In July 1951, "Steel Grandpa" Gustaf Håkansson, 66, unofficially rode the Sverigeloppet, a 1000-mile race through Sweden. By not sleeping he arrived a day before the other riders, crossing the finish line on a flat tire.

Happy #BicycleBirthday, Gustaf!
October 15 (1885-1987)

Happy (estimated) 5th Birthday to Chai, the Pandemic Pocket Panther. He's much bigger these days and sleeps on my feet. But he still prowls the night.

If certain persons were willing to die, I'd be willing to entertain their faces on coins.

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

5/5 serious stars to WHERE THE AXE IS BURIED by Ray Naylor. I've chatted with the author on a few occasions and was always impressed by his intelligence and good humor. Read his stuff. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Karl's review of Where the Axe Is Buried
5/5: Dang — Ray Nayler just gets better with each book. WHERE THE AXE IS BURIED is a departure from his previous works: darker and challenging. The future speculated here could happen very very soon. ...
