T Nation | Elite Wisdom: "Here's what you need to know... • Stressed? Overwhelmed? Take it out on the iron. • Set goals, but be very careful who you share them with.

Khal Drogo is Aquaman.  What Jason Momoa Will Be Mad About When He Shows Up As Aquaman In The DC Movieverse - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors: "More interesting, however, isn’t that Momoa is in, it’s how the character has been conceived. From Drew’s story: Someone else who’s not particularly happy about what happened in that film [Man of Steel] is Aquaman. I’m not sure if that’s the actual name they’ll use or not, but what we’re hearing is that he is not pleased about the World Engine and what it did to the Indian Ocean. He will not have a major role in the film, but he will make an appearance, and it definitely sets him up to return."

Japan, unfuck yourself.  Get ready to dance in the streets–Japan to revise anti-dance laws! (Maybe) : Japan Subculture Research Center: "The Japanese government will submit a bill to revise the controversial laws regulating dance clubs this fall in a special Diet session, the Mainichi Shimbun reported. National Public Safety Commission Chair Keiji Furuya told reporters after a Cabinet meeting that the government will soon establish a group of experts at the National Police Agency to discuss the issue. Furuya said that the proposed revisions to the current Entertainment Business Law will reflect the recommendations submitted by a government committee which asked the government to relax the laws. In Japan it’s technically illegal to dance past midnight or 1 A.M. at an establishment that serves alcohol under an outdated law called the Law on Control and Improvement of Amusement Business. The law requires businesses who wish to operate as nightclubs to register and forbids the establishment of clubs that have “dancing which results in the disruption of public sexual morality.”

...In April the dance laws were challenged when an Osaka court acquitted Masatoshi Kanemitsu, the owner of a nightclub called NOON, of charges of “corrupting sexual morals” and violating adult entertainment laws. Kanemitsu’s lawyer, Kenichi Nishikawa, told the Daily Beast: “It was a victory for common sense and freedom to dance. It is historic and significant, and while not finding the current laws unconstitutional, the courts ruled both that the police were too broadly interpreting the laws and that dance in and of itself is not a corruptor of public morals. Nor does it make people throw off their clothes.”"
