Just a modest seasoning

The 365-day year has been subdivided a number of ways over time; the current 12 months of not-quite-uniform length with exceptions every 4 and every 100 years is undoubtedly messy. The French revolutionary calendar had 12 30-day months plus a 5 (or presumably 6) day "intercalary" period, but even that feels suboptimal.

Clearly the correct solution is five 73-day months. At least then the only variance is the leap year.

A modest proposal about popes...

So, another pope has died and his ashes will soon be emitted from the chimney on the Sistine Chapel. It is time to select a new pope.

But the pope has presided over a seemingly endless series of scandals for generations. They keep electing new popes, but the problems never go away. Why can't they solve these problems?

Looking for commonalities among all the popes of the last century or so, one stood out to me: they're all Catholic!

Maybe they should try choosing a nice Unitarian, or perhaps a Wiccan? They'd have at least as good a chance of solving the problems as the last umpteen Catholic popes. Maybe even better.

It's worth a shot.

Did… did no one think through the name of this Apple Arcade game before announcing the launch? No one? Bueller?

there's always that one person who ruins things for the rest of us, which is why I propose simply finding that one person and throwing them into the sea
