Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Sask Party Calls The Cops

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: WikiLeaks: Show Trial Ending Investigative Journalism

Julian Assange's extradition hearings are frankly terrifying, and if you care about the free press, you should be worried, irrespective of whether you like Assange or Wikileaks.

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Republican President Tells Supporters To Vote Twice

Trump asked his supporters to commit a major crime, months after saying anyone who said what he just did, would make any Republican feel ill. Major newspapers barely mentioned the scandal. (Side note, if you look way way way way down there in the bottom right corner of WaPo today

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Teletubbies Falwell Likes To Watch

If you’re old enough, and into American odd news, you’ll remember Jerry Falwell saying he thought the purple Teletubbie was gay. His son carried on in the family tradition of spreading religious themed bigotry and hatred of queer people. "Christian" Trumpers who pretend they're so perfect, and pious, and cast

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Toxic Deadly Gaming Culture

One of the strangest things about modern tech is that you can easily hear what a dead murderer thought of himself and others. There are hours of video of this Rudy guy boasting about his video game prowess while calling women “pap smear”. Cops were warned about his violent harrassment

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Fixation on Ventilators morphs into Ventilation

“There’s no perfectly ‘safe’ level of ventilation because we don’t actually know what ‘safe’ is, since we don’t know how much exposure leads to transmission,” Angela Rasmussen, a Columbia University virologist,” That is from an article recommended by a virologist studying airborne diseases.

They had Marge Simpson respond directly to a real political actor referring to the Democrat VP candidate’s voice as if it sounded like the cartoon character voice acted by Julie Cavner.

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Science In Use

Right Wing media started this year telling people that the new Coronavirus was the flu, and would cause no deaths in America. Fast forward to August and almost 150,000 Americans are buried due to COVID-19 infections they didn’t overcome. Even those who recover face other problems ranging from recurring breathing

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Children Thrown Away Like Masks

The coronavirus is airborne. Most of our plans are based on it spreading by droplets and unclean hands. #KeepYourChildHome and they'll thank you in later years, even if 2020 and some of 2021 is more difficult.

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Booster Shot For The Economy

I am so not impressed by the Sask Party’s response to COVID-19. Slow Moe took days to shut down schools in March after a pandemic was declared, and now he’s charging ahead without a plan to roll back to Stage 1 of a lockdown when kids start getting sick in

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Plague Update: Post-lockdown

Even though everything isn’t re-opened, the Saskatchewan Government very much wants people to think and act as if everything is back to normal. They’ll deny that if asked. There’s no evidence of the Premier wearing a mask though to set a good example in public. As a result, the infection

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Is The Sask Party A Cult?

It’s hard to deny that the Sask Party could be a cult. I'm trying to think of a scenario where your Conservative supporters would not vote for your candidates. You could probably kill someone, go bankrupt, and increase air pollution and they'd still vote for you.Oh, wait, they will because

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: What’s Going On?

YouTuber David Doel was saying all the cops had to do to win mass public support was to come out and do nothing. They couldn’t even do nothing.
