What’s your fav beside table / behind the couch plug like this? (USB-A, USB-C, easy to fit behind a bed or couch.)
Someone on tiktok told me I needed to “grow some man nuts girly boy” because I made a video about not wanting to come across a bear or mountain lion on a hike.
Does anyone know the best way to grow man nuts? I don’t think they grow in Saskatchewan all that well tbh.
As a parent of 3 kids, I know when “kids at camp” is on the calendar that there’s a 120% chance that one of the three gets some sort of illness.

Here’s the official announcement from Squadcast on being aquired by Descript. Getting both tools for the price of Descript is pretty great, and is a pretty clear shot at a recording tool like Riverside.fm, which I use, that’s been adding transcription AI tools recently.
Please don’t say “I’m so glad you’re moving on” to someone who’s working through something, especially trauma. Getting a new job isn’t “moving on” when you were fired by assholes in an asshole way at your old job.

I can’t read the full article, but Bloomberg has leaked that Descript is buying Squadcast. Descript is a transcription / screencast / editing app, Squadcast is for recording and live streaming podcast conversations. Interesting acquisition.
Two interesting moments in this Matt Rife clip on his TikTok: 1) His explanation of why he posts crowd work clips on social media and not his original jokes. 2) Revealing how many people are experiencing a comedy show for the first time. So many new potential fans / customers he’s bringing in.
I didn’t realize until watching way too many tiktoks that some Americans actually use the phrase “cussing” when they’re talking about swearing at each other. I just thought it was an old-timey phrase, like in Fantastic Mr. Fox. 🦊
I feel like this example Chris Coyier blogged about trying to find a moment in a podcast he’d listened to could be the more interesting angle for AI / transcription tools to go after: podcast power users who want to find stuff in things they’ve listened to.
