It's incredible to me that a soldier could be shot four times in three different battles in the Civil War... and survive. #ForgottenHistory #AmericanHistory #TryingToCatchKenBurns

The @nytimes.com food app is simply amazing. It has changed the way I cook and prepare meals for my family. Healthy, delicious meals in literally under 40 minutes most nights. I know this sounds like an ad or a paid sponsorship. It isn't! Highly recommend!
Two brothers. One Republican. One Democrat. One flew a US flag. The other waved a Confederate flag. Sounds like it could be today--but this was during the Civil War. Hear the story of the Kennerson brothers fighting against each other: pod.link/1836017425 #HistoryRepeating #HistoryMatters #CivilWar

This is an excellent clap back at the Barnard President. I wonder if we can now expect #BarnardCollege to host Flat Earthers, neo-Nazis & misogynists to foster lively debate. Why is it so hard to realize that not all opinions deserve oxygen & attention? boingboing.net/2025/09/22/b...

This is the gravestone for Captain Alfred S. Merrill in Bath, Maine, but there is ample evidence that it is a cenotaph, a memorial without a body. Because Merrill never came home. He vanished. On Sept 17, in our debut episode, we find him. #CivilWarHistory #NewPodcast #MaineHistory #AmericanHistory
And to think I was reconsidering my decision to unsubscribe to the @washingtonpost.com. That won't be happening now.
The reason the MSM has sanitized or ignored Charlie Kirk's political beliefs is simple. They've been cowed by right-wing fury & they're terrified. Mr. Kirk didn't shy away from his controversial opinions on race & gender, but outlets like @nytimes.com & @npr.org have been bullied not to repeat them.
I'm an avid listener and fan of Ezra's podcast. So, I was taken aback by his flawed assessment of Charlie Kirk's life. By all means, denounce the violence, because there is no excuse for that. But the lionization of a man who made many racist, anti-Semitic, and transphobic comments is chilling.
