From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Liderii Uniunii Europene incearca sa ajunga astazi la o intelegere despre cum să finanţeze Ucraina urmatorii doi ani. Opţiunea preferată este utilizarea activelor ruseşti îngheţate în UE, dar care depinde de aprobarea improbabila a Belgiei. Pe agenda intalnirii este si extinderea Uniunii Europene, dar nu sunt vesti prea bune nici pentru Kiev, nici pentru Chisinau. Dezvoltam imediat. "Franța nu semnează acordul cu țările Mercosur". Proteste violente la Bruxelles Presedintele Emmanuel Macron anunta ferm de la Bruxelles: "Franta nu semneaza acordul cu tarile Mercosur", sub presiunea agricultorilor si a unei clase politice care se opune aproape in unanimitate acordului cu blocul sud-american. Sunt proteste violente la Bruxelles, aproximativ 10.000 de fermieri au iesit in strada cu utilaje. Economist: măsurile fiscale ale guvernului sunt luate strict politic, fără studii de impact Salariul minim va creste anul viitor, dar de la 1 iulie, nu de la 1 ianuarie, cheltuielile in administratia centrala vor fi reduse cu 10%, fara a fi afectate salariile de baza, impozitul minim pe cifra de afaceri scade la 0,5% , in timp ce parlamentarii si partidele pierd zece la suta din venituri. Economistul Adrian Negrescu spune ca masurile fiscale ale guvernului sunt luate strict politic, fara studii de impact. Companiile care produc in Romania sunt sanctionate asa cum nu se intampla in lumea civilizata, mai atrage atentia economistul. Legea pentru combaterea antisemitismului și xenofobiei a fost adoptată de Parlament. Care sunt schimbările Actul normativ a fost retrimis Parlamentului de Nicușor Dan pentru reexaminare, însă obiecțiile președintelui au fost respinse, astfel că proiectul a trecut în forma în care a fost adoptat prima dată. Odată cu promulgarea legii, Parchetul General nu va mai avea nicio scuză să nu condamne în mod sistematic antisemitismul și xenofobia, spune politologul Cristian Pîrvulescu. Ii veti asculta argumentele in 40 de minute.
De Crăciun infractorii nu iau pauze, ci dimpotrivă - pentru răufăcători, sărbătorile de iarnă sunt un bun prilej pentru a înșela și mai mulți oameni.

La 500 a ajuns numarul judecătorilor și procurorilor care au transmis un mesaj de solidaritate față de magistrații care au făcut dezvăluirile din documentarul Recorder. Si Laura Codruța Kovesi, procurorul-șef al Parchetului European, a semnat apelul magistraților români care s-au solidarizat cu judecătorii Laurențiu Beșu și Raluca Moroșanu. Intre timp, președinta Curtii de Apel Bucuresti spune că difuzarea la TVR a documentarului Recorder despre Justiție este "instigare împotriva ordinii constituționale". Ucraina este dispusă să ia în considerare crearea unei zone demilitarizate în Donbas (Le Monde) Cotidianul francez scrie, citandu-l pe consilierul presedintelui Zelenski, ca Ucraina ar putea accepta o concesie majora pentru incheierea razboiului. Kievul ar putea fi de acord cu crearea unei zone demilitarizate in Donbas. Propunerea a fost deja inaintata presedintelui Donald Trump. Al doilea caz de lepră a fost confirmat la Cluj-Napoca. Ce spune ministrul Sănătății DSP Cluj confirma al doilea caz de lepră. Alte două cazuri sunt în curs de evaluare clinică şi microbiologică. Ce măsuri au fost luate ne va spune corespondentul RFI, Bianca Padurean. Dificultățile energetice prin care trece Republica Moldova din cauza atacurilor Rusiei asupra sistemului energetic al Ucrainei au devenit subiect de stiri false in Romania Fake-news-urile sunt alimentate și de retorica unor lideri de opinie si chiar lideri politici din zona suveranista. Autoritățile din tara vecina explica: Chisinaul își achita integral nota de plata către România, chiar dacă energia de avarie costa de 4-5 ori mai mult decat cea cumparata în regim comercial.

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: Whispers Through Torii: A Winter Encounter in Kyoto Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ja/episode/2025-12-02-08-38-20-ja Story Transcript:Ja: 冬の朝、冷たい空気が京都の街を包む中、晴樹と同級生たちは伏見稲荷大社への遠足に出かけました。En: On a winter morning, as the cold air enveloped the city of Kyoto, Haruki and his classmates set out on a field trip to Fushimi Inari Taisha.Ja: 赤い鳥居のトンネルがそびえ立ち、山肌をカーブして続くその光景に、彼の心は静かに打たれていました。En: The tunnels of red torii stood tall, curving along the mountainside, a sight that quietly struck a chord in his heart.Ja: 「今日は楽しくなるといいな」と、晴樹は心の中でつぶやきました。En: "I hope today turns out to be fun," Haruki muttered to himself.Ja: いつもは静かで、人との会話が苦手な彼は、En: He was usually quiet and not very good at talking with people.Ja: 文化や歴史に強い興味を持っていましたが、そのことで他の生徒から少し浮いているように感じていました。En: Even though he had a strong interest in culture and history, he felt somewhat out of place among the other students.Ja: そのため、彼はしばしば孤独を感じ、クラスメートとの関わり方に悩んでいました。En: As a result, he often felt lonely and struggled with how to connect with his classmates.Ja: 一方、クラスメートのユキはいつも明るくて元気。En: On the other hand, his classmate Yuki was always bright and energetic.Ja: 彼女は誰とでもすぐに仲良くなれる性格ですが、心の奥に似たような寂しさを抱えていました。En: She had a personality that allowed her to easily become friends with anyone, but deep down, she harbored a similar loneliness.Ja: 遠足が始まり、クラスメートたちは賑やかに笑顔で写真を撮ったり、おしゃべりを楽しんだりしていました。En: The field trip began, and the classmates cheerfully took photos and enjoyed chatting with one another.Ja: しかし、晴樹は少し離れた場所で静かに立ち止まり、周りの風景に見入ることを選びました。En: Haruki, however, chose to quietly stand a little apart, engrossed in the surrounding scenery.Ja: 「本当にここに来て良かったのかな…」とひそかに思いながら。En: While doing so, he silently wondered, "Did I really make the right choice by coming here..."Ja: 彼は意を決して、クラスの列から離れて一人静かな道を選びました。En: He gathered his resolve and chose a quiet path, stepping away from the class line.Ja: 冬の清らかな空気が彼の頬を撫で、鳥居の連なる道を一人歩き出しました。En: The pure winter air caressed his cheeks as he began walking alone along the path of torii.Ja: その途中、小道の角を曲がると、彼は同じく一人歩いているユキに出会いました。En: Turning a corner on the trail, he encountered Yuki, who was also walking alone.Ja: 「晴樹くん？」と驚いた顔を上げたユキは、En: "Haruki-kun?" Yuki said, lifting her face in surprise.Ja: 少し微笑むと、「一緒に歩いてもいい？」と聞きました。En: With a slight smile, she asked, "Is it okay if I walk with you?"Ja: 少し戸惑った晴樹は、控えめに頷きました。En: A bit bewildered, Haruki gave a modest nod.Ja: 二人は言葉少なにしばらく歩きました。En: They walked in near silence for a while.Ja: やがて、木々に囲まれた静かな場所に差しかかると、小さな石の祭壇が目に入りました。En: Eventually, they arrived at a peaceful spot surrounded by trees, where a small stone altar caught their eyes.Ja: そこには七五三の飾りがまだ残っており、その周りには赤と白の美しい千歳飴の包み紙が静かに落ちていました。En: The decorations from the shichigosan festival were still there, and around it lay the beautiful red and white wrappers of chitose ame quietly scattered.Ja: 「ここ、素敵だね」とユキが言いました。En: "This place is lovely," Yuki said.Ja: 「この祭壇、忘れられたみたい。でもまだ、とても特別。」En: "This altar seems forgotten, yet it's still so special."Ja: その言葉に彼は少し安心し、自分の思いをポツリポツリと話し始めました。En: Reassured by her words, Haruki began to slowly share his thoughts.Ja: 文化や歴史に触れることで自分が何かもっと大きなものの一部になりたいこと、そしてそれが人との距離を作ってしまう不安。En: He spoke about wanting to become part of something larger by connecting with culture and history, and the anxiety that this created a distance between him and others.Ja: ユキも自分の気持ちを語りました。いつも明るく見せるけれど、本当に心を開ける人を探していること。En: Yuki, too, shared her feelings—she always seemed bright but was searching for someone with whom she could truly open up.Ja: その場に立ち、心を通わせたことで、二人はなんだか軽くなった気がしました。En: Standing there, as they communicated with their hearts, the two felt somehow lighter.Ja: ありのままの自分を理解してくれる存在がいることに気づいたからです。En: They realized the importance of having someone who understood them as they truly were.Ja: やがて、二人はゆっくりと仲間のいる場所に戻りました。En: Eventually, they returned slowly to where their classmates were.Ja: 心の重荷は軽くなり、晴樹は初めて自信を持って仲間に話しかけることができました。En: The weight on their hearts had lifted, and for the first time, Haruki could confidently speak to his friends.Ja: その後の時間、彼は笑顔を見せ、みんなと写真を撮り、遠足を心から楽しむことができました。En: From then on, he showed his smile, took pictures with everyone, and truly enjoyed the field trip.Ja: それ以来、晴樹は少しずつ他の友人たちとも心を通わせるようになり、ユキとも大切な友達として毎日を過ごしていきました。En: Since that day, Haruki gradually began to connect more with other friends and continued to spend each day as close friends with Yuki.Ja: 伏見稲荷での一日は、彼にとって忘れられない特別な思い出の始まりとなったのです。En: That day at Fushimi Inari became the beginning of an unforgettable and special memory for him.

Festivalul Internațional de Literatură și Traducere de la Iași, FILIT, după cum o spune și numele lui, este un eveniment care se uită și spre traducerea literară, un domeniu esențial al literaturii. Fără traducători, cărțile nu pot trece granițele lingvistice. Iar traducătorii de literatură română sînt supracalificați: ei sînt și agenți literari pentru autorii pe care îi traduc. Adică vorbesc cu editorii străini despre cărți românești și încearcă să îi convingă să le dea o șansă și să le publice. Am vorbit despre literatura română cu trei dintre traducătorii prezenți la FILIT.Laure Hinckel a venit prima oară în România la începutul anilor 90, ca jurnalistă și fotografă. S-a atașat de București și de limba română și a ajuns să traducă în franceză din opera mai multor autori români, între care: Mircea Cărtărescu, Marin Mălaicu-Hondrari, Simona Sora, Dan Lungu, Lucian Dan Teodorovici, Dora Pavel.Radosława Janowska-Lascar a fost lector de limba polonă la Universitatea „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” din Iași și lector de limba română la Universitatea din Wrocław, Polonia. A tradus în polonă din opera scriitorilor: Filip Florian, Lucian Dan Teodorovici, Cristian Teodorescu, Oleg Serebrian, Florin Irimia, Dan Lungu.James Appleby este poet și traducător, fondator al publicației „Interpret”, dedicată literaturii internaționale. Prima sa carte de poezie, „Spurious Language”, a apărut în 2025. James vorbește spaniolă, franceză, italiană și portugheză și în prezent învață româna. Laure Hinckel: „Eu am catalogul meu de fragmente și de prezentări ale unor autori pe care doresc să-i traduc. De pildă, în catalogul meu am «Tache de catifea» de Ștefan Agopian. Cred că sînt 15 ani de cînd încerc să conving un editor să publice cartea asta. Voi reuși într-o zi, sînt convinsă. Altfel, aș putea vorbi despre Dora Pavel, scriitoarea de la Cluj, care a publicat «Do Not Cross» în limba franceză, în traducerea mea, anul acesta, după ce am propus această carte mulți ani și în fine, am reușit s-o public la editura Marie Barbier.”Cum vi se pare literatura română contemporană?Radosława Janowska-Lascar: „Este un univers în sine, este ceva viu, ceva care se mișcă, se schimbă și evoluează. Și e foarte bine. Mereu avem ocazia noi, cei din afară, să găsim ceva nou, interesant, captivant. Este o literatură în continuă facere. (...) Patru dintre traducerile mele au intrat în finala prestigiosului premiu pentru literatura Central și Est Europeană ANGELUS, un premiu acordat de primăria orașului Wrocław, din Silezia. Pe lîngă premiul propriu-zis, există și un premiu special, al cititorilor. Lucian Dan Teodorovici a primit în 2015 premiul cititorilor pentru romanul «Matei Brunul».”Ca iubitor al literaturii române, ce autori crezi că ar trebui traduși cu prioritate?James Appleby: „Ca unul care citește foarte multă poezie contemporană, cu ea aș începe. Văd atît de multă energie, forță și plăcere de a scrie la poeții de vîrsta mea sau chiar mai tineri decît mine, încît atunci cînd vezi acest spirit de aventură în ceea ce privește limba, bineînțeles că asta îți face mare poftă să traduci.” Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta întreaga discuție!O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei MartinUn produs Radio România Cultural

“Why would a man with a dream life and a booming business empire want to grind it out in a Major League dugout?”In this compelling and insider-packed episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into a surprising twist in the MLB world: the Los Angeles Angels are reportedly eyeing three former players as potential managers—including two Rollertown Beerworks investors and close friends of the show, Michael Young and Torii Hunter.The crew breaks down the buzz around the Angels' managerial vacancy, sparked by a tweet from MLB insider Bob Nightengale. While Michael Young seems unlikely to leave his idyllic SoCal lifestyle, Torii Hunter's name carries real weight—and real intrigue.“Torii Hunter is one of the greatest leaders I've ever seen in my life. He controls a room. Everyone who knows him loves him, respects him, and follows him.” — SkinFrom watching the Rangers clinch the World Series with Torii at Rollertown, to discussing his deep ties with the Angels and his role as honorary chairman of the upcoming Rollertown Open golf tournament, the hosts paint a vivid picture of a man who could absolutely lead a clubhouse—if he's willing to walk away from his already incredible life.

Mesaj pentru moderații sufocați. De ce voi vota duminică (SpotMedia) - Cum mobilizează AUR mașinăria de linșaj împotriva celor care vorbesc despre violul de la școala de vară (PressOne) - Investigație Global Witness: TikTok promovează în România de trei ori mai mult conținut de extremă dreaptă decât alte curente politice (Europa Liberă) Un mesaj pentru susținătorii lui Simion, pentru cei care nu votează și nehotărâți (G4Media)Jurnalistul Dan Tăpălagă scrie "știu ce simțiți. Chiar știu. Înțeleg toată revolta, nemulțumirea și frustrarea. Știu bine de unde vine, am trăit-o și noi, la fel ca voi. Ani la rând am scris aproape degeaba despre corupție, despre jeturi private, despre afaceri murdare, despre democrația cu epoleți, despre politicieni analfabeți sau submediocri puși să conducă țara, despre contraselecția cruntă din partidele mari, despre inversarea valorilor.Din rău în mai rău, de la un președinte la altul, de la o guvernare la alta, exasperarea a crescut... Nemulțumirile s-au transformat treptat în furie. Apoi în ură. Față de toți: clasa politică, presa plătită să tacă, sistemul de putere închis la orice reformă.Și în loc să găsiți o soluție, ați căzut în extrema cealaltă: fie radicalizare totală, fie nepăsare totală. Nici una, nici cealaltă nu ne ajută. Nici pe voi, nici pe noi, nici pe țară.Ce soluții reale v-au pus pe masă, în afară de lozinci, de scandal, de haos? Cum va construi Simon „casele la 35.000 de euro”, cum veți primi de la Georgescu „hrană, apă, energie” când economia pică, leul se prăbușește, investitorii fug, iar fondurile europene sunt tăiate și nu mai are cine să le aducă înapoi?Când a fost statul român un bun administrator? De ce ar fi brusc capabil să gestioneze companii naționalizate, soluția tuturor populiștilor și dictatorilor în devenire?Ce poate aduce bun un guvern condus de Călin Georgescu, omul promovat de propaganda Kremlinului? Legăturile lui cu oamenii Moscovei sunt clare, publice, documentate. Soros, LGBT, vaccinurile, USAID — toate astea sunt petarde. Perdele de fum. Nu țin de foame. Nu plătesc facturile. Nu vă aduc copiii acasă. Nu vă salvează viitorul.”Eliberarea din sclavie”, ”împărțirea resurselor”, ”alungarea ciocoilor”, ”trezirea în conștiință”, ”puterea poporului”, ”suveranitate” sună bine ca lozinci electorale, dar nu înseamnă nimic altceva în afară de marketing electoral.Ei vor puterea. Pentru ei și atât. Și sunt dispuși să sacrifice țara ca să o obțină".Integral pe pagina G4Media.Mesaj pentru moderații sufocați. De ce voi vota duminică (SpotMedia)"Textul se adresează celor care în mod normal nu simt că au niciun motiv electoral să se ducă la vot pe 18 mai și care nu se identifică cu isteria generală.În mod normal. Dar nu suntem în mod normal. Și problema nu este că vom ieși din UE sau NATO. Nu poate să ne scoată un președinte, nu are prerogativele necesare. Ungaria și Slovacia sunt în UE și NATO.Problema este a ajunge sau nu ca Grecia în 2015, adică falimentul economic. Pericolul cel mare este a nu se mai plăti pensii și salarii, a pierde toate economiile din bănci, titlurile de stat, a sta la coadă la bancomate pentru câțiva lei pe zi, devalorizarea istorică a leului".Jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu scrie pe SpotMedia că "unicul obiectiv încă din primul tur, a fost împiedicarea riscului de prăbușire economică a României. Despre asta va fi votul meu de duminică și vă îndemn să meditați dacă nu ar trebui să fie la fel și al dvs".Cum mobilizează AUR mașinăria de linșaj împotriva celor care vorbesc despre violul de la școala de vară (PressOne)PressOne a intrat în posesia unor informații conform cărora, într-un grup privat de WhatsApp, membrii AUR sunt îndemnați să dea „raport maxim” unei postări de pe TikTok în care Andreea Raicu vorbește despre violul fetei de 17 ani de la școala de vară AUR.Mesajul este distribuit în grup de George Stănculescu, membru AUR Ilfov, și fost candidat din partea alianței suveraniste la primăria comunei 1 Decembrie din Ilfov. Totodată, el este și unul dintre administratorii grupului.Un alt administrator este și deputata AUR de Ilfov Gianina Șerban, vicepreședintă AUR și vicepreședintă a Camerei Deputaților. În legislația trecută, parlamentara a fost și vicepreședinta Comisiei de egalitate de șanse pentru femei și bărbați din cadrul Camerei Deputaților.Informațiile ajunse la redacție vin în contextul în care tot mai mulți influenceri reclamă faptul că le-au dispărut clipuri în care vorbeau despre viitorul României și acuză o acțiune coordonată a celor de la AUR.Investigație Global Witness: TikTok promovează în România de trei ori mai mult conținut de extremă dreaptă decât alte curente politice (Europa Liberă)O investigație a organizației Global Witness arată, cu câteva zile înainte de turul II al alegerilor prezidențiale din România, că algoritmul TikTok direcționează utilizatorii din România în proporție de trei ori mai mare către conținut politic de extremă dreaptă decât către alte curente politice, informează Europa Liberă.Studiul a fost realizat între 7 și 8 mai 2025, în București, prin crearea a trei conturi TikTok noi, „politic echilibrate”, care au urmărit în mod egal conturile oficiale ale celor doi candidați finali din cursa prezidențială: George Simion (extrema dreaptă) și Nicușor Dan (centru).Timp de 30 de minute cumulat pe pagina „For You”, TikTok a afișat 65 de postări politice, arată investigația:74% au promovat sau prezentat favorabil viziuni sau persoane asociate cu extrema dreaptă;Doar 26% au fost despre alte curente politice.„Rezultatele au fost profund dezechilibrate. Indiferent de cum am structurat conturile, TikTok ne-a recomandat conținut pro-extremă dreaptă în mod constant și dominant”, a transmis, într-un comunicat de presă, echipa Global Witness, care a realizat investigația.Experimentul a fot repetat de trei ori. Disproporția de aproape 3 la 1 în favoarea conținutului de extremă dreapta a fost constantă în toate cele trei repetări.

Descoperă în acest episod fascinant cum experiențele din copilărie modelează sănătatea noastră mentală și fizică pe termen lung. Alături de Adi Dinu, psiholog și trainer în echipa Mind Architect, analizăm efectele traumatice ale experiențelor adverse din copilărie (ACEs) și cum acestea pot fi contrabalansate de experiențele pozitive (PCEs). Discutăm împreună studii care explorează legătura dintre adversitate și dezvoltarea cerebrală, descoperind cum un mediu de susținere și conectare poate transforma traumele copilăriei în puncte forte ale maturității. Ne uităm în profunzime la importanța relațiilor sănătoase timpurii și a sprijinului comunitar în construirea rezilienței emoționale, oferind perspective actuale despre ce contează cu adevărat în creșterea și dezvoltarea noilor născuți.
