I don’t know who needs to hear this but “Hey Chris who edits podcasts, just edit the podcasts and don’t let your brain spiral on - what does it all mean?! - every other day, ok?” I guess it was me that needs to hear this.

The US President outing himself for money laundering is quite the self own.
Happy to report that Ted Lasso season 4 is off to a great start. 👏🏽
Telegram’s app had CSAM content so it was pulled off the App Store. Telegram removed CSAM content, and Apple reinstated the app. All of which took around 40 minutes. I’m in favor of acting quickly to remove CSAM from the internet, extortionist or otherwise.
Surely it’s a coincidence that Telegram is known for being the favoured chat app of scammers, CSAM collectors, and AI bros? Telegram Briefly Removed From App Store
Sometimes I play video games. Poorly. Still a good way to unwind. Selfie a day for a year, day 350, Aug 3, 2026 edition.
Toilet fixed ✅ Shelves in garage half hung ❓ Office untouched, moved to tomorrow 🗓️ At the rink for the start of summer 3v3 🏒
One toilet is in pieces in the bathroom. The garage is a mess of wood and tools. The office is a pile of papers and digital clutter. How’s your long weekend todo list coming Canada? 🇨🇦

I forget to use “add to Home Screen” on web apps too often and miss the nice icons people have created for their apps.

I know the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but today I’m missing working for a single employer (instead of a bunch of clients) for the fact that everyone can be aware of holidays, life circumstances, etc. without having to communicate with each client individually about it.
Some thoughts on how I might use Atmosphere apps in the future.

It’s quite shocking how much it just goes almost overnight.
you ever get to your mid fourties and have your eyesight drop off a friggin cliff
This news cycle out of the USA where 🎃 says something that’s obviously a lie…the lie is revealed to be a lie…and then y’all continue on waiting for the next lie… is exhausting from up here 🇨🇦. I can’t imagine how it is for folks stuck inside that loop.
Folks running their own business + who’ve used ClickUp (past or present) - tell me what I’m missing out on by not using it please?
I like the idea of building things with wood. But I get very anxious / overthinking about not knowing what I’m doing, not having the right tools / gear, and wasting expensive wood. This is why I like building on computers. It only costs me time, and there’s an undo button. 😝
TIL: August 1st is Emancipation Day in Canada. “It marks the actual day in 1834 that the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 came into effect across the British Empire.”
I think this will be the last /note/ I share of my own. But it's still a neat feature of @pckt.blog

Thanks to Notes I realized my profile pic had me looking a lot grumpier than I actually feel (most of the time). Updated with a fresher look. ✨

I also set up a @roomy.space that you can log in with your bluesky credentials if you want to see what a Discord like experience is like on atmosphere: roomy.space/did:plc:5ofy...
Roomy
A community platform integrated with the AT Protocol

Thanks to @brookie.blog, I get that if I post a note as my blog it will appear at the top of my blog... vs posting a note as myself doesn't. I like that distinction. People on /notes/ see both the same way-ish I gather?

The (kinda) confusing part is @pckt.blog also has Notes as a content type. So it's like a mini-social network inside of your blogging platform that's separate from what gets posted on Bluesky, for example.

I posted on my Pckt blog https://ichris.pckt.blog/hello-world-fsj3hyp, but now I can also post on my blog's ATProto account somehow?
