This game manages to still have some challenge without going for the obscure words.

it's weird listening to stories from Ukrainians right now. I'm not sure if this is essentially sympathetic coverage to prepare citizens for war or if these are just genuinely sympathetic stories worth hearing. I also kind of hate that I can be this jaded.

certainly some sparks. unfortunately, the plenary is a day long and I have to work :(

I'll try to post the recording when it's posted.

listening to the US Copyright Office "Technical Measures" opening plenary discussion

It's weird zoom's automatic transcription can't consistently distinguish speakers at transitions - it should be able to run separately on each stream and get the attribution right basically 100% of the time... Though maybe there's a problem with the mics capturing output from speakers.

there's something about seeing where the point at which you consciously register having seen something can follow your actually seeing. like when you're trying to think of a term and you're scanning pages in a book and you suddenly remember the thing you were trying to recall because it's on the page, but you couldn't necessarily say that you saw it on the page or where on the page.

I don't see why the #Olympic womens' figure skating medal ceremony should be delayed for everyone. couldn't they have just not awarded the gold yet, since that's in doubt, then reaward after the case is worked out

for some reason, this made me think of a scene in Octavia Butler's "Dawn" (I think it was dawn anyway) where the main character drops an orange on the ground and it starts to damage the environment. naturally, if your world was a living ship, you would know not to "pollute" living systems by mixing them in an uncontrolled way. in some ways though, our world really is a living ship that we should think of caring for in that way. some do, but it's not taught as widely because we've gotten to pretend the world is virtually boundless for so long.

The dough for this also had a relatively long time to proof: I started it in the mid-afternoon and let it sit, first in a warming drawer, then at room temp, then in the fridge overnight. I credit that with giving the bread a lot of its flavor: there's a bit of sour that I like that I generally don't detect for a shorter proof.
