I've got so much respect for Anthony Hamilton seeking Hadjar out to console him after his pre-race crash. These guys prepare all their lives for the chance to race in F1. I'm glad Hamilton was able to offer him words of encouragement during what was a devastating moment.

The Gävle Goat in Sweden is a Yule goat figure erected every year since 1966, and every year the people try to find a way to burn it down. They have a live 24/7 feed where you can watch the goat. 42 out of 58 goats have been destroyed or damaged in some way.

When the Parcel Post started, some parents used it to mail there kids to relatives. In 1913, an 8-month-old baby in Ohio was mailed by his parents to his grandmother who lived a few miles away. The baby was insured for $50. 😂

Can't wait to see him again next year at Ferrari.

I am using this thread to gain more ideas of things to look into! 😂 #EduSkyChat

A2: I am using ChatGPT, various AI tools, and Notion. I find they can help in unique ways. I am in higher ed research administration and ChatGPT has been wonderful in providing summaries. I am building out several GPT for specific functions. #EduSkyChat

I wonder if this is a precursor of what is to come. It scares me.

If Trump's first administration was stocked with Bond Villains, it seems like the second one is going with more of a Legion of Doom vibe.

I know I need to remind myself of this from time to time.💙📚

If I’m wandering around the house, I may be looking for something I’ve lost.

Or I may be the something that’s lost.

FYI if you're using the Pins feed, it's running behind since ~November 14th, 2024.

I don't have capacity to handle it right now, but I'll get to fixing it when I've got a chance in the next few days/weeks. The huge new influx of users and activity has been very exciting but my poor systems are sad.

Becky Chambers is one of my favorite authors. I've read "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" and "A Prayer for the Crown-Shy" three times over the past year. They are a calm read that also allow for self-reflection. 💙📚

My SO and this little guy are having beef right now over the new cat litter. My cat doesn't like change. I think he is going to win in the end.

Anyone else always trying to organize and figure out new ways of doing things? Obsidian and now Notion for me. I love learning new things, but man is it exhausting sometimes.

I am rewatching Star Trek: Voyager right now. It is my happy place. Well, that and Stargate: SG-1 and The West Wing.
