This is supposed to be satire, but it’s a little too on the nose. Bell is just the worst. I’m not sure if there’s anything for which they can be criminally prosecuted for blatantly stealing all of that COVID emergency business relief money, but if there is, may it rain down upon them like vengeance […]

The Dumbest Smart Laundry System Ever
Ten years ago, I wrote this frustrating rundown of trying to refill my laundry card. That was 10 years ago! And the sad thing is very little has changed. We have made some improvements, but the system still has some pretty big flaws in it, and the flaws are brain-snappingly stupid. Back in November, for […]
Bugger Off, Air Canada
Air Canada urges Ottawa to adopt ‘science-based approach’ to reopen travel This is rich coming from the same people that have started selling all the seats again, distancing be damned. Why are they allowed to do that, by the way? If it’s not safe enough for bars, restaurants, water parks, churches or pretty much anyone […]
Landlords Are Shit
No, not all of them. Calm down. But these jagoffs who are refusing to apply for the government’s rent relief programs to help struggling tenants can feel free to rot in whatever murky evils lurk underneath hell. I get it. Nobody likes a hit to their bottom line. But stop and do the math, guys. […]
Nobody Likes An Hour Long Advertisement, YouTube
I went off about this long ass ads on YouTube business at least once before, but I’m going to need to do it again here because holy shit, these people just set some new standards. Thankfully I can skip ads now unlike seven years ago when that was written. If I couldn’t, this post would […]
Worker Indignity, The Game
Perfect soundtrack! If Amazon thinks that this makes them come off well, they are wrong. Amazon turns warehouse tasks into video games to make work ‘fun’ So what we’re gonna do, see, is we’re gonna take your crappy warehouse job and we’re gonna turn it into a video game so that you’ll think you’re playing […]
Rogers Has Decided To Rogers
If we’re going to take Bell to task for raising rates during a massive global disease outbreak, it’s only fair that we do the same when Rogers follows suit. Yesterday I cracked open our latest bill and was greeted by the news that, starting in May, the monthly price for our internet service would be […]
Bell Has Decided To Bell
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve said it, but once again, Bell is proving me correct. If nothing else, they’re consistent. At a time when just about everyone is trying to help people out and make things a little easier, Bell has decided that it would be better to do not that. Changes […]
Deadspin Is Back, At Least In Name
When last we spoke of Deadspin, dumb ass ownership was doing its level best to fuck the whole thing up. And shortly after I posted that, it succeeded. The entire editorial staff quit, and the site went silent for nearly four months. But as of a few days ago, it is no longer silent. It’s […]
Want To Join My Facebook Group? No? Too Bad!
The other night Carin was annoyed that somebody had, not for the first time, added her to a group on Facebook without any sort of warning or permission. I agreed that this would be irritating and then, quite reasonably I thought, asked if there was some setting that she hadn’t gotten around to changing. “No,” […]
