The Hanish Envoy main protagonist is written as niave and closed to the world around. The exact opposite of what I would like in my Aliens. Of the endless Opposites that are essential for the Whole to exist in this book. You can really tell how much fun LeGuin had with this. Layered over philosophy.

This has become one of my favorites of your endless amout of work. Cannot get enough of your work.

American's spirit animal might be a boiled frog.

There is the official legend of Daniel Boone and the great frontier.

Then there is my family legend of being lured from New York by the Boone family for cheap land and half of our family dying in the Creek massacre in Kentucky.

Meh. Not worried about Vance. I have seen you Americans swap out Vice prez quicker than you cook your grits. He is in place only because he is a useful pawn/parrot. I doubt if he carries any allies.

First Speaker needs to be changed out before anything will go forward.

The destiny of Man is to unite, not to divide. If you keep on dividing you end up as a collection of monkeys throwing nuts at each other out of separate trees." T.H. White, The Once and Future King

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

From one Canadians standpoint, The Apocalypse Codex came out as a critique of American politics. Not much has changed.

The Kremlin sent Felonia Tramp (through Epstein) to babysit Krasnov. Behind every traitor, there's a honeypot (spy).

Look more carefully at the sponsors on each side. If some entity were to want their money to reliably maintain a compromised(extorted) incumbent in power, they should try to make sure the challenger is more odious.

Reference: India sponsorship for Canadian Conservative leader over his challenger.

Pumpkin pie. My mom would make it 1930s depression style by using carrots.

HaHa thanx. All good. Life isn't perfect. After this long maybe we all just help out each other the best we can.

Hey I've got 35 years of disappointing someone.

I am about to experiment with savory oatmeal (steel cut) do you have any suggestions?

Have you considered ommitting the sugar and going savory pancakes? Salt and pepper, onions, salsa, sour cream, cheese all become great toppings.

I believe this to be one rock inside the avalanche of failure that will come from MAGA doctrine that says the snowflake libs will fold at the first sign of "manly strength." The good people of Minneapolis have shown more bravery with peaceful protest than all of these rat bastards combined.

The battle of the Twin Cities was won by mom's with whistles.

So much will always be owed to all of these brave souls that peacefully weathered this storm this far. This will be remembered forever. May their dead be buried with honour.

If you could separate causes from results, if you could know that Paine, Marx, Jefferson, Lenin were results, not causes.. But that you cannot know.

The FSB has an asset in Washington. Russia has no incentive to end the war and dismiss that advantage.

He continually posts the directive after the ship has sailed and the media fails to note the correct time line.

Temporal laws can be ignored. Constantly amazed at the things this bandit can accomplish.

If your date stands you up at the restaurant the best thing to do is to post on social media that she is no longer invited.

He is admitting that his entire plan is to trade Greenland for the Nobel peace prize. Brilliant idea! Send in the army and it costs him nothing.

Did he just admit that he wants to trade Danish Greenland for a Norwegian Nobel peace prize?

Canada's entire strategy to stop a US invasion is to take our names off the map. Americans will never be able to find us.

I can think of one fat bastard that thinks Greenland is part of Norway.

For me it is the feeling. My suggestion FWIW go to a very nice Asian restaurant. Order green tea to start. Then sit and savour the smell of the tea and sip while you ponder the menu.

The wrestling is awesome but I followed for the guitar work!

Rugby is perhaps the best contact sport ever invented. It is the progenitor of football, it can be played with minimal equipment costs and rugby players eat their dead.

Watched the women's world finals last fall. They were amazing.
