Passing reminder.

I really never thought the topic of 'which countries are offering asylum TO Americans' would come up, but... here we are. There has been a lot of misinformation online about this story (e.g., it's merely a proposal now) but it's worth keeping an eye on. www.advocate.com/politics/nor...

Are we great yet?

Are we great again yet? deadmansswitch.net

Let's have another installment of Things From History That Might Be Relevant In Today's Climate with an overview of what happened when a dictator's territorial grab was granted legitimacy by the international community. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesson_...

Today's Things From History That Are Certainly Not Important in A Modern Context doesn't even reach back that far. All it takes is a willingness to not let it go.

Elon's traitor tots don't know the distinction between Reuters (the radical leftist global news organization that dares to report... facts) and THOMSON Reuters, which controls Westlaw (an important legal research website that, one would think, government lawyers probably need now more than ever).

Another installment of Things From History With No Commentary On Why They Matter Today. From the Declaration of Independence*: "A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." Full text: www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

It's getting harder to remain true to the mission of my series Things From History With Zero Commentary on Their Pertinence to Current Events. But here you go. An egomaniacal megalomaniac who thinks thousands of people in the grandstands want to see him tooling around a track.

I had some archivist and researcher contacts/colleagues who got swept up in this nonsense.

Don't blame ya, little guy.

Another installment of Things From History That Are Totally Not Important in the Current Context. This one courtesy of Dr. Seuss.

I honestly don't know how many 100-year floods my state is going to have to live through this decade before realizing climate change is real, caused by humans, and vitally in need of corrective action.

Alternatives to calling someone or something "crazy" when they're doing fascism. instead of "crazy" → fascist instead of "lunatic" → fascist instead of "schizo" → fascist instead of "psycho" → fascist instead of "bipolar" → fascist instead of "schizo" → fascist instead of "insane" → fascist

I suspect this is not authentic; sharing for fun. Also curious if it could still be used in the context of "F Elon!"?

In just one more indicator of the Twilight Zone reality we're all living in, I come before you now to express my gratitude to Sen. Mitch McConnell. Sincerely. I give credit where it's due, and he is on the right side of history on this one. www.kentuckytoday.com/news/mcconne...

A new installment of my series, Things From History With Zero Commentary as to Why They Might be Pertinent Now. In 1936 there was a large sporting event in Berlin. Being a megalomaniac who simply could not accept the idea of a spectacle he was not part of, Hitler attended.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I just noticed that when I try to swype "Starlink" on my phone, autocorrect gives me "Stalin" instead.

Well that's a heck of a take.

Close your eyes and try to find him!

Starting a new series wherein I use my training as a historian to share interesting things from the past with zero commentary as to why they might be important in the current context. youtu.be/I1583adUqSg?...

Scene: telehealth session yesterday with the provider who monitors my meds mix. Him: How's your anxiety lately? Me: About where I guess it should be, given the circumstances? Him: ...ok, fair.

I have never written so many times to my congressional delegation. I just contacted my senators to request they vote NO on RFK Jr (conspiracy theorist and science denier) to lead public health. Historians are going to examine this period and I'm leaving no doubt I was on the side of the sane.

I made a countdown timer to inauguration day '29 as we all attempt to get through this together. countingdownto.com?c=6050161

Inauguration coverage checklist: ✅️ Broadcast TVs tuned to QVC ✅️ Roku streaming Adam-12 reruns ✅️ YouTube set for a Secret Life of Machines marathon

Point to ponder.

Indeed.

hello, 911? yes, there are a bunch of people here and they are absolutely DEMANDING some figgy pudding

Who invited HIM to the reopening of Notre Dame??? The place is still a church. It's going to burst into flames again.

One down and two to go. Throw a match over your shoulder on your way out the door. 1. Pardon Hunter. ✅️ 2. Wipe out student loan interest. 3. Deschedule pot/cancel related convictions.

New Rule: You shall not complain about Hunter Biden's pardon on my feed unless you also admit the Supreme Court pardoned Trump for a coup.
