Still not as bad as Microsoft Teams
Today in 1184 Henry VI of Germany was having a strategy meeting when the wooden second storey floor collapsed. Most of the courtiers fell through into the latrine cesspit below the ground floor, where more than 50 drowned in liquid excrement.

At this time of day on July 2, I’m drawn to think of the several thousand US troops spread out in an ever thinning line along Culp’s Hill, on the US right. All afternoon, units have been pulled from this position to bolster the left flank - Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, and Cemetery Ridge

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

The Last Waltz?
Trump's NSA Michael is up Cripple Creek without a paddle after letting Jeff Goldberg know it was Time to Kill the Houthis. While SecDef Pete mourns the night they drove old Dixie down, he's sharing war secrets like it makes no difference. Oh, the shape we're in!

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Every time Trump talks about McKinley it reminds me of the nation's greatest Civil War monument, at Antietam, dedicated to McKinley, because he -- this is the real text I'm not making this up -- "personally and without orders served hot coffee and warm food to every man in the regiment."
