The day I was possessed by Sergio Ramos: scored a goal in injury time. It’s great to be back on the football field after five months away due to ligament inflammation (unrelated to football activity), writing an academic paper, and attending online courses.

I was helping my 12-year-old with math the other day and discovered she cannot do basic math with her head anymore! (e.g., 9x5, 35/7). Why? She is relying too much on the calculator.
I used Claude to create this fun, Gen Alpha-inspired game. Feel free to use it.
