Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Great news, you guys! Based on some of the comments in this anonymous survey of municipal administrators, I think I might be qualified to work for the city! Well, at least if banging on about most of this same stuff for almost a decade counts towards the standard. The survey, conducted by government relations firm …

Tell me again about how AI is the future, because it sure as shit ain’t the present. A school in Kentucky sent students home with a bound agenda that included absurd errors clearly made by AI. The periodic table was nonsense. The map of the U.S. lists the state of Illinois as “Vitoiis,” and Kentucky …

I’m familiar with TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) and NACHO (Not A Chance Hormuz Opens) as food acronyms to describe Trump’s approach to policy. But apparently I’m behind the times, because I was unaware of two more that people have been using. One of the benefits of having no social media, perhaps. Anyway, they’re fun, …

There’s some internet wisdom I’ve heard over the years that says that when a headline contains a question, the answer to that question is almost always no. Quite often, it’s correct.

There was a ridiculous story back in February that we never got around to posting, but since there’s an update, let’s fix that now. A police officer, clearly one of the department’s best and brightest, pulled a woman over for texting and driving because he had seen her holding a phone in her right hand. …

I don’t know how much Lewis Kalb paid to win this call an inning of baseball on the radio auction, but judging by how well he did, I think the Phillies ought to be paying him. It’s hard to believe that it is, but if this really is the first time he’s ever done commentary, …

That title likely won’t make sense to anyone but Carin, but it works and it’s the best I’ve got, so we’re going with it. Speaking of Carin, any of you who know her, do yourselves a favour and picture this in her voice. Take it from me, it’s at least twice as amusing that way. …
It’s not every day that being found dead next to a life-sized sex doll isn’t the most embarrassing part of such an event, but here we are. Investigators say Ryan Smith, 41, and a colleague were dispatched last week to a home at the Rock Creek Apartments in Omaha to collect the body of an …

I remember the first time I heard about those AI services that could summarize your inbox and send emails for you. “What a stupid idea,” I recall thinking. “I’d spend more time cleaning up after it than I would getting anything else done, and I’m sure it would wind up missing a bunch of important …

But I understand why they may not have wanted or been allowed to use it. Had they asked me, I’d have suggested Dripadvisor. Kidding aside, Flush and Tell: Waterloo Region sounds like it could be extremely helpful. And it’s nice to see that there appears to be an emphasis on accessibility. So often those concerns …
