For some reason, their website doesn't have an image of the stone, so here is one.

😇👋A MONTH OF NO GODS🧳⛩️

There is a quaint belief that in the 10th month the gods of Japan congregate for a great gathering to discuss matchmaking at Izumo-taisha (出雲大社) in Shimane Prefecture.

Only hard-of-hearing Ebisu and the Sun Goddess miss this annual pilgrimage.

Further reading:

In the tenth month of the traditional lunar calendar, a festival is held to welcome all the gods to Izumo Grand Shrine. It is believed that the gods convene at Izumo Shrine in October to discuss the coming year's marriages, deaths, and births. For this reason, people around the Izumo area call October kamiarizuki ("the month with gods"), but the rest of Japan calls October Kannazuki ("the month without gods").

@camelliakyoto is a great account to follow on Mastodon for historical Japanese culture.

According to Abba: The Official Photo Book, published to mark 40 years since they won Eurovision with Waterloo, the band's style was influenced in part by laws that allowed the cost of outfits to be deducted against tax – so long as the costumes were so outrageous they could not possibly be worn on the street.

In America (and elsewhere?) we have a tradition of trick-or-treating where on Halloween or the night before kids go around the neighborhood in a costume, knock on doors, and get candy. It's a lot of fun.

But I was well into adulthood before I learned that not all places have kids tell jokes before they get candy. Apparently it's only the city I grew up in that they do that! Not even neighboring cities do it.

At the end of the article, there's this interesting fact:

King Edward VII invented his own timezone for the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk, in 1901 to squeeze in half-an-hour more hunting time each day

The guy at the register where we paid was wearing a Superman T-shirt.

$35 to dress like a person who's a really big fan of Spirit Halloween, but does not work there.

The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

And yes, I'm also shocked and saddened that there is a Caillou fandom site.

As a result, bill trackers report the new KOSA title ("KOSPA") but use the old summary on the paper-shuffling bill. (e.g. see https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/2073)

(This is not about the merits of KOSA; this is about the merits of taking a young kid (bill)'s dreams and aspirations, shutting it in the closet grinder, and replacing poor old billy with his cousin−n-times−removed.)

What's more infuriating is that no major news outlets report that KOSA was passed as KOSPA.

Bypass paywall: https://archive.is/TGhgE

Although Olsen says CBS was reluctant to cast her in the first place, she also claims that talks had continued for about a year when she had a phone call with the revival’s showrunner, its producer, and the son of Sherwood Schwartz, who created the original Brady Bunch. On the podcast, Olsen referred to the exchange with the three execs as “the Inquisition,” and said they asked her questions about her political views. Olsen said that the trio had “drank every drop of the Kool-Aid” and maintained that “by now, we know that the vaccine was not safe or effective.” (VF has reached out to a representative for Lloyd Schwartz for comment.) A source close to the project says that the issue with casting Olsen was not due to her support for Donald Trump, but rather her “controversial comments and hate speech, which she has noted she still stands by.”

According to Olsen, the revival was going to thrust the Brady family into the modern era. One of Jan’s children was going to be trans, and one of the Bradys was going to have a Black spouse. This, perhaps unsurprisingly, did not sit right with Olsen. “To that I was like, Come on, let’s not be so obvious,” said Olsen. “Let’s make this Black spouse somebody who has a really close relationship with another Brady, and that’s how this Brady met them. Give them a foundation so this isn’t a token position.”

This isn’t the first time Olsen has allegedly lost a gig due to her conservative views. Olsen was fired from LA Talk Radio’s Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics after using anti-LGBTQ language in 2016.

I've been on a 'cover songs' kick lately. I've heard some great and some weird stuff.

Now virtually every cover of Sugar, Sugar by The Archies is better than the original (there's a version by The Germs that is god-awful, but that is to be expected from them). I realize that isn't difficult. Still, how did it end up being a reggae and soul standard? With big names. And most of them are pretty damn good too. They took this bubblegum pop song and turned it into good music.

Reggae:

Bob Marley and the Wailers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jOmB6kr4rM

The Silvertones - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpYARcahrio

Big Youth and Junior Byles - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur63nrIib1M

Ken Lazarus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXrWktzTACQ

(This Ken Lazarus one isn't all that great, still better than the original.)

Soul:

Ike & Tina Turner - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNdVyeiJJuA

Wilson Pickett - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrZluYnMJUY

Gladys Night and the Pips - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8OGG1FGpF4

Tom Jones - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCh_zQfhyfw

And while I'm listing covers of that song, here's a few more for you...

Psychedelic rock version:

Jonathan King - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAWkntVyoDI

(I think psychedelics were heavily involved in the recording too.)

Neil Sedaka gave it the Sedaka touch with an almost big band feel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv8RQDHoawA

Chet Baker did a jazz version- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtYr69OfPvg

No idea what to think of this one. A Santana-esque group called El Chicano - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_uenTn7cps

And finally, and I can't tell you why, a young Kurt Russell recorded a very vanilla version which is only worth listening to for the sake of curiosity.
