Today, I ran an experiment on a search engine. I have seen the Joss Whedon show “Firefly”, and for some reason the word “Saffron” came to mind. Thus, the character “Saffron” came to mind, but I could not remember the weird mash-up Captain Mal calls her. I remembered it started with “Yosaf”, so I started entering that into the search engine. The engine provided, and brought “Yosaffbridge” as the first suggestion.

Apparently, some police in your world have found a novel way of “dealing” with drug dealers. They take tips from others, looking to eliminate the competition.

Recently, a professor’s extra credit question on an exam has been making the rounds. I highly approve of this question, and do not think it cruel at all. It is an excellent study in game theory, and I would greatly enjoy seeing the data on this. It would be further interesting to analyze whether or not there were differences (in general) from students who did better or worse in the class over all.

I am postponing the Webmaster’s current plans for today’s post, in light of a very interesting update from the franchise of “The Hunger Games”.
In case you were not aware– starting with one of the earlier movies, the studio producing the Hunger Games movies put out a series of “in-universe” propaganda videos. (They were presented as though the propaganda was to members of the Hunger Games world. It was very effective for those who were familiar with the universe.)
Yesterday, there was a new propaganda video released.
What I found especially fantastic, (in addition to it pointing out the theoretical implications of how District 13 may be turning into a “Capitol Look-Alike”) was the subversion of the Mockingjay symbol.
For those of you who do not remember, this is what the transition from the book “Catching Fire” to “Mockingjay” looked like:
If you look at the end of the new propaganda piece, you should notice that now the Mockingjay’s “wings” have turned into the soldiers of war.

Yesterday, as I am sure you are aware, was The United States’ independence day.
In honor of your holiday, I watched “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit”. It was about a CIA operative. However, much of the movie took place in Russia. It seemed oddly appropriate for the Fourth of July, and I enjoyed it.
How about you? Did you do anything special for the USA’s holiday?

These past few days, I have been what I believe your world calls “binge-watching” the Netflix show Daredevil. Last night, I finished what was available.
I really enjoyed the show. It was interesting, had deeper ideas to think about, and yet was still basically a superhero show.
One thing I especially appreciated about it is that the season finale did not leave a pointlessly stupid cliffhanger as a come-on for the next season. It was open-ended enough for me to be anticipating the next season, but did not do so by throwing any of the infuriating “curve-balls” that some other shows (such as Once Upon a Time) have. Furthermore, the characters were generally fairly consistent.
I rather recommend this show.*
Have a great day!
*Please note, this is a rather more violent and gory show than many. If such things bother you, you probably do better not watching Daredevil.

This is a slightly belated post. However, it is still potentially reasonable.
Apparently, there was an artist on your world named Escher. He did some rather bizarre (and neat) architectural style paintings and such. Apparently, if he were still alive, it would have been his birthday a few days ago.

As you may be aware, a new Jurassic Park movie came out relatively recently.
In honor of that, some talented artist created a series of pictures done in the style of “Velociraptors as Disney Princesses“. It is a rather amusing concept.

This post might not normally qualify as “fluff”, since it is not a particularly fluffy post.
Nope. It is here to inform you that there is a movie called “The Stanford Prison Experiment” is coming out this summer. A trailer for it was posted a few days ago.
As a warning, you might find it a bit disturbing.
Now, as an explanation: This movie is based on a real incident. The Stanford Prison Experiment actually happened. This is, in fact, one of the main reasons why researchers in your world now need to fill out “Institute Review Board” applications for permission to do their experiments involving human subjects.
What I find interesting is that this is an infamous piece of research, and it is being turned into a movie. That is, a piece of academia is coming to theaters.
