Mount Fuji, Japan’s most iconic natural wonder and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is making headlines for an unfortunate reason: It’s being called “trash mountain.” Once revered for its serenity and symbolism, it is now showing the wear and tear of popularity in the form of discarded bottles, wrappers, and gear littering its trails.

Facebook創辦人馬克祖克柏。（圖／達志／美聯社） 位於美國加州帕羅奧圖（Palo Alto）的Crescent Park社區，長年以寧靜優美、鄰里關係緊密聞名，然而自Meta董事長兼執行長、Facebook創辦人馬克祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg）14年前搬入後，鄰里氛圍大不如前。據《華盛頓郵報》報導，祖克柏至今已斥資逾1.1億美元，透過多家有限責任公司收購至少11棟房產，並曾開價高達1450萬美元購屋，遠超市場行情。 其中5棟房產被改建為祖克柏一家人的大型生活園區，包括主宅、客房、花園、匹克球場與可變成泳池的水下升降地板，並以高大樹籬圍起。另有一棟被用作14名兒童的私立學校，但依當地法規，住宅並不得作為學校用途。園區地下新增約650平方公尺空間，鄰居稱之為「地堡」或「億萬富翁蝙蝠洞」，長達8年的施工造成噪音與交通阻塞。 鄰居投訴，祖克柏在物業周圍架設攝影機、安排私人保全天候駐守，甚至在公共人行道上詢問路人行蹤。部分居民指控市府對祖克柏違規使用及大規模收購行為「睜一隻眼閉一隻眼」。 2016年，帕羅奧圖市建築審查委員會曾否決祖克柏一次性建造大型園區的計畫，但他隨後改以分批施工方式完成，迄今已獲批56項建築許可。多年施工期間，鄰居抱怨車道被堵、輪胎遭建築廢料損毀，甚至後視鏡被施工車輛撞落。鄰居基施尼克告訴媒體：「沒有哪個社區願意被佔領，但他們就是這麼做的。」 雖然祖克柏的團隊偶爾會送給鄰居巧克力、氣泡酒、甜甜圈，甚至隔音耳機作為「噪音補償」，並以電動車取代汽油車降低保全噪音，但他本人鮮少出席社區活動。長住20年的居民佛吉（Peter Forgie）坦言，多次嘗試邀請祖克柏參與鄰里互動都遭婉拒，「我們努力把他拉進社區，但每次都被拒於門外。」 Source link

Forget unlikely celebrity couples—budding fashion-girl friendships are the developments making my heart melt. On August 11, Dakota Johnson secured a spot in Kendall Jenner‘s latest Instagram dump and all but confirmed their new connection. These two run in the same The Row-loving circles, but they’ve never been publicly photographed together—not even at the Met Gala….

I live in a small, cramped apartment in a big city. For each item I bring into my house, I feel like I need to throw something out to keep clutter from piling up. In some ways, my battle with my MacBook’s limited screen real estate mirrors my space issues at home. As a tech…
