Love how access to the Ike Skelton Combined Arms Digital Library is gone because of Orange Caligula. This is heavily impacting my ability to complete my thesis. WTF.

Lost our beloved Great Dane, Lincoln on Friday. Found a mass around his heart and it had spread and we did not know. He has been a family member since 2019. We miss you so much 💔

My favorite plane from WW2 is the P47 Thunderbolt, great ground troop support aircraft along with other roles. The "Jug" did its job well. #aviation i would love to hear others favorite planes from any era!

This timeline sucks, but I found Seaquest DSV streaming. Yay Darwin the dolphin!!

“My own belief is this: No true American, no American worthy of the name, would want deliberately to exclude any other American from the full opportunity to enjoy every privilege and every right guaranteed to us by the Constitution.” — President Dwight Eisenhower

#purpleday #epilepsyawareness My son was born with a rare condition called KCNQ2 and it caused him to spend the first week of life in the PICU because of seizures. We wear purple to raise awareness and support!

The art of conversation is vanishing. Lost amongst our phones, social media, and heads buried in the latest awful news of the day. I believe in the power of conversation, a simple discussion at a coffee shop, connecting with your fellow man. Maybe then, we can save ourselves.

Corporate consolidation in the energy market is artificially inflating prices. We need corporate structure reform like FDR did. If you own the wires, you shouldn’t own the electrons. I have a bill to divest distributors of generation capacity and bring down your bill.

When you need dental work and insurance barely covers it, what do you do?? This sucks.

Second time in the span of 6 weeks our youngest came down with norovirus. This virus is a special sort of hell, I hope a vaccine is available sooner rather than later! 🤢

Planning on taking a trip to the New England Air Museum. Aircraft and displays are beautiful!

As a James Bond nerd, I am so excited to see all of the films on Netflix. Anyone have a favorite Bond? Mine is Daniel Craig! #Skyfall #jamesbond

The greatest tyrannies are always perpetuated in the name of the noblest causes. Thomas Paine

Gull wing beauty, F4U-Corsair at one of the last Quonset, Rhode Island airshows. I miss it very much!

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. It's getting harder to remember as the number of living Holocaust survivors dwindles. Read this piece on the work of remembering: lnk.thebulwark.com/49ZzOP0

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Yeap, 10/10. Nazis suck.

Samwise had it right during the journey to Mordor. Find the helpers and stay true to each other. For these are the times that try men's souls.

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

I'm old enough to remember when CBS News and journalists like Edward R. Murrow held power to account, instead of capitulating to it.

I have empathy. My children use empathy. If you dont care when children are torn from parents and you laugh about it....tells me your a fascist pig. Idk if anyone can learn empathy but it is being lost in the duhaminization on Fox news. Help your neighbors and vote out the thugs.

Kindness for others costs nothing. Remember that during these turbulent times.

Science works. Vaccines save lives and history is there to learn from. Just following orders was not an acceptable defense at Nuremberg. Pay attn to Russia, he is testing the fences. As a military historian, the warnings are here. I hope people wake up before its too late.

All I wish for this country, is for calm and collected voices to be heard. Violence is not the answer, and instead of seeing others as your enemy, try to speak to them. Maybe then, you will realize who the enemy is. No empathy is the death of society as a whole.

Wednesday is with us again, so grab your family and friends and drag them out to buy a book! - Michael

Throw up those rock horns and crank up some Sabbath/Ozzy tunes. I hope the great beyond has a swear jar 🤣 RIP to the Prince of Darkness.

Had an amazing time seeing BUSH, Shinedown in Boston at the Gahhden. #shinedown#bush

Awkward Couple Caught on the Coldplay Kiss-Cam.

I use this site for research all the time. Removing documents and information...wtf. No words for this travesty.

Because pretty flowers can make the darkest of times brighter. #flowers #gardening

It did not start with gas chambers. It begins with hate and spirals.

The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming. ❤️🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈

Absolutely disgusted with all that is happening right now.

1775. A shot heard around the world. 2025. An elected United States senator was put in cuffs for asking a question at a press conference. The click of those cuffs echoed that past sound Who will answer the call? #1IfByLand #spiritof1775 #nokingsprotest 📷 Brian/Facebook

Fulfilled a dream yesterday, flew in an AT6 Texan in Stratford, CT. Amazing ride!!! #aviation

Tomorrow is the 81st anniversary for Operation Overlord, or more commonly known as D-Day. Let us honor those who fought and died for freedom. "The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you" Supreme Allied Commander Eisenhower

The "unplanned rapid disassembly" of Emperor Palpatrump and Musky is a sight to behold.

When you wake up to the news and Ukraine launched a highly successful plan and destroyed over 40 Russian Bombers, several rail lines and bridges, Slava Ukraini!!

We need a go away croup party in this house. My poor kids, between pneumonia and now my son with croup...blah!!

Latest research project for one of my classes, interdiction, doctrine from Trenchard, Mitchell, and Douhet, examining Operation Strangle and the "unintended results." ✈️

I miss these days. Bogart loved playing with the kids and we miss him so very much. Bogie boy! 💔

Playoff hockey for the win!! Lets do this Carolina! Off the point! Woohoo!

If you do not like the AI summaries when completing google searches, type -ai before your search terms/query. And voila!

Pretty sure some folks did this in the 30s and 40s...where people on the lists ended up in cattle cars and transported to concentration camps but let's keep erasing history. Enough of this shit!

Heartbroken to hear of the tragic death of Aerobatic pilot Rob Holland. One of the most amazing pilots to watch and thankful I was lucky enough to see him fly at several airshows. Blue skies #aviation 💔

Today is the anniversary of my brother's passing from a fentanyl overdose. If you are stuggling with addiction and mental health issues, please know help exists. #addiction #mentalhealth for me, listening to Nothing More's Jenny and I'll Be Ok get me through.

Really enjoying Wolf Hall The Mirror and the Light. Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell is fantastic, and Damien Lewis as King Henry VIII also terrific. I urge anyone who loves this type of history to watch.

LISTEN to Barack Obama: The most important office in this democracy is the citizen. Freedom tomorrow is not a given—it has to be fought for. LFG!
