I'm having a real Baader-Meinhof moment.

When I first decided to call my newsletter the muse-letter I just thought it was a clever play on words. I seem to recall doing a cursory search and not finding anything. Cool, I thought, I'm a genius! 😊

After I came across the news that Google's Area 120 was launching a newsletter service called Museletter, I now find things called this all over the place. Richard Heinberg's Museletter, for example, even goes back to 1992!

It's likely just a mix of frequency illusion mixed with cognitive bias but it always feels weird when that kind of thing happens.
