Beim BND stehen große Veränderungen an: Eine neue Spezialeinheit für weltweite Einsätze wird gegründet, und Anna übernimmt die Leitung.

Not only can we not currently explain the origin of the universe, it is questionable we will ever be able to explain it. The notion that there are universes within particles, or that particles are conscious, is ascientific, as is the hypothesis that our universe is a computer simulation.

Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself, Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death. Then he wakes up again at the start of the Cataclysm. Then again. And again. In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment, and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

Nella seconda metà del Seicento, un solitario mercante di stoffe olandese, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, e un poliedrico quanto eterodosso scienziato inglese, Robert Hooke, guardando nei loro microscopi fecero una scoperta rivoluzionaria. Ossia che gli organismi viventi complessi sono aggregati di minuscole unità biologiche indipendenti e autoregolate. Un concetto radicale che modificò per sempre biologia e medicina.

When the king of this realm saw me bathing in a stream, he did his best to warn me. Keep my distance, or the curse upon him would set his blood on fire, and he would ravage me brutally.

He made me his, and no matter how savagely he ruts me or how thoroughly he blisters my bare backside while trying to scare me away, I'll never stop being what I was always destined to be.

Status signaling isn’t just the province of the immature or insecure but a fundamental human need to secure social standing. It drives our behavior, forms our tastes, determines what we buy, and ultimately shapes who we are. It’s what’s behind “cool” and what drives fashion, music, food, sports, slang, travel, hairstyles, and dog breeds—and even the outsize influence of unpopular things with the “right” audience.
