Codz Poop, Kabah, Yucatán, Mexico, 2024

(Click for panorama, I think that's how it works).

This is a stunning 'Puuc' style structure at Kabah. It's covered in 100s of 'masks' either depicting the Mayan rain god Chaac or the "Flower Mountain." There's some academic debate on that point. These are three film images stitched in Adobe Lightroom.

"South Africa also unduly limited the scope of its litigation by confining it only to the question of violation of the Convention against Genocide adopted in 1948 immediately after World War II."

https://www.justsecurity.org/91448/international-courts-as-the-last-hope-for-humanity/

Ya don't say. Unduly limited the scope of its litigation sums up 99.999% percent of all discussions here in the as well.

unduly limited

nicholas_saunders,

@unnameduser Sam, are reading that that South Africa has to accuse Russia of genocide? While that may be an interesting idea, it's not the scope under discussion.

The scope under discussion is exactly the same scope as that employed by Arafat with Bill Clinton:

In this specific conflict, the prosecution is seeking a Goldilocks scope. Not too much, not too little, just right for the requisite outcome.

No one with any sense would swallow that hook, line, and sinker.

nicholas_saunders,

@unnameduser I don't follow the reasoning at all, as, firstly, that'd be a seperate prosecution. Secondly, Unless I'm very much mistaken, Russia, being a permanent member of the security council, can negate any decision. Thirdly, there's no obligation to prosecute every case to justify prosecution of one case.

In my judgement, the war in The Ukraine is more akin to a civil war. I'll naively go out on a limb and say that Russia is probably indiscriminate in their targeting.

Vomitorium, Roman theater, , .

Originally the word "vomitorium" was related to the meaning of expeling, and a vomitorium was simply the exit, the means of leaving the theatre.

At some point the word vomit came to mean "unexpected and possibly violent exit of half-digested food from the inside of the body".

@artcollisions

No, it was built. Presumably at some point it had a more polished finish, but this theatre was only rediscovered in the late 1980s after nearly two thousand years of Romans, Visigoths, Greeks, Moors, and all their damn cousins harvesting the original structure for building materials, and then building on top of it.

Good news, everybody! We've rediscovered hell!

Archaeologists may have found ruins of fabled entrance to Zapotec underworld

Spanish missionaries deemed Lyobaa to be a "back door to hell" and sealed all entrances.
