It makes me worry about the invisible minions that are pushing the blocks into place. They only have a second, blocks are falling, how can the get it to the right numbers in time? But as soon as the numbers are legible, the blocks for the n

The sports side of college is bizarre. I think it is descended from British upper class amateur athletics, but it makes no sense in modern times. Athletics has nothing to do with education. Nothing at all. Star athletes are there only so th

I recommend Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay, which explores this concept by having a future archaeologist investigate a motel from the 20th century and arrive at extremely bizarre conclusions.

Wingspan (2019) was my favorite new (to me) game. I like that you can strategize and compete without directly getting in each other's way. It's great if you're tired of making enemies during games. Other long term favorites a
