Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 14/09/2026This story about 17 picks for a teenage OHLer is obviously fascinating, but beyond the future haul I’m a bit confused by the short term payoff for Brampton. What did they get to help them this season? They were lousy last year so are they just punting the season already? Seems so 000
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Question for video/editing folks: looking for a service like Play Play to create template based content, but I’d love something Canadian. Any suggestions? I’ve heard Lumen5 but that seems more like AI voiceover stuff. Pitch me 002

Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Boy that report on the OpenAI beach with Hugging Face is a doozy. I won’t attempt to synthesize it , so Please seek it for yourself, but my main reax to the question of why an AI would do that is simple? Why would a human do that? Because of self interest and awareness. 010
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I would not have guessed that bro-y comic Anthony Jeselnik would be a go-to source for book reviews and recommendations and yet…he’s so earnest about it. Also wild that I don’t find him overly funny but I am really enjoying his book picks 000
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 27/08/2026The “home runs at home” drought feels so forced but seriously Vladdy Jr. has 7 home runs TOTAL this year. Hard pressed to think of a Toronto athlete who got more of a free ride than him this season, in any sport ever. If he doesn’t figure it out that’s 13 more years at $35M a pop 💀 000
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Right now AI content mines are furiously working on thousands of AI slop videos of Tim Curry and Dolly Parton smiling together with angel wings and the only question is how long do we have before I have to see one 050

Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Read Pronmans prospect rankings and while I’m pleased to see leafs at 12 I assume McKenna is doing a lot of the lifting there. He also seems very high on Gudmondsson (#3 in the system) above Cowan at 4 and more worryingly Danford at 11 Tinus Luc at #2 btw 000
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I don’t understand this Claude watermarking story. So an AI company invents a product that they want people to use and theoretically pay for. Then they invent a detector system to catch people who use their product? What am I missing here? How is this good for their business? 110
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 04/08/2026As far as I can tell the Jays acquired a top of the rotation starter (not an ace but close?) in Soriano… a bottom of the rotation starter in Arighetti (who could turn into more maybe) and a bunch of minor league players who are unlikely to become everyday MLBers. Maybe the pitchers? Is that fair? 200
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Unexpected upside of the Blue Jays being kind of garbage is that I don’t have to have proactive anxiety over what might have been following this Skubal trade. Because they weren’t winning a series before this, and they certainly ain’t now Bring on the lockout! 010
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I assume the headline is based on the fact that when either of them speak, the yields on 30-year US bonds go parabolic www.ft.com/content/15de...ft.comIs Kevin Warsh the Lionel Messi of monetary policy?Citi certainly thinks so 000
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I read recently in a story on Europes heat wave and wildfires that France only has something like 12 water bomber planes Obviously that’s not something you want to overpurchase but maybe a great chance for our European friends to step up in the era of trade ties to step up and buy some Canadairs? 030
Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Based on past summers, peak annoyance time for wasps is still later in the summer when as I understand it their need for food switches from sugar to meat and protein (bbq) but this from an insect scholar is interesting and bleak, climate wise theconversation.com/where-have-a...theconversation.comWhere have all the wasps gone this summer?And why you should let them share your picnic ham and jam. 110

Pete Evans @pevans.bsky.social · 23/07/2026 Very confident that Leafs would be getting absolutely crucified if they gave Pat Kane that contract But interesting thought exercise is: would you rather have Pat Kane or all of Blueger/Duhaime and Sissons Neither option is a slam dunk to me and I’d rather 1/2 of each lol 000
