A photo of a paragraph from a textbook that reads:

Ask your student what he thinks makes atoms stay together. (Answers will vary.) Tell him that scientists have many ideas but do not know for sure because nobody has ever seen inside an atom.
Then read Colossians 1:16-17. Everything is held together by the power of Christ Jesus. Without His preserving power, the universe would fly apart. While those who are unsaved struggle to find out why atoms stay together, we as Christians know that God does it. (Bible Promise: I. God as Master)

A screenshot of a test spec for automated transcription software. On one line I have started to type the expected output, and got as far as "And so my fellow Americans", and the autocomplete in the Jetbrains editor has filled in the rest of the line. For context, if you don't know coding stuff, a couple of years ago it only knew which properties a given object has. Now it knows American History 101?

A photo of an entry from Samuel Johnson's Dictionary (1773) that reads as follows:

Delight n. s. [delice, French; from delecto; Latin.]

Joy; content; satisfaction. Saul commanded his servants, saying, commune with David secretly, and say, behold the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee. — 1 Sam. xviii. 22.

That which gives delight. Come, sisters, chear we up his sprights, And shew the best of our delights: We'll charm the air to give a sound, While you perform your antick round. — Shakespeare.

Titus Vespasian was not more the delight of human kind: the universal empire made him only known, and more powerful, but could not make him more beloved. — Dryden.

She was his care, his hope, and his delight; Most in his thought, and ever in his sight. — Dryden.

$From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar", every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. ... There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. Carl Sagan$
