Holy shit, the Mariners: At this point, I'm basically obligated to tell you that the Mariners are doing... incredibly? They're 13-2, have broken the record for home run streaks (they've had home runs in each of their 15 games so far this year). I haven't watched a full game (please do not skewer me), but I've been shown the highlights from each game. That counts, right? Anyway, I'm happy for you, Mariners fans. Keep knocking on that wood.

SeaTac Airport's parking lot is full: As you'll recall, SeaTac Airport has the second largest parking lot in the world. Well, all of it is fucking full so go park your cars elsewhere. The airport is saying it's because local schools are on spring break and that's what's filled the 12,000 spaces in their parking garage. Off-site lots are also full. How many of you people drive to the airport???

Uber is ready to IPO: The ride share service has filed its IPO prospectus, a month after its competitor Lyft went public. It reported $11.27 billion in 2018 revenue, a 42 percent increase from 2017.

Speaking of terrible news: David Bernhardt was confirmed by the Senate as the Interior Department secretary on Thursday. He's a former oil lobbyist. Bernhardt has been the acting head of the department since Ryan Zinke's exit from the role in January. Berhnhardt allegedly keeps a list of people he used to work for and recusals in his pocket so as not to commit any conflict of interests. It's apparently a very long list.

Sen. Patty Murray introduces Digital Equity Act: Murray wants to fill the gaps of digital access and education in our country.

NASA's twin study has some weird results: NASA wanted to know what effects space travel has on the human body. They used some twins to figure it out. One pair, Scott and Mark Kelly, were split up; Scott went to space, Mark remained on earth. They each conducted tests on their body (blood samples, urine samples, you get the idea). But, when Scott got home, NASA noticed some weird shit had changed: he had unknown species of bacteria in his microbiome, new genes were activated in him, and his cells appeared to be... getting younger. Then, when he returned to earth, some of the changes seemed to disappear. NASA doesn't know what any of it means, really.
