Enjoying the heated rivalry between the Fleet and the Torrent tonight!
#BostonFleet #SeattleTorrent #PWHL

Two Seattle and two Boston hockey players fight for the puck against the boards as another Torrent player goes in and the Torrent goalie prepares to defend.

@templinjay.bsky.social That is just horrible. I too will avoid Fords from noe on (not that I was likely to buy one anyway)

@templinjay.bsky.social I’m sorry, that is horrible!

I'm taking the plunge, migrating from #Bitwarden to #1Password for my family's password manager. To facilitate that I've written a tool for migrating my Bitwarden data into 1Password, since neither Bitwarden's export functionality nor 1Password's import functionality are sufficient. More details here: blog.kamens.us/2026/01/07/a-be. Share and enjoy!

139) Undecsbot. For when you've had just about enough of bloody Christmas.

A robot in the form of a slightly tapering cylinder with four short, banded legs and an antenna with a star on the end on its top. Affixed to the front of the robot is a large, banded, conical nozzle, and attached to its back is a sack bulging with objects. The robot is angrily using its nozzle to suck in Christmas decorations which are being yanked from a tree, itself bending under the strain of the robot’s immense suction power. Baubles, stars, bells, candy canes, some holly, garlands of tinsel, and even (lit) Christmas lights are all being pulled into the robot. The angel from the top of the tree has also been displaced and is wheeling towards the nozzle, halo askew.

I've been reading about what really helped people who had problems with "AI Psychosis" and one tip jumped out at me:

Open a second window and tell it exactly the opposite of each thing you say.

This helps to expose the sycophancy and shatters the illusion of sincerity and humanity.

Thought it was worth sharing. And frankly, it's exactly such an exercise that made me disgusted with the tech. "It just says ANYTHING is wonderful and genius. I'm not special."

There's something remarkable about this photo illustrating the article in Le Monde about the snow fall in France:
The roads are cleared of snow. The sidewalks and bike lanes are not.
Yet, I count 13 pedestrians and one cyclist. The only car can barely be seen in the background.
Anecdotes are not data. But over and over, local governments make choices about who is prioritised for access, and it does not often line up to actual numbers of users.

Read the article here:
lemonde.fr/climat/live/2026/01

a snow covered city scape (I think it's in Paris based on looks). One cyclist is in the center of the photo, there are many pedestrians walking, but not cars on the road. The sidewalk and bike lanes are covered in snow, the roads have been cleared of snow.

I have been trying to figure out what to post here about ICE activity today in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metro. It is just •batshit• out there.

Some admin mucky-muck is in town today (Noem, I think?), and ICE is putting on a full We Are A Big Fascist Deal theater show. The result of this is chaos: ICE caravans all over, vulnerable people terrified, less-vulnerable residents dropping their work to keep watch on the streets.

My favorite thing on Bluesky is a labeler made by the Social Technologies Lab at Cornell Tech.

bsky.app/profile/did:plc:oubsy

It surfaces metadata on posts. Most useful to me is "This person posted more than 50 times yesterday."

It recasts a post like the one pictured. It reminds me to look at their profile and figure out if they are a real person, and are they terminally online, or engagement farming, or what. Then I might block/mute because I don't need people like that in my lifeworld.
