Name a movie shot that looks like a painting I'll start:
Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
It is the man of science, eager to have his every opinion regenerated, his every idea rationalized, by drinking at the fountain of fact, and devoting all the energies of his life to the cult of truth, not as he understands it, but as he does not yet understand it, /1
Really I’m pretty low maintenance, I just need 17 hours of alone time every morning, constant reassurance from everyone in my life that they’re not mad at me, and $150 worth of little treats every single day and I’m good to go
The question of the goodness of anything is whether that thing fulfills its end.
MFW the defeat of the Hittite commander Ḫimuili by the Arzawan leader Anzapaḫḫaddu, who had refused the demands to release Hittite captives, forced you to intervene personally and enforce the demands - King Suppiluiluma

And in regard to any preference for one kind of theory over another, it is well to remember that every single truth of science is due to the affinity of the human soul to the soul of the universe, imperfect as that affinity no doubt is.
it continues to be wild to me that if the cinnamon tree didn't happen to exist there just *wouldn't be cinnamon flavour* and yet you'd still have the *capacity to taste cinnamon* and there are surely thousands of flavours you could taste that just happen to not exist
