On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

Do the Epsilon stations have to be located in actual star systems? Or can they be "freestanding"?
(Also wondering if "Epsilon" stations imply the existence of series of stations designated "Alpha" through "Delta".)

Yeah, this is tied to the Edge of Midnight map projects.

There is a conclusion I've come to:

Hands Off = Elbows Up = Slava Ukraini

It's all the same fight.

I just had a thought about what Poilievre's voice makes me think of: school principals who used the strap to punish kids. Whether they were actually getting out of hand or something else was going on.

His tone - every time I hear his voice - puts me in mind of someone who was born too late to be one of those school principals, knows it, and wants revenge for that fact of birth timing.

It was okay. Quiet when I needed it to be, noisy when I wanted it to be.

No notes.

As regards today's op-ed cartoon by Greg Perry...

Whatever his own opinion, the family he depicted have a legitimate reason for a long, loud cry of frustration: COVID-19 is still very much part of the picture. So long as we don't require masking up properly and good air-cleaning measures in our workplaces - including public transit to and from those spaces - and our various levels of government are not dealing with the pandemic still in progress in the proper ways otherwise, SARS-CoV-2 and its medical consequences will still plague us. Socially, economically, in every way possible. The vaccines we have are still not enough in and of themselves to end the pandemic.

Therefore, Dads and kids everywhere have every right to keep crying.

1. David Chase fears that the end of long-form TV has arrived. I'd like him to be able to celebrate being wrong.

2. Peter Capaldi wants to make sure that entertainment talent from the lower classes remains discoverable and supported. He's absolutely right about that.

3. I got through the latest storm okay. Just so you know.

4. A lot of people miss Ed Broadbent.

5. Looks like a propagandist for Reichsters had a hand in Claudine Gay's problems at Harvard.

My brain feels sluggish. Not for the first time, either.

Listening to this right now:

I should look that book up, and also re-read Michael Byers' Intent For a Nation: What is Canada For? That one, I do have a copy of at hand.

Which would you say is going to be easier to remember for a layperson? An SAO catalogue number or "BD ##º #####"?

I'm betting on the SAO number over the Bonner Durchmusterung.

Yes, this is for the Edge of Midnight base map project.
