Barkley Pre-Race Stats 2025 I love the Barkley, it’s why I started dabbling in data journalism in the first place.

I ended up with number 2 these last few weeks 😵‍💫

Looks nice 👌🏼

First time opening Bluesky in months, as I’ve seen several writers I follow post recently about joining. First thing I’m noticing: the feed/following feature seems pretty cool.

Can’t wait! Cool hat 👌🏼

Oh man, tell me more. This seems like the killer feature imo

Ok hear me out:

Verstappen to Mercedes to prove he’s the GOAT

Me before kids: omg I’m so busy.

After kids: I’ll get an hour overlap when both boys are napping today. I should be able to use the bathroom, brush my teeth (finally), shower, workout, do some focused work, wash dishes, transfer the laundry, and make date plans for the weekend.

It’s come to this.

I’m actually watching the 2023 24 hours of Le Mans in full.

F1 cannot start soon enough.

I used to hike solo, at night, in the mountains, with my headlamp switched off.

Designers, you know.

My big hairy audacious resolution is to go from 3 pints of ice cream a day to 1 a week.

I’ve never seen anything more beautiful 😍
