The Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows (Capilla de Nuestra Señora de las Nieves) is the southern-most worship site, let alone southern-most Catholic Church, in the world and is one of 8 churches in Antarctica. It’s carved into a permanent glacier in Argentina’s Belgrano II Base, serving the year-round population of 12 researchers.

All things will fade, maybe it's better off that way; I wish you'd stay with me.

School district book bans have been getting a lot of attention lately, but this article focuses on censorship of web media in American public schools. Schools are censoring access to a massive array of information, and not just things deemed "sexually explicit."

Outer Wilds is a good game.

To be reductive, the skill of the level design is part of what makes it so effective.

Each planet is modeled after a philosophical quandary of the universe.

Hourglass Twins - The weight (and shortness) of time

Lumber Heart - The importance (and insignificance) of connections

Brittle Hollow - The delicateness precision (and frailty) of structure

Giant’s Deep - The logic (and confusion) of planetary systems

Dark Bramble - The life (and terror) of other creatures

The Interloper - The sudden cruelty (and beauty) of entropy

The Quantum Moon - The mystery (and wonder) of our universe

It's actually crazy talking to friends and relatives about what's going on because very few of them know that this is a retaliatory attack. I keep seeing people online call the attack unprovoked too.

So those who don't know, on April 1st Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus. The attack killed 7 of Iran’s military advisers including 3 senior commanders.

Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.

Iran's ambassador to Syria said the strike hit a consular building in the embassy compound and that his residence was on the top two floors. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.

This attack on the embassy is against international law. Embassies are protected sites. But instead of condemning the attack and putting pressure on Israel, the US has spent the past week and a half calling West Asian countries to put pressure on Iran, with Biden going as far as to warn Iran not to attack Israel and saying that his support for Israel is 'iron clad'.

The West, the UN, and UN Security Council have largely failed to condemn the attack which means Iran has no choice but to retaliate with force in order to prevent future attacks. Otherwise, the country will look vulnerable and weak, especially to the Israeli occupation government which has spent months bombing neighbouring countries like Syria and Lebanon

No medical confirmation or psychological evaluation necessary. The law will be active by the 1st of November this year.

First names can also be changed while changing gender. One all inclusive package with minimum effort.

oh! the reason the 'if' is so small is because nicole brown simpson's family won a civil suit against oj and he was ruled liable for her death in civil court. they got the publishing rights to his book and the ability to decide the cover, so they chose that intentionally in order to highlight that he killed her

huh, i didnt know that!

honestly just doing it as a "tongue-in-cheek" "goof" on OJ's part would've been pretty in line with the mentality of writing the book at all. and like. everything else he did surrounding everything.

the cass review into gender care on the NHS is depressing in many ways, but one of the most nonsensical aspects of it is how they’ve chosen to define a child as anyone under 25:

so you can vote, join the military, pay taxes, get married, have children, attend - and finish - university but you’re still not a mature adult capable of making life-changing decisions
