• A Geospatial Data Science Blog - Saint Michael Sword: very entertaining, but I disagree with the conclusion: it's almost certainly possible to have seven items on a line if you allow the selection of items from a vastly larger set, like, uh, churches for example. so here's a followup question: if you place buildings in Europe randomly and assign them random saint names, what's the number or buildings you need to build until you get a random set of 7 that agree as well as the ones we see here?

Books

• Oddjobs by Heide Goody: I like this sort of book, where it's a detective novel masquerading as a comedy masquerading as a fantasy horror novel. The characters are interesting, the situations and the fantasy is well-constructed and the mystery is mysterious. It has a great "Principia Mathemagica"Now here's a novel you should read, even though it is impossible to get. You'd think that, given that this is a book that exists and was buyable for some time, you'd be able to find it and retrieve a copy. But no, nowhere, impossible. vibe, and that's good. The mystery cuts off a little in the middle when everything is a dead-end, even though you can already see where it's going. The only thing that is absolutely not vibing with me is the end-times atmosphere. There's no hope, the end is inevitable and its timing unknowable. It's like Terry Pratchett would also add ICBMs to his lore, and would make it so that a mad ruler will one day send one. Only worse. So yeah. 8.6/10
