Thuma Dupes: Japanese Joinery Bed Frames That Stack Up (2025)

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-10-03 13:36:00

I’m a longtime fan of DreamCloud mattresses, so it came as no surprise that the brand’s Japanese joinery bed frame is an excellent product. Just like the mattress, numerous thoughtful details in this frame made it immediately stand out, so much so that I will be keeping it around for long-term testing to try with a larger variety of beds. DreamCloud made the setup of this frame seamlessly idiot-proof (@me). Each piece is labeled, and when it comes time to actually put it all together, take a ga

A Queasy Selling of the Family Heirlooms

news.ycombinator.com Jeannette Cooperman Holds A Degree In Philosophy 2025-10-04 00:55:31

The gentleman is kindly, matter-of-fact. He is not scared of a dead mother’s lightning bolts. I stand on the other side of the glass cabinet, shifting my weight from one foot to the other, nervous as a thief at a pawn shop. Not because I stole this sterling and silverplate, but because I inherited it. As a sacred trust, glowing with aspirations to fineness. My Irish great-grandmother paid for her passage to America by working as a maid for a wealthy family, and she memorized their lace-curtain

Playing Viking Chess with Whale Bones

news.ycombinator.com Hakai Magazine 2025-10-05 21:30:24

Article body copy In central and eastern Sweden from 550 to 793 CE, just before the Viking Age, members of the Vendel culture were known for their fondness for boat burials, their wars, and their deep abiding love of hnefatafl. Also known as Viking chess, hnefatafl is a board game in which a centrally located king is attacked from all sides. The game wasn’t exclusive to the Vendels—people across northern Europe faced off over the gridded board from at least 400 BCE until the 18th century. But

1,000-Year-Old Viking Object Reveals How They Likely Styled Their Hair

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-11 13:50:05

Hair parted in the middle, cropped at the back, with a wavy lock styled above one ear. That’s not my haircut of choice, but if you were an elite Viking, it may well have been. That’s the upshot of a study published last month in the journal Medieval Archaeology in which researchers re-examined a roughly one-inch-tall (three centimeters) Viking gaming piece that dates back more than 1,000 years. It was originally discovered among the burial things of a presumed Viking warrior in Norway in 1797 a

The live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece wasn’t just good, it was good in a way that took everyone by surprise. With the numbers to show for it, it’s no wonder Netflix gave it a second season, which is dropping next year.

In many ways Arvo Pärt and John Williams’s music couldn’t be further apart. One celebrates simplicity, purity, and draws much of its inspiration from sacred texts; the other captures strong emotions in sweeping orchestral scores. And yet the two men are today’s most performed contemporary composers. Bachtrack’s annual survey of classical music performed across the world placed Pärt second (John Williams is in the top spot) in 2023 and 2024. In 2022, Pärt was first, Williams second.
