I do appreciate the bandage motif for the distancing markers at this urgent care. (Everything’s ok, this was the follow-up visit to an injury last week.)

No, brain, Duolingo and iNaturalist are not the same. I mean yes, they’re both green icons and they both have owls in them, but that’s about as far as it goes.

The courtyard was at least someplace they could set up chairs and signs reminding you to keep your distance. I saw a few people walking through on their way to somewhere else (like I was), and could hear an exercise class running in the parking structure next door.

Spotted in a park. Probably a Cooper’s Hawk.
I heard a lot of chirping from this tree, and saw a cluster that looks like it could be a nest near where this hawk was standing guard. It just kind of looked around the whole time even as I walked past the tree. If it was standing guard, it must have been able to tell I wasn’t a threat.

Across many experiments, participants tried to fix problems by adding stuff
Interesting: “Across many experiments, participants tried to fix problems by adding stuff” even when removing something was a simpler solution.
When asked to fix something, we don’t even think of removing parts
And now I’m reminded of an essay I saw years ago about how people are more likely to ask for a preference to change application behavior than just ask it to change.
Every time through the book, the bishop’s chapters are more interesting. But “In the Year 1817” gets more tedious each time through.

Argot, the sewers, the convent – there’s at least some substance there and you can see how things connect. “1817” is just a list of contemporary pop culture references that would already have been barely relevant 50 years on, never mind 200 years on and across the world.
Modern editions of it have more footnotes than text. Last time I read it, it took forever because I was looking up every footnote as I got to it.
And it’s all ONE LONG PARAGRAPH.

TBH, though, Atlas Obscura got better photos than I did:
