well this made me cry over breakfast. to any democrats holding even a shred of power right now: look at what’s possible from people far more endangered and vulnerable than you and grow a spine, you fucking cowards www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-s...

I’m pretty sure the Army deleted this video about Capt. Shaina Coss because of the DEI Executive Order. She is the first woman to lead a Ranger Platoon in combat and command a Ranger Company.

Hey look a portal open to public submission, hope no one floods it with the Bee Movie script to the point of being unusable or something

Delighted that the English version of my article on the lost letters of the Galatée ship just came out, with a wonderful translation by @teaphaine.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal... @annaleshss.bsky.social

“The twelve most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I work in tech and we're here to make your life better'.”

What makes you uncomfortable doesn’t make me unqualified.

Returned to my hotel this evening to find 8 dudes in the lobby studying COLREGS for a test to become captains on the Mississippi. Lot of grumbling about the Huey P. Long bridge.

A great museum. 10/10. Would recommend.

Lessons aplenty for those who'd care to learn.

Very first exhibit in the National WW2 Museum. Congrats, @mercoglianos.bsky.social

the best time for the NYT to support trans rights would have been before they intentionally stoked a moral panic to delegitimize trans people. the second best time for the NYT to support trans rights is right now.

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

Protest at 5 at the Treasury btw.

USAID helps our friends overseas when they are most in need - which helps keep us all strong and free. To paraphrase Jim Mattis, if we don’t fund USAID, we’ll need to buy more ammo - and prepare Americans to use it.

White nationalist event at ASU backfires as student protest overwhelms them: On the same day that a white supremacy aligned university club encouraged students to report their classmates to ICE, hundreds of Arizona State University Sun Devils responded by marching in support of their undocumented…

For anyone interested in the history of the Falklands Dispute or of the Falklands War, I'm currently sharing a number of useful articles I've contributed over the years... See below. Hopefully they'll be found to be useful whether you're beginning to study the subject or already an old hand at it.
