  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. 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!

  7. When 4 "Coincidences" Stop Being Coincidences

    A 5.6km object is heading toward Jupiter with four characteristics that break the rules:

    🎯 Targeting precision - Arriving at the exact gravitational boundary used for orbital insertion (1 in 25,000 odds)

    ⚖️ Impossible density - Would need to be lighter than cotton candy while staying intact (physics violation) (or hollow)

    🔬 Industrial chemistry - Spectral signature matches refined aerospace alloys, not space ice

    🎮 Active control - Jets that defy rotational physics without stabilization systems

    Combined probability: <1 in 100,000
    But that is just a number, let's visualise 1:100000;

    3I/ATLAS arriving at Jupiter's Hill sphere boundary after a course correction is like watching five cars in a row all have license plates ending in 777 - while they're all driving to the same address - and they all arrived exactly on time.

    Or

    Three spins of a Roulette Wheel landing on the same number.

    March 2026 Jupiter encounter = the moment of truth.
    My prediction: Something totally anomalous will happen which will either be under-reported or, totally ignored or misrepresented. Can't wait!

    And in a new paper NASA documents how it shut down ("contingency mode") it's TESS probe just when it could have gathered precise data about #3iAtlas (arxiv.org/abs/2601.21569)

  8. A quotation from Emerson

    Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances — it was somebody’s name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
    Essay (1860), “Worship,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 6
