Good Morning. A lot happened yesterday, grab your coffee, reading glasses and get ready for your morning aggregation. Here we go:
Prime Minister Mistake
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed he wore brown-face in 2001, apologized for it, and asked the Canadian People to forgive him for his mistake.
She Blinded Me With Science
Swedish Teen Climate Activist Greta Thunberg testified before Congress yesterday, but said it's not her that lawmakers should be listening to. Thunberg urged members of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis to unite behind the science and listen what the scientists say rather than her and fellow activists. Thunberg has also previously been quoted as saying she doesn't want praise from our policymakers, but action.
Middle Out?
Thomas Middleditch told Playboy that swinging saved his marriage. Silicon Valley's genius-geek says he can't say too much about him and wife Mollie Gates non-traditional marriage for fear that she will get mad at him, but wants everyone to know it's no longer called swinging, but part of the lifestyle.
Cats Like Football Too?
A California Couple had their late night TV watching interrupted by a mountain lion appearing in their living room and then eventually resting in the bathroom. Fortunately everyone ended safe, but we think that the cat was just a day early for Thursday Night Football so it could watch its fellow felines the Jaguars take on the Titans. Remember, you can always stream games for free on the Yahoo Sports App.
That's it for the morning, check back again later for an afternoon aggregation.

Aggregation Report - Evening Edition 5/3/2016
Happy Tuesday Night, this is you evening aggregation.
You're Fired
The big news of the day is the Indiana primary and although Donald Trump is expected to win, Ted Cruz spoke his mind about what he really feels about his competition. Cruz said that Trump was "immoral" and a "pathological liar". It's unlikely that Cruz's true feelings will have much of an impact on the voting today.
No Silver Medal
Today Sheldon Silver, former speaker of the NYS Assembly, was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Mr. Silver was convicted of pleading guilty to corruption charges.
Radiogram
Radiohead released a new song directly to Instagram today, "Burn the Witch.". The band had previously deleted all of their social media posts before releasing the song directly to the video and photo sharing site.
Burger Time
Spotify's new iOS update will no longer feature the nefarious hamburger menu button. The hamburger menu button has long been lambasted by designers as a "junk drawer" and a poor user experience, but until fairly recently that hadn't stopped most mobile sites and apps featuring just such a button.

Your Morning Aggregation Report - 5/3/2016
Good Morning, you're looking for some aggregated news and we have it. Sit back, relax and click away here's your Aggreation Report:
Three Little Planets
Researchers have discovered three planets that they believe are Earth-like in that they could possibly support life. These planets orbit a smaller, dimmer, and cooler star and two of them appear to be tidally locked with their star. Of interest, these planets are close enough to study closely, but still so far away that there is no hope for an expedition there.
OKC You in OKC
The Oklahoma City Thunder evened up their series with the San Antonio Spurs despite some questionable refereeing in the closing seconds of the game. Dion Waiters, of the Thunder, appeared to push Manu Ginobli of the Spurs while Waiters was attempting to in-bounds the ball. Of less discussion is how the Spurs still ended up with the ball and a 3 on 1 situation, but still couldn't close out the game. The series now moves to OKC.
Who Knows Nothing Now?
Jon Snow may know nothing, but Kit Harrington knows how to apologize to his fans. On Sunday, Harrington issued an apology for lying to his fans and saying for 10 months that Jon Snow was dead. Vox.com offers a thorough breakdown of what happened in the Game of Thrones this past Sunday.
Another Day, Another Primary
Donald Trump looks to pick up another victory in the Indiana primary today. Some people have called this the last stand of the #nevertrump movement and others have said this is the first time the a primary in Indiana has ever meant anything. ABC News has a few things to watch for here.

Morning Aggregation Report 4/1/2016
No joke, this is your morning Aggregation Report. Drink some coffee, read some news.
Elon Musk and Tesla unveiled the long anticipated Model 3 last night and set a new record for pre-orders. This latest edition will retail at $35,000 and have a range of 215 miles at a charge. As the other Tesla's have before it, the model 3 has gotten the highest safety ratings.
Looks like Starwood and Marriott will merge after all. Anbang in China has abandoned its $14 billion dollar bid to acquire Starwood, which makes their merger with Marriott more of a certainty.
Facebook dominates the internet. New figures from comScore shows that when it comes to reach and frequency, there are no sites like Facebook. This shouldn't really be news to anyone, especially when reports came out last year indicating that more people identified as Facebook users than Internet users.
Jon Snow knows math. Andrew Beveridge and Jie Shan are better at math than us and they've crunched the numbers: Jon Snow is the most important character in Westeros.
Finally, today is April Fools day. Why is it, exactly? Vox has an explanation on the date.
Thanks for reading, come back tomorrow for another morning Aggreation Report.
