But I'm also thinking of people like the original Mercury and Apollo astronauts. Hell even Stephen Hawking was on the college rowing team before he started to develop symptoms of his disability.

I said reportedly because it's based on one source who wrote a century after he died, but there's also no counter evidence. "Plato" means "broad" or "wide", like calling someone a unit.
Bork Bork Bork (@borkcubed.bsky.social) reply parent
Which is crazy because even casual research could've told me that going all the way back to Plato (supposedly his wrestling nickname) some of the most intellectually distinguished people in history were also accomplished athletes and/or warriors.

My son is one of the people who like LEGO as model kits. Whenever he was given a set he always immediately busted out the instructions and built it precisely as directed, then left it that way on the shelf forever. Meanwhile, I would just dump all the new pieces into a bucket and build whatever.

Weirdly specific hot take: I feel like the new LEGO sets with bespoke pieces that make them appear completely smooth and un-LEGO-like kinda defeat the purpose.

Yeah. You almost only ever see it as a supposed story when something like Elden Ring or Silksong comes out for which the thirst for "content" is bottomless and so the likely suspects are racing each other to post as much about it as possible despite there being a finite number of things to say.

This made me think about how interesting it is (maybe) that 'music for children' might be the ONLY specifically demographically-targeted music. Ofc all music has an audience in mind, but I imagine most at least hope to go beyond that. 'Music for children', though, does not hope to be universal.

OK seriously what is up with the people from whom you miss a call by SECONDS, and INSTANTLY call them back, and they DON'T ANSWER??
