I work on Coronado and live in Point Loma. Left the hangar we were down 6-1. Got home and look at the TV, we are tied 6-6. Take my boots off and we’re up 7-6. What happened in those 25 minutes?! #Mets #Metsky

Morning stroll on Kyoto’s outskirts, Shugakuin area 🌾 A gentle chill settles over Kyoto, as autumn softly makes its arrival🍂 #kyoto #autumn #stroll #nature #landscape #photos #japan

Just added a butt-load of locations to the #PacificHistoryGuide on behalf of the three Great Unifiers of Japan - Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. I'll most likely capture this in a blog post at some point, but for now the Chubu Region is ready for your visit, check it out!

History has proven which one was right.

At this point I'm hoping for elimination so they can start firing people and planning for next year. This team has no leadership, no fire, and doesn't want to win. Been a #Mets fan for 30 years but I do believe this is the most disappointing team I can remember, aside from the 2007 squad. #Metsky

A very special thank you is in order for the @axe99.bsky.social, the absolute superstar that he is, for giving me a bunch of tips and suggestions for #PacificHistoryGuide. Thanks again Dave! There's a small note at the bottom of the main Australia page : ) www.pacifichistoryguide.com/australia

The #Mets love proving to us again and again how bad the trade deadline was. Mullins needs to sit the rest his time in NY no matter what happens. Rogers can go too. @mets.com is this team competing for a playoff berth or not?

20 Sept 1943 // Frigate HMS Lagan, in mid-Atlantic escorting a Liverpool-North America convoy, was hit by a Gnat torpedo fired by U.270 which wrecked her stern and killed 29 men. Towed into the Mersey, she was written off as a total loss. (Imperial War Museum A 14733) #RoyalNavy #NavalHistory #WW2

Finally buckled down this weekend and got the Australia section of #PacificHistoryGuide finished. I’m always looking for input, comments, or suggestions to make this better! Don’t be shy, you won’t hurt my feelings. ☺️

#Mets win, time for some Italian sausage on the blackstone! Gonna do some yakiniku as well. Why not, LFGM

Today in 1916 John Duesbury took part in an attack during the Battle of the Somme. He was severely injured and trapped in a shell hole, where he wrote this letter that was later found on his corpse.

Was stationed on #Guam for three years and it took a good amount of time to learn about all the Second World War memorials and ruins, some of which are in pretty remote places and require local knowledge to locate. If you’re headed to the rock, start with #PacificHistoryGuide!

#OTD September 7th in 1860, #Garibaldi, at the head of the 'Expedition of the Thousand', entered #Naples as a liberator. He took control of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, furthering the cause for Italian unification. Today's a great day to be from the lower half 🇮🇹 #Risorgimento #Italy #History

GWG Director Alex Churchill will be tackling the topic of the Philippines in 1945 at the premier World War 2 festival We Have Ways Fest next weekend at Blackpit farm, near Silverstone Tickets here wehavewaysfest.co.uk

Had some fun with this blog post. I love the study of the First World War, and Japan’s actions in it.

A long essay on AI and culture. It’s well-written and thoughtful, but parts of it are utterly terrifying glimpses into the future www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Come on down to Liberty Station on September 27th for a tour of the historic Naval Training Center, the 52 Boats Memorial, and USS Recruit, provided on behalf of #YCAPS!

After Gully Beach it was a long trek up Gully Ravine to mirror the march to the front lines in this sector. The second image is the British front line #Gallipoli 🇹🇷 @peterhart.bsky.social @istoriatravel.bsky.social @seaspitfires.com @danielmcandrew.bsky.social

🔁 @JonHeyman retweeted @NYPost_Mets Brandon Sproat is coming up to pitch Sunday for the Mets, a source confirms. @_chaseford was first with this.

One Sunday, two services on Saipan

I don't want to write a piece that's lost in the noise. Suffice it to say that with the end of the #SecondWorldWar came also the death of the Japanese Empire, aged but 77 years. Its corpse remained for two years, but its spirit never left the weatherdeck of the Missouri, 80 years ago today.

Turned the game off in the 5th. This team played like they were late for a tee time today. Abysmal pitching yet again from a veteran starter. Hard to be a #Mets fan sometimes.

Today’s blog post is short and sweet, shouting out the Micronesia Area Research Center (MARC) and the University of Guam! #UOG #Guam #UniversityofGuam www.pacifichistoryguide.com/post/shoutou...

Caught this video today, pretty good! youtu.be/_B2Ntj8b454?...

Whole city’s being bankrupted because people really really want to spend time in a first-class lounge on their way to an Austin Marriott. It’s not just the depth of the corruption that gets me. It’s the smallness of the ambition.

Just got the word today that I’ve been selected for promotion to Lieutenant Commander! Exceptionally humbled and proud to see my name on the list. #Navy #USNavy

Good read here. Too many people are waiting for their loved ones to come home. The more visibility cases like this get, the better. www3.nhk.or.jp/lnews/yamagu...

Inject this into my veins. Phillies postgame hits like straight crack 😂 #Mets

The #Mets, they want me to die

So @pikegrey1418.bsky.social and I were overwhelmed by the warm welcome given to us & @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social by Kansas City last night to share our book with everyone this side of the atlantic. Massive thanks to everyone at the National WWI museum & of course our host @bartparish.bsky.social

Rest in peace to great-grandma (x98) Boccia, killed today when Vesuvius erupted in 79 CE and buried Pompeii. Best damn oysters and garum dish in Italy! Gotta protect yourself against that ash 🌋

#PacificHistoryGuide is dedicated to bringing you closer to the history behind your duty stations, port calls, and TAD locations, no matter where you are in the Pacific. If you've transited the Malacca Strait you've probably sailed near Lingga without realizing its importance. Read on for more!

It's hard to be impartial when studying this case. The Tsushima Maru, at the bottom of the sea, has a memorial in Okinawa, blank spaces fill empty frames where the faces of unidentified schoolchildren should be. The Bowfin has a place of honor near the USS Missouri and USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor.

Young volunteers and experts are racing against time to recover the remains of Japanese soldiers who died during World War II, most of them abroad.

For those in the Kantō area - An Ainu culture festival is being held Saturday, August 30th in Chiba City Civic Hall. Free entry from 12PM, main events 1-4PM. There will be a folktale and dance recital, woodcarving and embroidery demonstrations, and performance from OKI & MAREWREW. Workshops as well.

Facing the growing threat of defeat, the military planned to move its headquarters from Tokyo to an area that is now a part of the city of Nagano. Construction continued until the day of Japan's surrender in WWII.

Two firefighters who died in a fire that spread across two buildings in the city of Osaka were apparently trapped on the sixth floor of one of the buildings as it started to collapse.

but at around 35 degrees north latitude, it is only visible under very specific conditions, and it appears red because it is close to the horizon. However, it is actually the second brightest star in the sky after Sirius, and it is a blue-white star.

After parting ways with Nakajima, Kawanishi established Kawanishi Engineering Works in 1920 and began designing aircraft with engineers he had recruited from Nakajima. By the end of the year, he had completed his first aircraft, the K1.

World Series parade is back on the menu! #Mets #LFGM

‘Gay, exuberant, crazy’ — the Taisho Era (1912-26) was a time of cultural upheaval and political fomentation that, in spite of its brevity, left a lasting impression on Japan.

I am ready to be hurt again. #Mets

It took me longer than it should have to write this piece, but I’m proud of it and welcome your feedback. Today marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, with the announcement by the Emperor that he was directing his armed forces to surrender immediately. #PacificHistoryGuide
