Is it odd that we (and this is a broader-than-just-humans we) didn't evolve our instinct for blinking such that we blink each eye separately such that one was always open to spot threats?

Ok, hear me out. Treasure Planet was a movie with a beautiful and fascinating animation that didn't get a fair shake. It's world deserves more attention. Disney should give us a mature adaptation of Les Miserables set in the Treasure Planet universe.
And Javert should be a robot.

Pitch me a movie in which I've cast martial arts superstar Yonnie Den* as my hero and cinema great Brarlon Mando* as the antagonist.

There should be 13 months of 28 days every year, with 1 extra day that doesn't fall into any month (2 on leap years). January 1st should be a Monday every year. A 24-hour clock set to GMT should be used everywhere. And daylight savings should be eliminated, obviously.

There is a modern (but fading) form of augery in the snippets of dialogue you receive out of context while flipping through the stations on the radio or channels on tv.
The radio gifted my morning commute with this pearl of wisdom: "Life, it turns out, is more than Minute Maid, Coke, and Pepsi."

D&D adventure idea:
A kingdom is under attack by an undead monstrosity. People are panicking. Conventional means of stopping it have failed. The royal mages have a final solution: a powerful ritual that will dispell the animating necrotic energy of all the undead in the kingdom.

Last night I dreamt that ICE was rolling around the city with buses collecting all non-citizens. So all the dads organized to play catch with their kids in the streets at the entrances of the neighborhood 24/7 so they could give warning of ICE's movements and slow them down.

I've been exposed to a fair amount of classical music but, aside from bits used in Loony Tunes cartoons, I've not paid much attention to them. I don't think I could distinguish a Haydn from a Brahms. But there's music that would mean a lot to me if I /really/ listened to it.

Fantasy idea:
The fabric of reality is like living tissue; physics is it's healthy function. Magic is a pathogen that infects reality. It's supernatural effects are symptoms, like fever in a body. Like other infection, magic can spread. Like other disease, some magic can overtax reality, killing it.

Somewhere in the multiverse there is a world where Castaway stared Jim Varney instead of Tom Hanks.

A app like Tinder except that instead of finding people to date, you make arrangements to play with other people's dogs.

A year ago I was given a spider plant. And, obviously, it needed a Spider-Man pot. I took it to work (where I'd have some help from folks with greener thumbs) and Peter has been growing really well.
Today he was joined by Miles, a non-variegated Spider-Plant.
I love them.

I had a thought about video game inputs. Bear with me.
Most video game handhelds are, quite reasonably, shaped like video game handhelds. You get options like vertical or horizontal layout, different aspect ratios, different numbers of buttons or analog sticks but they're all pretty predictable.

People get so bothered by pineapple on pizza. Pfft. Push beyond.
My pizza is the Swede. It's like a Hawaiian but with the addition of banana and curry powder. Dig it.

What provides the Blue Shell function in pro sports like the NFL or MLB?
I see a potential loop where a team wins, becomes popular, gains money, and uses that to get the best players and win harder. If not broken, this could generate a dominant unbeatable team which is not ideal. What mitigates it?

Pondering the Fermi Paradox, I'd never considered that we might encounter the same Great Filter more than once. I'd assumed that being filtered would be the end of our species. But if it just knocks us down then we build up to it again. This could result in a horrific cycle of endless suffering.

We're having grilled cheese roulette for dinner. It's where I make a bunch of grilled cheese sandwiches with the last bits of the various fancy cheeses in the fridge but I don't keep track of which cheeses go into which sandwiches.

I saw a statistic that almost half the adults in the US haven't read a book in the last year.
I've always read novels but, until recently, nonfiction books in history or philosophy or the like intimidated me. But I've discovered they can actually be really fun! It's just textbooks that suck.
