WEBVTT 00:00:01.420 --> 00:00:04.179 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:04.339 --> 00:00:08.720 Sunny Mornings in Boston.

You'll be interested 00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:18.719 to know, 42 years ago today in 1983, the United 00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.179 States space probe, Pioneer 10, became the first 00:00:22.179 --> 00:00:24.780 human -made object to leave the central solar 00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:30.140 system. Launched in 1972, Pioneer 10 journeyed 00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:33.020 through the vast expanse of space, crossing the 00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:35.420 orbit of Neptune, which at that time was the 00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:38.740 outermost planet. This remarkable achievement 00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:42.020 marked a significant milestone in space exploration, 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.820 showcasing human ingenuity and our relentless 00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:48.520 pursuit of knowledge beyond our own celestial 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.920 neighborhood. So now you know. And now, it's 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.659 time for the weather report.

In local news, Massachusetts 00:02:44.069 --> 00:02:48.330 is projected to generate nearly $3 billion from 00:02:48.330 --> 00:02:51.949 its surtax on household income exceeding $1 million. 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.520 This estimate, shared by state budget official 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.900 Matthew Gorskowicz, is more than double previous 00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:03.759 forecasts. The Department of Revenue reported 00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.860 collections of nearly $2 .6 billion from the 00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:12.800 surtax between July 1, 2024 and April 30, 2025. 00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:16.659 With May and June numbers expected to boost this 00:03:16.659 --> 00:03:20.990 total, Gorskowicz anticipates fiscal 2025 collections 00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:26.030 could reach $3 billion. Revenue from the surtax 00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:29.169 is constitutionally earmarked for education and 00:03:29.169 --> 00:03:31.930 transportation, allowing for additional spending 00:03:31.930 --> 00:03:40.150 outside the traditional budget process. Now on 00:03:40.150 --> 00:03:44.830 to sports. In an exhilarating Game 4 of the Stanley 00:03:44.830 --> 00:03:47.919 Cup Final, The Edmonton Oilers rallied from a 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.300 three -goal deficit to secure a thrilling 5 -4 00:03:51.300 --> 00:03:54.240 overtime victory against the Florida Panthers. 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.699 With just 19 seconds left in regulation, Sam 00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:01.740 Reinhart tied the game, but Leon Dreisaitl's 00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:05.159 overtime goal at 11 -18 evened the series at 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:09.180 two wins each. This marked Dreisaitl's fourth 00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:11.960 overtime goal of the postseason, setting a new 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:17.500 NHL record. Calvin Pickard, stepping in for Stuart 00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:21.120 Skinner, made 23 saves, helping the Oilers become 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.060 only the seventh team in history to overcome 00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:28.720 such a deficit in the Stanley Cup final. In local 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.360 sports. Tonight at Fenway, the Sox face the Yankees 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.819 in game one of a three -game series.

Iron is crucial for producing hemoglobin, 00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:21.639 supporting energy, brain development, and a healthy 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:25.579 immune system. Many people do not consume enough 00:05:25.579 --> 00:05:28.879 iron -rich foods, and even when they do, absorption 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.740 can vary. Common signs of deficiency include 00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:37.319 tiredness and pale skin. To combat this, consider 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.959 incorporating more iron -rich foods into your 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.860 diet. and consult your doctor if you experience 00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:48.100 unusual fatigue or symptoms.

The service will 00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:05.879 operate a fleet of Tesla Model Lays geofenced 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.620 to a limited downtown area. Concerns are rising 00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:12.699 as Tesla seeks to prevent public access to trial 00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:16.500 records. With Elon Musk's previous challenges 00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.920 in achieving full self -driving capabilities, 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.839 safety remains a significant issue. The trial 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.699 will start with 10 vehicles, gradually expanding 00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:31.560 to thousands if deemed smoothly. Meanwhile, competitors 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.060 like Waymo and Amazon's Zoox are already testing 00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:39.939 their services.

Concerns arising as 00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:08.899 Tesla seeks to prevent public access to trial 00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:12.680 records. With Elon Musk's previous challenges 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.160 in achieving full self -driving capabilities, 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.199 safety remains a significant issue. The trial 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.939 will start with 10 vehicles, gradually expanding 00:08:22.939 --> 00:08:27.980 to thousands if deemed smoothly. Meanwhile, competitors 00:08:27.980 --> 00:08:31.959 like Waymo and Amazon's Zoox are already testing 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:36.769 their services.

And XRP is down 00:08:49.169 --> 00:08:58.779 5 % to $2 .12. And in entertainment news. A significant 00:08:58.779 --> 00:09:02.639 battle is unfolding as Disney and Universal have 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.919 sued Midjourney, an emerging artificial intelligence 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:10.080 startup, for copyright infringement. This marks 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.679 the first major lawsuit of its kind targeting 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.639 the use of studios' intellectual property to 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:19.600 train AI models.

This 00:09:27.490 --> 00:09:30.049 moment reflects heightened tensions between legacy 00:09:30.049 --> 00:09:33.730 media and AI firms as Hollywood seeks compensation 00:09:33.730 --> 00:09:38.149 in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Experts 00:09:38.149 --> 00:09:40.549 suggest this action could redefine expectations 00:09:40.549 --> 00:09:44.429 for non -AI platforms and the future of content 00:09:44.429 --> 00:09:48.610 creation in the entertainment industry.

And 00:09:59.830 --> 00:10:03.330 he said, I like the dreams of the future better 00:10:03.330 --> 00:10:07.649 than the history of the past.
