What’s your fav beside table / behind the couch plug like this? (USB-A, USB-C, easy to fit behind a bed or couch.)

Power bar extension cable with 2 USB A ports, 1 USB C, and 4 regular power plugs with a slim fitting wall adapter.

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.

Last night: “Why are we both getting phone calls from the same number?”

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.

It’s not about you.


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.
