My final blog post about hiking in the Peak District. Features spectacular views, glorious isolation, spooky forests, Roman roads, random gateposts I pretended were left by druids, and giant plugholes that made the whole day feel like "Shadow of the Colossus"

Dropped by the Apple Store at the mall and in the pick-up area four people were getting MacBook Neos.
It's just anecdata from one visit, but it feels like Apple is going to sell a TON of these things.
So Elon's "we're gonna vibe code Microsoft, not just the software but the whole corporation - how hard could it be?" project is toast.
But no worries he's got a new idea: "what if our bet-the-future upcoming robot ... wasn't physically real?"
TALA is up over 3% this morning on the news.
Ok Canada lost to America in hockey which is painful but understandable.
AMERICA lost to ITALY in baseball, man oh man...
Yeah @davidjroth.bsky.social is very good at describing these weirdos
Here's the article that had me laughing out loud yesterday

Back in the day a single Bored Ape NFT could easily go for $230k - this is 78 NFTs, which makes them about $3000 each or so? Still a big drop-off. Hilarious they're trying to compensate the victims with replacements
I gather that when the shoe size discussion first happened everyone started bragging and one-upping each other: "I'm a size 11!" "Well I'm a 14!" And now they can't not wear them. Literally clown shoes
clown event still possible
Separate from the substance details: how bad must the internal poll / caucus-level unrest have been for Tim Houston to make THIS big a shift in tone from everything he's been saying and doing the past couple weeks?
In the chaos in Iran, you might have missed the news that Russia's operational momentum has slowed, even reversed, on the frontlines in Ukraine.
Finally watching the video about DashCon and realizing this is basically how Trump's America is running the world: underprepared, ad hoc, grifty, abusing those who actually want to help. MAGA 2026 is the ballpit - with a body count youtu.be/HPwgSXZJcok?...
That's about the point in an 8% you should take extra care with your grill.
Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.
It's amazing what comes out when the big snowdrifts thaw
Walking home in +10 degrees C and smelling that rotted soil fragrance that dogs love and heralds spring in Nova Scotia
it is genuinely very funny how many big name/shop analysts have gone on tv in the last 24-48hr and been like "man we didn't think this administration would be so stupid" like, come on
me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58
The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.
Today is the one day in the year when our cat gets fed at the time he expects it
And some kind of maybe Amy Winehouse pin-up looking thing?
Attn @landofsticks.bsky.social
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
Nova Scotia's Education Minister, folks. Not exactly making the grade.
And he's still really really really good looking, I see
It’s wild, they really think they can skip straight to the tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree phase of this absolutely pointless war, without even the barest pretext for why we’re supposed to support it. No Iranian ever called me “libtard.”
“No one campaigned on cutting the arts budgets, slashing through the social safety nets, decimating the civil service organizations.
Had Houston campaigned on those issues, he surely would’ve lost the election.
And that deceit is why I’m angry at Tim Houston.”
In 1926 people in cars looked pityingly at the poor masses delegated to walking.
In 2026 people walking look pityingly at the poor masses delegated to driving.
Taking up 54 minutes of the NDP’s hour-long question time with just ONE ANSWER - that’s the level of contempt our premier is showing for the legislative process.
I keep seeing people share one version or another of this story and every one traces back to one source which is just one guy, sharing one alleged example. I frankly don’t think the source is telling the truth but at the very least I’m waiting until someone else corroborates any of it.
