Back in the day when ads were actually creative and funny. 😂

The Trump administration is opening up land for oil and gas drilling in or around: —The Grand Canyon —Zion National Park —Joshua Tree National Park —Arches National Park —Grand Teton National Park —Denali National Park

This is an official government account in a democracy. This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

@HistoryWJacob @EchoesofWarYT The man is seriously talented

Is Don Troiani the best American History painter?

Ted Cruz on the meeting between Senate Republicans and acting AG Todd Blanche about the $1.8B slush fund: “Fireworks at an epic level.” “One of the roughest meetings I’ve seen in my entire time in the Senate.” “Fiery does not begin to cut it. They were screaming at the acting attorney general.”

Over three days of fighting, more than 23,500 men fell as casualties during the Battle of Stones River, making it the 7th bloodiest battle of the War, ranking between Shiloh and Antietam. It also contributed to 1862 being the bloodiest year by far in American history up to that point!

A magical decade…

@KevinBeling @GenTXer2 one of my absolute favorite songs by them, though, is on their 3rd full album, Subhuman Race Album itself is weak but this song........is fucking great. youtu.be/ArxNz4Q6KVo

@GenTXer2 First 2 Skid Row albums are incredible. Over-the-top dumb hard rock ain’t a sin.

80s Hair Metal Power Ballad you may have forgotten: Skid Row: “I Remember You” (1989)

Probably the best rant in baseball history 😂

@EchoesofWarYT I couldn’t picture it from reading it. I had this made up with ChatGPT. I hope it helps. I checked it for accuracy.

162 years ago today, Robert E. Lee had Ulysses S. Grant beaten. He had the entire Army of the Potomac in a trap that should have ended the war. And he was too sick to give the order. The setup was this. After two weeks of horrific fighting at Spotsylvania, Grant did what he always did. He disengaged and slid south, trying to get around Lee's right flank and force him into the open. Lee read the move instantly. He marched his army hard for 48 hours and got to the North Anna River first, putting a water obstacle between himself and the larger Union force. Then he built something extraordinary. Instead of forming a normal defensive line along the south bank, Lee shaped his army into an inverted V, with the point jammed against the river at a place called Ox Ford. The two arms of the V angled back away from the water on either side. To anyone studying it on a map, it looked like Lee had made a mistake. He had given Grant an easy crossing at Jericho Mill on one end and another at Chesterfield Bridge on the other. Grant took both crossings on May 23 and 24, exactly as Lee wanted him to. The moment Grant's army was across the river, he discovered the trap. His force was now split into three pieces. The two wings that had crossed were separated by the point of Lee's V at Ox Ford. To reinforce one wing from the other, Union troops would have to cross the river, march around the apex under Confederate fire, and cross again. It was physically impossible to do quickly. Each wing was outnumbered locally. Each could be destroyed in detail before the other could help. Lee had it. The Army of Northern Virginia had Grant exactly where it had wanted to put a Union army for three years. And Lee couldn't get out of his cot. He had been fighting an intestinal illness, probably dysentery, for days. By May 24 he was running a high fever, unable to ride a horse, unable to even stand for long stretches. He had watched the Union troops cross the river through a spyglass from a carriage. None of his three corps commanders was healthy or experienced enough to coordinate the attack on his behalf. Longstreet had been shot by his own men in the Wilderness two weeks earlier. Ewell was sick. A. P. Hill was sick. Anderson was brand new to corps command. There was no one to do what Lee could not. An aide later reported him muttering from his sickbed, over and over, "We must strike them a blow. We must never let them pass us again in safety." No one struck the blow. Grant figured out the danger within 48 hours, pulled his wings back across the river, and slid south again toward Cold Harbor and eventually Petersburg. The war went on for another 11 months. Roughly 200,000 more Americans died. Historians still argue about what would have happened if Lee had been healthy on May 24, 1864. Some say nothing. Some say the Army of the Potomac would have been crippled badly enough to swing the 1864 election against Lincoln, which would have ended the war on Confederate terms. Nobody actually knows. What we do know is that the entire arc of American history, the survival of the Union, the end of slavery, the shape of the country we live in, may have hinged on the gut bacteria of a 57-year-old man in central Virginia. That is what military history actually looks like up close. Not destiny. Not inevitability. A sick general in a carriage, watching his chance walk away.

Bush’s rescue by the USS Finback in September 1944 was captured on film. He would remain on the sub for around 30 days, standing watch and assisting with rescue operations, before disembarking at Midway. Our 41st President, America 🫡🇺🇸

@cllctMedia Oh man, that makes me tear up a little. What a cool gesture outta Kyle. RIP Rowdy.

Never forget when Kyle Busch spotted this fan wearing his hat while driving next to her in traffic 🥹 This is one of the most wholesome interactions you'll ever see.

The finale of The Wire (2002) is perfect precisely since it refuses to offer real closure or redemption. The institutions keep moving, the corners stay the same, new faces replace the old ones, and the cycle just continues without sentimentality.

I'd refuse too 🤣😂🤣😂
