Rescue mission called off for NASA Swift space telescope,
setting up a fiery reentry
NASA and startup Katalyst Space Technologies called off a rescue of aging Swift space telescope
after technical problems crippled the Link spacecraft,
sealing Swift’s fate of fiery reentry later this year.

Five ways Europe's heat-wave summer is hot, hot, hot
Temperatures have been off the charts this year in Europe, the continent warming faster than any other continent. Here are five reasons why Europe's summer of 2026 will go down in the history of climate change:

- Established places of worship
This can be the hardest one. In the US, I think this needs to be open. A TST group I knew about used to have some privacy around their space because of all the death threats, as I understood it. (I'm not going to go into a critique of TST. @… has tons of stuff to say about how they're shit, and you should listen.)
But you will need to define a space for worship. It's not uncommon for Quakers services to be held in someone's house. The Universal Life Church operates online in a forum. There are temples that have online services.
Hey, this is fun, literally nothing says that there couldn't be a church on Mastodon where the membership is made of anyone who's on the server. I mean, technically slrpnk.net could probably just become a church if they wanted to.

Halo Reach: flying around in space
I am, apparently, a little way through the game, and I restarted halfway through chapter 3.  The difference in gameplay from the first Halo is marked, with increased reliance on team members and communication, and a move to large scale set pieces rather than small-scale battles in corridors from one waypoint to the next.  The world feels a lot more empty and open, and you have a sense of partaking in a massive war rather than an…
