    Wild guess at the start then I figured out green. But I only got purple because it was what was left. But once I read what purple was I smacked my head.

  • It's Saturday what have you watched this week?
  • I’ve been on late aughts basic cable dramas lately. After finishing Leverage I’ve rolled onto Burn Notice. Very fun and light and god damn but Bruce Campbell is an American treasure. “Spies, a bunch of bitchy little girls.”

  • Hope rule
  • But it is the fact that it will end that gives our life meaning. If we didn’t know that it’ll end our lives would just be an endless loop where because it all happens nothing will matter. As Todd May says “One has a place in the cosmic process of which one’s own existence is a fleeting moment, but a moment nonetheless”

  • Is there any hetero romance content where the partners feel like authentic best friends who completely ignore gender expectations?
  • Maybe it’s a because I’m rewatching it right now but the first couple that jumped to my mind was Andy and April from Parks and Rec. Andy is very warm and bubbly and April is not. They’re a very fun couple but I’m not sure about breaking gender roles so much as just not really caring about them. The rest of the couples in P&R are pretty good friendship and passion combos from Ron and Diane’s practical seriousness to Leslie and Ben’s friendly romance. It’s the first place I heard the phrase that’s become my relationship touchstone “I love you, and I like you.”

  • Biggest Lie
  • It’s not hard to see why people get bothered by Wheel. When you play a Wheel card it’s a 1 in 4 chance in the way that it’s like rolling a 1 on a d4, always the same no matter how many you play. But physiologically it feels like it should be like drawing a spade from a deck of cards, the odds should get higher as you draw non-winning cards.

  • Order Up #240 - "Many moons"
  • No spoilers now that it’s finished but I’m just not that aware about astronomy. I know that we’re still finding moons on the outer planets with every flyby so it’s hard to keep track. Also Pluto isn’t even a planet anymore so it shouldn’t be on that list any. I’m not up on astronomy but I’ve got opinions 😝
