A master class on how to analyze hockey. Phenomenal book on not only the series, but a dive into international hockey history

Washington inoculated the Army at Yorktown. You cannot make war if all your soldiers have smallpox.

Is Phillip Rivers the first starting QB to also be a grandfather?

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Terrific from the beginning. What’s everyone reading now? @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

More time in maintenance than use describes almost every combat platform in any military. Tanks, Artillery, ADA, Ships, Aircraft, etc

“House of Dynamite“ was really good.

Continuous Transformation is Pentomic Army, but worse Combatant Commands managing force allocations is the old bureau chief system, but worse. Congrats, guys, we’ve innovated ourselves into irrelevance

Also if you’ve never read Pape, you should. This is definitely one of the books that has influenced me a great deal and it’s actually pretty readable for people that don’t have a FP/defense/military background

Jim Varney. I celebrate the entire “Ernest Goes To…” collection.

I really loved playing with G.I. Joe figures.

Schrödinger's hockey player: Guy who shows up to pick up in a gray jersey. He’s both dark and light colored at the same time. So which side is he on? Yes.

Your annual happy birthday wishes to the service with the second most amphibious landings in American history.

What constitutes a catch? is there a difference between possession and making a football play ?

Happy 70th anniversary to the invention of time travel

Rojas! Baseball is Life!!!

The thing I have learned from this World Series is that if you don't drop routine fly balls or forget how to hit, you can be very competitive with the Dodgers.

Toronto and LA in a game 7. Hope the umpires don’t miss a Gretzky high stick tonight.

All politics is local. In Both space and time. About New York in 2025. About any other plac no. About NYC in 1995, 2010, or 2028. nah as well.

Bengals are this week’s Giants

@dicknixon.bsky.social Take from last night’s game: Three constants in the universe. Death, Taxes, and good pitching beats good hitting.

My name’s not Herman. But what’s it like inside your head?

As usual for Jack Watling, this is a fabulously data & evidence-rich paper on what the Ukrainian battlefield looks like today. A pivotal role for drones & ground robots—but also for tanks, armour & artillery, each coming into its own at different moments in an assault www.rusi.org/explore-our-...

Great baseball last night, normally it’s a Toronto team that blows a 3-1 lead
