Solidarity, brothers and sisters

One Battle After Another was fucking awesome hell yeah

I seriously injured my wrist bowling a week ago (couldn't bowl in league tonight because my wrist is still sore). Picked up one of these bad boys and now I feel like an absolute fool for not doing it earlier. This thing is awesome lol. I might even bowl with it.

Are you interested in helping run an NHL Salary Cap website? I am looking for volunteers to help maintain NHL rosters and lineups for the upcoming season. The only requirement is that you are a fan of one (or more) NHL teams and have the ability to enter team transactions/lineups on a daily basis.

Just gonna say it after finally getting through setting rosters and running our team point projections for the 25-26 NHL season: I'm bullish on The Buffalo Sabres

It’s October 1st and I’m now just realizing I never did the final free agency/contract model review. How did I forget about that lol. Well looks like that’ll be a second week of the season kind of article this year.

$17 million?? Dollars??

Updating an Ubuntu server is simultaneously one of the most satisfying and one of the most stressful experiences. When you enter “y” you’re suddenly cosplaying The Matrix, but also there are multiple pink DOS screens asking whether you’d like to maybe break your server if you’re not careful

I've seen this movie before. I think Uma Thurman was in it

Our fantasy draft happens in about 30 minutes. I'm in the best shape of my life, but my palms are still sweaty.

Luke and I are, once again, attempting to adjust our entire daily routine and sleep schedule heading into the season. This shit sucks. I don't want to do this.

I feel like pretty soon we're going to have either extensions or full in-browser options for at least one browser that lets users block all AI feature/tool/assistance ads. There has to be a big enough group of people out there who might switch to another browser just to block it.

Well don't I feel stupid

Holy shit

I honestly have no idea what to do with UPL. He's now been breaking our goalie models for 2 or 3 years. Who knows what the hell is going to happen with the Sabres this season

Our fantasy hockey group chat is disintegrating before our eyes. One player wants to eliminate goalie wins or goalies entirely - which, understandable - but nobody else does. They are not happy that no one agrees with them lol

A nice fall 71 F outside, all the windows open, all the ceiling fans on. Cross breeze time.

This is tough. But I'm going with the first black and white film that really changed the way I viewed "old" movies years ago.

It’s game 1 of the preseason which means it’s time for hard conclusions Plan the parade folks

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

I hope his first name is pronounced correctly

Imagine cooking on this level

Ah shit, here we go again

If I or anyone I’m with says “knock on wood”, I will always find real wood to knock on

Thomas Harley said he likes that Neil Graham explains why they’re doing certain things. @OwenNewkirk asked why that’s important. “Because we’re stupid,” Harley said.

A lot of people don't know there are native thistles (Cirsium species) in North America. They're very beneficial for wildlife, and I'm kind of obsessed with them. We had 5-6 Field Thistles (C. discolor) bloom this year in our front yard, and now that they've gone to seed the goldfinches are in love

Incredible bullet list. No notes.

EvolvingWild album of the week #47 Frog Eyes - Paul’s Tomb: A Tribute For my money, the most overlooked indie album of the 21st century. At the time there were fans, but I haven’t heard anyone talk about this record since 2010.

At this point it feels like we're on track for the current administration to ban access to toilet paper and clean water

Realized yesterday that I was somehow 10 months past due on renewing the tabs on my car. Literally no idea how I went this long without a ticket. Feels like one of the luckiest things that’s happened to me in several years lol

G and D are absolutely stacked in this

The critics probably just don’t like that much gore in their science fiction movies

Bowled my first clean game tonight since we've gotten back into bowling this past spring. Josh didn't have a bad game either!

The media doesn't want you to know that like 92% of Americans died last year from illegal drugs. But we're not going to let them conceal the truth any longer.

The @evolving-hockey.com podcast featuring the two of us and @shawnferris98.bsky.social might be just what you’re looking for

Whether it’s Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade advocating killing homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection” or MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd bringing up things that Charlie Kirk said, both networks have crossed the boundaries of decency.

A few people wanted a demonstration of the Circle of Comfortably Numb, so here it is

We’re seeing a show tonight for the first time in a while - Ninajirachi. Really excited. However, we just stopped at a cocktail bar and I ordered a Vieux Carré… and it was incredible.

Luke has figured out that you can loop the slow arpeggiated part of Comfortably Numb endlessly through all 12 keys and won’t stop playing it. He’s calling it the Circle of Comfortably Numb. Please help.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

“You changed the samples, didn’t you huh?” *ballroom crowd murmurs uneasily* “You SWITCHED THE SAMPLES after Lentz died.”

The main difference I've found between Bluesky and Twitter since starting to cross-post is that people who reply on each site align as follows: Bluesky: interested in what you posted, might doubt you but are generally curious Twitter: do not agree with you at all and also don't care what you think

EvolvingWild album of the week #46 The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin A masterpiece, this is one of my favorite albums of all time. Not much else to say about it - just go listen to it if you haven’t!

so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived

Speaking of cool bugs, check out this wonderful creature I saw on a walk today (Greater Angle-wing Katydid, technically not a bug)

Da Bears

If you told me to run head first into a line of 300-pound men I’d simply tell you that I will not do that

just remembered that during the q&a i proposed installing a third upright to the middle of the crossbar in order to punish kickers for kicks that are too good

Football is, in my opinion, a pretty dumb sport. But if it’s on I can guarantee you I’ll watch the entire dumb game.
