Hearing graduates boo AI at their commencement is great, but my spark of hope has been reignited by Harrison Ford’s commencement speech at my alma mater. Good job on this one, ASU. https://youtu.be/GtFiQsrxWGU?si=PXfKv0nzrqQRjEUh

Love this Wirecutter review of cat beds, as tested by a panel of 25 cats. And, yes, there are photos of the cats during testing. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-cat-beds/?smid=nytcore-ios-share
I love writing object oriented code libraries for simulating natural materials and processes. You get to create objects like Star(), create objects like Planet.from_star(), and retrieve properties like get_gravity(). It makes one feel so powerful.
```
sol = Star()
terra = Planet.from_star(Sol)
g = terra.get_gravity(units=‘m/s2’)
print(g)
```

Anyone else watch murder shows and feel disappointed in the murderer when they fuck up? Jessica, why did you bring your phone with you to his house, you know the cops can track that, girl. Jessica, you kept the receipt in your car? Are you serious??
Watching Dateline, and they’re showing what the murderer googled the day before the murder. My brain: “I want to know what comes up if you google ‘how to get away with murder’ but what if there is a murder tomorrow and the cops see my search history???”
Your moment of zen: this street in Pelham, New York.
Watching Dateline again. The kid left his phone at home and even used an app to delay-send texts to create an alibi that he was at home at the time of the murder. But kept the spool of the rope he used to tie her to a cinder block. Police found it right next to a cinder block-shaped depression on the side of his house.

A 10-day lunar flyby test mission taking humans much farther than we have ever been from the Earth.
The official NASA live feed has begun, but we won’t see much action for a few hours.

Apparently the Zombocom domain lapsed and someone new bought it and is honoring it in the spirit of the original. The new song slaps. They’re looking for the original creators so they can restore the original Zombo content. If you have not visited Zombocom before, know that you are welcome. WELCOME! To Zombocom.
