We should know that it was never about freedom. It's like saying that the Pilgrims stood for freedom of religion. No: they wanted the freedom to impose their own religion. These folks want a government that does their violent bidding. It's about freedom to impose their own tyranny.

Hi folks,
Would anyone in Washington, D.C. be willing to scan archival documents at NARA for a scared Canadian? I’d be willing to pay per hour tho’ I’m a lowly grad student.

Apologies to everyone for accidentally toggling the military adventurism switch by posting this.
As a historian, I can't wait to explain to my confused nephews that before Al Gore invented the internet, and long before raccoons presciently identified Cybertrucks for the human dumpsters that they are, this was our only way of catching the sexiest and most brutal Middle Eastern war criminals.

My fun discovery of 2026 was Mowat's "The Boat Who Wouldn't Float." I've also been reading Robertson Davies' Deptford trilogy, where I find myself hanging between "fascinating!" and "WTF."
