info

After an official agency sent out a tsunami warning in B.C., many British Columbians were concerned.

Minutes later, the agency corrected themselves and said that there was no warning and more info was on its way — but the damage was done and not as many people retweeted the correction as they did the original mistaken tweet.

Asking for a friend. Honestly though, there are some things we just don't understand in this world but are too afraid to ask. Like, why Mini Eggs and Eggies are considered to be the same thing. They're not, mom.

Now, when it comes to Ottawa, we're all very curious. We don't mind our own business and we all have our opinions (very strong opinions, honestly).

Vinyl to Atrack, cassette to CD, mp3 and back. Vinyl has been making a hot return and it doesn't seem to be going away. In the early 2000s up until 2014, the music industry and record stores saw the sales of both CD and Mp3 slow down to a trickling halt.

Let’s be real, we’re all modern day pirates at one time or another, but while we were busy hoisting up our black flag along the open waters of downloading, we lost the spirit of music.

It isn’t just the hipsters. Not only does it offer a richer, more holistic sound quality, but it also lasts a hell of a lot longer than any other form of music- it’s like a sonic history. Plus it just feels sexy in your hands.

Photo cred - Rupi Kaur

A Toronto photographer posted a photo of a woman menstruating and everyone lost their s****. So apparently the photo of a woman menstruating didn't follow Instagram's "Community Guidelines." Instagram is a place for self-worship, self-promotion and food. We have been conditioned to see periods as disgusting for a long time and when 'blood' is mentioned people tend to cringe and avoid the subject completely.
