#Canucks vs. Sharks is easily the worst officiated game I’ve watched all season. Not just the worst officiated Canucks game, either, the single worst officiated NHL game I’ve watched.


ok… absolute first impressions of #macOS 26 / Tahoe + iOS/iPadOS updates… it’s objectively pretty ugly. lots of wasted space, UI elements crowding together unnecessarily. finder in particular is suddenly looking very tight on space. not my favourite. #ux #macos26 #iOS26 #glass

"The best gardeners have killed the most plants" Applies elsewhere too...

people vastly overestimate how much a green thumb is about having plant knowledge vs actually just being willing to experiment with something new & fail repeatedly.

the trump arse-kissing from various previously centrist tech magnates who want his favour/ (musk, zuck, PG - this one really saddens me, and others) is so out of hand it’s laughable.

What’s the most valuable skill to grow on YouTube? ‘Editing... Photoshop... Videography' I’ve worked across billions of views and in my opinion, it’s writing. So f**k it… here’s 10 minutes of my knowledge on intros:

Today I turn 28. I have dedicated over 50% of my life to obsessing over YouTube strategy and audience growth. 100s of channels, millions of revenue, billions of views later… Here are 28 lessons for YouTubers:

Can’t wait until the #Canucks start utilizing LTIR next season ahead of the deadline so that the NHL finally puts their foot down and makes a new rule for the following season



not my usual audience for this, but if you’re into #houseplants or just chopping stuff up in general, check this out: LET'S #CHOP SOME SH*T UP! 🔪🪴 taking a look at my technique for taking top cuts off my overgrown/weirdly growing #plants! #propagation youtu.be/O1EXE-yn6eg&li…

The NHL’s decision to ban players from wearing specialty jerseys in pre-game warms up is gutless. Pride Night, Military Appreciation, Hockey Fights Cancer, Black History. 99% of players had no issues wearing a specialty jersey. Typical NHL, going 60 Miles per hour in reverse.

There's a simple reason why this trade deadline felt so disappointing for #Canucks fans: for a brief moment, it felt like the Canucks were actually going to do something to give the team long-term hope to become a Stanley Cup contender. Hope is a dangerous thing.

I've always suspected that an advanced alien civilisation with the technology to travel at close to light speed across interstellar distances would arrive in Earth orbit unobserved and proceed to dispatch a fleet of small, easily detectable balloons into our atmosphere.

#truth: the only thing worse than one 7yo going mental and losing their everloving mind is *two* of them flipping their shit at the same freaking time in the same claustrophobic shared sub-100 sq. ft. room. #parentingfails #dadlife #twins #twinproblems
