  1. I love it when more than one person on my feed talks about the same random thing at the same time.

    We need a word or phrase to describe this phenomenon. If you’ve heard a good one or want to make up a new slang term, please share. I will use it!

    (But I hate seeing friends getting hurt, so I declare this trend officially over. 😂 Be safe out there, everyone. )

  6. One thing which bothers me about the prose in the Sutta Pitaka is it often presents plot devices as facts, eg: the Bāhiya Sutta (Ud 1.10) tells a story of a monk who is in a hurry to attain enlightenment, instantly attains it after talking to Buddha, then immediately dies from a cow attack.

  7. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! Remember when I said I wanted to get back into piano?? The reservation I put in for a keyboard at the library many moons ago came in today! AND I had planned on going to read at the library tomorrow! There's surely a way for me to construct some meaning out of all these random coincidences!

  8. A quotation from Bill Watterson

    CALVIN: I’d say that crossed the line from Ironic Coincidence to Evil Omen.

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
    Calvin and Hobbes (1990-05-11)
