Good for you for nearly finishing 3BP!

I haven’t given up. I’m resting.

Cixin Liu reminds me so much of Silver Age Sci-Fi, though with the weird Chi-Com twist.

American sci-fi has gone so social justice — except for Sad Puppies throwbacks — that I haven’t bothered in decades.

A gentleman I’d not heard of: Dick Schory.

Typical it’s on the Left, no it’s on the Right! whoopety-doo early novelty stereo recordings. Quite fun!

Another one bites the dust.

Same as ours.

The Federal-Aid Road Act of 1944 mandated construction of an interstate highway system. More than a decade later, only a fraction of the roads had actually been constructed because of the expense. In 1956, the combination of a more populous and mobile nation, and President Dwight Eisenhower’s recognition during World War II of the importance of a highway network to mobility and defense, prompted Congress to provide the funding to construct an interstate highway system.

After failed attempts at legislation and significant wrangling between the two chambers, the House and Senate agreed to fund the construction of a “National System of Interstate and Defense Highways” with the establishment of the Highway Trust Fund.

I’m at 81% of Volume 3. Still a happy customer. Hastening slowly as I’m prone to getting myself sidetracked with other books and hobbies. Hang in there!

And, Citizen, don’t forget to wear your mask to Calculus Class! 🙂

Speaking of which, the Great Covid Wall of China appears to have some cracks in it:

Really a bit of a bore and am not looking forward to the upcoming several months of Covid Theatre while it burns itself out.

I confess I never finished the second book of The “Three Body Problem.” Christmas and whatnot.

You do any better?

“Do they not realize how tone deaf all this makes them?”

They don’t care. Trudeau’s behavior demonstrates that reality.

Besides the MSM covering for them, there’s “I read that MSM polling shows 2:1 support for Turdeau. Perhaps 1/3 support truckers, 1/3 support Woke Dictatorship and 1/3 wringing their hands fearful of conflict.”

I think that likely to be fairly accurate given that the same percentages held sway during our revolution and, another poll showing 54% support for Canada’s extreme Covid restrictions.

Canadian truckers crossing the border can’t make a sustainable living when after each trip upon return they must submit to 14 days quarantine. Given that most are vaccinated, more than anything else I suspect that’s the bridge too far for them.

In the aggregate, Canadians have fashioned the chains of their enslavement. May their chains rest lightly upon their necks.

I do wonder how long it will take Canada’s law enforcement and military to face that they are now the enforcement arm of a totalitarian State?
