I have called my Congresswoman and both my Senators and asked them to please work towards a bill limiting the War Powers Act in a highly targeted way so that President Trump cannot attack (Democratic, NATO member, US-Ally) Denmark via a war of conquest in Greenland.

Your congressperson might only receive 10 - 50 calls a day. Posting on the internet is about 1/100,000,000th as effective as being one of those calls. Please consider how much damage such an attack could do for literally zero benefit and call today:

@joachim_voth Hi. I teach US history to High School students. Is there any way I could have them use to experience what it was like to talk to someone before WWI?

How did people in 1913 see the world? How did they think about the future? We trained LLMs exclusively on pre-1913 texts—no Wikipedia, no 20/20. The model literally doesn't know WWI happened. Announcing the Ranke-4B family of models. Coming soon: github.com/DGoettlich/his…

@TheSopranosClub Other than his family, it really wasn’t in the interest of anyone in his crew to keep him alive any longer. He proved himself to be a not great boss, and couldn’t earn any respect from them with the way he behaved. “Fuck that honor and loyalty shit.”

If Tony Soprano was whacked at the end… what are the reasons why?

@SnoopDogg This could be a joke, but if it's not do what is best for your health. Always.

I’m giving up smoke.

@MontecitoPod Also, I briefly talk about Las Vegas on my podcast about what was happening in pop culture this week 30 years, 20 years, and 10 years ago. 302010show.libsyn.com/the-rocks-big-….

@MontecitoPod Just discovered your pod, and it's a fun an easy listen! Good job!

We aren't dead yet, promise, just the real world where they make your boys do work got rowdy on us lately. Hang tight, we'll be back.

Civil War Photo Sleuth is an attempt to put a name to every single person in a photograph from the Civil War. Cool project and the only picture of anyone with the last name "Ralls" is of a Union drummer holding up a lizard. I've no evidence, but I'm claiming him as an ancestor.

Who is the most famous writer that doesn’t have a single biography professionally published about them?

RIP Mathew Perry. This was a great line that really resonated with me but it has also stuck with me because he delivered it great.

I will never forget Matthew Perry’s face when Miriam Margolyes told the story about meeting Laurence Olivier. A truly priceless reaction. R.I.P Matthew
