Dumbledore was gay all his life – but not now?

Dumbledore was gay all his life – but not now?

Comments 0 Comment

JK Rowling produced a world of magic and tolerance that changed a generation and weirdly she’s turning her back on all of that. When the author of the Harry Potter series revealed that Dumbledore was gay in 2007, she didn’t write it into the books. And she didn’t put it into the movies. But she did act astonished at the idea that everybody hadn’t already realised that Dumbledore was gay. I didn’t know, to be honest. I always thought he and Minerva McGonigal…

Chief Wahoo Off to His Happy Hunting Grounds

The first time I wrote about this obviously offensive logo was in 1998 – and no, I can’t find it dammit! Regardless, it was a hot button issue back then and twenty years later, the Chief Wahoo logo is finally being removed from the Cleveland Indians’ uniform next year. Not this year. Next year. Why a whole year? Because the Indians organization are looking forward to being talked about for a full year debating this undebatable issue. Used in various expressions…

def. Moral Relativism (or Ethical Relativism): The position that moral or ethical propositions do not reflect objective and/or universal moral truths, but instead make claims relative to social, cultural, historical or personal circumstances. The reason for this lofty-sounding philosophical gobbledygook is due to this chart that was released by Gallup today measuring the satisfaction with the moral and ethical climate in the United States. The red line indicates that Republicans are now more satisfied with the “moral and ethical climate” of the…

No Such thing as a Free Lunch – or WiFi

Comments 0 Comment

It’s a common scenario: You drop into the local coffee shop and having a few extra minutes on your hands, you pull out your phone or your laptop and fire it up. Then the next thing you do is look for the free WiFi, and then you… should stop! Unless of course, you feel like sharing everything you have on your computer or phone with a hacker that is. Then, knock yourself out. Wi-Fi hotspots are seemingly everywhere now and…

Winterize Your Home in 2018 Completely For Free*

*Okay, it’s not really free, but in the end, you’ll save more than you’ll spend so technically… let’s just get into it and you’ll see. Winters are the hardest season on our homes, and our wallets. Keeping us warm and cozy costs money and potentially not just in our energy bills as repairs from seasonal damage are never cheap. Yet, the cost of owning a home in Canada can be lessened by taking some time, expending some energy and spending…

My brother Michael spent a year in China working as an engineer. Being the person he was, he enjoyed living as authentically as possible and learned how the locals went about their lives, including how they cooked. As a result, whenever he would come home to visit, he would inflict his education on us, and make us learn these super-authentic techniques for cooking. The most memorable meal was this Peking Duck three-day extravaganza that included plucking a duck, marinating it,…

Trump and Mitch

The Worst Person in the United States (The Dick on the Left)

Comments 0 Comment

Donald Trump is an easy target as the worst person in America because he is, as everyone knows, a fucking moron who also appears to be a  traitor. Although, considering that whole “moron” thing, it probably wasn’t intentional. He just fell into it and couldn’t get out. And here we are. However, the person who is worse is his number one enabler, the Senate Leader Mitch McConnel. Mitch is a piece of work, to say the least. The ultimate obstructionist, he…
