icymi I wrote a little ode to “Jupiter Ascending,” a very important film, in Saturday’s @newyorker.com Daily newsletter

"Jupiter Ascending" (2015)
There's just so much more nonsense than sense in the Wachowskis' magnificently insane space epic. The story, I guess, is about a beautiful Earthling toilet-scrubber catapulted into interplanetary political intrigue because she's a perfect DNA match for a recently-deceased galactic oligarch—but you're doomed if you go looking for coherent plot. Better to absorb this masterpiece as a high-production-value tone poem: Channing Tatum as a canine-spliced rollerblading bodyguard; something involving really hot siblings in a regeneration hot tub; Eddie Redmayne doing oh, so much ACTING; and something happens with bees? Whatever. It's all enormous and gorgeous-looking.—Helen Rosner, staff writer

It’s a while since my probability a-level, but I get 54% chance of success

1 or 6 means each dice has 1 in 3 chance to contribute to success. On 2 dice, that’s a 1 in 9 chance of success. On 5 it’s easier to work out chance of missing -

No successes: (2/3)^5 = 13%ish
1 success: (1/3)*(2/3)^4*5 =33%ish

Add together: 46% ish chance of missing. Which is 54% chance of success

Wrens are usually solitary birds but when it’s cold they will sometimes huddle together for warmth. Some people call this a ‘herd’ but technically it’s known as a ‘scene’. That’s because chilled wren should be ‘scene’ and not ‘herd’.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
