Deutsche Bank has a bad proposal for your consideration. Since more and more people are working at home now and a lot of them could very likely continue to do so once the pandemic ends, it’s going to create problems for parts of the economy that rely heavily on commuters or people otherwise being out …

Dirt Road Dirt Nap
I was a kid once. Sometimes me and my friends did some things that were…not so bright. Now and again one or more of us even got ourselves a little banged up in the process. But no matter what dumbass pastime we got up to, there was never anything included that could be considered, even …
What The Hell Is That Song Called? Who Cares. The Chorus Goes La La La La La La…
Spotify Adds Ability to Search Songs by Lyrics Apparently you’ve been able to do this for months, but I’m only finding out about it today because that’s just how things work for me now. I wonder how you would phrase one of these queries for a Siri or Google Home voice search. Can you even? …

What’s Up?
This isn’t my usual sort of jam, but I heard it yesterday and it’s been in my head since, so I figure I might as well put it in yours. There are lyrics in the video description. Now that we have gotten to 2021 and it’s basically been more of the same, I hope that …
The Blue Jays Win The East! In 1985!
I’m not sure where this tape came from, but Toronto Mike has dug up and posted audio from October 5th, 1985. That’s the day that the Toronto Blue Jays clinched their first ever AL East division title with a 5-1 win over the New York Yankees. This is the radio call of the bottom of …
The TV Team Is The Radio Team For Blue Jays Broadcasts This Year…And Beyond?
I’m going to try really hard to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one because circumstances dictate that things probably have to be different, but it’s hard to see the citing of COVID protocols as much more than a convenient excuse for Rogers to phase out dedicated baseball radio broadcasts and never …

I Deeply Apologize For This Impossible Accident
I’m not an expert on Ottawa’s municipal politics, but I feel fairly comfortable questioning the judgement of the city’s deputy mayor, George Darouze. He strikes me as the sort of guy who either is legitimately stupid or thinks that everyone else is. First things first, it’s never a good sign when even before you get …

There’s Nothing Like A Nice Day At The Bleach
It’s an old story that some of you may have already heard, but I feel the need to highlight it anyway just because it’s so…so…so…so fucking stupid. In preparation for the easing of some COVID lockdown measures last April, an area in Spain decided that it would be a solid children protecting move to hose …

The Wednesday Night War Comes To Canada
For the first time ever, Canada is getting a live wrestling war! This would be much bigger news to me personally if we were living in 2001 instead of 2021, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t historically significant if you’re a Canadian wrestling fan. And I suppose if you’re still a crazy person who tries …
Yeah Boss. I’m Super Sick. If You Don’t Believe Me, You Can Ask This Error-laden Documentation I Just Knocked Together
A 34-year-old Santwon Antonio Davis of Morrow, Georgia, finds himself in some legal trouble after allegedly doing a pretty sloppy ass job of tricking his employer into believing that he and his mother had Coronavirus so that he could take advantage of the company’s we’ll pay you while you’re stuck in quarantine policy. A manager …
