If you ask a scientist a question about the philosophy of science, there’s a good chance the answer will feature just one or two philosophers. The name of the Austrian-born British philosopher Karl Popper (1902-94) will likely arise in the context of his principle of falsifiability, the ‘demarcation criterion’ that many scientists still use to distinguish science from non-science.
THIS INSTALMENT OF 10 IMAGES features the Instagram photos of @oiaoooa. The most memorable thing about this account is its luscious colours―warm melon and daffodil yellow, salmon and buttercream and raspberry. There are sunlit sinks filled with colourful rose petals and elegant floral arrangements atop of pedestals, pasta and puppies and crème brûlée...
RATHER THAN beginning my mornings with a book as usual, have been beginning them instead, with the Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at John Hopkins University (JHU) map, a far less pleasant way to begin the day, but given the current state of things, necessary
Leave it to Jarvis Cocker — the man who became famous for writing a song based on a trip to the grocery store with a Greek heiress — to rhyme “claustrophobia” and “disrobe ya,” as he does on his new single, “House Music All Night Long.”
WE HAVE BEEN a little light on the articles this last week as we're in the midst of a few (all-consuming) projects, one of which has been revealed in the links below, and another that will be soon but is still in the finishing up phase, which, as you know, can drag on a bit ...

London multi-disciplinary artist Fauness has shared drifting new song ‘Soon There Will Be No Summer’. The rising force delivered her debut EP ‘Toxic Femininity’ around this time last year, and she’s set to follow this with follow up EP ‘Lashes In A Landfill’.
CAME ACROSS an old (2018) article about how Instagram has killed the art of lifestyle blogging and was surprised to read that Instagrammers are now referring to themselves as bloggers.
