Headline news for October 27, 2025

McDonald's announced that it will phase out paper straws starting November 19, 2025, replacing them with strawless lids made from recycled PET. The strawless lid took over three years to develop, achieving both ease of opening and leak-proofing during takeout. The design also prevents carbon dioxide from escaping during delivery of carbonated drinks.

I received a request from somewhere saying, 'Um... any photo of someone other than butterbur. Something scholarly looking.' What do they want to protect by denying butterbur? Conversely, what do I want to protect by affirming butterbur? I'll think about this during the long autumn nights. https://t.co/4cJgD7qFko

When I was about to go to the toilet, there was a high school student sitting in front of the toilet and in front of the door tapping on his smartphone, so when I asked if he could let me through, he gave me a snide grumble like 'What's up with this guy?' and in the end he didn't move, which made me cry 🤓

Shueisha released a comment regarding the controversy surrounding the novel 'Purity of Blue,' but the content was questioned as 'literary discourse' - Togetter

News – Yuki Harada

To reiterate, here are my thoughts on this matter:

1. 'Purity of Blue' seems to have been written with Mr. Lassen in mind.
2. There is almost no previous research on Mr. Lassen other than my own work.
3. There are many similarities between my book and 'Purity of Blue.'

On the way back from the studio

A police officer called out to me, asking if I had seen a dog around here.

I didn't see it, but I said I would call the police station if I saw it, asked about the breed of dog, and then headed home again.

Then, I saw a figure walking towards me with a dog, though it wasn't holding a leash.

Hmm, I thought.

I asked him if that was his dog...

(While I was busy with my 3 year old and 1 year old
It's almost the end of October...

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the anime 'BLACK CAT'!

At the time, the question was how to fit the 20 volumes of the original work into two seasons.
(There was no trend to make episodes with a second season in mind, as there is now.)
