NHL ‘Hot for Hockey’ Audio Shorts Campaign Is Done
The league says it was meant to be a one-week-only campaign, tied to the beginning of the 2026–27 NHL season.

I continue to be a “write and file in the CMS” guy, but that does not mean I’m opposed to brutal corporal punishment for the designers of certain content management systems.

I still like Digger, btw, but it is not a smart film. It is a deeply stupid movie made by a clown.

Benjamin Freed @handle.invalid · 05/10/2026
Over on X, Marc Andreesen is saying this about Digger. Which makes sense as Digger is a stupid person’s idea of a smart movie. (See also: Don’t Look Up, a stupid MS NOW viewer’s idea of a smart movie)

What Mark is saying is one of the reasons I find myself defending Digger. Artist-driven flops will always be more interesting and memorable than recycled IP that no one desires. Not so long ago Paramount made Babylon. Now it’s throwing GI Joe spaghetti at the wall. bsky.app/profile/mark...

I can’t in good conscience recommend you pay money to see Digger. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed it and recommend you see it because I am a clown who contains multitudes. boxd.it/gCm6fl

Unsurprising that Meta’s AI content moderation follows the right-wing politics of its founder, a dorkass wannabe MRA with zero rizz.

As long as we’re talking about high-concept, self-aggrandizing, and audience-insulting movies about climate change, Digger is far superior to Adam McKay and David Sirota’s Don’t Look Up, which contains a career-worst performance from nearly everyone in the cast and set back environmental politics.

On the merits, Digger objectively stinks and Iñárritu remains a clown and a fraud. Unfortunately it appears I may be too. boxd.it/gCm6fl

We very badly need to marginalize these people and treat it the same as following Hanania or being a Tucker fan, and we equally as badly need to have a position on owners of the tech that spreads this shit (social media) bribing the pedophile president so they wouldn't be held accountable for it.

Neman met the Washingtonian editorial staff about 10 or 11 years ago and argued that Sweetgreen was more like a tech company than a fast food chain so yeah, this was entirely predictable
