    Summary

    via NTBTS kinkmeme: "It's 17 years after the split of the band and either have spoken or seen each other in person. Matt and Jay meet up anonymously in a hookup app without either of them knowing who the other is. Maybe they exchange headless nudes and Jay can't quite put a finger on what's so familiar about the person he is talking (and jerking off) to."

    Summary

    There are no windows in the Skydome’s cramped detention room so nobody gets the moment that Jay’s nose starts bleeding, dripping heavily into his lap. His hands are still cuffed behind his back. He tries to wipe the blood off on his shoulder and succeeds in smearing it across his lips, over his left cheek. It keeps dripping like a leaky faucet.

    Summary

    On July 11, 2025, Canadian singer-songwriter Jay McCarrol was arrested for the murder of Luke Lalonde, a member of his live band. He was charged with second degree murder and sentenced to 8 years of incarceration in a federal correctional facility.

    Famously, despite damning and public video evidence and multiple eyewitness accounts, McCarrol has denied any and all connection to the crime.

    On December 25, 2026, Jon “Matt” Johnson was arrested on charges of domestic terrorism. He was sentenced to 12 years of incarceration in the same facility.

    The audio you are about to hear was recorded in the Collins Bay Multilevel Correctional Institution between the dates of February 19 and March 3, 2027.*

    Summary

    In March of 2003, engineers at Research In Motion performed a successful preliminary test of a revolutionary new instant messaging software they dubbed BlackBerry Messenger. This beta version quickly became the communication tool of choice among RIM employees, with nearly 150,000 messages passing through the system internally before BBM officially launched to the public in August of 2004. Here are a few of those messages sent and received by co-CEO Mike Lazaridis.

    Summary

    The whiteboard is the catalyst, but it really isn’t. It tips over a series of dominoes that lead to Jay’s bedroom, get under his feet, and walk him out the door. But, in the morning after, when the whiteboard has that big, capital D ‘Don’t’ on it, and Matt won’t be honest about having written it, despite it clearly being his handwriting, the whiteboard isn’t the catalyst, because Matt gets up on the couch and erases it, and it’s almost like it wasn’t there to begin with.

    A retro/prospective on Jay McCarrol's fame.
