[WP] in 2019 the Event Horizon telescope revealed the first pictures of a black hole's event horizon and what appears to be writing scrolling across the surface. Each black hole studied has the same writing. A decade later scientists believe they have collected the entire script and begin decoding.	5
[WP] After your 'friends' convinced you to bring a knife to school, you were ratted out and expelled. Now you're in Diversion School, a real Lord of the Flies situation where the instructor is a secret gang leader and students are forced into membership - if they survive the initation.	5
