Fair to say this is my last ever bottle of this beer.

I’m not quitting drinking or anything. It’s just that Moosehead is discontinuing the green bottles .

So my nurse practitioner said “yeah, that sounds like ADHD. Let’s prescribe you something.” and my friends, I have not been this awake in years.

My 17 year old is going through the South Park phase so this week’s household theme song is “Pete Hegseth is a Fucking Douche” set to Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone.”

I’m not a huge Radiohead fan but every now and again I’ll hear the opening strains of Planet Telex and suddenly my brain hears Jian Ghomeshi opening CBC Radio’s Q with his weird, breathy “Well, hi therrrrre.”

So screw you Jian.

I’ve had this car for 7 years and two provinces. Benefits of working from home.

There’s been a lot of talk about this next song. Maybe, maybe too much talk. This song is not a rebel song. This song is “We Like To Party (The Vengabus).”

We've fallen into an anti-immigration, anti-climate, short-sighted economic doofus era, brought to you by the guy who we thought was a smart policy wonk.

Bring back The Odyssey level weird.

Episode one the main character, a child, goes into a coma. Rest of the series is pretending suburbia, a random scrapyard and an abandoned amusement park is an apocalyptic dreamscape populated by child Nazis(one played by a young Ryan Reynolds).
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen
