Anyway I don't get political on here too often but occasionally something will come to me in my shower thoughts and I'll post about it.

Equally shower thoughts might be about a junior hockey team's defensive weaknesses.

Or shower thoughts could be about a kitchen appliance.

You just never know.
Happy 50th Birthday to my fave, former Montreal Canadiens captain, Saku Koivu!

Hyvää syntymäpäivää!!

I bought a lovely fluffy blanket to keep me warmer at night as it's fecking freezing here this week but my cat doesn't like it so I'm still cold.

Better to be cold than disappoint a 19 year old feline bedding snob.

I'm seeing a few people over on the other side who would rather have 50,000 followers and 5 iffy engagements per post over there than 500 followers and 10 solid engagements per post over here.

Don't underestimate the value some place on follower count over follower quality.

I just think anybody who thinks Musk is an extremely divorced weirdo who jumps around embarrassingly at Trump rallies should read (or re-read) Ronan Farrow's New Yorker article on him from last year.

Man already has his thumb on the scale everywhere.

How the U.S. government came to rely on the tech billionaire—and is now struggling to rein him in.

So here's my take on Musk/Trump. I think both wants to be a global dictator and thinks the other can help achieve that.

I also think that Musk has already outmanoeuvred Trump but the latter and his loyalists haven't realised it.

The first 100 days are going to be interesting through that lens.

Hockey ask:

Does anybody know where I can find AHL TOI data? I can't find it on the official site or team app.

When your own robot thinks you’re a prick you have problems
this guy sucks so hard that he can't get any friends, so he bought a site to make all the users his friends, and they left; and he made a robot to tell him he was cool and it instead said he fucking sucks just like we all know he does

how shit do you have to human to fail at paying for pals
Elon Musk's AI turns on him, labels him 'one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X'
His posts, it added, “can have real-world consequences."

Keep thinking of that Hemmingway quote about bankruptcy. Gradually and then suddenly.
I’m old enough to remember when AskJeeves and Altavista were suddenly abandoned in the space of weeks or days, ditto MySpace, it can happen

This is my exact experience with hockey twitter.

It's so nice to have a place again where we can discuss the things we love without random people with names like wankmaster69 appearing from nowhere and yelling abuse at us.

It's lovely to not feel defensive and exhausted in the place we gather.
This is how it has felt for a whole lot of Baseball Twitter.

And if I'm honest with myself, there hasn't been a "Baseball Twitter" in the way I remember it for a very long time. Just a shitty, shitty place called X.
For a while, I kept up on Twitter b/c I felt like Musk didn't get the right to tell me where my communities could be found, and baseball twitter was still mostly there.

But the last 2 weeks feels like a huge tipping point, with so many people coming there -- and you can't really clean up Chernobyl.

I basically stopped making original posts on Twitter a few years ago because of how hostile it was there. I just became a serial reposter and replier. I'm going to try to be more proactive here and get back to posting again.

Hi again everyone!
