With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

That small dot moving left to right is 3I/ATLAS.
It's a comet that was discovered on 1 July 2025.
It's travelling at 58 km PER SECOND and isn't gravitationally bound to the Sun.
Which means you're looking at a comet that formed around another star, passing through the Solar System.

My navy loses a fleet of ships to a country without a navy.
My air force loses 40+ bombers in a morning to a country without an air force
My army controls less of Ukraine now than it did 3 years ago.
But we're winning.

Don't know how I missed seeing this amazing image of the Intuitive Machines IM-2 lander on its side on the Moon in March with Earth over the horizon.
What an incredible shot. Straight out of Kerbal.

The weight on his shoulders is more than just the heavy armor or the worn backpack.
It’s the weight of a nation’s hope. Of families praying. Of children waiting.
It’s the weight of freedom, dignity, and the future.
And yet — he stands tall.
Because he knows: Ukraine must live. 💙💛

That is a dog bed we bought from petsmart.
Vet guesses he's 7 months old in the pic.
He gained a pound a month Every month after.
He was absolute hell on wheels for his sisters. He and Rose are tight, but not grooming now.
He and I are inseparable.

A little over 2 years ago Barry joined our family. This is the first pic of him I am ok sharing. He was dirty, scared, and emaciated. I remember this moment, looking down to my right and he was passed out. He was beautify, safe, and well on his way to not being emaciated.

I'm locked in, killing bugs and fixing issues, but Barry has other ideas. He's very interested in my 3d printing detritus trash can, so I've tried to put it out of temptations reach till I can properly deal with it. He's a terror sometimes.
