Death looked at the chess board, and his fallen king.
"Ah. I should have guarded that better."
The cat shifted its paw slightly, and slowly, without breaking eye contact, pushed the piece over the edge.
"I will see you another time."
The cat yawned, flicked its tail, and left.

Well done, Samantha Cristoforetti!

Here's a decent Science article about the impending start of the third of the LHC's five planned particle-physics-search runs. It has a lot of tantalizing (if you are on the side of misery and dispair) speculation the "Desert Scenario" has begun, but then it admits three solid candidates for finding new physics in the next LHC run after an entire article of saying the LHC has no chance to find new physics. https://www.science.org/content/article/ten-years-after-higgs-physicists-face-nightmare-finding-nothing-else

Complaining about Google
You know how people get promotions for writing new chat apps there? I'm starting to suspect that the same is true for reskinning/refreshing the default alarm/timer app on Android.
