I hear some folks are adjusting their phone’s color settings to grayscale to reduce their addiction to their devices.
A rare convergence of four powerful waves at one exact point & time.

I wonder how our power grid is going to account for all of this.
Holiday splurge: Google, Facebook to spend $1.4B on Texas data center construction this month
The big names are going big: Meta is adding a $197M facility in Temple. Google has an $880M build in Midlothian and a $350M project in Haskell.
The most expensive of these projects all year is in Midlothian, just south of Dallas/Fort Worth, where Google has budgeted $880 million for a one-story, 288,000-square-foot data center.
And in Haskell, Google began work on a $350 million, 350,000-square-foot project this month. It’s the company’s second data center project in the area, following plans for a 280,000-square-foot building filed earlier this year.
Cloud computing company CoreWeave and Poolside, a Nvidia-backed startup, are planning a 500-acre data center named Horizon. Capitalizing on the promise of cheap power offered by the Permian Basin’s oil and natural gas reserves.
I know DeWalt makes great battery-powered tools, but I had no idea they also make wireless earbuds.
Yesterday, I found out that all the Knives Out movie series are named after songs that writer and director Rian Johnson and his music composer cousin Nathan Johnson find meaningful to them. This is what the latter told U2.com:
‘Ever since I was a kid in Colorado, my interest has constantly tipped back and forth between sonic and visual artistry. Add to that the fact that I grew up deeply entrenched in church culture, and it’ll be clear why U2 connected with me in such a formative and multi-layered way.’
‘I’ve just finished composing the score for the third Benoit Blanc film, which was written and directed by my cousin and lifelong collaborator Rian Johnson. Each of these movies takes its title from a song that’s been meaningful to us in one way or another. First, there was Knives Out (Radiohead), followed by Glass Onion (the Beatles), and now Wake Up Dead Man (tucked away at the end of U2’s Pop).The new film wrestles with questions of faith and doubt, much like my favorite U2 music, and so, in light of the movie’s release, I’m honored to share my very own U2 playlist.’
After Brigitte Bardot’s death earlier this week, in Billy Joel’s song We Didn’t Start The Fire, there are only three people mentioned who are still alive. Bob Dylan, Chubby Checker, and Bernard Goetz.
I’ll admit, I didn’t know much about Bardot other than her beauty, but I had no idea she was a terrible mother. She rejected her son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier, due to her deep-seated resentment of motherhood, feeling she wasn’t cut out to be a parent and viewing her pregnancy as a burden, famously calling her unborn son a “cancerous tumor” and wishing for a dog instead, leading to a fractured relationship and years of estrangement.
