Volunteers Move 360-Ton Hirosaki Castle Keep Back to Its Original Base

Around 1,800 volunteers in Aomori, Japan, used ropes and rollers to drag a 360-tonne Hirosaki Castle keep about 2 meters toward its original base as part of ongoing preservation. The move, using the hikiya technique on rails, followed a wall restoration completed in 2024; the effort drew thousands of applicants from across Japan and overseas. The relocation will continue through August (about 4,100 people expected to move the total 5 meters), with machinery handling the remaining 73 meters by year-end, after which the keep is slated to reopen to visitors in 2033.

Salina dog bite scare ends with vaccination proof

A Salina couple who were bitten by a dog during a Friday morning walk received help from local media in locating the dog’s owner. Neighbors identified the owner, and a veterinarian certificate confirmed the dog was up to date on rabies vaccinations, meaning the victim won’t need post‑exposure shots. The Thompsons thanked those who provided information and the community for helping resolve the situation.

Mira Thing Revives Spotify's Abandoned Car Thing via Community Firmware

After Spotify pulled the plug on Car Thing, a community firmware project called Mira resurrects the hardware, letting users control Spotify from their car again. Setup requires USB-C tethering to a PC or phone and Bluetooth pairing; Mira Thing 1.0 restores features like podcasts, lyrics, source options, and multiple control modes, though two issues—Bluetooth auto-reconnect and wake-from-sleep reliability—persist. The GitHub guide is thorough, and the revival underscores a growing trend of reviving abandoned devices rather than discarding them.

Spokane Reels After Weekend Wildfires Leave Hundreds of Homes Destroyed

Spokane is reeling from three weekend wildfires—Old Trails, Autumn Lane, and Fairview—that have leveled hundreds of homes and burned thousands of acres.

No deaths have been reported, and authorities warn recovery will be gradual while federal aid is processed.

Utah podcaster's cancer fight sparks $400K fundraiser and pledge to pay it forward

Utah-based podcaster Ben Wilson, host of the history-focused show How to Take Over the World, was diagnosed with stage 4 high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma after fatigue and abdominal pain. A GoFundMe fundraiser raised nearly $400,000 in days to cover medical and family expenses, and Wilson says he wants to give back by directing donations to Huntsman Cancer Institute to help all cancer patients. Despite a grim prognosis of about a year to live, he continues recording when possible, viewing the podcast as therapy while his family navigates chemotherapy and tumor treatment across multiple organs.

Raising Kids in the Smartphone Era: A Community's Plan for Healthy Tech Habits

Raising Kids in the Smartphone Era: A Community's Plan for Healthy Tech Habits

A Miami-based Lubavitch Educational Center initiative shares guidance for parenting in the smartphone age, framing technology as a tool to be used mindfully rather than a force that controls behavior. The piece outlines practical steps: limit screen time and keep devices out of bedrooms and mealtimes, use dedicated family phones and screen-free audio or reading devices, apply filters (e.g., Google Family Link, Circle, etc.), and consider managed iPhones with restricted apps. It promotes phone alternatives and emphasizes presence and public-space screens, guided by Rebbe teachings that kedusha should drive technology use. The article highlights MUST (Mothers Unite to Stall Technology) and The Club—programs to keep students smartphone-free or on tight access—and invites other schools to replicate the model. With 175+ participants, the program’s impact grows, including stories of students choosing to stay off smartphones amid peer pressure.
