8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

This is incredible, accurate and aesthetically beautiful.

I am lucky enough that my commute to work is typically walking. It does make a huge difference in my mental health and I typically arrive in a much better mood.
“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

Merriam-Webster bringing out the hard truths on a Friday.
October is the 10th month.
‘October’ means “8th month.”
In the first calendar used in ancient Rome, the year had only ten months, starting in March and ending in December.
The extra period between December and March was not considered part of the series of months.
