Every time I see a metro ad for Peraton (something military?) I think of Peryton (fabulated mythical beast that signals the fall of empires).

Taylor Swift announces next album title: The Queen in Yellow. She told Variety: "A few years back I came across this amazing play and I was so inspired. It's been living in my head for years. I even dream of it, of the city in the play."

To be sure, I say this from genuine curiosity. I spend a lot of time thinking about the math component but then "is it good" is mostly "try it and see."

I'm not sure if those were all collected in one place, so if it's unclear what we mean, they added one issue to the end of a bunch of "dead" series featuring those characters' reactions to Blackest Night, similar to that other crossover event giving everyone an extra "issue #0."

Blackest Night was my intro to DC! Finding all those scattered "last issues" of titles I'd never heard of was somehow really exciting, even though I mostly had no idea what was going on.

I don't know who might need this, but the CFPB's "Your Home Loan Toolkit" booklet looks really useful. I'd recommend reading through it before you're in the middle of it.

I think many people would! But it's not clear that their infrastructure supports it. There's no user accounts, no way to suggest tags or categories, etc. I'd consider user input part of a complete solution.
