I don’t have a story about going to a mass clinic or being in a risk group like Carin does. I got my first shot because I happen to be over 40 and they decided to release some AstraZeneca to select pharmacies and doctor’s offices for us. My doctor ended up on the list, so …

So Here’s A Bad Idea That Won’t Make Anything Any Better
Majority of Canadians say music streaming services should support CanCon: CRTC survey I find this somewhat surprising and more than a little stupid. Not the Canadian content bit so much, that I somewhat understand. I don’t think content quotas ought to be dictated to global services by any country’s government, but the desire to hear …

I Totally Agree With This Guy
I’m a member at the Funny Music Project, and every month I get a newsletter full of album and video goodness. This gem was among all the new awesome (uh-oh, should I say awesome anymore?). I wished it had been around when I wrote about yeet because it could have fit perfectly. I think the …
Twitter Contemplates Suicide
Twitter testing new feature that advises users to rethink ‘harmful’ tweets I’ve heard tell that people still sometimes use Twitter for other things, but without harmful tweets and complaints about harmful tweets, what’s left? I’m only half kidding when I ask that. I don’t use Twitter all that much anymore, but whenever I’m there I’m …

The Border Isn’t Closed. Just Run Through The Loophole

Just Implement Paid Sick Days Already, You Dufuses
I haven’t been as on top of the Doug Ford stuff lately as I usually am (no reason, really), but this seems like a good time to make a comeback. Can we all agree that this criticism of yesterday’s Liberal budget is pretty fucking rich coming from these clowns, who have done everything in their …

Hey Robot Might End UP Being My New Favourite Party Game
This sounds pretty fun, and I’ll bet it’s surprisingly difficult. Everybody House Games has come up with an idea they’re calling Hey Robot. It’s a game where you’re given a word, and then you have to try to get your digital assistant (Google, Alexa, etc) to say it in a set number of turns. There’s …

I’m Still Alive!
So it’s been two weeks since I got my first COVID vaccine, and so far, so good. The worst thing I can say about it is my arm was super tender for one night and I kept waking myself up by bumping it when I moved in my sleep. I didn’t have to take a …
