My YouTube debut! I'm debunking bad history Instagram reels. Doing my bit to hit the kids where they are. (This was a cool project and thanks to Beginning to Now for inviting me!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4lL...

😡😠😠😡

Now I know this was made with AI!

Depluralize A movie: Lemur Theory

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Pam Bondi: “Trump can’t fire me. The Dow is over $46,000!”

We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because you've seen the other shit this country spends tax money on. At least going to the moon is cool.

We should do more sick space stuff plus fully fund a robust social welfare system we got two hands

you don’t have to know much world history to look at this map and immediately see why the entire western hemisphere has birthright citizenship

"Happy" T.S. Eliot Day

substack.com/@susiebright... Yes, I can tell you what Byron Noem’s kink is, and it’s not the euphemisms of the Daily Mail!

Standing my previous opinion that a good proportion of that 62% are just lying. These people would rather die than admit they were wrong and the feminazis and soyboys and bluehairs were right.

Cats are obligate carnivores but are completely convinced they are actually omnivores. They're like "no you are wrong, our ancestors clearly made sandwiches out of their prey, check the fossil record"

Ok. This is like every Hitler as military amateur story. I am not a huge fan of the Heer chiefs scapegoating Hitler for their failures,but Hitler's autodictat tendencies were a real thing.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No kings except Godzilla, the king of monsters

😩😩😩

I think many Americans are now fully starting to understand why it was a fucking stupid idea to think that you could simply fly the One Ring to Mount Doom. Weather, integrated air defenses, and the fact that you don’t control the ground.

Today’s Cabinet meeting. He. Is. Asleep. 25th. (🎥 CNN)

Check out @milavhis.bsky.social's new video on the V-1 and V-2! Come for the data, stay for Tom Lehrer. youtu.be/0DMNRtGRYP0?...

It is a fun book and you will read it and wonder when your cat's tail will split in two. #booksky

The irony is the racists here were probably cooking their brains on social media where most of the racists they follow use an anime avatar.

So many Trump pundits strike me as being something like Ptolemaic astronomers adding ever-more epicycles to their model to explain the observed motion of planets, unable to abandon the central geocentric assumption. In this case, the assumption is that Trump is in full possession of his faculties

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

The only thing with the initials HP that would*I* care about is the Handley Page HP.52 Hampden

fun reminder: the reason why they make these fucking pointless "live action" remakes is because since it's "live action", the animation is considered "vfx" and not character animation, so they can pay these non-unionized satellite studios fuck-all and make a cool few million for essentially nothing

anyway here's Akira Kurosawa gazing lovingly at Toshiro Mifune on the set of Seven Samurai

A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE

Here’s a list of my nonfic publications if anyone likes this sort of thing and wants to support me (the Osprey and MMP ones don’t pay royalties fwiw so that doesn’t benefit me directly) and reviews are always welcome navalairhistory.com/about/596-2/

Every time I’m in Union Square I think about how Tammany Hall, the seat of power for New York for decades, is now a Petco

Wanna see me when I was 17?

Ah yes, just a temporary 'in and out' conflict turning into "we have to be there like Japan. You know FOREVER." I saw my friends die in the last war without a reason, I don't want to watch my students die in this gormless bramble fuck of a war.

It is also worth adding that almost nothing we provided to Ukraine is even relevant to this conflict. The only thing that would be is the PAC-3 and we gave a borderline negligible number of interceptors. We're not using GMLRs, Bradleys or 155mm rounds to fight Iran. This is completely made up.

And Tolkien was explicit that all immortal beings, even the gods (Valar), envy the mortality of men.

Where do rainbows go when they break the law? Prism. They get a light sentence. It gives them time to reflect.

lmao: "Harris accused Altman of being the 'Goebbels of the Trump administration.' But on Tuesday, Harris [ . . . ] told us by email: 'It was late and I had a few too many martinis so I misspoke when I said Goebbels… I should've said Friedrich Flick.'"

when this inevitably happens to me we will simply turn this into a valuable life lesson about how in this household we do not taunt cryptids, LEAST OF ALL anything that could vaguely be linked to the fae

happy the fugitive trying to blend into a parade day to all who celebrate

Yes,the emerging line is wily, ruthless Israel tricked poor, trusting, naive Donald Trump into a stupid, reckless war. GMAFB. Israel has absolutely pushed for this but ultimately it’s DONALD TRUMP who decided to take the US to war. He likes war! He likes blowing things up! He literally says it’s fun

We reflect a lot on what draws people to AI as a source of historical information. It's clear that for many people, the AI 'voice' comes across as authoritative and convincing in what it conveys, even when the actual content is pretty banal, surface-level or just plain wrong.

Celebrate #StPatricksDay with a flask of Tudor Guinness!🍀 Yes, we know the harp symbol predates Guinness, and represents the Celtic ruling classes, but we wanted to do something fun, and this wine flask was perfect...

These people are creepy, childish and just weird as shit and we should say it all the time.

I hate this version of the United States so much.
