Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: American Riots Continue
I KNEW there was something wrong there. I just didn't think it was the *Hitler* pic that had been photoshopped XD https://t.co/lp22xJVfO6 — GRRRR, Rant-o-matic Shark (@grrrr_shark) June 3, 2020 The United States has been led by a war criminal, and by a now open fascist since I’ve been 20.

ICE T sums it up for people who don’t understand the looting: People are saying.. They should protest like this or demonstrate like that… We tried Taking a Knee… A RIOT is a RIOT.. It happens when the people can no longer take the BS.. — ICE T (@FINALLEVEL) May

WHO wants people to be aware that there’s no assured victory against COVID-19. I still think it’s possible to eradicate it, but it will take a global effort that surpasses what we’ve tried thus far. We, for one thing, definitely have to figure out what’s going on in cases of

The Regina Car Share Co-op‘s newest cars for their fleet have arrived, and are being prepared. Thanks to Affinity Credit Union, the car share had enough money to purchase 2 Nissan LEAFs from B.C. They together cost less than 1 new Nissan, but still have many years of usefulness and

It’s become trendy to be thrifty. Frugal, even. There’s always been a case for being frugal, but now it’s more apparent to a society facing supply chain disruptions from an unsure labour market and contracted globalism. Have you started a Victory Garden this year? When there were social events, did

You’ve probably got friends on that gosh awful Facebook website who’re clamouring to go back to normal. They want the certainty of a steady paycheque, the regular services, and plentiful entertainment options that Regina offers in a typical year. (You know how the easily bored are always saying there’s so

The reckless and callous Sask Party prepares on Monday to start the calculated risk AKA killing process. Because golf is literally more important than some guy’s grandma, amirite? More than 400 sick health care workers in the biggest city west of our capital city. No biggie, I guess?#SlowMoe has killed

That's sick. Heaven forbid that poor people not be poor on the other end of a crisis where they lose family members and friends. Wouldn't want to accidentally make the country better as a result of problem solving. — John Klein (@JohnKleinRegina) April 28, 2020 Is the risk greater in

We all know what a stable genius the President is, you really have to admire him coming up with quality solutions on the fly during a press conference. Medical doctors are going to try his ideas as soon as they find a volunteer and an unethical doctor to administer them.

It’s no surprise to most reading this that I have a low opinion of Saskatchewan’s Premier. He’s an unlovable oaf. He’s never been elected by the general electorate to be Premier, and his party takes corrupt corporate donations. Yet he gets lots of media support from Rawlco and other big

This has been obvious to me for most of the last decade, after it became clear that good information was never going to win over enough people, because disinformation had already corrupted too many. https://t.co/jbwxnjMkB2 — Saskboy from #SocialDistancing (@saskboy) April 20, 2020 Oil prices turn negative for first time

The problem with this Facebook censorship/correction of disinformation is that they’re really bad at censoring. My blog has been blocked for years, and they’ve never responded to my appeal to find out why. I can share links to my blog only if they’re in a tweet, not a direct abandonedstuff.com

Protests continued: Over 2,000 people attended an event formed by San Franciscans called themselves 'THE ANTI-MASK LEAGUE,' denouncing the mandatory masking ordinance The gathering was of "public spirited citizens, skeptical physicians and fanatics," writes historian Crosby — Tim Mak (@timkmak) April 19, 2020 I once agreed that masks were probably

Ended up stumbling onto The Agenda, and this episode was great for anyone interested in the plague, or in city planning to respond to it. If you want to be able to speak constructively about when we’ll start going back to work, restart the economy, or get back to normal,

My great hope is that he’s now less of a jerk. https://t.co/Xt0aX4E6KJ — Paul Doroshenko, Q.C.

Boris Johnson is at death’s doorstep. This would otherwise be an unremarkable point, except he’s inexplicably the Prime Minister of the UK. Sorry you started taking the advice of doctors seriously, too late for everyone including yourself. But then again, ignoring experts is what you've made a career out of.https://t.co/pJK3uLvEIj
