more story-like narrative to it.  The Nihon Shoki, comparatively, is dense, written in an old form of kanbun, often relying more on kanbun than on phonetic interpretations.  It was modeled on continental works, but as such it was never going to be as easy to read.  And so for a long time the Kojiki seems to have held pride of place for all but the most ardent scholars of history. Either way, I think that it is still fair to say that the record of 681 was key to the fact that we have this history, today, even if there was no way for Ohoama, at the time, to know just what form it would take. Another ambitious project that got started under Ohoama was the development of a new and permanent capital city. Up to this point we've talked about the various capitals of Yamato, but really it was more that we were talking about the palace compounds where the sovereign lived.  From the Makimuku Palace, where either Mimaki Iribiko or possibly even Himiko herself once held sway, to the latest palace, that of Kiyomihara, the sovereigns of Yamato were known by their palaces.  This is, in part, because for the longest time each successive sovereign would build a new palace after the previous sovereign passed away.  There are various reasons why this may have been the case, often connected to insular concepts of spiritual pollution brought on by the death of an individual, but also the practical consideration that the buildings, from what we can tell, were largely made of untreated wood.  That made them easier to erect, but also made them vulnerable to the elements, over time, and is probably one of the reasons that certain shrines, like the Shrine at Ise, similarly reconstitute themselves every 20 years or so. Furthermore, we talk about palaces, but we don't really talk about cities.  There were certainly large settlements—even going back to the Wei chronicles we see the mention of some 70 thousand households in the area of Yamateg.  It is likely that the Nara basin was filled with cultivated fields and many households.  Princes and noble households had their own compounds—remember that both Soga no Umako and Prince Umayado had compounds large enough that they could build temples on the compounds and have enough left over for their own palatial residences, as well.  However, these compounds were usually distributed in various areas, where those individuals presumably held some level of local control. It is unclear to me how exactly the early court functioned as far as housing individuals, and how often the court was "in session", as it were, with the noble houses.  Presumably they had local accommodations and weren't constantly traveling back and forth to the palace all the time.  We know that some houses sent individuals, men and women, to be palace attendants, even though they lived some distance away.  This was also likely a constraint on the Yamato court's influence in the early days. We do see the sovereign traveling, and various "temporary" palaces being provided.  I highly doubt that these were all built on the spot, and were likely conversions of existing residences, and similar lodging may have been available for elites when they traveled, though perhaps without such pomp and circumstance. What we don't really see in all of this, are anything resembling cities.  Now, the term "city" doesn't exactly have a single definition, but as I'm using it, I would note that we don't see large, permanent settlements of significant size that demonstrate the kind of larger civil planning that we would expect of such a settlement.  We certainly don't have cities in the way of the large settlements along the Yangzi and Yellow rivers. We talked some time back about the evolution of capital city layouts on the continent.  We mentioned that the early theoretical plan for a capital city was based on a square plan, itself divided into 9 square districts, with the central district constituting the palace.  This design works great on paper, but not so much in practice, especially with other considerations, such as the north-south orientation of most royal buildings.  And then there are geographic considerations.  In a place like Luoyang, this square concept was interrupted by the river and local topography.  Meanwhile, in Chang'an, they were able to attain a much more regular rectangular appearance.  Here, the court and the palace were placed in the center of the northernmost wall.  As such, most of the city was laid out to the south of the palace. In each case, however, these were large, planned cities with a grid of streets that defined the neighborhoods.  On each block were various private compounds, as well as the defined markets, temples, et cetera. The first possible attempt at anything like this may have been with the Toyosaki palace, in Naniwa.  There is some consideration that, given the size of the palace, there may have been streets and avenues that were built alongside it, with the intention of having a similar city layout.  If so, it isn't at all clear that it was ever implemented, and any evidence may have been destroyed by later construction on the site.  Then we have the Ohotsu palace, but that doesn't seem to be at the same scale as the Toyosaki palace—though it is possible that, again, we are missing some key evidence.  Nonetheless, the records don't really give us anything to suggest that these were large cities rather than just palaces. There is also the timeline.  While both the Toyosaki palace and the Ohotsu palace took years to build, they did not take the time and amount of manpower that would be needed to create a true capital city.  We can judge this based on what it took to build the new capital at Nihiki. This project gets kicked off in the 11th month of 676.  We are told that there was an intent to make the capital at Nihiki, so all of the rice-fields and gardens within the precincts, public and private property alike, were left fallow and became totally overgrown. This likely took some time.  The next time we see Nihiki is in the 3rd month of 682, when Prince Mino, a minister of the Household Department, and others, went there to examine the grounds.  At that point they apparently made the final decision to build the capital there.  Ohoama came out to visit later that same month. However, a year later, in the 12th month of 683, we are told that there was a decree for there to be multiple capitals and palaces in multiple sites, and they were going to make the Capital at Naniwa one of those places.  And so public functionaries were to go figure out places for houses.  So it wasn't just that they wanted to build one new, grand capital.  It sounds like they were planning to build two or three, so not just the one at Nihiki.  This is also where I have to wonder if the Toyosaki Palace was still being used as an administrative center, at the very least.  Or was it repurposed, as we saw that the Asuka palaces had been when the court moved to Ohotsu? This is further emphasized a few months later, when Prince Hirose and Ohotomo Yasumaro, at the head of a group of clerks, officials, artisans, and yin yang diviners were sent around the Home Provinces to try and divine sites suitable for a capital.  In addition, Prince Mino, Uneme no Oni no Tsukura, and others were sent to Shinano to see about setting up a capital there as well.  Perhaps this was inspired by the relationship between the two Tang capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang.  Or perhaps it was so that if one didn't work out another one might. Regardless, Nihiki seemed to be the primary target for this project, and in the third lunar month of 684 Ohoama visited the now barren grounds and decided on a place for the new palace.  A month later, Prince Mino and others returned with a map of Shinano, but there is no indication of where they might want to build another capital. After that, we don't hear anything more of Shinano or of a site in the Home Provinces.  We do hear one more thing about Naniwa, which we mentioned a couple of episodes back, and that is that in 686 there was a fire that burned down the palace at Naniwa, after which they seem to have abandoned that as a palace site.  And so we are left with the area of Nihiki. This project would take until the very end of 694 before it was ready.  In total, we are looking at a total of about 18 years—almost two decades, to build a new capital.  Some of this may have been the time spent researching other sites, but there also would have been significant time taken to clear and level.  This wasn't just fields—based on what we know, they were even taking down old kofun; we are later told about how they had to bury the bodies that were uncovered.  There was also probably a pause of some kind during the mourning period when Ohoama passed away.  And on top of it, this really was a big project.  It wasn't just building the palace, it was the roads, the infrastructure, and then all of the other construction—the city gates, the various private compounds, and more.  One can only imagine how much was being invested, especially if they were also looking at other sites and preparing them at the same time.  I suspect that they eventually abandoned the other sites when they realized just how big a project it really was that they were undertaking. Today we know that capital as Fujiwara-kyo, based on the name of the royal palace that was built there, and remarkably, we know where it was.  Excavations have revealed the site of the palace, and have given us an idea of the extent of the city:  It was designed as a square, roughly 5.3 kilometers, or 10 ri, on each side.  The square itself was interrupted by various terrain features, including the three holy mountains.  Based on archaeological evidence, the street grid was the first thing they laid out, and from what we can tell they were using the ideal Confucian layout as first dictated in the Zhouli, or Rites of Zhou.  This meant a square grid, with the palace in the center. Indeed, the palace was centered, due south of Mt. Miminashi, and you can still go and see the palace site, today.  When they went to build the palace, they actually had to effectively erase, or bury, the roads they had laid out.  They did the same thing for Yakushi-ji, or Yakushi-temple, when they built it as part of the city; one of the reasons we know it had to have been built after the roads were laid out.  We will definitely talk about this more when we get to that point of the Chronicles, but for now, know that the Fujiwara palace itself, based on excavations of the site, was massive.  The city itself would surpass both Heijo-kyo, at Nara, and Heian-kyo, in modern Kyoto.  And the palace was like the Toyosaki Naniwa palace on steroids.  It included all of the formal features of the Toyosaki Palace for running the government, but then enclosed that all in a larger compound with various buildings surrounding the court itself.  Overall, the entire site is massive.  This was meant as a capital to last for the ages. And yet, we have evidence that it was never completed.  For one thing, there is no evidence that a wall was ever erected around it—perhaps there was just no need, as relations with the mainland had calmed down, greatly.  But there is also evidence that parts of the palace, even, were not finished at the time that they abandoned it.  Fujiwara-kyo would only be occupied for about 16 years before a new capital was built—Heijo-kyo, in Nara.  There are various reasons as to why they abandoned what was clearly meant to be the first permanent capital city, and even with the move to a new city in Nara it would be clear that it was going to take the court a bit of time before they were ready to permanently settle down—at least a century or so. Based on all the evidence we have, and assuming this was the site of the eventual capital, Nihiki was the area of modern Kashihara just north of Asuka, between—and around—the mountains of Unebi, Miminashi, and Kagu.  If these mountains are familiar, they popped up several times much earlier in the Chronicles--Mostly in the Age of the Gods and in the reign of the mythical Iware-biko, aka Jimmu Tennou.  Yet these three mountains help to set out the boundaries of the capital city that was being built at this time. There is definitely some consideration that they were emphasized in the early parts  of the Chronicles—the mythical sections, which were bolstering the story of Amaterasu and the Heavenly Grandchild, setting up the founding myths for the dynasty.  Even though the Chronicles  were not completed until well after the court had moved out, the Fujiwara capital is the climax of the Nihon Shoki, which ends in 697, three years into life at the new palace.  And so we can assume that much of the early, critical editing of the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki were done with the idea that this would be the new capital, and so it was woven into the histories, and had it continued as the capital, the very landscape would have recalled the stories of the divine origins of the Royal family and the state of Yamato itself.  This was the stage on which Ohoama's state was built.  He, and his successors, didn't just change the future path of the Yamato government.  They rearranged the physical and temporal environment, creating a world that centered them and their government.  I suspect that Ohoama didn't originally consider that these wouldn't be finished during his reign.  That said, he came to power in his 40s, only slightly younger than his brother, who had just died.  He would live to be 56 years old—a respectable age for male sovereigns, around that time.  From a quick glance, Naka no Oe was about 45 or 46 years old, while Karu lived to about 57 or 58.  Tamura only made it to 48.  The female sovereigns seem to have lasted longer, with Ohoama's mother surviving until she was 66 or 67 years old, and Kashikiya Hime made it to the ripe old age of 74.  That said, it is quite likely that he thought he would make it longer.  After all, look at all the merit he was accruing!  Still, he passed away before he could see these projects fully accomplished.  That would have to be left for the next reign—and even that wasn't enough.  The Fujiwara Capital would only be occupied for a short time before being abandoned about two reigns later, and the histories as we know them wouldn't be complete for three more reigns.  So given all of this, let's take another quick look at Ohoama himself and where he stands at this pivotal moment of Yamato history.When we look at how he is portrayed, Ohoama is generally lionized for the work he is said to have accomplished.  I would argue that he is the last of three major figures to whom are attributed most of the changes that resulted in the sinification of the Yamato government.  The first is prince Umayado, aka Shotoku Taishi, who is said to have written the 17 article constitution, the first rank system, and the introduction of Buddhism.  To be fair, these things—which may not have been exactly as recorded in the Chronicles—were likely products of the court as a whole.  Many people attribute more to Kashikiya Hime, aka Suiko Tennou, as well as Soga no Umako.  Of course, Soga no Umako wasn't a sovereign, or even a member of the royal family, and Kashikiya Hime, aka Suiko Tennou, seems to have likewise been discounted, at least later, possibly due to the fact that she is thought to have come to power more as a compromise candidate than anything else—she was the wife of a previous sovereign and niece to Soga no Umako.  Many modern scholars seem to focus more on the agency of Kashikiya Hime and suggest that she had more say than people tend to give her credit for.  That said, Shotoku Taishi seems to have been the legendary figure that was just real enough to ascribe success to.  That he died before he could assume the throne just meant that he didn't have too many problematic decisions of his own to apparently work around. The next major figure seems to be Naka no Oe, aka Tenji Tennou.  Naka no Oe kicks off the period of Great Change, the Taika era, and is credited with a lot of the changes—though I can't help but notice that the formal sovereign, Naka no Oe's uncle, Karu, seems to have stuck with the new vision of the Toyosaki Palace and the administrative state while Naka no Oe and his mother moved back to the traditional capital.  And when Naka no Oe moved the capital to Ohotsu, he once again built a palace more closely aligned to what we see in Asuka than the one in Naniwa, which brings some questions about how the new court was operating.  But many of his reforms clearly were implemented, leveraging the new concepts of continental rulership to solidify the court's hegemony over the rest of the archipelago. Ohoama, as represented in the Chronicles, appears to be the culmination of these three.  He is building on top of what his brother had implemented through the last three reigns.  Some of what he did was consolidate what Naka no Oe had done, but there were also new creations, for which Ohoama is credited, even if most of the work was done outside of Ohoama's reign, but they were attributed to Ohoama, nonetheless.  Much of this was started later in Ohoama's reign, and even today there seem to be some questions about who did what.  Nonetheless, we can at least see how the Chroniclers were putting the story together. There are a lot of scholars that point to the fact that the bulk of the work of these projects would actually be laid out in the following reigns, and who suggest that individuals like the influential Uno no Sarara, who held the control of the government in Ohoama's final days, may have had a good deal more impact on how things turned out, ultimately.  In fact, they might even have been more properly termed her projects—there are some that wonder if some of the attributions to Ohoama were meant to bolster the authority of later decrees, but I don't really see a need for that, and it seems that there is enough evidence to suggest that these projects were begun in this period. All of this makes it somewhat ironic that by the time the narrative was consolidated and published to the court, things were in a much different place—literally.  The Fujiwara capital had been abandoned.  The court, temples, and the aristocracy had picked up stakes and moved north.  Fujiwara no Fuhito had come on the scene, and now his family was really taking off.  This was not the same world that the Chronicles had been designed around. And yet, that is what was produced.  Perhaps there is a reason that they ended where they did. From that point on, though, there were plenty of other projects to record what was happening.  Attempts to control the narrative would need to do a lot more.  We see things like the Sendai Kuji Hongi, with its alternative, and perhaps even subversive, focus on the Mononobe family.  And then later works like the Kogoshui, recording for all time the grievances of the Imbe against their rivals—for all the good that it would do.  With more people learning to write, it was no longer up to the State what did or did not get written down. But that has taken us well beyond the scope of this reign—and this episode, which we should probably be bringing to a close.  There are still some things here and there that I want to discuss about this reign—so the next episode may be more of a miscellany of various records that we haven't otherwise covered, so far.  Until then if you like what we are doing, please tell your friends and feel free to rate us wherever you listen to podcasts.  If you feel the need to do more, and want to help us keep this going, we have information about how you can donate on Patreon or through our KoFi site, ko-fi.com/sengokudaimyo, or find the links over at our main website,  SengokuDaimyo.com/Podcast, where we will have some more discussion on topics from this episode.

Temat bezpieczeństwa w Berlinie powrócił w rozmowie z Janem Bogatką przy okazji przywołanych danych o liczbie przestępstw. W stolicy Niemiec – liczącej ok. 3,7 mln mieszkańców – w 2024 roku odnotowano ponad pół miliona przestępstw, czyli więcej niż w całej Polsce w tym samym okresie.Publicysta wskazuje, że różnica jest znacząca i widoczna zarówno w statystykach, jak i w codziennym funkcjonowaniu miasta.„Zagrożenie ze strony klanów jest gigantyczne”Jan Bogatko podkreśla, że problem bezpieczeństwa jest zauważany także przez władze Berlina, a jednym z jego źródeł jest działalność zorganizowanych środowisk przestępczych.„Różnica jest kolosalna. Nawet aktualny rząd miasta landu Berlina mówi o tym, że zagrożenie ze strony klanów arabskich w tym mieście jest gigantyczne. Oni coraz bardziej w tym mieście zachowują się tak, jakby byli u siebie na Bliskim Wschodzie”.Poczucie bezpieczeństwa w praktyceZdaniem Bogatki skala zjawiska jest odczuwalna także dla przyjezdnych. Jak mówi, osoby odwiedzające centrum miasta mogą mieć zupełnie inne wrażenie niż po wejściu w mniej reprezentacyjne okolice.„To jest szokujące dla wielu przybyszów do tego miasta nawet, którzy zamieszkają w luksusowym hotelu przy Bramie Brandenburskiej i zapuszczą się nieopatrznie parę ulic w bok. To nie jest miłe i można stracić nie tylko zegarek, jak to się mówiło kiedyś, tylko coś innego także”.

This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome Aubrey Sitterson, author of Free Planet Volume 1. About Free Planet Volume 1: In the wake of a grueling war of independence, a team of revolutionary heroes is tasked with defending their home and its uniquely potent energy source from multiple intergalactic superpowers intent on domination. But though they are each deeply committed to the dream of a free planet, they all have completely different ideas about what complete freedom actually entails. Faced with separatist movements, counterrevolutionaries, political deadlock, famine, equipment shortages, a looming trade war, violent attacks and wildly divergent ideas of how to handle each, can true freedom endure? Informed by real-world research and extensive design work, Aubrey Sitterson (The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling, No One Left to Fight) and Jed Dougherty (Savage Hearts, Worlds' Finest) have created a comic that functions as both literature and art object, a rumination on freedom, the sacrifices it demands, the discipline it requires and the authority that must arise in its absence. About Aubrey Sitterson: Aubrey Sitterson is a Los Angeles based writer, best known for the science-fantasy action comic No One Left to Fight, co-created with Fico Ossio; The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling graphic novel, co-created with Chris Moreno; and the successfully crowdfunded BEEF BROS, co-created with Tyrell Cannon, and Stoned Master, again with Chris Moreno. He has written for all of the industry’s top publishers, including Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, IDW, BOOM!, Oni, Dynamite and Viz.

Čo má človek robiť, keď sa ďaleko vzdialil, keď je hladný a smädný, keď je duša prázdna? Keď ho zlodej oklamal, život bolí, srdce je nepokojné a duša ubolená? Keď beznádej berie aj tú poslednú kvapku sily v živote? Boh ich vystríhal a vravel, že takto skončia, keď Ho nebudú počúvať. Oni ale zavrhli Boha […] Curt Westman

Nedeľa po Deviatniku – SEXAGESIMA Dnes, keď počujete Jeho hlas, nezatvrdzujte svoje srdcia. Hebrejom 3,15 Ezechiel 2,1-5(6-7)8-10; 3,1-3 1 Povedal mi: „Človeče, postav sa na nohy! Chcem s tebou hovoriť.“ 2 Keď hovoril so mnou, vstúpil do mňa duch, postavil ma na nohy a ja som počúval toho, ktorý hovoril so mnou. 3 Povedal mi: „Človeče, posielam ťa k Izraelitom, k odbojnému národu, ktorý sa vzbúril proti mne. Oni, ako aj ich otcovia, odpadli odo mňa až do tohto dňa. 4 Synovia majú drzú tvár a zatvrdnuté srdce. Práve k nim ťa posielam. Oslovuj ich: ‚Takto vraví Pán, Hospodin!‘ 5 Oni si však — či poslúchnu, alebo odmietnu, lebo sú domom vzdoru —, uvedomia, že bol medzi nimi prorok. 6 Ty však, človeče, neboj sa ich ani ich rečí. Neboj sa, aj keby ťa obklopovali bodliaky a tŕne, hoci by si sedel aj na škorpiónoch. Neboj sa ich rečí, neľakaj sa ich, lebo sú domom vzdoru. 7 Hovor im moje slová, či poslúchnu, alebo odmietnu, lebo sú domom vzdoru. 8 Ty však, človeče, počúvaj, čo ti hovorím: Nebuď vzdorovitý ako dom vzdoru! Otvor ústa a zjedz, čo ti dávam!“ 9 Keď som sa pozrel, práve sa vystrela ku mne ruka a v nej bol knižný zvitok. 10 Rozvinula ho predo mnou. Bol popísaný aj na prednej, aj na zadnej strane a mal nadpis: Nárek, vzdych a beda. 3, 1 Povedal mi: „Človeče, zjedz všetko, čo máš pred sebou! Zjedz tento zvitok, choď a oslov dom Izraela!“ 2 Nato som otvoril ústa a on mi dal zjesť ten zvitok 3 a povedal mi: „Človeče, nakŕm si brucho a naplň si vnútro týmto zvitkom, ktorý ti dávam.“ Keď som ho zjedol, bol v mojich ústach sladký ako med. Božie poverenie. Ezechiel mal Božie videnie. Boží hlas ho posielal k vzdorovitým Izraelcom, ktorí od Neho odpadli. Prikázal mu, aby im hovoril Božie slová, už či poslúchnu, alebo ich odmietnu. Ezechiel mal odovzdať ľudu svojho národa posolstvo s názvom „Nárek, vzdych a beda“, posolstvo trpké a ťažko stráviteľné. Dostal zvitok popísaný z oboch strán a mal ho zjesť. Mal naplniť svoje vnútro tým, čo Boh chcel zvestovať svojmu národu. Ezechiel poslúchol a zvitok zjedol. Chutil mu sladko ako med. – – A ako je to s nami? Plníme Božiu vôľu? Aj nám dal Pán Boh „zvitok“ – Jeho Slovo, Bibliu. Chce, aby sme ho ochutnali, aby sme Božím slovom napĺňali svoje vnútro. A tiež máme poverenie ako prorok Ezechiel – ísť a hovoriť Božiu pravdu ľuďom, podávať Božie posolstvo ďalej. Robme tak, kým je čas! Modlitba: Pane Bože, ďakujeme za Tvoje slovo, za duchovný pokrm. Prosíme, daj, aby sme ho prijímali ochotne a aby sme ho zrozumiteľne podávali ďalej. Hovor skrze nás a daj nám odvahu byť prorokmi v našej dobe. Veď nás, aby sme vytrvali a žili s Tebou naveky. Amen. Pieseň: ES 690 Autor: Milica Jozafova Hospodin urobil pre nás veľké veci, radovali sme sa. Žalm 126,3 Deň čo deň svorne zotrvávali v chráme, po domoch lámali chlieb a spoločne jedávali pokrm s radosťou a úprimným srdcom. Chválili Boha a tešili sa priazni celého ľudu. Skutky apoštolov 2,46-47 Lukáš 8,4-8(9-15) • Hebrejom 4,12-13 • Izaiáš 55,(6-7)8-12a • Žalm 99 •  Modlíme sa za: Rodinné spoločenstvo Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes prijímam Božie slovo do svojho vnútra, aby bolo sladké ako med, hoci prináša nárek a beda? Čo pre mňa znamená byť poslaný k vzdorovitému domu s Božím posolstvom, či poslúchnu, alebo odmietnu? Ako môžem dnes naplniť svoje srdce Božím slovom a odvážne ho zvestovať ľuďom v mojej dobe? Dnes som vďačný za tieto 3 veci: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Viac o vďačnosti, čo to je, prečo je dôležité byť vďačný, ako praktizovať vďačnosť nájdeš na blogu

Figuring out what to eat can sometimes feel like a relentless chore. And for people on the autism spectrum, mealtimes can be even more challenging—from food aversions to noisy restaurants to feeling ostracized because of what or how they eat.Today we're digging deeper with the co-hosts of The Autistic Delicatessen. It's a food podcast that centers the voices of adults with a neurodivergent perspective. Dalia met the show's producer and co-host, Larrnell Cross, at a podcasting workshop in Tampa. In this conversation, Dalia and Larrenell are joined by Autistic Delicatessen co-hosts Shalese Heard and Candi Carpenter. (Other co-hosts include Nikko Gomez, Melissa Pappas, Rachel Ann Harding and former co-host Oni.)In this conversation, Larrnell, Shalese and Candi share: Why food is a natural conversation starter for people with or without autism Why some people on the autism spectrum have aversions to certain foods or food textures. How restaurants can be more inclusive Whether you're on the spectrum or you love someone who is, settle in for this candid conversation.

„Nemyslím si, že jsme na nějakých třech procentech. Já si myslím, že jsme na nule,“ říká hejtman Jihomoravského kraje Jan Grolich ve chvíli, kdy vysvětluje, proč se rozhodl kandidovat na předsedu KDU-ČSL. Mluví o „normální slušné věcné politice“, o potřebě „odpracovat si to“ a o tom, že změna se nedá udělat za půl roku, ani za rok, ale jen dlouhodobou prací. „Máme tři roky na to tu stranu obnovit a vybudovat,“ říká a opakovaně zdůrazňuje, že ho neláká soupeření s konkrétními jmény, ale posun celé politické kultury. Do rozhovoru se silně promítá jeho kritika stávající opozice i fungování politických stran. Grolich otevřeně mluví o ztrátě důvěry i schopnosti přesvědčit veřejnost. „Všechny ty strany ztratily takovou tu ekonomickou, hospodářskou kompetenci,“ říká a dodává, že bez silných osobností a odborného zázemí není možné znovu získat voličské hlasy. Jihomoravský hejtman ale přibližuje i svůj pohled na styl politiky, komunikaci i vztah k veřejnosti. Odmítá politiku uzavřenou v institucích a procedurách, která se míjí s realitou běžných lidí. „Oni jsou fakt extrémně zavření v té sněmovně,“ říká o parlamentních politicích a dodává, že když s lidmi nejste v kontaktu, tak ztratíte schopnost jim cokoliv vysvětlit. Mluví o zkušenosti z kraje, kde i nepopulární rozhodnutí dokázal obhájit osobním kontaktem a vysvětlováním. „Postavíte se před ty lidi, ať se vás můžou ptát, ať jim to můžete vysvětlit,“ popisuje způsob, jakým chce politiku dělat. Rozhovor se dotýká i celostátní politiky a sporů kolem jmenování Filipa Turka ministrem. Nechápe, proč v situaci, kdy je problém s jmenováním koaličních partnerů, Andrej Babiš nepodniká žádné právní kroky. „Já jsem vlastně nikdy neslyšel ten důvod, proč Andrej Babiš jako premiér kompetenční žalobu nepodal,“ říká a dodává, že pokud předseda vlády za svým kandidátem stojí, má situaci řešit. Zároveň naznačuje, že současná situace ukazuje hlubší krizi vládnutí i koaličního fungování. Mluví o tom, že Andrej Babiš podle něj „nemá vůbec prostor vládnout“, protože je permanentně vtahován do osobních sporů a konfliktů svých partnerů, které odvádějí pozornost od skutečné politiky. V této souvislosti poprvé nahlas připouští i scénář, který i podle něj samotného nemá reálnou šanci na vznik - možnost úřednické vlády. „To je jediná relevantní cesta, kde má smysl se o tom bavit,“ říká a popisuje model vlády expertů s jasným zadáním, na němž by se musely shodnout politické strany i prezident. Co podle něj dnes chybí české opozici? Proč věří, že KDU-ČSL může znovu vyrůst v silnou politickou sílu? Kde vidí hranici mezi srozumitelnou politikou a populismem? A proč si myslí, že „kvalitní opozice má donutit vládu reagovat“? Poslechněte si celý rozhovor.

 W najbliższych dniach w Pałacu Prezydenckim ma dojść do spotkania prezydenta z przedstawicielami klubów i kół parlamentarnych. Nie wszystkie ugrupowania zapowiedziały jednak udział. W Radiu Wnet o znaczeniu tej inicjatywy i jej politycznych konsekwencjach mówił Robert Bagiński z portalu Inna Polityka.Zdaniem Roberta Bagińskiego zapowiedziane rozmowy pokazują, że prezydent Karol Nawrocki wchodzi w politykę nie tylko w wymiarze symbolicznym, ale również praktycznym.Prezydent wchodzi do polityki mocniej, bo jest o czym rozmawiać. Polacy właśnie tego oczekują od głowy państwa – żeby rozmawiała, bo mamy dziś ogrom spraw, którym trzeba nadać bieg– komentował. Jak podkreślał gość Radia Wnet, brak rozmowy między najważniejszymi instytucjami państwa staje się sam w sobie problemem politycznym.Brak rozmowy jest politycznym grzechem. I ten grzech dziś popełniają rządzący – w tym przypadku Koalicja Obywatelska oraz Lewica– mówi. Bagiński odnosił się wprost do zapowiedzi nieobecności części ugrupowań na spotkaniu w Pałacu Prezydenckim. Jego zdaniem nie jest to gest wobec osoby prezydenta, lecz wobec państwa jako takiego.Jeżeli ktoś myśli, że w ten sposób bojkotuje Karola Nawrockiego, bo wchodzi na ich poletko, to nie. Oni bojkotują instytucję państwa– dodaje. Dziennikarz zwracał uwagę, że taki gest wpisuje się w szerszy problem osłabiania autorytetu instytucji publicznych.Nie bylibyśmy tym zdziwieni, gdyby nie fakt, że wiele innych instytucji państwowych jest po prostu niszczonych– wskazał. Ustawy prezydenckie bez biegu w SejmieJednym z powodów zaproszenia partii do rozmów – jak wskazywał Bagiński – jest impas wokół prezydenckich inicjatyw legislacyjnych.W Sejmie jest kilka ustaw prezydenckich, którym nie nadano żadnego biegu. Nie są procedowane w żaden sposób– zwrócił uwagę. Wśród nich wymieniał m.in. projekty dotyczące cen energii – jego zdaniem kluczowe społecznie.Sprawa obniżenia cen energii, szczególnie po mroźnej zimie, może być dla wielu Polaków wręcz zabójcza– dodał. Gość Radia Wnet przekonywał, że niechęć do rozmów z prezydentem ma także wymiar czysto wizerunkowy.Rządzący nie chcą, aby prezydent był pokazywany jako ktoś, kto prowadzi dialog w ważnych dla obywateli sprawach– komentował. Jak dodał, koliduje to z narracją, w której prezydent ma być przedstawiany wyłącznie jako hamulcowy działań rządu./fa

This bamboo grove has changed a bit from the past, hasn't it?" Aiko said with a smile.Ja: 彼女の笑顔は、昔からハルトの心を和ませる力を持っていた。En: Her smile had always had the power to soothe Haruto's heart since they were young.Ja: 「うん、たしかに...」とハルトは答えた。En: "Yeah, it certainly has..." Haruto replied.Ja: しかし、そのとき突然、ハルトは胸に鋭い痛みを感じた。En: However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.Ja: 顔をしかめ、足を止めた。En: He grimaced and stopped walking.Ja: ミツオがすぐに気付いて、「大丈夫か？」と心配そうに声を掛けた。En: Mitsuo immediately noticed and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"Ja: 「大丈夫だ」とハルトは応えたが、本当は少し不安だった。En: "I'm fine," Haruto responded, but in truth, he was a little anxious.Ja: 今、もしここで歩くのをやめたら、アイコに思いを伝える機会を永遠に失ってしまうかもしれない。En: If he stopped walking now, he might forever lose the chance to express his feelings to Aiko.Ja: だから彼は、痛みをこらえて歩き続けることにした。En: So he decided to endure the pain and keep walking.Ja: やがて、節分の豆まきの時間がやってきた。En: Soon, the time for the Setsubun bean-throwing event arrived.Ja: 子どもたちが「鬼は外！福は内！」と声を合わせて叫びながら、豆をまいていた。En: Children were shouting in unison, "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" as they threw beans.Ja: その様子を見ていると、少しずつハルトの心は落ち着いてきた。En: Watching this scene, Haruto's heart gradually calmed down.Ja: しかし、豆まきが最高潮に達したとき、ハルトの胸の痛みが再び襲った。En: However, when the bean-throwing reached its peak, the pain in Haruto's chest struck again.Ja: 驚いたアイコとミツオは、すぐに彼を支えた。En: Aiko and Mitsuo, surprised, quickly supported him.Ja: まるで自分の無力さを感じさせる痛みだった。En: It was a pain that made him feel his own helplessness.Ja: ハルトは地面に崩れ落ち、自分の限界を悟った。En: Haruto collapsed on the ground and realized his limit.Ja: すぐに救急車が呼ばれ、ハルトは病院へ運ばれた。En: An ambulance was immediately called, and Haruto was taken to the hospital.Ja: アイコの優しい手が彼の手を握っていたが、結局、彼の言葉はそこに残ったままだった。En: Aiko's gentle hand held his, but in the end, his words were left unsaid.Ja: 「また...また会えるよね」とアイコが涙を浮かべて言った。En: "We'll see each other again, right?" Aiko said, teary-eyed.Ja: 病院のベッドで目を覚ましたハルトは、心の中で新たな決意をした。En: Waking up in the hospital bed, Haruto made a new resolution in his heart.Ja: 怖がることをやめ、いつか必ず、アイコに自分の気持ちを伝えようと。En: He would stop being afraid and someday, he would surely tell Aiko how he felt.Ja: その時が来るまで、彼は自分の弱さを受け入れ、心を強くすることを学ぶのだ。En: Until that time came, he would learn to accept his weaknesses and strengthen his heart.Ja: 節分の思い出がやがて彼の心に明るい灯火をともすだろう。En: The memories of Setsubun would eventually light a bright flame in his heart.

„Oni byli dospělí, my jsme byli malí. Jejich chyby nejsou naše vina a nic jim nedlužíme. Zkuste myslet nejdřív na sebe, až pak na ně,” říká v první epizodě série Rodina na prach Patrik Buday. V rozhovorech s třemi mladými lidmi řeší nastavování vztahů s dysfunkčními rodiči.

 W rozmowie w Radiu Wnet Michał Karnowski zwraca uwagę na jeden moment przełomowy: autonomizację Szymona Hołowni wobec Donalda Tuska. Jego zdaniem to nie jest już tylko retoryka ani medialna zagrywka.„Jeśli Hołownia ma kilkanaście szabel, to zaczyna się nowa jakość. To już nie targowanie się z Tuskiem, tylko realna próba szantażu politycznego.”Karnowski podkreśla, że w wywiadzie dla Polsatu Hołownia jasno dał do zrozumienia, że nie czuje się związany jednym obozem. Rozmawia z Tuskiem, ale nie wyklucza rozmów z PiS-em ani z prezydentem.„On mówi wprost: możemy być z Tuskiem, ale na własnych warunkach. Albo wcale.”Zdaniem publicysty to szczególnie groźne dla premiera, bo większość sejmowa opiera się dziś na bardzo kruchych fundamentach. Kilkunastu posłów może w kluczowych momentach decydować o losach ustaw, a nawet rządu.„Szesnastu posłów przy sprawnej grze może przełożyć się na potężne wpływy. Większość decyduje, czy rządzisz.”Karnowski zwraca też uwagę na motywację samego zaplecza Hołowni. Dla wielu posłów Polski 2050 obecna koalicja nie daje realnych korzyści ani perspektyw na przyszłość.„Oni wiedzą, że dziś są tylko masą upadłościową. Hołownia mówi im: nie bądźcie popiołem, zagrajmy twardo.”W tej logice oferta Hołowni może być dla nich atrakcyjna — nawet jeśli oznacza polityczne ryzyko.„Jeżeli wejdziemy w ich buty, ta propozycja naprawdę ma sens. Daje im podmiotowość.”Karnowski nie przesądza, czy dojdzie do rozpadu koalicji, ale podkreśla jedno: to pierwszy od dawna realny czynnik destabilizujący władzę Donalda Tuska, a nie tylko medialny szum./fa Najnowsze:Dobromir Sośnierz: Konfederacja przygotowuje szczegółowy program i twardą strategię migracyjną27 stycznia 2026, 11:17Policja dementuje oskarżenia prokuratury w sprawie przetrzymywania akt27 stycznia 2026, 10:34Bartosz Gondek: „To ostatni moment”.

 Tomasz Szymborski przypomina w Radiu Wnet decyzje podjęte po 1989 roku, które – jego zdaniem – do dziś rzutują na bezpieczeństwo państwa. Wraz z likwidacją struktur wywiadu PRL i budową nowych służb III RP nastąpił faktyczny reset działalności polskiego wywiadu na kierunku niemieckim.Jak podkreśla, nie chodzi o personalne rozliczenia czy weryfikację kadr, lecz o strategiczną decyzję: zwiniecie wszystkich aktywów wywiadowczych w Niemczech. Decyzja ta miała wynikać z założenia, że państw sojuszniczych się nie szpieguje.Krótko mówiąc, uznano, że Niemcy są naszym promotorem na Zachodzie – do NATO i Unii Europejskiej – więc prowadzenie wobec nich działań wywiadowczych byłoby nieeleganckie i nierycerskie– wyjaśnia Szymborski.Efekt? Polska, która jeszcze w czasach PRL dysponowała rozbudowaną siatką wywiadowczą w RFN, po transformacji została na tym kierunku całkowicie rozbrojona informacyjnie.Z rozmów z młodymi funkcjonariuszami Agencji Wywiadu wynika wprost: od lat nie mamy żadnych realnych aktywów w Niemczech. Jesteśmy tam po prostu głusi i ślepi– wskazuje. Drugi kluczowy wątek rozmowy dotyczy ciągłości działań niemieckich służb w Polsce. W przeciwieństwie do strony polskiej, Niemcy – jak mówi Szymborski – nigdy nie porzucili kierunku wschodniego.Dla Niemiec Polska od wieków była głównym przeciwnikiem strategicznym. Bez względu na nazwę i ustrój, niemieckie służby zawsze pracowały na kierunku polskim– zauważa. Publicysta zwraca uwagę na symboliczne i bardzo czytelne sygnały: ambasadorami Niemiec w Polsce byli byli szef i wiceszef BND, czyli cywilnego wywiadu RFN. To – jego zdaniem – nie są nominacje przypadkowe ani grzecznościowe.To jest elita niemieckiego wywiadu. Oni nie przyjeżdżają do Warszawy odpoczywać, tylko dlatego, że Polska jest dla Niemiec państwem absolutnie kluczowym– mówi. Podobnie interpretuje rozbudowaną sieć niemieckich placówek konsularnych na Śląsku i Opolszczyźnie, wskazując, że ich lokalizacja ma znaczenie strategiczne, a nie wyłącznie administracyjne czy związane z mniejszościami narodowymi.W konkluzji rozmowy Tomasz Szymborski podkreśla, że nie chodzi o antyniemiecką histerię ani o kwestionowanie sojuszy, lecz o elementarną zasadę suwerenności informacyjnej.Wywiad – jego zdaniem – powinien być apolityczny i działać niezależnie od aktualnej władzy, patrząc zarówno na Wschód, jak i na Zachód.Państwo, które rezygnuje z rozpoznania jednego z kluczowych kierunków strategicznych, samo pozbawia się narzędzi do podejmowania racjonalnych decyzji– podsumowuje. /fa

W dzisiejszej Ewangelii św. Mateusz opowiada o początku misji Jezusa. Jej częścią jest powołanie pierwszych apostołów. „Pójdźcie za Mną, a uczynię was rybakami ludzi. Oni natychmiast zostawili sieci i poszli za Nim” (Mt 4,19-20). A my? Czy słuchamy Jego głosu? Czy jesteśmy gotowi zwrócić się ku światłu, którym jest sam Jezus, aktywnie naśladując Go w naszym życiu? W jaki szczególny sposób zaprasza nas On do udziału w Jego misji?

In Teen Wolf 3×22, “De-Void,” the pack is still trying to keep Stiles alive while the Oni keep dropping in like it's a scheduled appointment. Sheriff Stilinski shows up at the loft hoping to save his son, and Void Stiles responds by calmly pressing every single Dad Trauma button he can reach.Meanwhile, Noshiko confirms what we've all been dreading: the Nogitsune isn't just haunting Stiles — it's multiplying the problem. Void Stiles pulls the last tail and unleashes a swarm of flies that spreads across Beacon Hills, possessing basically anyone who stands still for too long.Isaac wakes up and chooses violence, Derek gets infected through an open wound (no thank you), and the situation devolves into “who is possessed right now” chaos at both the Argents' apartment and the school. Allison and Kira go full weapons-mode, because girls' night in Beacon Hills is always a combat scenario.Back at the McCall house, Deaton breaks out the kanima venom like it's just another Tuesday, and Scott and Lydia go into Stiles's mind to find the real him — where Stiles is playing Go with the Nogitsune on the Nemeton. Scott howls, Stiles looks up, and the board flips.For a second, it works.And then Teen Wolf reminds us it's Teen Wolf: Stiles is back, but the Nogitsune slips out anyway and takes Lydia with it.If the evil can leave, what else can it take?xoxoFotR

Jak složité je pro humanitární organizace působení v současném Afghánistánu, jedné z nejchudších zemí světa? „Specifikem mezi státy Blízkého východu je vládnoucí hnutí Tálibán.

„Premiér Fico je bezmocný. Najmocnejší vo vláde sú teraz ministri, ktorí keby sa vrátili do parlamentu, môžu vydierať“, hovorí o rozpoložení moci vrámci aktuálnej vládnej koalície opozičný poslanec František Mikloško. Poukazuje pritom na mená ako Rudolf Huliak, Martina Šimkovičová či Peter Kotlár. „To sú dnes mocnejší ľudia ako premiér“. „Už sa tejto noci táto vláda nezbaví“ – nestor slovenského parlamentu František Mikloško tak reagoval na prelomenie prezidentovho veta po štvrtkovom nočnom rokovaní. Noc, ktorá nebola vážna len pre obsah rokovania. Noc, ktorá opäť obnažila úroveň nositeľov moci. Alkohol, vulgarizmy, náznaky fyzických stretov. A to všetko ako kontext pre zákon, ktorý sa nielen existenčne dotkne tímu, ktorý vybudoval fungujúci úrad a poskytoval ochranu oznamovateľom korupcie, ale oslabí dôveru v inštitúcie a protikorupčné nastavenie, ako upozorňujú jeho kritici. Slovensko má za sebou jednu z ďalších kapitol z radu „noci dlhých nožov“ z čias Vladimíra Mečiara, ktorá vtedy prekreslila mocenské siločiary až do úrovne inštitúcií. V piatok predpoludním opäť zaznelo, že „včerajšia noc sa zapíše do dejín“ a „vláda sa jej nezbaví“ – František Mikloško teraz hovoril o vláde Roberta Fica. Čo nezmazateľné na nej vidí? A kam nás takéto škvrny ťahajú? Otázky na Františka Mikloška. „Premiér Fico je bezmocný.

Poukazuje pritom na mená ako Rudolf Huliak, Martina Šimkovičová či Peter Kotlár. „To sú dnes mocnejší ľudia ako premiér“. „To je až neuveriteľné. Oni dostali zelenú kartu, majú voľné ruky. Samozrejme, že asi budú cítiť nejakú hranicu, ale sú neodvolateľní. Premiér je v tejto chvíli bezmocný. Jeho ústavné právomoci, že môže kedykoľvek odvoliť ministra, sa veľmi spochybnili“Čiže, vy hovoríte, že premiér ako najmocnejší muž tejto krajiny je bezmocný smerom k svojej vláde, ku koalícii?„Bezmocný. Najmocnejší ľudia sú teraz ministri v tej vláde. Keby sas vrátili do parlamentu, môžu vydierať a odísť do opozície. To sú dneska mocnejší ľudia ako premiér.“Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.

V piatok predpoludním opäť zaznelo, že „včerajšia noc sa zapíše do dejín“ a „vláda sa jej nezbaví“ – František Mikloško teraz hovoril o vláde Roberta Fica. Čo nezmazateľné na nej vidí? A kam nás takéto škvrny ťahajú? Otázky na Františka Mikloška. „Premiér Fico je bezmocný. Najmocnejší vo vláde sú teraz ministri, ktorí keby sa vrátili do parlamentu, môžu vydierať“, hovorí o rozpoložení moci vrámci aktuálnej vládnej koalície opozičný poslanec František Mikloško. Poukazuje pritom na mená ako Rudolf Huliak, Martina Šimkovičová či Peter Kotlár. „To sú dnes mocnejší ľudia ako premiér“. „To je až neuveriteľné. Oni dostali zelenú kartu, majú voľné ruky. Samozrejme, že asi budú cítiť nejakú hranicu, ale sú neodvolateľní. Premiér je v tejto chvíli bezmocný. Jeho ústavné právomoci, že môže kedykoľvek odvoliť ministra, sa veľmi spochybnili“Čiže, vy hovoríte, že premiér ako najmocnejší muž tejto krajiny je bezmocný smerom k svojej vláde, ku koalícii?„Bezmocný. Najmocnejší ľudia sú teraz ministri v tej vláde. Keby sas vrátili do parlamentu, môžu vydierať a odísť do opozície. To sú dneska mocnejší ľudia ako premiér.“Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.

Ľudmila Mandžárová je legendou slovenského dabingového sveta. Jej hlas si milióny divákov spájajú s hviezdami ako Meryl Streep či Susan Sarandon. Narodila sa na Silvestra, v rodine režiséra, no jej cesta k herectvu nebola priamočiara – vážne uvažovala o štúdiu fyziky. Osud to však zariadil inak, rovnako ako v prípade jej životnej lásky. S manželom, režisérom Štefanom Mandžárom, tvorili nerozlučný pár v súkromí aj v práci. Ich vzťah nezačal ako blesk z jasného neba, ale vyklíčil z hlbokého priateľstva. Herečka sa v našom rozhovore dotkla najboľavejšej témy svojho života. Obaja manželia skončili v nemocnici s ťažkým priebehom covidu, no z boja sa vrátila len ona. Návrat do života jej uľahčila práca, hoci v seriáli Dunaj stvárnila postavu, ktorá jej bola ľudsky vzdialená. Ako tvrdá a nepríjemná matka jednej z postav v sebe hľadať polohy, ktoré sú jej cudzie. Aktuálne ju však diváci môžu znovu aj počuť. Nahovorila totiž jednu z postavičiek v očakávanom pokračovaní animáku Zootropolis. Premieta sa v kinách od štvrtka. S nostalgiou spomína na éru, keď bol v dabingu čas postavu si naštudovať a prežiť. Dnešná realita je podľa nej uponáhľaná a technokratická. „Je to všetko ako na bežiacom páse. Veľmi obdivujem mladých ľudí, ktorí do toho skočili. Oni len chytajú synchróny, hovoria a hovoria. Je mi ľúto, že nemajú šancu na vývoj citovejšej polohy,“ hodnotí súčasný stav priemyslu, do ktorého sa pomaly tlačí aj umelá inteligencia. V novej epizóde relácie Rozhovory so Zdenom Gáfrikom sa dozviete aj to, ako sa jej podarilo prežiť najťažšie mesiace po strate manžela vďaka technike „žitia v prítomnosti“, prečo si myslí, že sme ako spoločnosť prestali počúvať, a či by si trúfla dabovať Meryl Streep aj po anglicky. To aj mnoho ďalších tém sme s Ľudmilou Mandžárovou prebrali a vy si to môžete pozrieť alebo vypočuť v podobe podcastu.

Poznań pod panowaniem pruskiego zaborcy przeszedł przebudowę i rozwinął się z mieściny liczącej 12 tysięcy mieszkańców w 1793 roku do 150 tysięcy w roku 1918. W międzyczasie stał się twierdzą, ostoją klasy średniej i ośrodkiem polskości, która wciąż zmagała się z przytłaczającym ekonomicznie i dość atrakcyjnym żywiołem niemieckim. – Ten zewnętrzny polor był niemiecki. Jeden pomniczek Mickiewicza gdzieś tam stojący w kącie, który przypomina o tym, że to jest polskie miasto – tak opisuje Poznań na początku XX wieku prof. Przemysław Matusik, dziekan Wydziału Historii Uniwersytetu Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu.* * *Zajrzyj:https://patronite.pl/radionaukowehttps://wydawnictworn.pl/ * * *Na początku polscy mieszkańcy Poznania nie musieli wcale dotkliwie odczuwać pruskiego zaboru. W regionie działało polskie szkolnictwo ludowe, w urzędach akty prawne wydawano w dwóch językach, po polsku i po niemiecku. Do początku lat 30. XIX wieku pruscy zaborcy nie wywierali zbyt wielkiego wpływu na życie zwykłych Polaków. Sytuacja zmieniła się po powstaniu listopadowym. – Dla Prusaków wielkim rozczarowaniem było to, że poznańska elita w tak poważnym stopniu wsparła powstanie listopadowe – tłumaczy historyk. – Oni są lojalistami i oczekują, że ich poznańscy poddani, którzy złożyli przysięgę na wierność królowi pruskiemu, nie będą pakowali się w awanturę polityczną, która ich nie dotyczy. Pomysłem władz zaborczych było przekonanie do siebie najliczniejszej grupy Polaków: chłopów.Edykt uwłaszczeniowy ogłoszono tu już w 1823 roku (40 lat wcześniej niż w zaborze rosyjskim), a działania zintensyfikowano w latach 30. Uwłaszczano przede wszystkim bogatszych chłopów, a jednocześnie wpływano na strukturę narodowościową w samym Poznaniu: w latach 30. stopniowo usuwa się Polaków ze średnich i wyższych szczebli urzędniczych. A Poznań urzędami stoi: w mieście nie było dużych zakładów przemysłowych (porównywalnych np. z łódzkimi), przeważał sektor usługowy, dużo było drobnych kupców, rzemieślników. Mimo to żywioł polski coraz mocniej do miasta przenikał. Im mocniej Prusacy dokręcali śrubę, z tym większym oporem się spotykali. W odcinku usłyszycie też, dlaczego to właśnie w Poznaniu niższe warstwy społeczne miały o wiele większe możliwości awansu niż gdzie indziej, jaki wpływ wywarła na Poznań decyzja o przekształceniu miasta w twierdzę i co się stało, kiedy władze pruskie zabroniły używać języka polskiego w szkołach. Odcinek powstał podczas XVI podróży Radia Naukowego do Poznania. Podróże są możliwe dzięki wspierającej nas społeczności Patronek i Patronów. 

Jestem bardzo rozczarowany postawą naszego narodu. Jak wszyscy wiemy, Zbigniew Ziobro, uciekając przed prześladowaniami ze strony Donalda Tuska, musiał schronić się w najdalej na zachód wysuniętej dzielnicy Moskwy, Budapeszcie. Biedak został zmuszony do rozłąki z ojczyzną i udał się na obczyznę. A Polacy co? Czy się przejmują? Nie. Oni siedzą, piją kawę, oglądają filmy, zamiast pochylić się nad losem byłego ministra sprawiedliwości. Bo czyż nie powinna burzyć się w nas krew, gdy widzimy, że ten sprawiedliwy mąż musiał udać się na wygnanie? Czy nikt nawet nie uroni jednej łzy? Polacy, co się z wami dzieje? Na koń nie wsiadacie? Za szable nie chwytacie?

Buckle up, patriots—today's show is a full-throttle takedown of the globalist swamp and a victory lap for America's unbreakable spirit! We're kicking off with Border Czar Tom Homan dropping RECORD deportation bombshells—millions shipped out as we speak, no mercy for the invaders turning our streets into war zones. Then, we're exposing the unhinged leftist meltdown: a Denver classroom whiteboard screaming "NO ONE IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LAND—F*CK ICE & TRUMP!" while teachers brainwash kids with anti-American poison. President Trump? He's jet-setting Asia like a boss, inking the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords to end the Cambodia-Thailand bloodbath, sealing massive trade deals that crush China's chokehold, and prepping for a Thursday showdown with Xi Jinping. Malaysia's PM is singing Trump's praises louder than a rock concert—peace through strength, baby! Pull the funding from these woke indoctrination mills, DOJ—let's make America safe again!Indo-Pacific legend Capt. James E. Fanell (Ret.), ex-Director of Intelligence for the U.S. Pacific Fleet and co-author of Embracing Communist China, storms the show to decode Trump's Asia blitz. How do these mineral-grabbing, tariff-slaying pacts with Malaysia, Cambodia, and Thailand box in Beijing's supply chain empire right before Xi's forced to the table? Will the U.S.-Japan mega-deal under new PM Sanae Takaichi shield Tokyo from ChiCom coercion, or spark South China Sea fireworks? Fanell's spilling ONI intel on TikTok as a Trojan horse, Japan's mass deportation dreams amid their baby bust, and the ticking clock to Asian Armageddon—does Xi crave war or the slow bleed? This is must-hear strategy from the guy who's tracked Red China's rise since 2005—get ready to arm yourself with truth!We're ripping the veil off the shadowy "Jewish Infiltration" gripping America—from dual-citizen CDC overlords during COVID chaos to the porn empire's Zionist puppeteers like Bernd Bergmair (Pornhub's secret Jew kingpin) and Solomon Friedman (rabbi-turned-pedo-defender now "ethically" owning the site). These hookup apps and trafficking-tied filth are engineered societal nukes—shattering families, fueling fatherless kids, and pumping child abuse chats straight to your screen. Tim Tebow's Capitol Hill horror stories will chill your blood, and we're demanding states crush it with age verification—Pornhub's already bailing from Arizona!
