@readywriting on all the socials ALL OF THEM

Ok so I’m readywriting on all the other socials (sky, strings, federated, where photos go, even discord), so gimme a follow there.

🚨BREAKING: If you've used ChatGPT for writing or brainstorming in the last 6 months, your creative ability may already be permanently damaged. A controlled experiment just proved the effect doesn't reverse when you stop using it. 3,302 creative ideas. 61 people. 30 days of tracking. Researchers split students into two groups. Half used ChatGPT for creative tasks. Half worked alone. For five days, the ChatGPT group outperformed on every metric. Higher scores. More ideas. Better output. AI was making them better. Then day 7. ChatGPT removed. Every creativity gain vanished overnight. Crashed to baseline. Zero lasting improvement. But that's not the bad part. ChatGPT users' ideas became increasingly identical to each other over time. Same content. Same structure. Same phrasing. The researchers called it homogenization. Everyone using ChatGPT started producing the same ideas wearing different clothes. When ChatGPT was removed, the creativity boost disappeared -- but the homogenization stayed. 30 days later, same result. Their creative range had been permanently compressed. Five days of use. Permanent damage 30 days later. A separate trial confirmed it. 120 students. 45-day surprise test. ChatGPT users scored 57.5%. Traditional learners scored 68.5%. AI reduces cognitive effort. Less effort means weaker encoding. Weaker encoding means less creative raw material. You're not renting a productivity boost. You're financing it with your originality. The interest rate is permanent.

My latest for THN. Celebrating the character and resilience of the Sarnia Legionnaires, who went 0-50-0 this season and never gave up.

I AM SO EXCITED TO GET TO SEE THIS!

@MarcPDumont I really want to get the Colorado version they're doing this year.

Important Q: Will our balls still be bigger?

A headline from the Montreal Gazette in 1982 because it was three years since the Canadiens had won the Cup. Talk about high expectations once upon a time. lol

We’ll see you on free agency day Carey when you sign a one-day contract to retire with the Habs.

Burn this.

@MarcPDumont It's not THAT different really.

Habs coach Marty St. Louis, episode 2 of The Rebuild (S2): “There are days that I felt I’ll never get another game in this league. There are days I thought I’d never fucking score another goal in this league. As a coach, and I’m emotional cause I’m real, I’m not afraid to be emotional, as a coach sometimes this fucking league is hard. Sometimes you fucking feel you’re never gonna win another game in this league.” “I’m telling you right now: the game, life, sometimes it’s not fair. You just gotta fucking keep pushing.”

Kent Hughes, waiting for some GM to panic before the season starts so that he can fleece him.

If the return for Dobson is 2x1st plus Heineman (as we’re hearing) I only have one thing to say: THANK YOU FLAMES! 16 OA is from the Monahan trade Heineman is from the Toffoli trade

NEWS: The Montreal Canadiens are acquiring Noah Dobson in a sign-and-trade with the New York Islanders. Dobson gets an eight-year contract extension carrying a $9.5M AAV as part of the trade. First to report: @KevinWeekes

32 years ago today on June 9th 1993, the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Here’s the call by the legendary Bob Cole.

It's practically destiny. Patrick J. Kelly, the namesake for the ECHL Kelly Cup, was a player for the Trois-Rivières Lions from 1957 to 1959 in the Quebec Hockey League, a provincial minor pro league. 68 years later, the ECHL Lions are three wins away from the championship named after their local alumni. echl.com/news/2025/06/k…

@HabsOnReddit Arpon explained it in Friday's podcast: the AHL champs are almost always won by a team of AHL lifers, not a team of young NHL prospects. They're usually older, bigger, heavier, and just have more experience than a team like the Rocket, and it shows.

What’s going on with the Laval Rocket 🫣

@StuCowan1 WHICH ONE?!?!
