If we’re going to take Bell to task for raising rates during a massive global disease outbreak, it’s only fair that we do the same when Rogers follows suit. Yesterday I cracked open our latest bill and was greeted by the news that, starting in May, the monthly price for our internet service would be …

Bell Has Decided To Bell
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve said it, but once again, Bell is proving me correct. If nothing else, they’re consistent. At a time when just about everyone is trying to help people out and make things a little easier, Bell has decided that it would be better to do not that. Changes …
Deadspin Is Back, At Least In Name
When last we spoke of Deadspin, dumb ass ownership was doing its level best to fuck the whole thing up. And shortly after I posted that, it succeeded. The entire editorial staff quit, and the site went silent for nearly four months. But as of a few days ago, it is no longer silent. It’s …
Want To Join My Facebook Group? No? Too Bad!
The other night Carin was annoyed that somebody had, not for the first time, added her to a group on Facebook without any sort of warning or permission. I agreed that this would be irritating and then, quite reasonably I thought, asked if there was some setting that she hadn’t gotten around to changing. “No,” …

Dumb People Are Trying To Ruin Deadspin
I know it’s dumb people, because if your grand idea is to buy something that’s both unique and popular and then set about draining it of much of what makes it unique and popular, you are a dumb person. Deadspin works precisely because it doesn’t stick to sports. Don’t get me wrong, it can be …

We Apologize Partially And Unreservedly
I love traveling by train. VIA Rail is a bit pricey, but it’s definitely worth it especially if you’re like me and feel so horrible on most bus trips that you just want to turn around and go home. Between the extra room, the ability to buy food and drinks and the customer service which …
I Don’t Think Affordable Means What You Think It Means
The main point of this is that these assholes got a permit to build one thing and built something completely different, which is garbage. The second big thing here is that the damn city could have fined them even more heavily and didn’t, which could potentially wind up being garbage. But my mind keeps getting …

This Call Is A Scam
As long as I am of sound mind, I can’t imagine ever falling for one of these computer support scams. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren’t me and still do. There’s sadly not a whole lot that can or is being done to stop any of it, which makes videos like this fairly valuable. Not …
Record Labels Are Still Out Here Screwing Artists Left And Right And Lying About It
It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned it, so since you may have forgotten because we all have Spotify now, record labels and the people who make decisions for them have always been and continue to be pretty terrible. If you have trouble believing that or for lord knows what reason want to dispute it, …
