Update: There’s a less than zero chance that the tweet cited in this post came from a fake account. My apologies for not catching that if that is indeed the case, although I’m far from the only one who bought it. This, however, does not change the main point of what I wrote. What this …

Good Times Bad Times Drummed By An Eight-Year-Old Music Playing Kid
This is Yoyoka Soma, the happiest eight-year-old you ever did see, absolutely nailing the drums on Good Times Bad Times. There are adults with plenty more experience who can’t come close to doing that. She’s been playing for six years, which means exactly what you think it does. She started when she was two. Two! …

Those Were The Good Old Days
It seems crazy to think of things like the George W. Bush era as the good old days, but in a sense, Randy Rainbow is absolutely correct. There has never been a news cycle quite like the one that we’re living through now, and as god awful fucking terrible as those years were, if nothing …
Here Is Everyone’s Presentation
Great news, everyone! Never again will I have to spend time I could better use on just about anything else watching some thought leading influencer give an inspiring talk! Why? Because I’ve just seen them all! And now you have, too! Think of the time we’re all going to save! You’re welcome.
If English Were Phonetically Consistent
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve said that English is a frustrating, nonsensical language where rules matter until they don’t and that it could seriously due with some consistency.

Yes, Things Have Been Quiet, But That’s Only Because We Were Off Learning That Siri Existed 30 Years Ago

Happy 29th Birthday, CBC Newsworld!
It’s hard to remember a time before CBC Newsworld, or CBC News Network as we know it now. For years it’s been the first place I turn when I hear about the sort of breaking news that gives me an urge to follow it nonstop, because it’s one of the very few television news outlets …
Very Stable Genius
Randy Rainbow strikes again. This is seriously amazing. Original song here, just in case. (tiny Trump voice: As you know, I’m meeting with President Putin on Monday and we will of course ask your favourite question about meddling, and I will be asking it again and you know, what am I gonna do? I mean…he …
In Case You Have To Explain Canada Day To An American
I’m still laughing about butter tarts and bagged milk. I’ve had to explain both of those things recently to people and have found them really hard to explain. Happy Canada Day. I hope you’re staying cool, because holy snappin’ crap it’s hot out there.
The English Language Used To Be Even More Complicated
Did you know that the alphabet used to contain at least ten more letters than it does now? Me neither. I knew about the long S although my brain started to short circuit a bit when he got into explaining its usage rules, but the rest of these were new to me. And try as …
