An xy chart showing different countries' life expectancies (y) vs health expenditure per capita (x), with individual countries' lines on the graph tracking with time, from 1970 to 2018. USA is, in 2018, at ~$10,000 per capita for ~79 years life expectancy. Other first World countries are clustered, all over 81 years, and all under $7,000, with the median being around 82 years, $4,000.

@ginamai.bsky.social is getting ready for this weekend and Sparkle Mart, Greenbelt's annual holiday craft fair. Look at the latest batch of handmade octopuses! No two are alike!
A table with ceramic octopuses, all different colors and poses, end of sculpture of a woman, whose head disappears above the picture frame. Behind the table is a wire shelf with bowls, small sculptures of heads, and a tea set.

Remember The Electric Company?
A Venn diagram showing the intersections of three circles, labeled "wacky hijinks," "stuck in one place" (Gilligan's Island); "wacky hijinks," "nothing happens" (Seinfeld); "stuck in one place," "nothing happens" (No Exit). In the middle, the intersection of Seinfeld, Gilligan's Island, No Exit, is Love of Chair.

I haz a game, but apparently it is sold out for the nonce. Amazon claims to have it, and some of your local game shops might. I hope you can find it. In the meanwhile, enjoy this picture from Essen Spiel. It's cooperative poker, and it's fun!
