The process started in the 50s but has gained speed and accelerated since Nixon's Southern Strategy. GOP decided winning was more important than honouring the colour of the constitution, weaponized religion and accelerated the decent into religiosity and national fascism the US is dying from today.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped..."

A dozen BESA can put out a weight of shot very fast.

I retain his logs and records and will be publishing them.

Uncle Laurie is my all time hero. He build his first FLYING airplane at 16 in his shed in Sioux Lookout Ontario. He flew it. And didn't die. Possibly the finest aeronautical engineer I have ever had the honour to know. He built a Vulcan R/C model before there was a Vulcan. He was that kind of guy.

I knew she ran out because they locked on our wing, and both flipped us the middle finger before fucking off home. We landed in the shallows and sank quickly. Over 100 holes but not injuries. Lessons learned for the crew and me.

Laurie: As I drew close the guy in the back smoking a cigar (I could see) tapped the pilot. Smoke out of pipes and she disappeared. I thought "fuck this" and went hard for the sea.
She shot us up 3 times before she ran out of ammo.

As they gt close, Uncle Laurie said" We drew closer and my arse got tighter. Shit. That's not Eye-Tye - that's a Ju-88! Oh shit, but we're committed now...throttlers up to firewall...."

They planned the approach as they had the high ground over the Italian. Laurie, giving into the kids", gave his orders: OK we go in fast from behind and under. Everyone gets a shot, and then I head for the sea and if they don't fall, we fly back home.

I thought it was a taste of the Claymore that used to cost you an arm and a leg...

Wow British Rail is now worse than Via Rail.
Not a good sign. You can ride across Canada and not lose connectivity - which is handy when you share tracks with freight, and freight takes priority.

Personally, I think Great Filter is too simplistic. I think it's all the minor filters we have to navigate that form the biggest risk. Not surprised 3I/ATLAS is keeping reasonably well clear of us.

Distraction AWA pudding brain.

Every time Doug get upset, an angel earns it's wings.
