A quotation from Thomas More

   Will thou know what wonders strange be in the land that late was found?
   Will thou learn thy life to lead, by divers ways that godly be?
   Will thou of virtue and vice understand the very ground?
   Will thou see this wretched world, how full it is of vanity?
 
[Vis nova monstra, novo dudum nunc orbe reperto?
   Vivendi varia uis ratione modos?
Vis qui virtutum fontes, vis unde malorum
   Principia? et quantum rebus inane latet?]

Thomas More (1478-1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
Utopia, “A Meter of Four Verses in the Utopian Tongue,” “Cornelius Graphey to the Reader” (1516 ed.) [tr. Open Utopia (Duncombe) (2012)]

I am hearing lots of #foreigners #business owners and other #professionals are leaving #Japan. Some are even selling their homes at a loss because they don't see a future due to the change in government and rhetoric. I predict real estate values will go down, especially outside of the core center of Osaka and Tokyo.

The Japanese government also feels that #AI and #robots can solve any labour issues, but how about capital flight and less foreign investment?

‘Poor’ foreigners not welcome? Japan bets on AI while upping visa fee

Introducing my latest character—the Infant Prince, Zora Drakori!

The ABDL life is what Zora chose and he lives it openly and proudly. By now, most people in the kingdom don’t mind that he wears nappies and shits himself like a baby.

So far, I only have one reference image of Zora, which I threw together in five minutes in this online character creator: https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/1561797/. The reference image, along with some other info on Zora, can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/vk4nasJ
