      I learned about him fairly recently too. The end of his life struck me as brutal.

        My understanding is that no one actually knows what happened to him in the end.

          I mean how everyone began to treat him in the absence of the emperor. I don’t know, maybe I’m just used to Japan being an innately ethnically warm culture.

      “Yclept moon, I punish you” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

      TIL anyone thought the adoption of agriculture was a bad thing.

      Might as well see book ads soon saying “coming soon to your bookshelf, learn why the sun is actually humanity’s arch nemesis.”
