Slept from midnight to eleven!
Woke briefly once in the night.
High of fifty-one (!) today, with a 30% chance of rain.
Goals:
- Move old blog posts to new blog
Done.
Watched some of the new Netflix _Haunting of Hill House_.
Vacuumed, put away dishes, tidies a little.
Forty-five-minute walk in the afternoon.
Feels too warm for winter.
Tromped through Beverly Park.
The pond has mostly unfrozen.
Saw a pair of morning doves and a blue jay.

> After working his way through Besa Mafia’s messages, Monteiro had proof he was right about the site being a scam – but that was little consolation. “It was a fully functioning operation,” he says. “People had been buying it.”
> And there was a flipside to the scam: the message archive was essentially a kill list – of targets, of conflicts, and instigators. Of people who other people wanted to kill. Yura had no hitmen to deploy, Monteiro thought, but what if some of the website’s customers decided to take matters into their own hands, and kill their target themselves? Could this archive be evidence – or even be used to pre-empt murders?
> In January 2017 Allwine – aka Dogdaygod – was charged with his wife’s murder. In court, prosecutors pointed to a series of affairs – and the fact that Stephen was the only beneficiary of Amy’s $700,000 life insurance policy – as probable motives. Allwine was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in February 2018.
> Monteiro says that he was devastated when Allwine was arrested. Up to that point, the idea that he could have saved lives – that the kill list he had been frantically trying to hand to law enforcement had a portentous power – had essentially been a thought experiment.
