It’s Monday. Ugh. Flipping the switch back into work mode after two weeks off is brutal. Two solid weeks of sleeping in, being gloriously lazy, and inhaling way too many holiday goodies is not a habit you just shake off—especially when you have zero desire to do so. There really should be a multi-day grace period to ease back into reality safely. Until that exists, let’s all agree this week is nothing more than a warm-up lap, and anyone expecting peak performance is wildly optimistic at best.
The Bears lost yet another heartbreaker to the Lions on Sunday. As usual, they didn’t bother showing signs of life until the fourth quarter—and by then it was too little, too late. This team isn’t built for the playoffs, and at this point, it’s painfully obvious.

It’s Tuesday. As a kid, LEGOs were always one of my go-to toys. They’re the rare kind of toy with truly endless possibilities—where the only real limit is your imagination. And while I built some pretty cool creations back in the day, they don’t even come close to what’s featured here today.
Banana Gear Studios has put together one of the most impressive LEGO machines I’ve ever seen. His automated assembly line doesn’t just build a car—it builds three of them in a row. The system pulls parts from a pallet, snaps them together in the correct order, and applies just the right amount of pressure to lock everything in place. It’s equal parts engineering, creativity, and LEGO magic.
