Friday Fun Link – A Strong Contender For The #covidiot Hall of Fame?

I mean, to be fair, this guy might be thinking of how some people have the letters “Dr” in front of their name. But that’s an abbreviation instead of an actual academic designation (where the letters go *after* the name.) So yeah, if you’re implying that your Facebook-based research methods give you more knowledge than […]

Multiple Thoughts on Multiple Elections #skpoli #yqr #yxe

In order… SASK PROVINCIAL ELECTION (OCT 26) 1. In my initial post-mortem, I chalked up at least one big factor in the NDP’s failure to do well up to people wanting the status quo during a pandemic. (This was bolstered by the BC NDP actually growing their majority a few days earlier.) But as detailed […]

What Anti-Mask People Sound Like To Me…

[Inspired by every Facebook thread about masks I’ve ever seen and the beautiful rants of Brent Terhune…] “Listen up sheeple! Wal-Mart thinks they can make me wear pants in their store just because they have a legal right to set policies for their own store and just because the government says pants are necessary to […]

Friday Fun Link – Top Five Experiments In Space

I recently read Scott Kelly’s “Endurance” which is a combination of a traditional autobiography along with with a travelogue about his record-breaking year-long experience in space.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt- When Masks Were Optional (March 2005)
