I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

I teach my students that studying history means investigating for the truth. With every document and source, we come closer to understanding the past, and when we understand the past, we understand ourselves.

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

Lore Lore is a podcast about the frightening history behind common folklore.

It should've never been made, IMO, and doesn't hold a candle to the podcast, now nine years in. It's that good.

1#: Never forget that story and narrative come first. #2: That means, embrace and cultivate the story-teller in you. #3: Avoid meddling and let the group's desicions and results be on them alone.
