Si os gusta Ghibli seguro que difrutais de estas fotos tomadas en un barrio a las afueras de Hamamatsu en Shizuoka. Conocida como Nukumori, es una aldea con varias casas, tiendas de artesanía, cafeterías y restaurantes rodeados por un bosque “totoriano” y decorados que parecen surgidos directamente de la imaginación de Hayao Miyazaki. Varias de las casas están abiertas al público, en la web oficial tenéis los detalles y más fotos.

El último minuto del video muestra Nukumori.

Há muito deixou de ser novidade os videogames conviverem com acusações de que são formadores de psicopatas, o que aparentemente não tem feito com que as desenvolvedoras deixassem de abordar o assunto, mas você já reparou como o sexo ainda é um tema que muitos estúdios evitam tratar em seus jogos?

Pois o assunto acabou virando um excelente artigo publicado Rory Appleton no blog Corrupted Cartridge, onde o autor questiona a hipocrisia dos americanos (e porque não, dos brasileiros?) que não parecem se incomodar em ver pessoas desmembradas em games e filmes, mas se mostram profundamente ofendidas ao assistir um casal fazendo sexo ou até com um personagem que apareça despido na tela.

Appleton toca num ponto interessante e que sempre defendi, que é o conteúdo sexual não ser utilizado gratuitamente, mas que é inegável que em determinados momentos ele se faz necessário para incrementar a história, mas mesmo assim os envolvidos na criação e principalmente o órgão responsável pela classificação etária – a ESRB – parece não levar isso em consideração ao avaliar um título, praticamente exigindo que os estúdios removam qualquer conotação sexual para que a criação não recebe o temido selo “Adults Only”.

O motivo para as editores evitarem tal classificação é que as vendas podem sofrer duramente por causa dela e como bem lembrou o autor, o curioso é que mesmo tendo cenas grotescas de violência, muitos jogos acabam escapando da censura, mostrando assim uma sociedade que não se incomoda se seus filhos estão vendo uma pessoa sendo decapitada, mas que não aceita eles assistirem uma relação sexual.

Um exemplo citado por Appleton foi o Beyond: Two Souls, título que acabou sendo atacado nos Estado Unidos graças a representação de uma tentativa de estupro e por a protagonista dormir com um colega de trabalho, ambas as cenas sem nenhuma nudez e embora a morte de centenas de crianças na Somália seja retratada no game, os críticos parecem ter se incomodado mais com o outro “problema”.

Para encerrar, deixo um trecho do artigo, onde o autor diz que “quando eu era criança, sabia que assistir um filme onde duas pessoas tirariam suas roupas me colocaria em muito mais problemas do que assistir um filme onde uma pessoa cortasse a cabeça de outra. Espero que essa visão mude conforme minha geração comece a criar seus filhos, mas não tenho muita fé de que isso acontecerá.”

Think back: you’ve just dumped a bin of LEGO^R bricks onto the floor with a satisfying crash, and you have the whole day ahead of you to build whatever you want. There’s something pretty amazing about being able to piece together your ideas with just a collection of colorful bricks.

Well, we think the creative freedom of LEGO bricks shouldn’t be limited to plastic bins—which is the idea behind Build with Chrome, a collaboration between Chrome and the LEGO Group that brought these colorful bricks to the web using WebGL, a 3D graphics technology. It was originally built by a team in Australia as an experiment, and now we’re opening it up to everybody. So now you can publish your wacky creations to any plot of land in the world.
We’ve added a few new features to make it easier to build and explore this digital world of LEGO creations. To start, you can now sign in with a Google+ account to help find stuff that people in your circles have created. A new categorization system for completed Builds will help you sort and filter for specific types of structures.

To hone your engineering skills and prepare for the upcoming “THE LEGO^R MOVIE^TM,” you can explore the Build Academy, a series of short tutorials and challenges featuring characters and structures from the film.

If it feels more natural to use your hands—rather than a mouse—you can build your creations using a touchscreen on your phone or tablet with Chrome for Android support for WebGL on devices with high-end graphics capabilities.

As big fans of LEGO, we’re excited to see what you come up with to fill this new world. Share your creations on Google+ and we’ll reshare the most inventive ones.

For weimie puppies seven!

Is seven a leetle too much to take all at once? Sorry, let’s try two at a time.

Still overboard? How about one at a time?

Can you handle one sleppeh + belleh + floppeh puppeh?

How about just sleppeh?

Hope the smoosh face isn’t overdoing it.

If you’ve made it this far then a sprinkle of flowers on top should be no problem!

Tired swimmer rescued in Finland

During the first weekend of November, a Finnish man was kayaking on a lake in a thick fog. He saw something floating in the water, and when he got closer he saw that it was a Northern Hawk-Owl. It was clearly exhausted and the man lifted it out of the freezing water onto the tip of his kayak. The owl then crawled to his lap for warmth and burrowed under his lifejacket.

Since his original destination was too far away, the man decided to head for a nearby art museum on the lake shore. Once there he was eagerly assisted by both visitors and a museum guide, who took the bird in to rest and dry up next to a warm stove.  At the end of the day the owl had recovered and was released back into the wild.

How the owl ended up in the lake in the first place remains a mystery. It may have got lost in the fog, or have been driven out to the lake by Hooded Crows (if a flock spots a predatory bird they tend to chase it away quite aggressively).

(This is my summarized translation of the article which is only available in Finnish. No copyright infringement is intended, only sharing this to celebrate the brave little owl and all the people who helped him.)

crawled into his lap for warmth!!

Tried to crawl inside his vest actually.

omg it got better

also it’s “drop of a hat”, guy.

In 1982: 

“The Bible clearly teaches, starting in the tenth chapter of Genesis and going all the way through, that God has put differences among people on the earth to keep the earth divided.” - Bob Jones III, defending Bob Jones University’s policy banning interracial dating/marriage. The policy was changed in 2000. 

In 1823: 

 "The right of holding slaves is clearly established by the Holy Scriptures, both by precept and example." - Rev. Richard Furman, first president of the South Carolina State Baptist Convention.

In the 16th Century: 

“People gave ear to an upstart astrologer who strove to show that the earth revolves, not the heavens or the firmament, the sun and the moon. This fool…wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy; but sacred Scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and not the earth.” - Martin Luther in "Table Talk" on a heliocentric solar system.

In 1637:

“Sometimes the Scripture declareth women and children must perish with their parents…We have sufficient light from the Word of God for our proceedings.” - Captain John Underhill, defending the Puritan decimation of the Pequot tribe.

In 1846: 

 “The evidence that there were both slaves and masters of slaves in churches founded and directed by the apostles, cannot be got rid of without resorting to methods of interpretation that will get rid of everything." - Rev. Leonard Bacon, in defense of American slavery. (Christian ministers wrote nearly half of all defenses of slavery, often citing Scripture to make their case.)

In 1869: 

“The Bible is the revealed will of God, and it declares the God-given sphere of woman. The Bible is, then, our authority for saying woman must content herself with this sphere…Who demand the ballot for woman? They are not the lovers of God, nor are they believers in Christ, as a class. There may be exceptions, but the majority prefer an infidel’s cheer to the favor of God and the love of the Christian community.”  - Rev. Justin Dewey Fulton in his treatise against women’s suffrage. 

In 1960: 

“Wherever we have the races mixed up in large numbers, we have trouble….These religious liberals are the worst infidels in many ways in the country; and some of them are filling pulpits down South.  They do not believe the Bible any longer; so it does not do any good to quote it to them.  They have gone over to modernism, and they are leading the white people astray at the same time; and they are leading colored Christians astray.  But every good, substantial, Bible-believing, intelligent orthodox Christian can read what the Word of God and know that what is happening in the South now is not of God.” - Bob Jones Sr., in his treatise against integration entitled, 'Is Segregation Scriptural?'

***

Of course, for every Christian who appealed to Scripture to oppose abolition, integration, women’s suffrage, and the acceptance of a heliocentric solar system, there were Christians who appealed to Scripture to support those things too.

But these quotes should serve as a humbling reminder that rhetorical claims to the Bible’s clarity on a subject do not automatically make it so. One need not discount the inspiration and authority of Scripture to hold one’s interpretations of Scripture with an open hand. 

It’s easy to look down our noses at the Christians who have come before us and discount them as unenlightened and uninformed. But to accept Galileo’s thesis, our 17th century forbearers would have had to reject 1600 years of traditional Christian interpretations of passages like Psalm 93:1, Ecclesiastes 1:5, and Joshua 10:12-14. And to accept the arguments of the abolitionist, our great-great-grandparents had to see beyond the “plain meaning” of proof texts like Ephesians 6:1-5, Colossians 3:18-25; 4:1, and I Timothy 6:1-2 and instead be compelled by the general sweep of Scripture toward justice and freedom . (I wrote more about this in my post, “Is abolition biblical?”) 
 

We like to characterize the people in the quotes above as having used Scripture to their own advantage. But I find it both frightening and humbling to note that, often, the way we make the distinction between those who loved Scripture and those who used Scripture is hindsight. 

So before you share that MLK quote on Facebook today, ask yourself: If your pastor told you that integration was "unbiblical" and MLK was a dangerous, anti-Christian communist, (which is what plenty of white pastors in the South did), which side would you have chosen? Would you have defied your own religious community to stand with MLK?

I wish I knew for sure what I would have done...but I don't. I'm humbled, and a little frightened, by how often true justice is only recognized as such in hindsight
