Hey Phelan, did you know a World Skipping Stones Championship? Actually, they call it "Skimming Stones". So Splinter might not be interested. And actually, this year's event was plagued by scandal! Doctored Stones! bbc.com/news/article... @phelous.bsky.social

If Ken Burns wanted to, he could mention that a young boy from the Carolinas and his brother were in a British POW camp late in the Revolutionary War. Robert Jackson died in camp, but his brother Andrew lived. And later became President of the USA. #americanrevolutionpbs #americanrevolution

They didn't mention Benedict Arnold burning New London, Connecticut to the ground. #AmericanRevolution

Whoo! The beginnings of the end of slavery! #AmericanRevolution

John Andre's remains are in Westminster Abbey. It's quite an impressive monument there. www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-commem... #AmericanRevolution

Important to remember that Benedict Arnold wasn't an unknown nobody. He was a well-known officer in the Colonial army. #Americanrevolution

I can't believe I didn't think of this joke.

Christian Huck could not read a room. #americanrevolutionpbs

Banastre Tarleton is one of the most awful characters in the whole war. #americanrevolutionpbs

I've been disappointed with how few people are tweeting along with the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary, compared to his other recent works. But I'm going to keep doing it tonight, to close out the series. #americanrevolutionpbs

The American Revolution is full of military heroes. But John Paul Jones is the most like an action hero. #americanrevolutionpbs

Wilhelm von Steuben! One of my favorite Revolutionary War figures. #americanrevolutionpbs

A nation of immigrants, that began with a war of immigrants, #AmericanRevolutionPBS

I love this series so far. I wish more people were posting on this hashtag. I hope many Americans are watching this. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

Pretty sly of Ken Burns to play that tune over the closing credits. It could be “God Save The King” or “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”. #Americanrevolutionpbs

As often happens, as war continues, lofty ideals fade into the background and day-to-day logistics, suffering and coping dominates the minds of all concerned. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

The church I used to attend in Portland, Maine, First Parish Church, had an actual cannonball from the British bombardment in a chandelier above the pews. firstparishportland.org/about/our-hi... #AmericanRevolutionPBS

Ken Burns is wisely reminding us the the Revolution was a war, with bloody combat and misery and wounded, as much or worse as other American wars for which we have photographs and video. It wasn't a bunch of statues and paintings fighting. They were humans like us. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

I'm glad the documentary didn't promote the myth that Ethan Allen said he was taking over Fort Ticonderoga "In the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress". Since he was an atheist and all. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

As he always does, Ken Burns shows us the effects of historical events on everyday people overlooked by history. He reminds us that history is a deep pool and it's a mistake to only look at the surface. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

And so, the tea is dumped into Boston Harbor. That was the last time a natural substance was dumped into Boston Harbor. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

Paul Revere - not just a guy who galloped around in Longfellow poems. He was a true artist. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

I wonder if that Scottish voice, telling us about immigrant to the USA, was Craig Ferguson. He was born in Scotland and is now an American citizen. #americanrevolutionpbs

Sam Adams, a failure as a brewer? #AmericanRevolutionPBS

I'm starting to think "Schoolhouse Rock" was a little simplistic about this subject matter. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

That was good, I was hoping they'd describe the geographic distribution of the indigenous Native American people. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

So far, the documentary is doing a good job of reminding us how much of a backwater the 13 colonies were compared to other parts of the world. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

Well, I'm going to watch Ken Burns American Revolution and use hashtag #AmericanRevolutionPBS. I wonder how many people will watch with me.

Election night jitters for me. We have some wackos running for city council here in Bangor. I hope the sane ones win. #maddow

Okay, let’s hope for an exciting fun baseball game…that lasts only 9 innings!!! #worldseries #bluejays #dodgers

Well, Sven showed some class in not mentioning this. But I won't! Joan Staley was the Playboy Playmate for November 1958! I have a copy, and it was actually very demure but today's standards. No scandal. #svengoolie

Think what you will of me, but years ago I bought a lifetime membership to the online Playboy archive, so I can look at every page of Playboy ever. Mara Corday's pictures are actually not very revealing, super tame by today's standards, but still gorgeous. #svengoolie

Wish me luck. My primary care provider says I have to start taking...... Jardiance. #svengoolie

Screw my aluminum baking sheet and my stainless steel frying pan. And pan searing. I only want pans I can put in the dishwasher.

Today was awful.

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

Deprofessionalizing the military, the state department, and FEMA. What fun. #maddow

Not so fun fact. I learned more about Japanese Internment in WWII in this episode of “Lou Grant”, than I did in four years of high school and four years of college. I saw it when I was 13 #maddow www.imdb.com/title/tt0636...

I was never a big fan of Friends. But watching this movie you can see a lot of star power and talent with Jennifer Aniston. #svengoolie

It just hit me that Warwick Davis probably had to do his own stunts, because they probably didn’t have a little person stuntman. #svengoolie

So many adaptations of HG Wells over the years. And the first step for adapting HG Wells, for studio heads, was always: Take out all the socialist and anti-imperialist rhetoric. And there was always a lot of that. #svengoolie

Can we have a DECENT PEOPLE party? PLEASE

Barn owls must have been pretty excited When the first barn was built.

Fox Announcers basically “Oh, the Yankees! So much history! Aaron Judge should get a ten foot statue of himself when he retires!” Fun Fact: A child born when the Yankees won their last World Series is now old enough to drive! #redsox

I’ve been toying for many years with an idea for a future dystopian spy novel. An element of it is that the southern United States becomes a totalitarian theocracy centered in Texas. Reality continues to outrace my imagination. #maddow

The new name is MSNOW? Do they know that there’s a thing called mSnow, a synthetic snow surface? #maddow msnow.ski

Ha! I saw that “Fuck Off Fascists” sign there on my tv screen. #maddow

So glad Rachel Maddow touched on the fact that there are massive protests against Netanyahu in Israel. #maddow
