I find joy in the absurdity of taking silly things seriously. I have a family and a job and I like to collect flags. I'll also compete in just about anything.

@learnedlag.bsky.social really enjoying your podcast this season, and I also thought of Jim Cramer the yelling guy. Thanks for being entertaining and promoting this game where truth and facts matter. And for having the private rundles!

Spurious Correlations Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.

If you ever need to "prove" something using complete nonsense, I strongly recommend www.tylervigen.com/spurious-cor... . My favorite is the per capita consumption of margarine, which is clearly influenced by the divorce rate in Maine.

Statistics can say anything if you screw with them enough.

I'm very excited for Season 2 of The Devil's Plan.

Both #Scrabble and #jetlagthegame succeed by taking something used in everyday life (words, public transportation) and utilizing those to make a game, where their value is based on something other than their value in their intended application. With the right rules and adjustments, both are great!
