Hello, team, and Happy Tuesday! How is everyone doing? I am slightly less depressed this week, most likely because the sun is out and it doesn't feel like we are living through Polar night at the moment. My Grinchiness remains strong though, I am so done with holiday craziness. Where is everybody going, why is the city so crowded and traffic so crazy all day long? Someone please explain, I don't get it.
Also, to the people "caroling" in front of my building at 8AM on Saturday...what is wrong with you and is anyone really giving you any money?
Ok, let's see what I can find in my bag of links today. First off, I rewatched Apollo 13 over the weekend. I'm sure Ivett already knows all this already, but if you're interested in a look at what they got right plus a recap of how we even ended up on the Moon in the first place, here you go:

While on the subject of space and for Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy fans, Zogg from Betelgeuse recently posted a video about Earthling liquids and beverages. The entire series is worth a listen:

Is TitkTok turning books into fast fashion? This clothing historian and published author says get out of here with that noise, while also taking a look at the state and history of the publishing industry:

For some lighter (and shorter) fare, let's have a look at a history of presidential pets:

Finally, here's a cute Potato puppy everyone can enjoy. Appropriate, as my meme seems to be potato quality and I'm not going to fix it:

Ok, I think that's enough for now. Let me know if I've managed to distract or entertain you with anything. Feel free to vent or rave about the holidays, hope everyone's gifts arrive in time.
Wait, I thought you should all know Maxine the fluffy corgi is celebrating Hanukkah:

That's it, off you go and remember to have a great day!
