You're supposed to avoid the lighthouse, Tep!

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
But the light is so mesmerizing!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Somewhere there is a transcript of a radio conversation. One is a US battleship advising the other party to the conversation to move. aside to avoid a collision The other keeps telling the battleship they need to change course. The second party eventually says that they're a lighthouse the battleship needs to change course. (You sank your own battleship!)

There are several variations of that floating around. They are all funny.

As the resident lighthouse expert, I will say that I believe it's an urban myth. It is still funny, though.
Also as the expert, lighthouses today are less about marking hazards than they are about showing you where you are. If you have the right charts, you can see a lighthouse and identify your position based on the color of the light and pattern of its blinks.

Our wings are not tired.
I looked on that list for Umbrella Academy, which is supposed to have a season drop next month, but I don't see it listed there.
Also, kind of bummed that The Expanse will end without going as far as the books. Now I'll have to tell the guys how it goes forward, instead of just boring them with pointing out the differences.

What is even happening?
Has anyone watched Slow Horses on Apple? It's a British spy thriller based on the 2010 Mick Herron novel (which I haven't read). Gary Oldman, Jack Lowden, and Kristin Scott Thomas star. It's a 6-episode season, the whole thing has already dropped.
We've inhaled it the last couple of nights. I might have to watch it a second time, because when I binge, I don't retain.
We've also been watching the FX-on-Hulu true crime drama mini-series, Under the Banner of Heaven, based on the Jon Krakauer book of the same name. It's release week-by-week. Andrew Garfield stars. I've got the book sitting next to me, tempting me to inhale it before the rest of the episodes drop.

I just found out that another season of Bosch is available on Amazon. The title is Bosch: Legacy and I think there are six episodes.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, this review of OFMD in Australia's The Saturday Paper is rather exquisite. The show just keeps gnawing at me and hitting me in a lot of the same spots as The Good Place and Ted Lasso, also comedies that reflect on identity, meaning, all the big difficult questions seen through small specific personal lenses; this review delves into all of that.
