@OVTweetmarck The most difficult thing I have ever done in my entire life -- harder than climbing Mt. Washington on a broken leg -- is driving my sister around to every fancy shop in the greater Boston area to look at flatware for her wedding gift registry.

@feelsdesperate You are underrating the threat Romney, Ryan, et al posed to the Democrat's welfare state. Indentity politics have risen in importance recently, but generally IDP is to gain votes for social programs and less for its own sake. Romney was attacked for that reason.

I’ll never understand why libs went after normie Republicans so hard (eg Romney in 2012, the SPLC going after milquetoast pro life groups, etc.). Libs had a defanged, captured opposition who were happy going 60mph in the same direction the Left was heading towards at 90 mph and who just wanted things to be a little more ‘free market.’ Libs should have buttressed Chamber-of-Commerce Republicans. That they didn’t and instead tried to anathematize them was a generational political error.

@Historycourses My uncle's family were originally Goldsteins until *his* uncle changed the spelling to "Galdston" because the uncle admired the British PM Gladstone but didn't quite want to go full Anglo.

Many are unaware of this, but in Jewish culture being stabbed is viewed as a greater indignity than being represented by a character named "Goldstein."

@jk_rowling @zarahsultana I’m not surprised the illiterate and hateful JK Rowling who called a hypothetical Jewish character “Goldstein” doesn’t understand what globalise the intifada is. You hateful wretch, I regret the sixty or so hours I spent reading your books as a child.

@Peter_Nimitz Alexander and Hephaestion fancied themselves to be Achilles and Patroclus. While divine patronage was common, Commodus's worship of Hercules and donning costumes was taken to extremes (he was also a supernal marksmen and warrior while moonlighting in the gladiatorial arena).

@ratlpolicy The immediate danger in mid-1940 was that Germany would get its hands on the French and British fleets, and maybe install a British puppet regime as well. Even then conquering the US would be highly unlikely, but fighting the entire world would have been extremely difficult.

@GiancarloSopo FDR. He beat the Nazis, and he did a better job than anyone else, GOP or Democrat, likely would have.

Honest question for my Republican followers: Who was the best Democratic president of the 20th century and why? Not limited to these, no wrong answers.

@nobodyknows2322 Slavery was unusual, but sectional conflict was the norm. Every LA nation I can think of had an extended political conflict over federalism vs centralization. The US Civil War was very similar, politically, to contemporary conflicts in Argentina and Mexico.

Prior? The slavery controversy made us weird, in both its sectional nature and how you had a significant mass of *white people* in favor of emancipation (of various types, not saying they were all Garrisonians) by 1860 After because of our rise to Superpower status

@aelfred_D I had a conversation with my dad (the world's biggest fan of The Band) about that cover, and it turned into a rambling anecdote about the time my dad met the chicken man, incidentally implicating Frank Perdue in several federal crimes.

@Historycourses Funny how the British winning at Brandywine and occupying Philadelphia was a strategic dead end.

The three biggest crisis points for the Revolution were December 1776, summer of 1780, and early 1781.
Aedanus Burke@aedanusburke

Today in 1780 the Siege of Charleston was fully underway and the city would last just a few more weeks. Lasting from March 29th through May 12th the surrender would be one of the worst defeats of the Continental Army during the war. A few months later the tide of the war would begin to turn as the South Carolina Partisans took to the field.

@ZODIAC_MF Dr. Evil as Lorne Michaels by way of Donald Pleasance (which I did not get at the time, and only thought it was some inside, Canadian reference to the Kids in the Hall sketch).

Mazer Rackham Jr.@TheNextMazer

@ZODIAC_MF My morning began with someone claiming that Austin Powers was a badly needed corrective to the series' excesses (he seemed to think the movies were heretofore unaware of these)

@emzanotti For me that happened last year when my friend told me the story behind Burt Reynold's farewell monologue in All Dogs Go to Heaven and I almost cried. (The child actress from the film had been murdered, so the monologue, composed after her death, is really a farewell to her.)

@LiteralSheridan It's dispiriting that I have no idea who half of these people are, I actively avoid most of the ones I do recognize, and Shapiro and Stewart are the only ones I actively seek out (and infrequently at that).
