Japanese high school teacher Hirotaka Hamasaki draws amazing blackboard art for his students, then erases it to show the beauty of letting go.

This is probably one of the better animations I have found that illustrate clearly, the mission path of Artemis II. You can see the precision planning needed for a spacecraft to rendezvous with the moon.

In celebrating the Artemis II mission launch, it's interesting to note the last mission to the moon, Apollo 17, was Dec 1972. So the people most heavily involved were born from 1910-1940 or so.

Governor Shapiro is doing a wonderful thing. Giving kids longer recess is so important, and so few leaders are talking about it. Combined with phone free schools, PA students will be more engaged in school than they were before. Bravo @GovernorShapiro
The best thing we can do for our kids right now is to just let them be kids. Kids are getting cell phones sooner than any generation before them, screen times are up while real human connection is down, and foundational skills aren’t being taught enough these days. We need to take a step back. It’s why I just signed a bipartisan bill into law, requiring cursive handwriting to once again be taught in PA public schools. It’s also why I’ve called on the legislature to pass a bill requiring schools to both implement a bell-to-bell cell phone ban and guarantee recess for every Pennsylvania student.  Let’s continue our work to set young people on a path to success — and let our kids be kids.

Joshua Paul (fit_4_football on Instagram) uploaded this a few days back. That’s a fantastic life lesson to teach the young kids he’s coaching.

What happened at the World Juniors? How did Sweden succeed vs. Czechia in the final & how did Canada fail in the semis? Here's what I saw when reviewing the video. (Warning - long thread with tons of clips)

Youth sports stories often highlight the worst aspects of the culture. Here’s the opposite. While waiting an extra few minutes for the Zamboni to finish, Junior Kraken Girls were dancing when their opponent (Spokane boys team) joined in. Youth sports can/should be fun!

6-12 months from now, the big story in crypto is going to be credit and borrowing. It will explosively grow over the next few years. Two vectors: 1. There’s nearly $4 trillion dollars of crypto and growing: when people can borrow against this crypto, rather than sell, they will. 2. There’s over $60 trillion in public equities alone in the US. As assets tokenize, someone with $7,000 of a stock will be able to borrow against that for the first time, Onchain. Crypto is going to reshape capital markets. It’s just getting started.

Bitcoin at $94k, yet — Google searches for "Bitcoin" near long term lows. This hasn't been retail driven. Institutions, advisors, corporates, and nations have come into the space. The types of investors buying Bitcoin is expanding.

Quick Update: The First Post-Launch STORE Economy APIs Are Nearing 🚀 We're on the cusp of publishing our first Post-Launch STORE Economy APIs through the STORE AI Oracle, and permanently storing a corresponding on-chain verification proof. This represents the next version of the STORE Economy, powered by the verifiable and democratically governed STORE AI – the first of its kind. The STORE AI Oracle bridges the off-chain world with the blockchain, enabling secure and efficient data and transaction transfer. The on-chain verification proof ensures transparency and auditability, while democratic governance gives stakeholders a direct say in the weights and endpoints that shape the AI's future. Given that STORE AI and the STORE Oracle are funded by and for the global STORE Economy, this represents the first step in user-owned, user-monetized, and user-governed AI. It's a baby step, but as they say, the first steps are often the hardest.
