Impressive turnout for early voting for the Illinois primary on a Sunday afternoon.
Watched The Last Starfighter (1984) for the first time today. Weird waiting so long to see a hit movie from when I was in high school.
Listening to Mike Duncan talk on this week’s Revolutions episode about Russian censors and just got this picture in my head of a book of cute cat pictures, with cutesy, yet subversive, text like naming a kitten Toussaint Louverture.
Watching “I, Claudius” again due to I, Podius.
Just watched Livia’s “pep talk” to the gladiators. I want to know how she learned all the tricks they attempted.

Podcast inspired tourism.

Mom: “Leftovers, honey.”
Michael: “Leftovers from what?”
Mom: (laughs) “From the refrigerator!”
Michael: “We’ve had leftovers every day since we moved here. I’d like to know what they were before they were leftovers.”
Dad: “Well, before that, they were leftovers-to-be.”
I would love a podcast episode of Mike Duncan and Ben Thompson discussing stratechery.com/2019/the-…
