I vote that we change mix and match to this when it comes to the practice of doling out the AstraZeneca Moderna/Pfizer combo for COVID vaccines, because holy hell was I ever flattened by mine. I very much wanted my buddy to be right, but the victory goes handily to the nurse, I’m afraid. Before …

I Am Fully Vaccinated For Some Reason
I’m extremely happy to have it done, but I’m also equally confused and annoyed that it happened. I have no idea how it is that I, a fella, have both of my doses while Carin, who not only got her first one nearly a month ahead of me but who more importantly did so because …
Good Morning, Class. Welcome To Today’s Lesson, Entitled Please Don’t Murder The Vulnerable
Unvaccinated Ontario long-term care workers will have to participate in educational program I have mixed feelings about this. Surely it’s going to convince some of the people on the fence to climb over to the right side of it, but there’s just as much chance of it being resented by those whose minds are already …
The Who Wants To Come Over And Look At My Crap Challenge
‘Blue poop challenge’ aims to help people better understand their gut health Something this silly maybe shouldn’t irritate me so much, but here we are. It’s not the concept I have a problem with.

Some Interesting Choices There, Doug
In a sure sign that things are going great and everyone is perfectly happy, Doug Ford quietly conducted a massive cabinet shuffle on a Friday afternoon. It feels to me like he just shuffled it, but apparently it’s been a couple of years. Man, time moves fast. Anyway, he made a couple of interesting choices …
Sir, We Donut Want You Eating In Here
It seems to me that if I were an identity thief and a shoplifter who was already on probation, I would want to keep a low profile. What I would not want is to be caught doing something silly like, say, being an asshole to store clerks during a pandemic. Guelph police were first called …
Look Both Ways, Officer
Police locate missing 6-year-old boy after nearly being struck by train God this stuff annoys me. I don’t know if they still teach kids to read the news as a way of improving their own writing like they did when I was in school, but it might be time to fucking stop if yes. That …
