Mayor Pete

He’s been accused of sexual assault.

I’m no fan, but (unlike the Left) I’ll wait to see how credible the accusation is before I render judgment. For instance, did he tell anyone else at the time?

[Tuesday-morning update]

OK, looks like it was a hoax, and I was right to be skeptical. This is probably actionable, even though he’s a public figure, because it was clearly done with malice.

Upgrading Phones

A record number of people are waiting to do it.

Apple, Samsung et al are coming up with new models faster than the demand for them. I’m happy with the Moto G6 I bought for a couple hundred bucks a year or two ago. I don’t see any features in the newer ones that I can’t live without. Of course, I see my cell phone as an evil necessity, not something integrated into my existence. I often forget to take it with me when I go out of the house, and only use it in the house when I need to text.
