I had a thought as I was going to bed last night, I tweeted it but neglected to post it elsewhere:
Bedtime podcast idea: "Murder, They Wrote" which alternates between discussing episodes of Murder, She Wrote and Castle.

I just abandoned a blog post this morning where I was trying to answer the question, "At what point in history did the world's computing power surpass the processing power of the computer in my pocket?"
It's an interesting question, but one which is not straightforward to answer and required too many steps of abstraction or assumption for me to feel like what I was saying was particularly interesting or, honestly, correct.

Jamelle Bouie is one of the TikTok accounts I follow where I try to watch almost everything he posts. He's a contributor for the New York Times, and he addresses political and world topics in a very thoughtful way. This video is part of a series responding to a video by another TikToker who puts forward the idea that the Democratic party now only exists to lose to Republicans in service to corporate funder's demands.
Been making good use of the new machine. Logged four hours of BG3 yesterday and another hour today. I switched for a while to Rocket League which I am very rusty at but which is still great fun.
Now to do some chores and projects.
"Rudy Giuliani must pay election workers $148 million for defamation"
Former Trump campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to pay a staggering $148 million to two former Georgia election workers he spread lies about following the 2020 election.
The decision comes at the end of a week-long federal civil trial in Washington D.C., where an eight-person jury heard from the workers — Wandrea "Shaye" Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman — about how 2020 election conspiracies spread by Giuliani and former President Donald Trump turned their lives upside down.
There was a diplomatic network between Australia, India, Japan and the United States
The "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue" originally launched in 2007, it fell apart in 2008 when Australia removed itself. It was reborn in 2017 under Trump for purposes of countering China's growing influence.
I don't recall hearing about it before, it came up in an article discussing the U.S.-India relations, so I went and looked it up.
