I started reading the Atlantic because, whenever things seem going of the rails, there's always a someone there who would give a level-headed assessment of the situation and what can be done about it.

I wonder if it's going to come in cute pink packaging.

@TandyQ Awesome cover. I read this at first as 'Crimson Divide' and when I realized I made a mistake I thought to myself -- this is a good name too. But it sound more 1980s fiction than 1960s and 1970s.

@Gargron @jenn There's an app for that -- https://github.com/cbbrowne/tpp
