3i/atlas, trash pandas as pets, and ariana grande

It's a Sunday afternoon podcast check-in! I'm sharing the saga of my very clingy cat, Sydney, who just wants to nap on my laptop all day, plus the early morning cat alarm clock that got my day started. In the news: we look at the strange FBI investigation shaking up California politics, the wild idea that poetry can 'jailbreak' AI, and how raccoons are getting domesticated in the city. I also share a personal and important discussion on recent news about a celebrity's transformation, which leads to a candid talk about my own history with eating disorders and how childhood trauma can affect self-worth.
