Why not send them to listen in their bunks for their elementary-level politics lecture like they did in 2020 on the USS Theodore Roosevelt? You know, that time that Trump and the DoD tried to let Covid rip on an aircraft carrier?

Buttered mashed potatoes with salt and pep, after you haven’t had them in a long time, are the most delicious thing ever. So perfect. So humble.

Having worked on clothing in the navy I can say that “logistics gay” is a very common modern sentiment from the public to academic historians.

The problem with switching to flannel sheets season is that now I never want to get out of bed even more than usual.

"Slavery combined with cheap fish made for cheap labour, which in turn made for cheap sugar. Some of this sugar returned to the Northeast and became rum in New England distilleries." - Sandy Hunter

Omg I was just thinking this morning that it was only a matter of time

Got to look at 1950s sailor inventories today because apparently the RGSS never stopped requiring them! We saw records for deceased Indonesian passengers going to the Hajj and my first sailor killed by motor vehicle, hit by a lorry in Genoa while on leave.

Please help spread the word about our CFP? Id love to get a wide variety of posts for this series

Brazil mostly booked! Excited to use the only Portuguese word I know, "baccalieu!"

Pretty rich considering that if women took this advice the next cartoon would be "omg look at what these stupid women are wearing!"

We are still open for participants in this year's workshops! You don't have to be a historian to be involved or consider yourself a maritime historian.

First Rainfall of August Finally Falling on Parched Province If you never thought you'd see a headline story about showers, well, here it is. The rain is finally falling i...

I looked for news about the rain and VOCM provided.

Why would I have four limbs if I could cut off my own arm? I can outsource the role of my left hand to another lesser body or have chatgpt randomly spit out a summary of what bending my elbow is like. People will pay $10,000 a year to see my missing arm.

Who’s been working on amazing maritime scholarship this summer? Finish it up and submit it to us at Mainsheet! We could use some more submissions for our upcoming issue— it’s our first general issue, any topic in maritime studies. www.mainsheet.mysticseaport.org/post/3355-ca...

Secret passages on ships are my fav.

Everyday another outrage.

The rather spoiler-ific cover for the Report of the Marine Board of Investigation Into the Implosion of the Submersible TITAN (CG1788361) in the North Atlantic Ocean Near the Wreck Site of the RMS TITANIC Resulting in the Loss of Five Lives on June 18, 2023. Not much point in reading it now.

Ok, let's depress ourselves still further, shall we?

By metaverse thinking, I mean that these people assume the world on a computer is equivalently or even more “real” than the actual world.

Some of these require actual people to perform the logistical roles that this assumes AI will replace. Like any computer can pair a reservation with a table but the reason a host is needed is to make sure the seating is enforced per on-the-ground information. This is all metaverse thinking.

Just baffled by people with principles.

Hey, I'm streaming transcription again trying to keep on track to finish these ledgers in August/September. Come join me!
