A master.

I had a great idea for a TV show, President Bartlett is reflecting upon his time in office and flashbacks to how he handled certain situations. The West Wing: The Bartlett years.

Yup and it's awesome.
Have you tried Guided Learning in Google Gemini?
It's a pretty cool way to use AI that helps you to learn the material and not just tell you the answer.

It feels like Fuck You, Make Me should be documented as a @surf.social feed.

Making a petition for @jimmykimmel.com @stephenathomes.bsky.social to bring this back and give us all a reason to smile.

Notice anything different about Google Slides?

The selection box now has corner circles and side handles. Even better: resizing multiple objects scales borders and text proportionally. No more fixing after shrinking or enlarging! #EduSky #EdTech #GoogleEdu

Alex Palou - what a season. Schumacher 2004. Verstappen 2023. Palou 2025. Three of the best and their legacy cementing seasons #skyindycar @tomgaymor.bsky.social

I get rubbin' is racin' but Rasmussen is overly aggressive at times. I just feel this season he's been building to a serious incident. That's got to be a DQ or a race ban. What's the guidance in these circumstances @tomgaymor.bsky.social #skyindycar

An odd moment that the surgeon made a mistake in the fast six yesterday. I feel that the only thing it will do is make him steely determined to seal his 4th. The record books are opened... #skyindycar @tomgaymor.bsky.social we have seen a season

I wonder if it's a matter of if not when Malukas is signed as Powers replacement. I feel a driver of his calibre would know or at least have an inkling.

Growing up, I was a fan of early spaceflight. The original 7 & new 9 were heroes, but to me one stood above the rest. #JimLovell.

To be one of the first to travel to the Moon on Apollo 8, to the ill-fated mission of Apollo 13 - he visited twice but never set foot on the surface.

Godspeed

I mean, I get that corporations need to make money but what about their public perception. You're not going to make money by alienating your user base (I'm one of them. Shifted from iPhone in January because of this shift) and placating to a dictator.

I see confusing race control calls aren't just an F1 occurrence. #skyindycar

Seriously Palou, heart in my stomach but what an amazing pass. I've said it before, these types of Indycar seasons happen once in a lifetime. Reminds me of Max and his 2023 season. #skyindycar

Right @tomgaymor.bsky.social last week was hectic - can this be the week for a shout-out!? Spent the weekend educating my 14y old about the significance of the corkscrew and eau rouge and why having them on the same weekend is my Christmas and birthday rolled into one.

Now that's a top 3 I can get behind #montereyGP #skyindycar
July 26, 2025 at 7:43 PM
Seriously #skysportsF1 can you at least try to include Max in your #BelgianGP home race chat!? All this chat about it being a second home race for Lando since his mother's Belgian. What about Max? His mother is Belgian and he was born there 🙄

If I can't have a Palou win, I'll take a Pato win. #skyindycar
July 20, 2025 at 6:13 PM
Pato has had his Weetabix this morning. #skyindycar

The green sidewall isn't great but one person who can get the most out of their tyres is Alex Palou. I think he may surprise people once again. Yes yes - I know I'm a fan boy for Palou but when you're watching history you can't help but swoon #skyindycar

If it's Sunday evening in the UK then it must be time for the #skyindycar footage of the Toronto GP. Maybe tonight is the night @tomgaymor.bsky.social finally gives me a shout out!?

Took me a couple of minutes to realise why I couldn't see Herta's name in the timing sheet of Qualifying Gp 1. Thanks @andrettiindy.bsky.social 😂 #SkyIndycar
