Why I Don’t Miss Social Media

DID YOU EVEN CONSIDER EVERY POSSIBLE LIVED EXPERIENCE BEFORE RECKLESSLY POSTING YOUR CHILI RECIPE ON SOCIAL MEDIA? Look, I get it. You thought what you posted was innocuous. Still, did you stop to think about everyone who has ever lived and how it could make them feel? I know, I know—all you did was share …

Finally! You Can Gift Patreon Time To A Friend! You’re Welcome

Obviously I’m not trying to take full credit for this development, but yeah, I might deserve a little. Since I put this up during lockdown Christmas it’s been one of the more consistently visited pages on the entire site, so you’re not convincing me it didn’t help move things along, even if that movement did …

InfoWars To Finally Become Something Of Value

I cannot wait for this. The Onion, the satirical news company that repeatedly spoofed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, has won the bankruptcy auction for control over his media empire — most notably InfoWars, the far-right, conspiracy-minded website that served as Jones’ primary online platform.

While that makes sense for studios eager to offer “more robust …

We Have Breaking News About The Blue Jays Lineup. Carissa Got Her Diploma Again!

Time for your annualish Steve loses his shit at MLB Audio for dinking with the broadcasts and fucking everything up post. I swear I could almost start an entire website devoted to only this if I knew that doing so wouldn’t cause me to bust a blood vessel and die. The reason I’m flipping my …

I’m Suddenly Not Very Thirsty

I just got what should have been a very tempting marketing email. “Splash into our summer cocktail menu,” it offered. It also used this emoji. 💦 “What,” you might be asking yourself at this moment, “is the problem there? I assume there’s a problem since you said “should have been tempting”.” The problem, my curious …

Almost Renewing Online With ServiceOntario Is An Almost Great Experience

I had to renew my health card and Ontario Photo Card this week. Since you can renew a lot of these things online now if you don’t need a new photo (thanks, Covid), I thought I’d give it a try. I had a picture taken last time I was in and I haven’t moved or …
