Anyone else think traveler’s diarrhea should be called the globe trots?

This Is So Convenient! Unless You Happen To Be Inconvenient
It’s so fantastically great when all you want to do is some regular people thing like travel or quickly buy something you need and the world tells you to go fuck yourself. The last time I had this experience was back at Christmas with Via Rail and its stupid un-staffed train station here in Kitchener …

Nice To See The Police Beating Themselves For Once
Not sure what sort of medical condition it is that causes one to slap the suspect around at the park in the middle of the day while one is on duty and has one’s uniform on, but apparently it exists. A serving PCSO from the Met Police has admitted masturbating in a south London park. …

Is That A Truck?
I AM BLOCKING TRAFFIC WITH MY TRUCK TO SEND A MESSAGE: I HAVE A TRUCK This was written during America’s dumb truck convoys, but if you take away the self-awareness at the end, it would fit perfectly into what happened in Ottawa a couple months ago. Just a bunch of goobers doin’ stuff at the …
Watch Where You Put That Feather
https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1498819792869990402 I don’t watch the show, so someone more qualified is going to have to decide if this is the worst round of Wheel of Fortune ever played. Holy crap, though. The wheel really did not like those fellas, and that woman’s puzzle solving…what even was that? Hat? Fine. I’ll give her that one. Pretty …
Our Old Ghost Friend Has Returned, And I Think It Might Be A Jays Fan
I’m a little rattled at the moment. I’m not sure how many of you remember about eight years ago when Carin and I were convinced that there was a ghost in our house. Well, he…she…they…whatever it is went quiet after that and we didn’t think much more about it once it did. Until today. While …

Nice Work, Father One Job
I personally find this hilarious, but I imagine there are several thousand Catholics out there who would vehemently disagree with my assessment. A Catholic priest in Arizona has resigned after he was found to have performed baptisms incorrectly throughout his career, rendering the rite invalid for thousands of people. The Catholic Diocese of Phoenix announced …
Listen To The Universe, Maybe
10 of History’s Most Amazing Survival Stories I’m at least vaguely familiar with almost all of these thanks to history class and osmosis, but I don’t remember ever knowing that there was a nurse on the Titanic who wound up surviving three shipwrecks. Ship’s nurse and stewardess Violet Jessop lived through a trifecta of major …
Microsoft Edge Is Doing the Automatic Image Description Thing Now
The closest I’ve gotten to using Microsoft Edge is the rare occasion when Windows opens a webpage in it instead of my default Firefox. I hit just enough keystrokes to close it, then I go on about my business. This isn’t so much because I have a hate on for Microsoft (I did make the …

Just Pick One. You’re Getting Scammed Either Way
So apparently there is an app (probably more than one but this is the only one covered here) that is, either deliberately or by accident, tricking people into thinking that it is the Android version of Truth Social, the social network that Donald Trump put his name on now that he’s not allowed on any …
