I’m sure there are some sight gags I’m missing here, but I filled that void by unconsciously figuring out the sounds for correct and incorrect letters like I did when I used to do my best to play games as a kid. And I knew exactly where the share thing was going, but it was …

Now We Know Why His Brain Isn’t Growing
I’m not sure this is the stupidest media interview I’ve ever seen, but it’s up there. It definitely gets credit for packing a whole lot of dipshit into slightly less than a minute. Holy Christ. Graham was speaking with Insulate Britain climate activist Cameron Ford, and started the interview by referencing the group’s tactic of …
More Than The Lights Were Flashing
Investigators say that Terry Majors, 30, called 911 Thursday afternoon seeking medical assistance. But once inside a Sunstar ambulance, Majors allegedly removed his clothes and began masturbating, according to a misdemeanor criminal complaint. Majors, who “was wearing a condom” at the time, was “looking at EMTs that were trying to treat him” while he was …
If You Think Blind People Are Scary now, You’re Really Gonna Hate This
I have not much to offer here in terms of worthwhile comment on this particular device. Maybe these folks will finally be the ones who are able to make canes full of sensors and software into a thing. Open-sourcing the design is at least a good start. The reason I’ve called you all here today …

Must Be A Lot Of People Not Paying On Time
Today’s badly written headline: Large power outage in Kitchener restored “We’re sorry we turned it back on for a while there. All fixed now,” said a spokesperson I invented in my head upon reading this mess.
Down With The Doo-Wop
The There I Ruined It YouTube channel definitely lived up to its name with this one. I’m never going to be able to listen to “Down With The Sickness” with a straight face again. This particular ditty was unleashed as a fundraiser for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, so feel free to toss some …
The Words Aren’t The Problem. You Are
Words and phrases you may want to think twice about using I’ve said this many times in many different places, but one more time with feeling, I guess. I wish we would put more energy into focusing on intent rather than language. I’m not going to say that there aren’t any decent points to be …
Creepy. Gross. Inaccurate
Today in mangled headlines: Illinois Mom Accused of Shooting Dead Man Who Refused to Kiss Her Is necrophilia still illegal there? Seriously, what would have been wrong with “Illinois Mom Accused of Killing Man Who Refused to Kiss Her”? Prosecutors in Cook County said that the trio were having a drink together when Resendiz-Florez allegedly …
I May Never Tweet Again
It’s not like me to be proud of a tweet. Hell, I barely want to be on Twitter at all and have come close to deleting my account a few times since all this honk honk anti-vaccine overthrow the government truck shit started tormenting cities and blocking borders across Canada. But I’m pretty pleased with …
