This one’s been out for a while, but it’s the first I’m hearing it. The main structure sounds like it’s leaning pretty heavily on an old Led Zeppelin tune, but Zeppelin lifted from everybody and he’s lifting from a Zeppelin song I really like, so whatever. Lyrics are here: Jake Bugg – Kiss Like the …

Finger…On…The Button…
I am so tempted to delete every Raw, Smackdown and main roster WWE PPV from my never ending wrestling watchlist. What in the actual hell is this retribution shit? For weeks these goobers have been running around like a lame version of the Nexus, messing with the broadcast feed, menacing employees and misclassified independent contractors, …
The Coat May Not Be Fleeced, But You Will Be
I realize I’ve asked this a thousand times, but why does everything need technology in it? Why, for instance, do jackets now require batteries to power their built-in heating systems? Isn’t the coat combined with your own body supposed to be the heating system? I just get so furious when I read things like this. …

Don’t Forget The Dolly. I Want To Bring The Portable TV Along
For the low low price of $250 in 1959 money (around $2200 today) plus another $5.25 ($47 now) for the rechargeable battery, you too can own your very own battery powered television. Imagine being able to watch your favourite programs on a plane or train. It’s as handy as a camera. It only weighs 15 …

Let’s All Dance The Three-Step
Because apparently we have no use for the two-step around here. Waterloo Region’s top public health doctor says the area is on track to move into Step 3 of Ontario’s reopening framework along with the rest of the province next Friday. “That’s the plan,” medical officer of health Dr. Hsiu-Li Wang said during a weekly …
Why Is Everyone But WWE Good At Empty Arena Shows
I’ll never be caught up on wrestling again. That’s just the way it is, and I’m ok with that. It’s not a bad way to watch, actually. When there’s so many things you want to see, it’s nice not to feel the pressure to try to keep up. There’s just too much out there anymore …

Who Wants To Be As Broke As They Were When They Got Here?
I almost want to feel bad for this poor guy. He’s got his big moment on national television. Brimming with confidence, he tells a nice story about how the show inspired him to embrace being a smart nerd and to go to medical school. And then he blows the first question that whoever it is …

Mmmm…Crookies!
Today’s lesson: Never rob a bakery. If their security cameras get a clear shot of your face, it might just wind up baked onto cookies that are then sold to the public. Soon enough, you will be recognized, arrested and eaten. A Milwaukee man faces charges for allegedly burglarizing a bakery on the city’s south …
Welcome To The 90s, And To Insta-Cart
I don’t know what my favourite part of this video is. The deconstruction of the name “Insta-Cart”, the realization of where babies come from, the delivery windows that sounded a lot like what happened when Carin and I tried to use modern Instacart for the first time last year, the terms and conditions, the fees, …
Can You Help Me With My Bone? Uh…I Mean Can I Help You With Your Phone?
I’m not excusing anything that Juan Esteban Ramirez may have done and I don’t want to go full victim blamer (it’s your right to have naked photos of yourself in your own possession without fear of some creep pilfering them for personal gratification), but why are we handing over our phones to some fella at …
