The Dog of War today is Max, who we spotted after a bowl of pho with friends last evening.
Stay safe out there!
This week on the @sweatpantstech Pod, @bradshoemaker and I welcome @AstroKatie to talk about cosmology and astrophysics, the possible ends of the universe, and a whole lot more.

We're delighted to be joined this week by Katie Mack, noted astrophysicist and author of The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking), to talk about, well, how to think about the end of all existence, along with a bunch of other cosmological topics like the new research being enabled by the JWST, ingenious ways of using astronomical objects to study other astronomical objects, the programming languages astrophysicists use, the shocking truth about chalkboards versus dry erase, and more.

It is odd though. We requested a dog and this appears to be a panther. /cc @darth
