ROYGBIV and the conception of the rainbow as having seven colors exists because isaac newton wanted to break the visible spectrum of light into 7 - therefore matching the 7 musical tones in a major scale, 7 classical planets, 7 days of the week, 7 metals of antiquity, and so on.
@simonsarris Our five-year-old told me the other day that seven (I think it was seven) was a nicer number than six. She said it as if he kinder. I don’t understand what she means, though she tried to explain.

if youre watching something extremely tense or high action on a screen your brain is at least partially pumping adrenaline or experiencing it as real in some capacity. but all your organs and your whole body are literally just sitting there with zero action. must have some effect

one theory i have no evidence for is that a large amount of people’s weird health problems today are partially from screens - specifically: if you are watching something high adrenaline on a screen, your brain is “there”, but your body is doing nothing, and this jars your system

lol: a mom on instagram sent me this. this is the most popular site pregnant women use to scope potential baby names. once again i am infiltrating the mom-sphere.

after reading a richard scarry story about scotland my son (turning 4) has become a scotophile. did not know this was a thing. hes wearing a vest with scottish terriers. he somehow found a tam o'shanter my wife owns (pic). he asked to listen to bagpipes in the car at 9 am today.

a quorum is being assembled here
the black mage from final fantasy is probably one of the most ubiquitous and well loved character designs on the internet. interestingly, perhaps by coincidence, it bears a similarity to the “arch warlock” from the work of vaughn bode, from the 60s or 70s:

im running religious studies PSAs here. full wall of hieroglyphs from inside a pyramid built in 2340 BC. english translation of this stuff could probably be at your house in a few days. if youre bored thats on you.

just shilling esoterica: you can read the writing on this wall. this pyramid is from the 24th century BC. thats whats in the book below.
im not sure most people realize the text you see written inside pyramids has been translated, and you can just read it. this is a solid contender for oldest writing you can easily access. this type of thing is a unique window into how early language was wed to magic and religion.

no oversight board, no institution, no one even doing it intentionally. theres some type of stable idea matrix on the outskirts of the culture hiding in the most unexpected places - jokes, riddles, tales. a guy went to a pub in the 1500s called “the cat and the fiddle”. crazy.

A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Limiting urological, tracheostomy, and ostomy supply options will do more harm than good

likewise i can go back to an astrology chart from… whenever, the 1500s easy, probably way before then, and its the same as today. its virtually exactly the same. imagine standing in 1500 AD and being tasked with getting something to 2025 AD unchanged. a truly incredible feat.

its slightly insane to consider a mother in 1550 and a mother in 1990 both singing “hey diddle diddle” to their kids, and no one knows what it means. its a solid stable linguistic artifact: it congealed and then cemented and then became a brick in the wall of the english language

one individual often fails to remember very important information, but nursery rhymes, esoteric charts, folk stories, are often passed through multiple centuries virtually unchanged. “hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle” may go back to the 1500s. theres a meta-social memory
