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.

Anyone need to watch baby seals and their folks doing stuff? The babies are about to arrive. The National Trust has launched a live cam on YouTube. From 9.15 every day from now until January www.youtube.com/live/dWPE977...

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.

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. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

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.

Your reminder that you are valid without being in a Starter Pack, and please put me in your Starter Pack.

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

Keep thinking of that Hemmingway quote about bankruptcy. Gradually and then suddenly.

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.

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!

@chilepepper.bsky.social @hiverhuit.bsky.social we're all here! Sun is shining! Sky is blue! And all is right with the world :)
