   At the #skzDominateSantiago soundcheck #Felix is wearing a hat with BABYMILO written on it.

   At first I could only see BABY something and thought it might be BABYGIRL

   Then I could see a bit more and thought it might be BABYMILK

   His supporters say they don't want to fund “foreign aid” and that instead we should be helping our citizens. Then they cheer when programs that help Americans get cut.

   They also make up scare stories like child abuse and vandalism to justify it.

   At what point will people catch on that they only want the money for themselves?

   I voted for Harris-Walz and I’m still pissed off at everyone who didn’t.

   I have not studied Sandy Hook in detail. But I don't really doubt it.

   At the time I was busy working to keep several local governments from basically outlawing all guns.

   Not like I did it alone, but damn I was busy.

   I'm being bad and enjoying occasional cinnamon toast.

   I cut some butter up to spread over a couple of bread slices, topped it with cinnamon and sugar, and placed them in a cooking drawer of the ol' air fryer to heat up.

   Well, I'd been preheating the drawer while I prepared the bread. At a minute and a half of cooking time after that, it would be toasted excellent.

   But, why not skip the preheating to save a little energy? If I cooked it from room temp for 2 minutes, surely that would be nearly the same.

   Being a genius in the kitchen, I tried it.

   At 2 minutes, the air fryer went into COOL mode. A fan kicked in with a mighty whoosh.

   When it finished, I opened the drawer to find one slice had flipped in the air, landing face down on the other. That routine got all 9's, except for the Russian judge, who gave it a 6. It was slightly off-center, and a bit of buttery goodness had dripped.

   To summarize, do not let an air fryer enter COOL mode when air frying cinnamon toast. This concludes my TED talk.

   @rolle unfortunately some topics still aren't discussed here and I've found Threads algorithm better to help me find people that discuss interests than BlueSky.

   Not to mention I have a bit of resentment towards BlueSky cause they saw the Fediverse model and decided to do something that was SLIGHTLY adjacent, but not, just so they can eventually monetize it.

   At least Threads isn't deceptive. You know what you're getting into with Meta. BlueSky is trying to fool people into thinking they're something that they're not. The Fediverse.

   "Never hide your hidden talents!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   I find innovation and creativity stories everywhere I look! (And I'm playing with my creativity - today's image was generated on MidJourney, and is used in my newest book, just released!)

   Consider the piano intro for Free Bird, the anthemic song by the rock band Lynrd Skynrd.

   I recently watched the documentary Muscle Shoals - it's the story about a small little community in Alabama that hosted two of the world's most iconic music studios, where a group of remarkable session musicians provided the foundation for a huge number of hit songs, and where a good swathe of rock royalty recorded their work. If you haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend it.

   At one moment, it's telling the story of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the recording of the famous song - it seems as with all things, the band was struggling with piecing the song together. And yet, when they returned from lunch one day, they found one of their roadies noodling away on the studio piano, playing the part that would become the iconic opening to the song.

   Their roadie!

   The documentary goes on to note that few people realized that while he was responsible for moving crates and carrying equipment, he also had a hidden skill. "He was a concert pianist, and nobody knew about it," noted one of the members of the band. Watch this short clip - and in particular, at 1:31, where they tell the story of the discovery.

   Billy went on to become a full member of the band, touring with them for many years, and playing with them even beyond the plane crash that saw the loss of key members in the early years.

   That got my creativity juices thinking: how many people around us have skills of which we are not aware? What hidden talents exist on our team that could bring us magic - that we have no clue about? What capabilities already exist in our orbit while we are busy searching for those very same skills?

   Not only that: how many of us hold back from telling others of some of the unique skills that we might possess? What hidden talents are we holding back? We might not think they are important - but they could be revolutionary!

   This got me thinking - many people might hold back from sharing their full range of skills. They might be able to do something unique that can help our team move forward, but they might be too shy, don't think the skills are relevant, or simply never think to tell us. The result is missed opportunities and discoveries.

   For me, unique skills and talents are often the hidden key to innovation.

   How often do we not learn about them until we discover that the next wave of innovation comes from unexpected sources?

   The future belongs to those who dare to reveal their hidden capabilities.
