To be honest, most of these people would better choices than who's actually on it.

Anything by him makes the list by default.

Maybe it's time to rethink the World Cup this summer? Too bad FIFA have their nose so far up Trump's ass that it will never happen. Scotland have essentially won Group C if Brazil, Morocco, and Haiti are banned.

So Tunisia, Cabo Verde, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Iran, Senegal, Algeria, Jordan, Ghana, Brazil, Colombia, Uzbekistan, Morocco, Haiti, Brazil, and possibly 3 other countries won't be able to make it to the World Cup?

Good news for Scotland, as they have won Group C six months early.

Bruce Gilley is the happiest man on earth right now. Also, Miller has no idea what neoliberalism actually means.

When Trump invades Greenland, and he will, what is to become of NATO article 5?

After watching West Ham today I take solace in the fact that my day is not as bad as Maduro's

Could be, but then films especially in that era were also prime drivers of pop culture and language. Gaslight created a new meaning for the term. Not inconceivable that bombshell did the same.

Maybe Jean Harlow's 1933 movie? Don't know if it was used before to describe women.

The federal government can, did, and continues to use federal funds to coerce states to changes their rules and laws.

Reagan did this to force states to raise drinking age to 21, or they lose 10% of DOT funds. I think Louisiana was the last holdout, and if you've ever driven there, it still shows.

Now I need to watch this movie.

This seems like something @nytpitchbot.bsky.social would come up with

Are these French? Do you know what unit? In Burma, the West African Divisions used porters, which was a great way to move in the Arakan, but overlooked was what happened when they made contact with the Japanese. Apparently, 200-300 unarmed men are prone to panic and panic in battle is contagious.

To be fair, Calibri is not an esthetically pleasing font, and I prefer using Garamond or Constantia.

That being said, all my emails will be in Calibri for the foreseeable future.

Student emails me asking why he got a zero. He claimed he did not use AI. His submission:

Drunk raccoon found passed out on liquor store floor after breaking in The intoxicated animal suffered no injuries and was released back into the wild by animal protection once sober.

I yearn for a world where this is the most important piece of news.

You have to disconnect from this if you hope to survive the next 3 years with your wits intact. Keeping up with the constant flow of crazy is beyond exhausting.

Had Tom Cotton been a senator during the Vietnam War, he would have been one of the ones trying to prosecute Hugh Thompson for stopping the My Lai massacre.

This entire cabinet is filled with people that seems like Trump was looking for the actual worst people for their respective jobs. Hegseth is just one of many, like Kennedy, Patel, McMahon, and the list goes on. The incompetence seems to be by design here. I don't see him leaving.

A few photos from my trip to Potsdam for the SHoW conference, which is one of my (if not THE) favorite conferences, and not just because it gives me an excuse to avoid Thanksgiving in the US. @sochistorywar.bsky.social

Hi, I'm trying to put together a panel on Burma at the next SMH meeting. If you or anyone you know might be interested in being part of it, let me know.

I'm glad to see your new book has a chapter on the African soldiers there. That's what my next book is going to be about.

Is gerrymandered to the point of insanity

New North Carolina law forces changes to accreditation A new law will require public institutions to change accreditors every cycle. Passed quietly with no debate, the bill follows similar legislation passed in Florida.

The nc legislature passed a law that all schools in the unc system must switch accreditors every cycle.

Hence the shift.
