When Beneath the Remains first came out, Kerrang gave it one of their rare ‘KKKKK’ five K reviews, as did several British ‘zines, and as did these fans seeing Sepultura live in 1990 — from Belo Horizonte to London, the band had gone global

This is exactly how I've convinced mgmt to get behind a) a real data strategy and b) business process documentation & governance

The ROI inherent in those two activities, independent of any AI enablement, is transformative in itself. So when the fervour dials back, we've Done Something valuable.
It’s strikes me that perhaps the savvy way to manage upward against executives that are too excited about AI is to claim they you have too much technical debt to use it properly and to take the AI funds and use them to solve some of your existing problems.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Death. “In Human Form.” July 31, 1993. One Step Beyond club, Santa Clara CA. Footage like this is why I think of old school bootleggers as music historians. This is front stage.

Reading the AI scolds on here is pretty weird actually, because you're mindlessly consuming power & water with datacenters - the ones powering the apps you're using to express your dismay 🤷‍♂️

Starting Jakub Dobeš tomorrow... 😕

One supposed Marty is still clinging to the ghost of Sam Montembeault as his starting netminder. Big test of that here with this btb.

Y'a certains ici qui pense encore a un transformation pour Arber Xhekaj.....

C'est un défenseur, on peut oublier l'idée que le CH va lui faire jouer a l'aile.

SVP C'EST PAS LE TEMPS DE DANDENAULT, NI DE MARK STREIT 😆😆😆

With Hutson, Dobson & Matheson locked in, the door is finally wide open for the Habs to move a LD in trade. Look for more showcase games; one of Struble or Engström is likely going to be playing elsewhere.

I have the joy of a parent whose child has far surpassed them, at doing something we both cherish.

As much as this crumbling world is painful, there's hope of joy & lots to stay here for. I hope your gratitude can forever stay higher than your expectations

Here are my thoughts on Game 22 for the #Habs. It includes some lengthy comments about the D. Enjoy!

November 27, 2025 On Wednesday night the Montreal Canadiens were in Utah to face the Mammoth for their 22nd game of the season. The result was a 4-3 win. Here’s what caught my eye. Bolduc needed th…

Didn't mind the Habs finally getting some help from the zebras for a change last night.

F.Xhekaj playing like he wants to stay in the NHL, and I think we'll see all of Struble/A.Xhekaj/Engström in this next stretch of games.
