  1. Ooooh...! Spooky coincidence time. I'm planning a reunion of two of my friends from back home (#LovecraftLand in Massachusetts), so of course I felt obligated to provide entertainment (in the form of #KateBush music videos -- our common musical interest). Anyhow, while looking through my YT playlists, I came across a trailer for #StrangeMagick . I forgot it had come out, and quickly found the actual documentary. I knew it was about #HPLovecraft and #AleisterCrowley, but did not realize it dealt a lot with the #OssipeeVortex. It just so happens that our planned reunion (a few days after the #SolarEclipse ) will take place at the vortex! Talk about #StrangePhenomena !

  2. The Accidental Phone Call

    LovePhone by kmls

    She misdialed a number, she said,
    but not really.

    So we reminisced about old times,
    the good work we did together,
    where our coworkers are,
    what our children are doing.

    Organizations end,
    but relationships don’t have to.
    I can do better at staying connected.

    I can be more intentional,
    while at the same time
    knowing that
    on this journey
    there are no
    accidental phone calls.

  3. Kash Patel is going to Russia in October?

    US midterms are in early November.

    A grand feature of American elections is an "October surprise", real or made up info/disinfo designed to damage a candidate.

  4. @TheDinosaurDave kind of entertaining that a large hand claw was the first element found for both Suchomimus and Baryonyx.

  5. 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.

  6. A quotation from Doyle

       “You will remember that I remarked the other day, just before we went into the very simple problem presented by Miss Mary Sutherland, that for strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.”
       “A proposition which I took the liberty of doubting.”
       “You did, Doctor, but none the less you must come round to my view, for otherwise I shall keep on piling fact upon fact on you until your reason breaks down under them and acknowledges me to be right.”

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
    Story (1891-08), “The Red-Headed League,” The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 2

  7. @lzg thanks to @lisamelton these were next to each other on my timeline, it made me smile :) #coincidence

  8. Coincidentally, I don't believe in coincidences.

  9. I can't help thinking that all these coincidences can't just be coincidence.

    For example, this morning Steven was watching a video which featured Norah Jones singing Pink Pony Club, which he's never heard of before in his life. He came downstairs and checked his Mastodon feed, and someone is sharing a performance of Pink Pony Club as the first post he sees. Coincidence?

    There was a tiny little caterpillar crawling across my placemat as I'm about to have lunch. I carefully take him outside to put him on the ground and find his twin on our step. I have never seen this particular kind of caterpillar before. And I don't see any others now. Coincidence?

    Too weird.

  10. Force the Issue

    Yesterday I wrote a post complaining about how long it takes a package of film to get from my house in Massachusetts to the development lab in California. I wrote the post on Monday, fully expecting that my package would not arrive at its destination until Friday.

    Shortly after publishing the post I got an email saying my package had arrived. Really? So quickly? Amazing! Did my writing about the situation somehow affect the outcome? Did my post somehow warp space and time to allow the package to arrive right at that moment? Who knows.

    Now here we are, a day later, and I am waiting for the lab to tell me the photos have been developed and scanned and uploaded to my account. I’m waiting… patiently… impatiently. It’s only 2:17pm in California right now but I’m thinking… I’m wondering… I’m pondering…

    If my post somehow altered space and time yesterday… would posting again today have a similar result? If I write about it again, will the outcome I am hoping for come to pass shortly after I click publish?

    Let’s find out!

  11. 🧵 1/6

    I was sitting in an Austin Starbucks last weekend, absorbed in the recently published "New Deal Art: Culture and Crisis in the Great Depression" by John P. Murphy.

    "Hello." A smiling man was standing by my table. "I'm the author of the book you're reading."

    What a delightful coincidence! We sat together and chatted for a while about the book, the thirties, and the exhibition of American modernist art at the UT Blanton Museum where he was going to be giving a talk.

    Even though I was already planning to post a few thoughts on the book, the chance meeting has provided me with additional impetus.

  12. #coincidence #bradmagnarella #profcroftseries Todays date, May 15th, was dropped as Annual meeting that the two worlds meet for Prof Croft to reunites with his shadowself's son Alex. #Goldlywars book 11.

  13. #coincidence? I think not. That I #finished my #books before Covid-19, people #started losing their #jobs, Trump's #second term, Iran #war. No coincidence.

  14. RE: humanwords.party/@pinhman/1164

    speaking of governments ramming deregulation down our throats and to hell with the consequences or benefit for humanity: enter, Scott Moe's Saskatchewan government appointing municipal councillors after the electeds resigned... and now a massive AI data centre is happening

  15. Weird to stumble on a song and the first verse has eerie similarities to the novel I’m writing…

  16. 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!
