I grew up with a vague memory that I had once seen a sitcom with Chewbacca’s family, and I wondered why nobody ever talked about it.

    I think the 2002 pairs ice skating controversy could be a good episode of I think there is a story there of mass media controlling a narrative and I think it would be cool to revisit the story.

    In a pandemic, the Bay Area should be required to act as one unit since, in truth, we are all strongly connected to each other. The idea that Santa Clara could lift its mandate before San Mateo makes no sense at all.

    The first episode of Squid Game Brought me back to when my friends and I read the story The Long Walk in middle school and had our minds blown.

    I immediately thought of while watching the 4th episode of Melrose Place in which Alison mentions she is trying to avoid “carbos” so is eating grapes and pb&celery for lunch.

    I’m looking at the Caldor fire and based on my experience of driving along 88, I am just not sure how that fire can be contained if west winds start picking up. Is it just going to burn all the way uphill?

    I randomly came across the intro to Scarecrow & Mrs King and all I could think of was how Aack Cast has helped my ability to critically read 80s tv shows I last watched as a kid.

    A simple, *hypothetical* example of the Base Rate Fallacy: Suppose w/o a vaccine, 9/10 get hospitalized Suppose w/ a vaccine 1/10 get hospitalized (Note: a very good vaccine!) Suppose 90/100 get the vaccine What share of the hospitalized are vaccinated?

    For many years I have felt like THE main way disinformation spreads is through badly written headlines.

    I am convinced that at this stage of the pandemic, misleading and irresponsible headlines from otherwise reputable news outlets are a major source of damaging misinformation.

    I love it when I run across vintage knitting magazines while going through my patterns. This is from “Le Yarn By Pingouin” from the late 80s.

    I am extremely curious about how a lack of audience will affect the performances at the Olympics. Will times be slower? Will gymnasts make fewer mistakes?

    Scientists: 1970s: We’re seeing concerning patterns. 1980s: Yep, definitely worrisome. 1990s: Seriously folks, this could get bad. 2000s: Do we need to explain this another way? We’re very alarmed. 2010s: *marching in the streets in lab coats* 2020s:
