Letter from Charles Darwin to Asa Gray (22nd May 1860)

With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me.— I am bewildered.— I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I shd wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.

Lasagne - I got layers.

Offensive language.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.

Needs this to be in the middle.

It’s how I market my sperm…

It’s all very well people going on about accordion man’s impatience but if you also had a leg hose full of okra to empty you’d soon see how it feels to be clowned on by a glam rocker with a bucket.

Back in the day I was told:

The volts give you the jolts
But the amps give you the cramps

The beoseu unjeonsa came in ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah!

When you’ve got someone saying things like: “I am the light” clearly we’re beyond the particle/waveform level of confusion.

Ahhhhhhh, I get it. JESU 1 had problems so he had to go to JESU 2 to heal him. Unfortunately JESU 2 also had problems that were beyond the combined powers of him and JESU Prime which caused JESU 3 to come into existence. So this here is JESU 23, he’s just fixed JESU 22’s shit but he’s a bit unsteady walking on water with the extra limbs so he’s off to see JESU 24.

How many Korean bus drivers does it take to escort a six-toed Galilean to… where is Jesus going btw?

Blahhh D yell.

Should have written fry the onions until they are #f9fac0

I’m going to need a reference on that staff abuse allegation, I’ve tried Googling but haven’t turned up anything.

I don’t have a tv so I didn’t catch the Squarespace commercial, don’t know if it even played in the UK.

Twenty hours in and it’s up to me to remind people that Dolly Parton is the full package?

• She’s got tunes, OK ‘I Will Always Love You’ is a bit cloying but the rumour is that she also wrote Jolene the same day
• She supports other women. When porn star Julia Parton was around and telling people that she was Dolly’s cousin, Dolly’s public response was something like, ‘She ain’t my cousin but I can’t condemn what she does… it’s not like I ever tried to hide my breasts. Good luck to her.’
• She produced Buffy The Vampire Slayer through her production company Sanddollar. She kept a low profile publicly but behind the scenes was very supportive of the show because it provided good role models for young women.
• She funds the Dolly Parton Imagination library which mails free books to kids under five.

Paramilitaries on both sides used car bombs. If you want to do a deep dive on the Troubles the best non-partisan source is The CAIN Archive.

Frighteningly accurate internal monologue scene.

If everything in his crackpot sandstorm hallucination of a religion is correct I imagine his toes are quite toasty about now.

And my money? That was the last we ever saw of it. It lives now only in my memories.
