There are so many of these heart-warming, and heart-breaking, war stories that are still not known, and now never will be as the lives of the WWII generation come to a close.

Not to be confused with looking into the abyss. 😉

Really, though, the anecdote from Mrs Whatsit was an absolute gem, as if it came out of some deeply introspective memoir or fiction book.
Makes me want to get some more of the story!

Geophysicist Stefan Burns, at YT, is an interesting source for authoritative coverage of this unique solar system interloper. He stays up on the newest observational research, too.

Here’s the last of his videos I’ve watched. He’s very expert. https://youtu.be/TxNjy_jvkml?

Mrs Whatsit:

Lovely!

Something happens when a baby looks into your eyes and you look back.

Watching these many arrests I’ve noticed a pattern, and that is, when the cop first puts his hands on the perp–usually a woman—the first thing she cries—a la George Floyd—is that she “can’t breathe” (this, of course, contradicted by the fact of her continuously screaming, mouthing off at the cops, and yelling “what did I do,”claiming, “I didn’t do nuthing”).

Next, comes the claim that they’re “pregnant,” and, therefore, deserve special, more gentle treatment.

The new thing I’ve noticed recently, in the news, is male crooks claiming that they’re “trans,” that they actually are, or are becoming a women and, again, deserving of some special treatment (maybe even a spot in a jail for females.)

Linked below is the report of the sentence given to the male Nicholas Roske (who now calls himself “Rosie,” along with the appropriate pronouns), the would be assassin who tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh, and how his lawyers and parents argued that because he was now claiming to be a woman, a “transgender,” and he was having a rough time of it, he thus deserved some special, more lenient sentence/treatment (the prosecutors argued for a sentence of 30 years, the perp was sentenced today to only 4).*

It’s “blah blah blah”:

The terror organization added that regarding the “other issues included in President Trump’s proposal concerning the future of the Gaza Strip and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, these are linked to a comprehensive national position and to relevant international laws and resolutions.”
Hamas said that these will be discussed in a “unified Palestinian national framework in which Hamas will participate and contribute responsibly.”

Or more bluntly: “No”.

Expanded — “We won’t surrender our arms and persons; we will drag everything out with endless piles of Bullshit.”

To which, y’know: tick tock, time’s a wastin’ until 6:00pm Sunday. Meanwhile the IDF oughta step up the killing in Gaza city.
