This one was whimsical and more in my comfort zone with building with coils. Minimum expectation was for 20” tall.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.
The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.
This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Deborah Rutter was fired this week after a decade as president of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
She says the center worked hard to expand its audience by broadening the programming, inviting "all manner of arts and artists to our stages. ... I pray that that can be sustained."
