So the name of one of the historians who is doing commentary on Ken Burns’s “American Revolution” sounded familiar – and it turns out that I reviewed a book she wrote about the so-called “Boston Massacre”. Ten years of grant-funded research to produce a 320-page book that I gave ⭐️⭐️⭐️. Link follows.

In the segment about the Battle of Brandywine in “American Revolution” I keep hearing “Bar-Anduin” in my head. #LOTR

Disappointed to hear “comprised of” in the narration during Episode 4 of “The American Revolution”.

Michael Bamberger’s latest column for @GOLF_com strains to make the point that the number on the scorecard is all that matters, but succeeds only in aggrandizing an 18-year-old nepo baby who has no business being in the field.

Kai Trump’s opening 83 in LPGA debut serves as powerful reminder
Kai Trump has brought some added attention to this week’s LPGA event. But that’s not where the real beauty in her presence lies.

Vote candidates, not party. And don’t piss away a chance to unseat ANY RepubliKKKan candidate by voting for some Independent or Green or what-the-f**k-ever candidate that is going to get 2.3% of the vote in your district.

Remember, Nader gave us two terms of Bush/Cheney by splitting Democratic…🧵

Folks, some of the best and timeliest commentary on (or at least reaction to) current events comes from @shakespeare.lol and @theauthorguy.bsky.social . Trust me on this…

Just wait until the midterm elections – and maybe not that long…

Dear Retailers –

Stop asking me to review Every. Single. Fucking. Thing. I buy from you.

“I don’t want to get sick” is a 100% legit response, as is “Why do you care?”
Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Let me get this straight – the 🤡 who FOTUS appointed to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is pushing weight-loss drugs, and the heroin addict who is the Secretary of Health and Human Services, also appointed by FOTUS, is an anti-science proponent of “natural living”.

I just read a post in which a person expressed a preference for the LOTR movies over the books because they “found (the books) boring in that the writing told the action and didn't show it too much of the time for my preferences.”

I. Just. Can’t. With people like that… #Tolkien #LOTR

Eamon Lynch is a master of getting to the heart of the matter: ”Every change LIV makes — even hopping from LIV to LXXII — exposes that the plan was never to grow the game with innovation but to buy it wholesale.”

I predict Andrew Cuomo will change parties and go someplace where a loud-mouthed sex pest is appreciated.

What she said – no vote, no voice.
Get it done, kids! You don't get to complain about sh*t if you're not using your voice to change it. VOTE!!! ❤️
