Listen folks, this is your friend the Weather Guy, a.k.a. Thunder King. I want you to Crtl+S, stand up from your computer, put on some sweet flair and go have a magical Houseparties evening with your best buds. But don't go wearing fewer than 10 pieces of flair or you'll look like an idiot. Fraternal order swag is best ... your depth chart should go Club of Rome, Order of St. Germain, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Knights of Columbus, Elks, Kiwanis Club, Moose. Check yourself, lest you wreck yourself.
And remember juniors, while the Honor Code specifies that no other person can write your JP, that doesn't mean you can't call on Air Bud. As "Air Bud IX: Barkademic Probation" reminds us, there's no rule a dog can't write a JP. So, take the weekend off and enjoy today's nearly perfect weather, with full sun, highs around 70 and a clear night dropping into the 40s. Saturday, while some watch the Kentucky Derby and sip mint juleps and others with more X-treme lifestyles pound Gatorade Fierce Melon juleps to get the electrolytes they crave, expect more of the same.

I for one am already looking forward to next year's Monsters of Animatronic Rock-themed festivities, which feature headliners Rocket the Rockin' Rooster and the Chuck E. Cheese Street Band, along with the Country Bear Jamboree. ROCK.

Senior class jacket abruptly changed following accusations of AI design
Vitus LarrieuFor more than a century, Princeton seniors have donned “beer jackets” to protect their clothes during Reunions and commencement celebrations, typically with elaborate designs chosen by a class-wide contest. Now, with a selection process marred by accusations of generative AI use, the Class of 2026 may have written its own spot in Princeton history.
