Lanterns season 1 (HBO): I wanted to like this show, the actors were good but it was mostly joyless and only got more grim towards the end. Plus, the non-linear storytelling seemed unnecessary (if you're going to watch, start on episode 3). I'd go for a season of just Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern.

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

About a year ago, UofA vs BYU 🏈, it's tied in like the 2nd OT, Wildcats have the ball on 4th & 7, so they at least need to get 7 yards to have a chance to win, instead they throw a long shot to the corner of the end zone, overthrown, game over. Maybe they still would have lost; but terrible call!

I don't know if there's good evidence for the benefit of K tape—the injury recovery tape you see many athletes wearing that slightly changes how the force of a muscle is distributed. Maybe it's better than a placebo, but how do you test for the placebo effect with sports injuries?
