Okay, so that loss was a real kick in the face. However, the NHL app did give me a little chuckle.

This picture with the second half of that headline? #CanesAfterDark but, like, for the NHL. Does that exist??

Catching up on the news on my tea break and reading about Amazon’s layoffs in an Al Jazeera explainer. The below is a screenshot from that story, highlighting all the jobs I’ve had.

All the AI in the world cannot replace the human mind’s creativity, flexibility and emotion.

Finished ‘Once was Willem’ by M.R. Carey and damn was it good. It uses some medieval vernacular, but it was pretty understandable in context. Besides, who doesn’t love a found family band of outcasts, an evil as shit villain, and a hard look at the lack of humanity humans can display. Oh, and magic.

The NHL is just trying to hurt me at this point.

My in-work listen this week was Say hello to the bad guys by Marc Raimondi. Thought it was really interesting as both a look at the crazy backstage machinations of both WCW and WWF/E and as pretty chilling foreshadowing for the kind of wrestling promo politics that have taken hold.

Think I’ve already found my favourite book this month. Made me laugh and cry and marvel at everything from Greenland sharks to golden moles (which are not actually moles). Easy to read essays even if I did have to look up some words (like crepuscular). As calls to actions go, it’s effective as hell.

Thunder and West Auckland Admirals tied at 2 each after the first. First game of the season (that counts for points, at least) is hopping. I love live hockey.
