Historian here seen on the other site: Spain vs France and England vs Netherlands pretty much sums up mid-17th century warfare and you could flip the countries and it would still be true!

Is Johnny McEntee mentioned in this article? Does this article mention that everything Trump says is an obvious lie? Or are you taking this seriously?

Took an oath of office to serve on a local board and the old New Deal/Popular Front American patriotism swelled in me and it blows that TFG took one and didn’t know and didn’t care … and may do so again.

Spot on. Just got to live with the first point. It’s the second point that bugs me.

…and just because you saw something about Confederates doesn’t mean you’ve stumbled into a Lost Cause miasma. It doesn’t help to know either of these things. (👀 @onthemedia.bsky.social this morning)

The Washington Post's faltering performance in this week's competition with the NYT and Atlantic to pull focus from the emergent authoritarian has raised new concerns among friends of constitutional democracy as this nation heads toward the election.

We're not as obsessed about this as you are. In fact, more important things are happening right now.

In a small Spanish pueblo with my Italian friend watching the Italy Spain match and when Italy scored an own-goal just now the bartended pointed out my Italian friend and everyone jeered. If there’s a bar fight this 78 yo behind me will immediately kick my ass. I love you all. Wish us luck.

Walking through remotest Extremadura Spain yesterday and wondering how some legionary general and his people up a decided the right time to proclaim his emperorship and the go and organize a march on Rome, while I can’t even figure out if the albergue in the next town is open. So…same, Indy, same.

Reskeet with how old you are, using a vague proxy: I looked for work by circling likely opportunities in the classified ads, and then driving there… or just driving around looking for help wanted signs. Got one or two jobs that way.

I had a friend who was a chronic pipe smoker, and when we flew to England circa 1989 the airline wouldn’t let him smoke a pipe, so he had to smoke cigarettes. He looked miserable.

I had a big chunk of time carved out today for "find out wtf is going on with Mohela" and this is extremely helpful. Thanks. (On top of all the uncertainty, I'm apparently on hold pending affirmation that I've made 120 payments--which I have, but won't be official until after this limbo period.)
