Friends, is this a scam? My intuition says yes, but I’d like to know for sure. The email is clearly full of AI text—no layperson could summarize my niche book otherwise. Anyway, I’m all for promoting my book, but I’m not about to get involved in a scam. #skystorians

Reposting my anti-Ken Burns stuff because someone told me I should be thankful for him. 😵‍💫

Ken Burns is the Michael Bay of documentaries.

“We wanted to rid ourselves of the fashions of historiography,” Burns summarized at one event, “and make a film that simply shows what happened.” With those words you need not contemplate his documentaries further. Ken Burns is a boring story teller at best, a charlatan at worst.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

@nataliaantonova.bsky.social has me thinking about Camus, again.

I’ve updated the meme.

Boring. What if the Central Powers won WWI is far more intriguing.

I’m just gonna scootch right by ya and… *ope*… slap several people upside the head with this field manual right here. You can read it when I’m done.

He probably said this while picking his teeth with a raccoon penis.

But for which side? For which side!?

Presidementia is doing a fantastic job of making Iran the rational actor in this unnecessary conflict.

It’s the same picture.

Remember, you, too, can become Christ in your death cult.

Blockading a blockade to break a blockade. Genius. 🙄

Maybe JD can champion cancer next so that, too, can die.

Back to Infrastructure Week.

On this Easter I’d like to remind everyone to refrain from joining a cult.

American Christianity helped justify slavery and, later, segregation. Today it remains antagonistic to the teachings of Christ and continues to function as a firehose of white supremacy and nationalism.

Finally paid my respects to the grave of LtC. Robert E. Whitbeck. If you’ve read my book, you’ll recall he gave his life defending his command, the U.S. Army artillery and radar site at Tuy Hòa North Airfield on 30 January 1968. I also visited the grave of Lansdale, whose papers shaped my work.

Hi new followers 👋

Hey #Skystorians, any of you with expertise in the French Navy? I'm trying to find record of a French corvette named Laplace that was present in Japanese waters in early 1868, and all my searching is coming up dry so far. It's mentioned in US diplomatic correspondence.

This is very good. PLEASE Read The Meme before accusing me of being #TrumpTrash!!!

I’m seeing double.

A relative just told me weather machines are interfering with nature.

Hanoi

What could possibly go wrong? Everything.

Another question for my WW1 friends—do you know which German army and general took Warsaw in August 1915? I’ve seen conflicting accounts in secondary sources.

Same vibes.

It’s been about nine days.

he’s gonna give a speech in front of an AI generated banner that says, “ŃMIMMS1ØN ACĞŒMPLISSHEP”

It’s the onset of the end of the beginning of the start.

I’m certain Oliver North didn’t sell Tomahawks to Iran.

Also: it’s not a war

What are words anyway

Act like pawns, get played like pawns.

Reminds of the time I tried to help Caitlin Flanagan of the Atlantic understand that Khomeini and Khamenei were two separate supreme leaders and she absolutely refused to accept it and then blocked me

WWI historians, is it Radko Dimitriev or R.D. Radko-Dmitriev? 😵‍💫
