Rails console trick

A Rails console trick I use all the time is:

spinal(prod):012> Channel.find 8
=>
#<Channel:0x0000710e18333fc8
 id: 42,
 workspace_id: 42,
 integration_id: 42,
 slug: "ab12cd34",
 delegate_type: "Channel::Bluesky",
 delegate_id: 42,
 created_at: "2026-10-19 09:12:36.929964000 +0000",
 updated_at: "2026-10-19 09:12:36.929964000 +0000",
 body_template: nil>
spinal(prod):013> channel = _

Now I can use channel. Nice if you forgot to set the variable.
