Yet another character win for Pens. Lose Sid, stay with it, earn a HUGE victory. Wow.

Excellent. From 1986 and aged very well.

This Day in Labor History: March 25, 1911. 146 workers die in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in New York City, a horrible workplace disaster that only mattered because rich people saw the people making their clothes die! People still die making your clothes. But you don't see it, so whatever, right?

Random: it’d be cool to test drive a typewriter

Hundreds of dollars in an appliance hooked to the vent by a couple dollars of cheap aluminum and a screw. I’d pay for something with a quick attachment feature. 🤷🏽‍♂️

What’s everyone reading today? #reading #library

“Woe to the statesman whose reasons for entering a war do not appear so plausible at its end as at its beginning.” The Vietnam War memorial at the Utah state capitol is poignant and a must see. Dad was at Ben Tre (#60) from ‘66-67 and the Saigon from ‘69-70.

The University of Wisconsin Badgers are your 2026 NCAA Women's Ice Hockey Champions! Congratulations!

Anyone read E. H. Carr “What is History?“ and want to share their thoughts? 💭

Pretty much every team in the Eastern Conference playoff race has an extremely difficult schedule remaining. A lot of these teams also play each other quite a bit.

This book is just perfect for our times:

12/2026 Something Rotten: Land Command in the 21st Century by Jim Storr. I would love to talk with others about this. My favorite chapters are on systems, people, and mission command. I think some initiatives are in play. His call for action was in 2022. #milsky #histbookchat #militarywritersguild

Congratulations to the winners of the Distinguished Book Awards! This honor recognizes the best book-length publications in English on military history from the past three years—make sure to check out these books!

Just found one of my brother’s EOD multi-tools. Grief comes up in strange ways.

warroom.armywarcollege.edu/podcasts/non... This pod is going take a second listen because there is so much in here. For starters, I enjoyed @craigwhiteside.bsky.social point about how non-state actors use special operations to indicate transitions in overall operations, or to set conditions.

If you have ever struggled with Clausewitz's On War (that's all of you, be honest), try this as a supplement.

Crowdsourcing an idea: I’m (likely) the course director for a foundational “strategic art” JPME class in the fall. In addition to targeted readings lesson by lesson, I’m exploring using a single book, read a chapter at a time, as a framing narrative. What should that book be and why? GO!

The way Ed Harris looked at Amy Madigan when her name was read was one of the most beautiful things. Just sheer love and pride and trust and oh my god I’m already welling up.

11/2026 The Roots of Blitzkrieg by James S. Corum Creative training & clear direction from army chief Hans Van Seeckt. Follow this w/ Robert Citino’s The Path to Blitzkrieg and Victory into Defeat by Robert Lyman & Lord Dannett, and you’ll have a view of how German victories in 1939-40 came to be.

What a goal by Acciari #NHL

The scene I always remember from my childhood

An unwise decision by a Confederate general acting without authority to violate Kentucky’s neutrality in late 1861 resulted in a speck of sand on an S-bend in the Mississippi River south of Cairo, IL assuming a strategic importance it would not otherwise have had.

💯 Not a dry eye in the house yesterday. Acknowledge the moment and the process, up front and with eyes wide open. CPT K’s words resonated and strengthened the profession in our small part of the world.

I am encouraging ANYONE here over 45 to get your colonoscopy STAT. The prep isn't fun but its not terrible and its over soon. The procedure is painless, you get a great nap, and a chill day, and then you're fine! I was lucky and they found nothing, lots of friends have had polyps removed. Do it ❤️

Today was the first time I served as the senior officer of a retirement ceremony. I’m proud of our newest retiree and his family. Rituals are a visible sign of an invisible process. Formal or informal, our military ceremonies and rituals are impactful.

10/2026 Sharpe’s Tiger by Bernard Cornwell Always fun to read about Richard Sharpe’s early days in India.

Watching the 1989 Batman and part of what I enjoy is the camp. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s not overly moody, and you know it doesn’t apply to any city in America. The colors, the costumes, the Batmobile, even the script and soundtrack. It’s comic book fandom camp.

I think @mikejason.bsky.social mentioned posting quality articles. It reminds me that I should write one about recruiting for AUSA / ARMY magazine. Until then, here is one I co-authored with my British 🇬🇧colleague. I hope to work with him again! www.ausa.org/articles/bui...

5/9 selected by the board! 4 Regular Army and 1 Army Reserve. This We’ll Defend! #GoArmy #GoArmyReserve

Sedona, AZ meets the hype. Also, Sharpe’s Tiger is a fun read.

Got feedback from the editorial team! #writing

1/ Messages hacked from a Russian general's phone illustrate the sweeping scale of corruption at all levels of the Russian army. They highlight a top-to-bottom pyramid of extortion and bribery to obtain promotions and influence, plus scams and theft of military resources. ⬇️
