She likes to climb and she's made herself a little nest on top of my fridge. RIP my Flour Jar. She's also claimed my ENTIRE couch. The other three cats are holding the line at keeping her out of my bedroom though.
She doesn't sit still very much, so I've had a hell of a time getting a decent picture of her.

This is EXTREMELY out of left field, but it's fascinating to me, a long form interview with minimalist composer Steve Reich, about his well known (for people who like late 20th century classical music, anyway) piece Different Trains. It's from a podcast called Song Exploder, which most often spends around 40 minutes examining a single three minute song. Song Exploder is something my partner really likes. Y'all might like it as well.

Song Exploder is great. It has also been very helpful in getting friends more into music by understanding the production side.

If you were at all worried if the RAM crisis is a real thing or not, I just traded a G. Skill 2x32GB DDR5-6400 kit that I think I paid about $150 for a year ago for an Asus TUF RTX5070 Ti.

It's been announced a new Trump Tower will be built in Australia on the Gold Coast, and will be the tallest building in Australia. (well not quite, another building which has also just been approved will be taller, which itself will be located just a few kilometres from this proposed Trump Tower).
Partitions and campaigns have already started to halt/stop the approval process for this property development. The local council and state authorities have both denied that the development applications have been submitted at this stage, so this seems more like a concept of a plan, than something that has actually been approved by the relevant authorities.

It's pretty easy to get heavily discounted rate at Trump Tower Chicago. I've been known to use rooms there for affordable (sub-$100) photo shoots . Normally I hate working in hotel rooms but it's a very tall building with great views on every side, so sometimes it works for me.
Eventually, the building will get sold to someone else. It's just a building, and it's not like anyone else who owns skyscrapers is some kind of paragon of virtue.
I found this Youtube video about the University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt, which happens every year around Mother's Day weekend. Scav is absolute insanity, because the teams are full of extremely talented, driven people who will make things happen to complete the list, up to and including construction of a working breeder reactor.

Storage is especially nice if it doesn't rotate
An Ugly Building in a Beautiful City Gets a Much-Debated Makeover.The Tour Montparnasse is one of Paris’s least-loved landmarks. After half a century, it’s finally being remodeled.
It's Paris' only skyscraper, and I loved the joke that the best view in Paris is from the observation deck on the tower’s 56th floor because that’s only place where one can’t see it.
