    I wonder if there's been any research on why being freaked out over an optical illusion is so enjoyable: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/neuroskeptic/2017/12/08/curvature-blindness-illusion/

    I _always_ regret eating potato crisps. But there's something about seeing a little paper tag on a supermarket shelf saying "50% off" that makes me think "Ooh! Half-price regret! Bargain!"

    1. Target Books to Return!
      By whotopiamagazine from GLITTER GUNS and LASER BEAMS

      Ready for some extremely exciting news? It appears that Doctor Who serials from the 2005- present era of the show will be novelized in a similar fashion to the classic Target books!

      It’s a day many of us never thought would come, but Penguin Books has revealed that four “NuWho” stories – plus City of Death, starring the Fourth Doctor and Romana II – will be released in early 2018. The stories being adapted are Rose; The Christmas Invasion; The Day of the Doctor; and Twice Upon A Time, as well as City of Death, one of the only Classic Who tales to have never been included in the original Target library.

      Target books were novelisations, available in hardback but perhaps more widely in paperback, of Doctor Who serials, adding new depths to stories and, for many years, being the only way fans could relive episodes before the days of VHS and DVDs.

      This news comes via Penguin’s Australian website which further teases that Rose will be adapted from the original script by Russell T. Davies; The Christmas Invasion by Jenny Colgan; and The Day of the Doctor and Twice Upon A Time by Steven Moffat. We expect City of Death to be a reprinted version of James Goss’ 2015 book.

    I'm working on an album of grammatically-corrected #Beatles covers. Includes classics like "I Can't Buy Love", "I Feel Strongly Inclined to Hold Your Hand", "Might You Spare Me a Moment of Your Time Jude", and mercifully not many more.

    1. BREAKING: Poison Attack on Thousands of Americans.
      from Daily Kos
      Thousands of American children have been poisoned. Thankfully, the US wasted no time in responding and….oh no--wait, they did. My bad.  Cuz it’s just Flint: All of Flint’s 8,657 children under the age of six should be considered exposed,...
