They’re making a big deal here out of the fact that these two women were deaf and that’s likely why this happened, but personally I feel like the standing on train tracks taking pictures and not paying attention thing might have had more to do with it. Your ears may not work, but as long …

Something tells me that every night for these two might be a slow one. In an effort to make sure that they would have a slow night on the job at Wendy’s, Ryan Boria and Amy Schaner hatched themselves one heckuva plan. According to police, the logic went that if the two could find a …

I feel the tiniest bit for the guy who won’t be getting his lunch on time, but I gotta tell ya, this food delivery bot getting himself crushed by a train fills my blind heart with joy. It’s one less piece of electronic garbage polluting the sidewalk, which means one less unnecessary travel hazard for …
Back around Christmas, Steve and I went home to see my family. We took Via Rail, and I wanted to make a couple of observations about the experience.

I’m just spitballing here, but I feel like this was done during a break between rounds of posting conspiracy theories on Facebook.
