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,” […]
Dumb People Are Trying To Ruin Deadspin
I know it’s dumb people, because if your grand idea is to buy something that’s both unique and popular and then set about draining it of much of what makes it unique and popular, you are a dumb person. Deadspin works precisely because it doesn’t stick to sports. Don’t get me wrong, it can be […]
Where The Fake Celebrity Ads Come From And How They Work
Perhaps you remember me writing about those damn fake celebrity endorsements that were constantly popping up here and pretty well everywhere else on the internet for a while. If you do, chances are you may be interested in this long article about Ads Inc., one of the companies seemingly responsible for a lot of them. […]
