That you have abandoned humanity out of fear of your own creation. You left us in the dark to rot with no guidance nor hope. Now you return proclaiming salvation; to save us from ourselves, from our vices. Demanding devotion and loyalty as if it has been earned.

I lost my job at the start of the pandemic and found myself sofa-surfing. It was awful. The only good thing in my life was having met my current partner, and he asked me to live with him. Our flat wasn't much just a studio flat in a building of about fourteen others.

The Illusion of Truth
What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly. They say the argument of truth is linked to the human experience. But if normal is an illusion, how can we guarantee that the notion of the truth exists? Does one whole truth against 7.753 billion realities? What is the truth exactly? How do we find it? Why is it important? 'Reaching a consensus on an objective description of the world is possible in principle. That is the wonder of science.

The Ember in the Dark
We are the descendants of the old gods, and we carry their magic in our blood. We hold the secrets of humanity in our hearts and the truth in our minds. These messages have been passed down and translated through generations in secret. We were once fiercely respected and listened to. We were once deeply loved, and we were feared and admired. We were advisors, guardians, and defenders to great leaders and the greatest legends. We were the protectors of humanity, and yet we hide from it.

5 Comfort Shows I Love Re-watching

Cynical, witty and well brutal, The Great features some great performances from Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult.
