Has anyone noticed that Lego's suddenly added a bunch of retirement dates this year? I noticed it on 21265, 21044, 21028, 71374, and 40650, all of which I hope to get eventually.

I can't say I've noticed if it's sudden, but they all have retirement dates listed on Brick Tap's retirement date spreadsheet (except for 71374 which was retired at the end of last year) and on each set's page on Rebrickable. In fairness 21044 has been out since 2019 and 21028 since 2016 - they can't sell sets indefinately!
 
Ugh, thanks for reminding me I don't have forever to get around to buying a Concorde or Ornithopter... I should, but I can't make myself.

On the other hand I "left" my job (at a science museum, which is relevant) and they got me

As a leaving present. Nice! Can't build it yet though, I want to put it on the bookcase in my son's room but he doesn't have a bookcase to put it on.
 
It's been a while since I got a Speed Champions set, and I recently got a shelf for my finished cars but still have space for more. I looked around Target, Scheel's, even a LEGO store at a nearby shopping area, and all there are is the F1 lineup. There's also the Camaro NASCAR. Are there any new sets coming out soon?

Indeed there are new ones, this Friday August 1st in fact!

I do need some more Lambos, only have the old Countach and VGT. The Bugatti looks cool, too. The Porsche looks a bit derpy with those headlights, though.

Just browsing the website says not much. Lego seems to be all in on the F1 sets at the moment. The only real sets I'm interested in now are the 747 Shuttle Carrier and the Artemis Launch System sets.
 
Correct! It took me 2 and a half hours total to build. The FW14B set is one of the most impressive and best looking sets that I have built. I wonder though if you can get the tires from this set individually to fix the McLaren MP4/4 set.
You have to make some modifications to the floor of the MP4/4. If you just replace the rear wheels as is, they will stick out too far.

Finally finished those three sets, let's go over them:

1. Let's began with the 499P (Bottom left) - A decent small build, I wish they made more of these micro car builds available.
2. Next, the extension to the ninjago microcity, the docks (top left) - It was much less difficult, and a decent extension. I wish they did more of these microbuild cities with multiple sets. Surprisingly, this one has a QR code so I could claim a few points back. The first one (on the right) didn't.
3. Finally, the F40. This one took 4 days, because now I'm pacing myself. I'm doing a bag a day. I did discover something. the F40 only has the model logo on the right side, as I was confused as to why there was only one F40 logo sticker.

I think, nearer to my birthday, I'm going to get myself 21265 (The crafting table from the minecraft theme) - I've got to find a place to put it, but I think I can make some room in my bedroom.

Went up to my local lego store this morning to get the crafting table set. Just wanted to make sure I got it before it got discontinued, and the scalpers got their hands on it. I also got a few other sets for some family members, and a Land Rover Defender. I named the minifigure Lily:

I also got one of the brickheadz GWP's, for fortnite, apparently. I plan to begin it during F1 qualifying this afternoon.

On a side note, I've finally got enough insider points to get the two remaining mini-ninjago sets, but I couldn't get both in a single order, so I held off buying the Italy postcard to get it today.
