“OK Boomer” Meets Public Enemy

“Ok boomer” has become Generation Z’s endlessly repeated retort to the problem of older people who just don’t get it, a rallying cry for millions of fed up kids. Teenagers use it to reply to cringey YouTube videos, Donald Trump tweets, and basically any person over 30 who says something condescending about young people — […]

Saturday Snap – A Strange (and Strangely Exciting?) Raffle Prize at @officialRPL Staff Day

I was a bit surprised to see what I thought was some sort of sex lotion in one of the raffle baskets I ended up winning at the RPL Staff Development Day yesterday. Fortunately (?), my reading comprehension isn’t so great for a librarian and my wife seemed a bit too relieved to inform me […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go Flames Go (April 2004 Stanley Cup Run)

Saturday Snap – Hockey’s Back! (And so is beer!)

I’ve been trying to greatly reduce my beer drinking from summer camping levels (essentially down to one per week instead of one per hour!) and I’m also trying to drink only terrible tasting low-carb beer (fuck, I’m old.) But I made a special exception for one last beer I had left from our Calgary trip […]
