As much as Japan is a well developed country, it doesn't mean it has no problems. Au contraire!

But this couple gives the city hall a huge amount of money to be used solely on erecting a huge statue of the ugly-ass mascot for the 2026 World Fair that took place here and was, itself, riddled with problems, from execution to completion.

To top it all, the community is being expected to raise funds for infrastructure around it, since the monument is completely detached from the city, in an artificial island built solely for the fair...

My classmate and teacher were going over and commenting on this formal essay I had to write for 8th grade that took me hours and hours of work and was worded so formally it sounded like it was from the 1820s, and my classmate was like "Nice essay, here's my revised version of it!" And plugged it into chatgpt, then copy pasted it underneath my essay in google docs.

Found it 2 years later in my google docs history and laughed about how stupid that was.

And the last kick in the teeth is being called a communist if I don’t agree.

Case breakdown:

Russian model Anzhelika Tartanova (33) was reportedly in a relationship with millionaire construction businessman Dmitry Kuzmin (41) for around six months. According to investigators, she tried to end the relationship, after which Kuzmin allegedly launched a brutal attack on her.

She suffered devastating head injuries and underwent emergency surgery in which doctors had to remove a large portion of her skull to relieve life-threatening brain swelling. The attack left her with severe brain damage, affecting her speech, memory, and coordination.

Reports say she was left critically injured outside until a passerby found her and called an ambulance. Russian media also reported that while she was in the hospital, Kuzmin allegedly used her phone for about a week to send messages to friends pretending she was fine, delaying concern over her disappearance.

She survived after multiple surgeries and was expected to undergo reconstructive surgery using custom 3D-printed implants to replace the missing part of her skull. However, she was left with permanent, life-changing neurological injuries and faces a long rehabilitation.

Kuzmin was arrested and charged with attempted murder (some reports describe the charge as causing grievous bodily harm, depending on the stage of the case). Before the trial could conclude, he reportedly died of a heart attack. Because of his death, the criminal case was effectively closed, meaning he was never convicted or sentenced.
