History of the World Part II
I will be surprised if History of the World Part II is very good. Mel Brooks is involved with the TV series, but his best movies are considered unacceptable by whomever is running our culture. Perhaps Mel Brooks can still bring the fun in these prudish times. The series airs tomorrow.
If you aren’t skeptical of the authorities, experts and the commercial media after the disastrous handing of Covid-19, then I can’t help you.
Brave or reckless astronauts to take second EVA wearing spacesuits made in China. I won’t even buy batteries or saw blades from Harbor Freight. There is no way I’d go into a near absolute vacuum at 3 degrees above absolute zero in a Chinese spacesuit, unless I had no other choice. Communist China may not have given them any other choice.
Side Note: I always liked that the Russians are called cosmonauts and are from Star City. Kind of poetic. In Mandarin, what are astronauts called and did they invent a new character to represent “astronaut”? Or is it a sequence of characters, like “man turtle bubble”

Sparky hanging out by the fire
Sparky is wondering where the sun went.
As Tennessee, others target drag shows, many wonder: Why? It may be because encouraging perverts to celebrate with children is depraved.
I’m not clear on the Cuyahoga County’s plastic bag ban. The article says that North Olmsted opted out of the bag ban, but that’s the city were I am least likely to be offered a plastic bag. Most everywhere else uses the typical plastic bag.

Questions for the Covid Commission
The way the Covid-19 pandemic was handled was a shit show. It’s over, but we have to do better than just never speak of it again. Questions should be openly discussed so we learn. The Norfold Group put together a reasonable set of questions. I don’t care who funded them or the background of the doctors. The report is so reasonable, it may become hard to find, so I’m backing the Questions for Covid Commission by Norfolk Group Full Report .
The executive summary provides ten concise questions, and they are:
When cheating becomes the norm, normal kids cheat. During the summer of 2020, the administrative team for my school had time to plan for fully remote classes. They made no provision for valid testing. Teachers asked questions and suggested solutions, but no answers ever came. Even worse, the administration kept insisting that students be shown grace. In education-speak, grace means dialing down the accountability.

Dog shelter for my shelter dog.
Like normal people, Sparky is reluctant to do his nasty business if anyone is watching. He’s not gun-shy, he’d pee on the pope in front of St. Peter’s Basilica if he needed to mark that territory. However, It’s best to tether Sparky, and leave him for a while if he might need to poop.
