Sad to hear that Jim Lovell has died. I was privileged to hear him talk about his life and experiences a few years ago, and he signed this artwork that I have up on the living room wall, an artist's impression of what the Apollo 13 mission might have looked like. Godspeed, Commander.

As I was drifting off to sleep last night, the semi-dreamlike state I was in started taunting me with wordplay. Specifically, "a quidditch quid in a ditch on a quidditch pitch". AI has provided me with a helpful illustration of this for your entertainment. Also, 3 Ds? #quidditch
