The destruction of this apartment tower is ridiculous. How is it in any way acceptable for a state to destroy an obvious civilian complex with weapons of war? We’re supposed to believe that the hundreds of occupants were all enemy combatants, and Israel is safer having made them homeless?

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: An Unstealable Bike
Coming soon, in six to ten months, in Spanish first. A bike made with a frame that comes apart and becomes the lock for the bike. If the lock is broken, the bike probably won’t work, or will be less desirable for a thief. – Hat tip to Adam.

The out-of-control police response to protests against the killing of Michael Brown in a St. Louis, MO suburb, continues. Our reporter @rdevro was shot with rubber bullets/beanbags by police last night, spent night in jail. Is due to be released w/o charge soon.— The Intercept (@the_intercept) August 19, 2014 Yesterday

It's so hot out you can't even hear the #climatechange Deniers making jokes about "Where's Global Warming?"…— Saskboy K. (@saskboy) August 14, 2014 Yes, it’s so hot out you can’t even hear the #climatechange Deniers making jokes about “Where’s Global Warming?”… you know, because when it’s -30 you hear the

While Sona’s been found guilty of one charge, questions remain about how he would have managed to have log files removed from CPC Headquarter’s computer database known as CIMS. "There is no record of the accused accessing that database at anytime" Hearn says, but notes others did, incl. Ken Morgan.—

Tesla having a range of 250 miles makes a cross continent trip possible, especially if you’re as clever as the inventor of the T5. He gave rides to people in exchange for a little electricity.

I blame Canada. The world lost a really genuine person who tried at least as hard as Jim Carey and Steve Carell, to make everyone laugh. Aww shucks, Williams was priceless. Let’s try to use this time to give hope to those with depression, and turn this problem around for

Rewatched “Cast Away” [8/10] a few days ago. Also saw “Dallas Buyer’s Club” [6/10] which is based on a true story of AIDS in the mid ’80s. It starts out in a confusing way, and takes forever to get to the plot which never is very dramatic. It’s basically just

With the mountain of evidence piling up against dirty tarsand bitumen extraction, those who’ve sucked on the oilpatch teat too long to maintain any perspective, are desperate to save face. Some think saving face means making fun of mine. @saskboy New compelling evidence that saskboys goatee is a climate change

I got to tour EMS Headquarters in Regina while meeting most of the EMTs and Paramedics involved in rescuing me from my cardiac arrest incident on July 1st. (Jordan, was away at an important life event, so couldn’t make it.)

Everything is carbon. Everyone's fooled when you're part of Shell's team, everything is dying, when you're living big oil's dream. #Lego— Saskboy K. (@saskboy) July 09, 2014 A little spill happens now and then, destroying life. Eerie, but awesome ad targeting LEGO's partnership with Shell: Everything is NOT awesome –

Glad to see some Danes standing up for Canada. A Canadian stands up for the Danes. The Danes stand up for themselves. A few points have arisen as a result of this discussion, largely in defence of “car culture.” I’d like to address them if I may: We love our

I’ve avoided making many blog posts on Middle East politics because they tend to descend into dogmatic shouting matches on the Internet. I also don’t know every historic, geographic, religious, and political detail so don’t count myself among the experts. One doesn’t have to be an expert to comment on

It’ll be hard to justify using USB now. It basically must be assumed to be malicious/infected. It was so nice to have a standard port too! I guess USB condoms are going to become a lot more common.

I had a mysterious $150 charge on my credit card from June. I called Visa and asked what it pertained to. They said they’d flag it and that they’d be in touch. They never did get in touch, but they did reverse the charge for WPY*Fundrazr Victoria, which appears to

Buffalo Days is on in Regina, and I went on the opening day in large part because Lonestar was the headline band in the evening.
