Hundreds of life-sized scarecrows now outnumber the few remaining residents in a Japanese mountain village where no baby has been born for more than 20 years. Nagoro sits in the mountains of Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku Island, about a two-hour drive from Tokushima City. Fields, bus stops, gardens, and an empty primary school are filled with posed dolls dressed as farmers, mothers, elderly riders waiting for a bus, children, and cyclists. The human population has dwindled to roughly 30 people. The dolls run into the hundreds. Local resident Tsukimi Ayano started the unusual project some 30 years ago. She made a scarecrow from her father’s clothes for her field. When people mistook it for a real person, she began crafting more…Open

How has the village of Nagoro changed in terms of tourism and recognition since the scarecrows were introduced?
The town has become a destination for visitors from across the country and abroad, earning the name "Scarecrow Village." It has received over a thousand Google reviews and was even visited by former Top Gear host James May while filming "James May: Our Man in Japan." Tourism Shikoku maintains a basic scarecrow register that logs each figure’s name, personality, and story.
Q&A ID 694b5f7d-cbde-47dd-a2bb-d9d709e8777f
What demographic trend in Japan has led to the situation in Nagoro where no baby has been born in over 20 years?
The situation is a result of rural Japan emptying as cities pull the young population away, combined with birthrates that are too low to replace the elderly population. Japan's national population peaked near 128 million in 2010 and is projected to fall sharply, with over 10,000 towns and villages across the country facing depopulation.
Q&A ID b2c65909-7a56-442d-bcba-5a2e18343c54
What specific locations within the village of Nagoro are filled with life-sized scarecrows?
The scarecrows are located throughout the village in various settings, including fields, bus stops, gardens, and an empty primary school where dolls now sit at the desks where children once learned.
Q&A ID 463cca9b-0e8c-462a-9b8b-07ae4363b4cd
Who started the scarecrow project in Nagoro and what was the original motivation behind it?
Local resident Tsukimi Ayano started the project approximately 30 years ago. She initially made a scarecrow out of her father’s clothes for her field; after people mistook the figure for a real person, she began crafting more realistic figures. She eventually stated that the figures were a way to bring back memories of neighbors who had died or moved away.

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - NASA greenlights probe of moon pit that may hide astronaut shelter

NASA has selected a project to investigate a football-field-sized hole on the moon that may open into a cavern able to shield future astronauts from harsh radiation and temperature swings.

NASA has selected a project to investigate a football-field-sized hole on the moon that may open into a cavern able to shield future astronauts from harsh radiation and temperature swings. The space agency tapped the Planetary Science Institute to lead the Geophysical Instruments for Marius Lunar Pit Investigation, known as GIMLI, after the team announced the project on Monday. The target is the Marius Hills Pit, an opening in one of the moon’s most volcanically varied regions that Japan’s SELENE spacecraft first spotted in 2009. Daily Mail reporting describes an opening roughly the size of an American football field and about as deep as a 10-story building. Scientists want to know whether it leads to a lava tube or larger underground…Open

How does the GIMLI investigation relate to the upcoming Artemis IV mission timeline?
While the GIMLI project is currently focused on mapping the pit, the Artemis IV mission is planned for 2028. This mission intends to send two astronauts to the lunar South Pole for about a week of science. Identifying a verified lava tube at Marius Hills would provide a practical architecture for turning short visits into workable, long-term outposts.
Q&A ID 7073d551-20e9-4750-b97d-0de518315fa3
What is the history of the Marius Hills Pit, and why was it chosen for this specific investigation?
The pit was first spotted in 2009 by Japan’s SELENE spacecraft. It was selected because it is located in one of the moon's most volcanically varied regions. Its walls expose layers of regolith and old lava flows, providing a natural cutaway into the moon’s volcanic past while researchers hunt for usable shelter.
Q&A ID d985444d-9e4d-46e6-96e4-d4272c1aee45
What are the specific hazards on the lunar surface that make finding a cave or lava tube important for future human exploration?
Radiation on the lunar surface is significantly higher than in low Earth orbit, running roughly 2.6 times higher than on the International Space Station and about 200 times higher than on Earth. Additionally, the moon lacks a magnetic shield. Finding a cavern would provide a way for crews to live and work under rock rather than having to haul all their shielding materials from Earth.
Q&A ID 047c761e-fc8e-4ffb-ac31-805de0fc76d5
Which organization was tapped by NASA to lead the GIMLI investigation, and what specific instruments will they use to map the subsurface?
NASA tapped the Planetary Science Institute to lead the project. The team will use a combination of ground-penetrating radar, seismic sensors, and a device that measures the local gravitational field to map what sits below the rim of the pit. This marks a return to intentional active-source seismic methods on the moon, which have not been used since the Apollo missions.

Glen Powell is sitting out politics because he hates the discourse, and he blames Paramount’s marketing layoffs for “The Running Man” box-office flop. The “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Chad Powers” star used an Esquire magazine cover interview to draw a hard line on campaign chatter and culture-war sparring. He said the talk divides people, and he wants no part of it on the press circuit. Variety reported his remarks alongside a blunt box-office autopsy: Powell tied the weak run of Edgar Wright’s fall 2025 tentpole “The Running Man” to Paramount Pictures dumping its marketing team right before the film opened amid a merger. Hollywood has spent years treating red-carpet interviews like town halls. Powell is joining a short…Open

Which other high-profile celebrities have recently expressed similar sentiments regarding the fatigue of celebrity political involvement?
The article notes that Glen Powell is joining a short list of big names who have walked back from the celebrity-as-pundit model. This includes Dwayne Johnson, who used an Esquire sit-down to say he would no longer speak publicly about politics and expressed regret over a 2020 endorsement of Joe Biden that split his fan base. It also includes Jennifer Lawrence, who questioned the point of celebrity political endorsements in a New York Times interview, stating she does not want to "add fuel to a fire that’s ripping the country apart" or turn people off to art.
Q&A ID fec8ee72-84c5-4a4e-b173-acbfcf2d07d5
How did Glen Powell describe the production of the film "How to Make a Killing" and its financial results?
Powell looked back at A24’s "How to Make a Killing," which took in $21 million worldwide, as an example of a project that did not have enough "room to breathe." He noted that there was not enough time to do the project properly and used it as an example of why "there’s no rush," highlighting a pattern of hurried production and broken launch machinery leading to lower grosses.
Q&A ID 02a6882e-74a5-4e29-ad4c-10bd16312a46
What specific reasons did Glen Powell give for the box-office failure of the film "The Running Man"?
Glen Powell attributed the weak run of Edgar Wright’s "The Running Man" to corporate decisions at Paramount Pictures rather than audience taste. He stated that Paramount dumped its marketing team and conducted mass layoffs in late October 2025, just one month before the film opened. He argued that the studio "emptied the shop" that was supposed to sell the movie in the middle of a merger, which he claimed led to the film finishing under $70 million worldwide against a production budget in the $110 million range.
Q&A ID 7955acdb-7bf5-4a09-b944-0784537e8671
Why did actor Glen Powell decide to stop engaging in political discourse during press appearances?
Glen Powell stated in an Esquire magazine cover interview that he is shunning political talk because he finds the current discourse to be "the worst version of a conversation." He noted that politics divides people and the current environment is not as healthy as it once was. While he applauds those who fight for their beliefs, he stated that his calling is elsewhere and he does not want to participate in "culture-war sparring" or "campaign chatter" that treats red-carpet interviews like town halls.

How did the conflict between Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere begin prior to their 1990s dinner party altercation?
The two actors had a prior feud on the set of the film "Lords of Flatbush" roughly two decades before the "Lion King" era. According to Stallone’s memoir "The Steps," the working relationship was so strained that it was clear to everyone that "one of [them] had to go." During an audition, Stallone reported that Gere's nails dug into his skin, which Stallone claimed "stirred the emotional cauldron" inside him. The friction was further exacerbated by a chicken-grease spill, eventually leading to Gere being replaced by Perry King.

Digital forensics expert Andrew Garrett, hired by attorney Benjamin Crump, concluded that no one accessed Wells' phone between 2:18 p.m. on July 4 (when it was last unlocked) and 3:14 a.m. on July 5 (when the parents gained access). Additionally, Garrett noted that Snapchat messages can be remotely deleted by a sender, which undercuts the claim that the local friends physically tampered with the device to delete messages.
