ashtimeSome new similarities between #imperial #USA and #Russia are: both are ruled by #dictators who are #criminals , both have no-entry list for people who defend #democracy in their home countries against #propaganda or #capitalist exploitation, both exhibit hostility to #EU - the project that managed to unite and bring peace to a continent, otherwise well known as the main source of war and misery around the world for the last 600 years.

#Trump’s actions & statements suggest he might be envisioning a world in which each of the 3 so-called great powers—the #UnitedStates, #China & #Russia—dominates its part of the globe, #ForeignPolicy analysts say.
It would be a throwback to a 19th-century style of #imperial rule.
Trump has said he wants to take #Greenland from Denmark, annex #Canada & re-establish American control of the #PanamaCanal.…extend[ing] US dominance in the Western Hemisphere….

Green and more green: the season of new leaves in Japan. At Kyōto Imperial Palace (京都御所) I went into the former residence area of Emperors. Plus, from the northernmost subway station in the city, I walked around Treasure Pond (宝ヶ池公園), where I spotted a shy doe, oh deer!
It was during this season that my haiku in Japanese was published in the national Asahi Haidan, with a circulation of about eight million households at the time:
若葉には 枝に世界が 回るやう (全国版朝日俳壇)
To young leaves
The world seems
To spin on a branch

#Cuauhtemoc crew: how much is the clearance under the bridge?
the coast guard: 127
Cuauhtemoc crew: that is great, our mast is just 49 over water level.
Someone has to abandon the #imperial system and join the rest of the #metric world.
The latest blogpost by veteran UK socialist & anti-Zionist campaigner, Tony Greenstein:
“The Time Has Come for Britain’s Anti-Zionist Jewish Groups to Unite”
“British & Western support for #Zionism is not because of their concern for Jews but because of their own #imperial interests. [..] It is for that reason alone that it is incumbent upon Jews who are not Zionists to say in both words & deed that what Israel does is *not in my name*”

A company I bought shoes from last year offered to send me shoes if I wore and reviewed them, and they arrived today in a Saturday surprise. I had NO idea what they'd look like. They have PLENTY of sole... I was 6'3" before, I'm 6'5" or 6'6" now. 
They look like Imperial shoes on Coruscant in Andor, and they're comfortable so far.

My new idea is to use Roman miles instead of imperial. They’re 1,479 km or thereabouts (it’s an approximation and wasn’t fixed anyway) so i can just round it to 1,5km. Easy to convert to sane measures.
Now i just need to find an imperial measurements user to impress/confound. “Oh, you don’t mean Roman miles? What empire are you referring to?”
Roman miles make more sense than using 996 and 9/16ths Rods or whatever a mile is based on.

Nikko Tamozawa #Imperial Villa constructed for #Emperor Taish? in 1899 with 109 rooms is a former imperial summer #Residence .
There are many (!) wooden beams at approx. 6ft height, so duck if you are taller...

This is what happens every time my partner and I plan a road trip, build furniture, shop for beverages and basically perform any activity that involves measurements.

![The image is a sepia-toned photograph depicting an expansive view of St. Petersburg's Kazansky Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan. This iconic structure features classical architecture with large columns and a prominent dome that stands out against the sky.
In front of the cathedral lies a spacious plaza paved with cobblestones where few individuals can be seen scattered around or walking on footpaths marked by railings. The photograph is taken from an elevated angle, allowing for a comprehensive view across the square to include more than just the church's facade but also other surrounding elements like street lamps and adjacent buildings.
The sky above appears overcast with soft light illuminating the scene without harsh shadows indicative of midday sunlight or direct weather conditions on that particular day. The bottom right corner has handwritten Russian text, likely providing a title or description for this image, which is common in historical prints from Russia during its Imperial period when such photochromographic techniques were prevalent.
The photograph appears to be part of an album collection given the visible print quality and format, suggesting it was produced between ca. 1890-1900 as suggested by external information referenced alongside this image link. The specific location in St. Petersburg is identified through its mention on a Russian inscription at the bottom right corner [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/029/310/126/562/378/original/aab55a9b793165af.jpeg "The image is a sepia-toned photograph depicting an expansive view of St. Petersburg's Kazansky Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan.
