here's the thing. the number ($250m) is for damage to his reputation. I mean, first of all this is $250m for one article. Secondly, it is hard to imagine how the hon'ble director's reputation could get $250m worse than it already is today.

2026-04-21 00:52:22 UTC

I haven't stopped snickering since I heard the $250 million number. What is it with these defamation suits? The "damage" numbers are just so surreal.
Very first grade. "You hurt my feelings! You owe me a million dollars!"

Artichokes from the front yard. No ants or aphids this year. Very happy. Hurrah for neem. Also, my pomegranate harvest looking good for this early. This is one of two trees. Will need to do some serious branch support when they start to firm.

I bought two caper bushes today. My kalamata olive tree is in the fourth year of production and I've learned to cure the olives. There's a parmesan-like cheese (aged Estero Gold) down the road in Valley Ford. Need to learn to grow my own anchovies and I'll be all set for a killer tapenade.

I know Tim's document from 37 years ago says "proposal" in the title, but I always felt it wasn't a "may I do this please" proposal but more of an announcement. "Here's what I'm doing, here's all the details, you can do it too if you want."
That's why it worked. No vaporware, rough consensus, working code, open source. The Internet way.

Let me add that it is not easy to pose such a question. It cost a half million dollars in legal help and the answer was no, just for this one question.
In addition to a huge amount of work from the Vanderbilt legal clinic, we had hundreds of thousands of pro bono work from Adams and Reese, our law firm.

Unripe fruits are perfectly round. When they are ripe, the arils swell, flattening the sides. When unripe, the skin is hard, when ripe you can scratch the surface. When it gets ripe the calyx (the things that look like petals on top) get dry.

I experienced a Sudden Unexpected Basil Harvest (SUBH) and was forced to reopen the pesto factory on an emergency posture. After 2.5 days of prep work I now have 8 quarts of destemmed basil, 2 pounds of pounded hazelnuts, 1.5 pounds of grated Estero Gold Reserve (a local Parmesan-like substance), 4 cups of parsley, 7 heads of garlic roasted and the cloves extracted, and two liters of olive oil. Ready to open the factory. Cover me, going in.

I’m in San Francisco waiting for the EFF event to start. Walking around the area, totally amazed at the number of Waymo driverless cars on the streets. Every other car in some cases.

Maybe this is going to be like the great seal? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_United_States#:~:text=The%20arrows%20and%20olive%20branch,symbolize%20a%20preference%20for%20peace. In peacetime, it is defense.gov but then you turn the eagle around the other way to war.gov. Even better than changing every single URL that people have recorded and publish is to randomly have them go back and forth.

Every single defense.gov url now redirecting into war.gov. What could possibly go wrong.

I have no special insight into the matter, but I'm betting that RFK Jr. will not receive the Nobel Prize for Medicine. Just a wild guess, I could well be wrong.

Having ripped 500 or so dvds, I was able to bring an ipad to the local bar, put myself on their wifi, and use tailscale to talk to my jellyfin server on a mac mini on the wall of my basement steps and play an episode of MASH. My own private netflix.

According to the Google AI Overview: "The statement "Finally, the medium isn't the message" was a tagline for Carl Malamud's Internet Talk Radio project, which launched in 1993. It deliberately inverts Marshall McLuhan's famous phrase, "The medium is the message," to highlight the distinct and radical nature of the early internet's effect on broadcasting." https://www.google.com/search?q=%22internet+talk+radio%22+%22medium+isn%27t+the+message%22&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS667US670&oq=%22internet+talk+radio%22+%22medium+isn%27t+the+message%22&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRirAjIHCAQQIRiPAjIHCAUQIRiPAtIBCDg5MjFqMGo0qAIBsAIB8QXXfD5pZqEV3vEF13w-aWahFd4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 That is just so backwards. Exactly not what I was talking about.

1.4b people are rolling their eyes at the idea that Trump wants India to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize for purportedly "brokering" a "peace" with Pakistan. Not to mention the shredding of our trade relationship.

Just shaking my head over and over on this article about the state of the US relationship with India. Totally screwed it up.

Here's that InteropNet movie. What people may not realize was that at the time if you wanted to put every booth in a massive convention center on the net, you needed to run a wire to each and every computer. It was a massive effort. https://archive.org/details/InteropNetMovie1993

I am just imaging the awesome power the position of Chief Design Officer of the United States must hold. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/08/improving-our-nation-through-better-design/ Can establish a new dress code for federal employees, redesign the American flag, enforce tattoo codes of decorum in our cities with assistance from the National Guard and federal law enforcement. Require red baseball caps to be worn in all federal buildings.

Luckily, the 302 DVDs are still on my desk. Don’t need to re-rip, but need to rename the files with IMDB ids in the name and put them in the right hierarchy by season and episode, subdirectories for trailers and other supplementary videos. Need to consult the packing materials to ID some of those files. The metadata should then repopulate …

Ripped 302 DVDs into 1,426 video files and booted up a jellyfin server. Because I am an experienced computer professional with decades of experience I did not read the documentation, so all of the files are named improperly.

I do like solo-psism as an extreme version of solipsism ... matches the mindset of the billionaire set. "My obsessive quest for enshitification is a result of my existential belief that I am the only person that matters."

At the Supreme Court picking up my visitor pass. Because I’m a foreigner they sent me to the differently abled window. I brought Andhra style red chili pickles for the justices. Security seemed ok with that, was a bit worried they would object.

Internet stopped working, I went down to the front desk to make sure they were on it. Duty manager said he'd call me when it was working. I tried to explain "ping -a" to him, said I'd know before he did when it was working. He kept insisting he'd call me. Concierge knows what I do, was cracking up.

On my last trip, I brought a bunch of chutneys and pickles for the cooks in the hotel. On this visit, they sent a boatload of snacks and sweets up to my room like spicy dried banana chips and murukku (chickpea flour snacks). My friend Athula sent a tub of spiced rice, some mango/coconut pachadi, some okra pachadi, and a fantastic spicy puffed rice namkeen. Eat your heart out.
