Thinking again about how the names Arctic and Antarctica just means "bears" and "no bears."

So as an Antarctic expert I need to add to this that we had not in fact been to Antarctica when it was named. The ancient Greeks decided that because there was an Arctic at the top of the world, with bears, there had to be an opposite at the other end, without bears. Which is kind of ridiculous except that the fuckers were dead on

If you are visiting glorious Brighton on this sunny day (as you definitely should), please be aware that at Churchill Square this van is live scanning everyone’s faces and making the city look more like a police state than the gorgeous day out it is!

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

You're absolutely rightβ€”that was not a command post, that was an elementary school. Those were not military leadersβ€”they were schoolchildren. I said the opposite, and that's on me.

As if there isn't enough going on in the world, I've been blogging again. Or maybe it's an essay, I'm never quite sure of the difference

Minab school bombing: how the worst mass casualty event of the Iran war unfolded – a visual guide A strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh school during the US-Israeli bombing campaign killed up to 168 people. The Guardian has pieced together the incident and its aftermath using verified footage and images from the site Above the pastel murals of trees, paintbrushes, crayons and microscopes, black smoke rises. The glass windows of the school have been blown out by the force of the blast, and its curtains hang shredded from the frames. Against one burned-out wall, the remains of a playground lie scattered: a red plastic slide, a jumble of child-sized chairs. On an overturned bookshelf a pair of pink plastic sandals have been neatly placed, now covered in dust from the blast. Continue reading...

One of the funniest things to come out of this are the brits who won’t leave Dubai even as it’s being bombed. One influencer adjacent guy went on a live stream on his balcony and said he’d rather be killed by Iran than go back to Wigan

The Goulandris Museum of Modern Art | felix.gripe Exceptional. A piece or two by pretty much every master artist you have heard of, cezanne, pissaro, miro, matisse, monet, picasso, rodin, latrec, degas, pollack, hepworth, lichtenstein etc.

review: The Goulandris Museum of Modern Art ⭐️⭐️⭐️

An incredible collection, supposedly worth $3 billion dollars and I can believe it.

The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford | felix.gripe Absolute cuck festival. Pretty depressing tale of uk/us aristo's behaving poorly with one another.

book review: The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford ⭐️⭐️. The second sad-ass book of the week, this time due to poor moral behaviour – adultery and death and almost nothing good happening for anyone apart from the death.
