One road. Two breathtaking landscapes. In East China's #Jiangxi# province, the Dahuchi section of the Yongwu Highway offers two stunning views. Each summer, rising waters from Poyang Lake transform it into a surreal "floating highway". As the water recedes, it reemerges as a scenic road winding through vast wetlands. #ChinaTravel#

Every single household will want a Tesla Optimus Robot. • It can do all your chores for you, like laundry, dishes, yard work, taking out the trash, etc. The list is endless. • It will be amazing for elderly people who want or need primary care 24/7. It will help with medication, mobility assistance, and even provide companionship. • I can see it being very useful for security purposes.

This will be the most important product ever created.

There's no freeze on property tax. There's no freeze on the wages paid to landscapers, plumbers, electricians, drywallers, flooring installers. There's no freeze on the cost of lumber, copper, baseboard, quarter rounds, flashing, siding, window treatments. There's no freeze on the wages paid to janitors or porters. There's no freeze on utilities -- on electric, gas, water, sewer (building-paid utilities in hallways, lobbies, maintenance corridors; most buildings pay water and sewer for tenants). There are currently 57,421 units sitting vacant in NYC because it's more cost-effective to leave them empty than it is to rent them out. If you're wondering: "How that could be possible? Wouldn't making anything be better than making nothing?" -- the answer is no, because of the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act. The HSTPA mandated a certain level of renovation for a vacant unit, but did not allow landlords to raise the rent enough to be able to recoup those costs. If a long-term tenant moves out after decades, the apartment often requires $50,000 to $100,000 in lead abatement, new wiring, plumbing, and structural renovations. Because the law heavily restricts how much of that cost can be passed to the next tenant. The HSPTA eliminated the "vacancy bonus" (which allowed automatic 20% rent increases when a tenant left) and heavily capped Individual Apartment Improvements (IAIs). This means landlords who want a renovation loan would be rejected by a bank, because the landlord would not be able to show that they could repay that loan. Landlords who pay out-of-pocket would end up losing money, underperforming even what they could get by putting their money in a U.S. Treasury or gov't bond. Therefore, it's more cost-effective to just leave the unit vacant. That's why we have 57,421 vacant units across New York right now. That number is about to get much worse.

History of the Conquest of Mexico, with a Preliminary View of the Ancient Mexican Civilization, and the Life of the Conqueror, Hernando Cortés William H. Prescott (1843; 1891 David McKay edition), Volume II If Volume I introduced readers to the astonishing world of ancient Mexico, Volume II is where the conquest becomes a full-blown collision of civilizations, religions, and empires. Prescott follows Hernán Cortés and his small Spanish force as they march ever deeper into the Mexican interior, accompanied by thousands of indigenous allies and guided by the indispensable interpreter Doña Marina. Every step takes them closer to the heart of an empire ruled by Montezuma II, a monarch increasingly haunted by omens, prophecies, and uncertainty about the strangers advancing toward his capital. What many people never learn is that Prescott does not describe the Mexica merely as warriors. He presents a civilization with laws, courts, schools, merchants, engineers, astronomers, poets, priests, and one of the most impressive cities ever seen in the Americas. Yet woven through every part of society was a powerful religious system centered on gods such as Huitzilopochtli, Tezcatlipoca, and the mysterious feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl. Prescott describes vast temple complexes, an organized priesthood, sacred calendars, fasting, rituals, and ceremonies that governed daily life. The most shocking event of the volume is the infamous Cholula massacre. According to the accounts Prescott follows, Cortés became convinced that a conspiracy had been laid against his army. At a signal, Spanish troops and their Tlaxcalan allies fell upon the city. Panic erupted. Nobles, warriors, and civilians were cut down as buildings burned and the streets filled with the dead. Prescott treats the episode as one of the darkest and most controversial moments of the conquest, a bloodbath whose memory would echo throughout Mexico. The march then continues into the mountains. The Spaniards climb toward the great volcanoes overlooking the Valley of Mexico, enduring cold, altitude, and dangerous terrain before reaching one of the most celebrated moments in conquest literature. Below them lay a breathtaking landscape of lakes, cultivated fields, towns, floating gardens, and, in the distance, the gleaming island city of Tenochtitlan. Nothing prepares them for the capital itself. Crossing the great causeways over the lake, they enter a city that left even hardened conquistadors astonished. Prescott describes broad avenues, canals crowded with traffic, markets overflowing with goods, palaces, gardens, temples, and a population numbering in the hundreds of thousands. At the center of it all stood Montezuma II. Prescott portrays him not as a fool, but as an intelligent and experienced ruler trapped between political reality and spiritual fear. Reports of strange omens, prophecies, and traditions concerning the possible return of Quetzalcoatl weighed heavily on his mind. Whether those traditions truly influenced his decisions remains debated, but Prescott believed they were a crucial part of the emperor’s hesitation. One of the most fascinating aspects of Volume II is that both sides believed they were acting within a divine drama. The Spaniards saw themselves as soldiers of Christianity carrying the Cross into a pagan empire. The Mexica interpreted events through their own sacred traditions, priests, prophecies, and gods. Neither side fully understood the other, yet both believed history and heaven were on their side. This is a clash between two sophisticated worlds, each possessing remarkable achievements, deep religious convictions, extraordinary courage, and terrifying capacities for violence. Volume II is the calm before the storm the tense, unforgettable march from Cholula to Tenochtitlan, where wonder, fear, prophecy, diplomacy, faith, and bloodshed converge before the empire’s fate is decided.

Language is one of humanity’s greatest inventions. There are countless languages in the world, each with its own way of expressing beauty, emotion, and meaning. To me, Japanese is among the most beautiful. It can describe a scent, capture a sound, paint a landscape, and convey emotions that are difficult to put into words. A few characters can evoke an entire season. A single sentence can create a vivid scene in the reader’s mind. That’s why it feels like a waste not to fully embrace the power of language on a platform like X, where every word matters. Literature enriches life. The more words we know, the more deeply we understand the world. And the more deeply we understand the world, the richer our lives become.
