Notes on 2025W03

My birthday was this week. I’m 37, which is a pretty neat number, as it turns out.

Blue Origin launched their New Glenn rocket on Wednesday night. A very cool launch of a very large rocket.

Conversely, SpaceX launched Starship 7 and it .. blew up catastrophically and spread debris all over the Gulf of Mexico. I hate seeing the environmental and human impacts of such accidents, but it does give me small joy when Elon takes the L. 🙃

Some articles I read this week:

• The Abuser Economy
• A Secret Weapon in the Fight Against Trump: Better Public Transit

An acquaintence referred to Bunpro in a conversation we had on social media about Japanese grammar. This site has lots of detailed information about the language and how it works.
