For those confused/bewildered Trump's policy decisions, here's a useful thought experiment: - Pretend you're back in 1895 - Find a random New York businessman - Transport him to 2016 - Make him President - Now ask yourself: What makes sense to him? What makes no sense to him?

@joseph_rohrbach @KKriegeBlog To say nothing of those STEM and Humanities can lay equal claim to - e.g. Descartes or Poincaré

@KKriegeBlog if any humanities scholar doesn’t recognize Wiles & what he did, i’d consider that as bad as a STEM type not knowing Mozart… but i’d bet there are a lot more humanities types not knowing Wiles than STEM types not knowing Mozart. that’s a problem.

I attended an academic conference (History) this weekend. There was a panel, run by brave graduate students, on the job market. I had to choke back my emotions, and I wasn’t the only one. A report on how the kids (and by that: adults with advanced degrees) are doing. 1/23

In 1961, the White House sent the Navy a set of elaborate plans for a naval base under Antarctica. Attached was a note with the order "Build it! J.F.K." After reviewing the fanciful plans, admirals called the White House to question the feasibility and cost of the project. It was then that the admirals learned the plans had been submitted to the White House by a 12-year-old girl and then sent to the Navy with a fake note by one of Kennedy's aides as a joke. Unamused, Naval Intelligence launched in investigation to find the prankster but the culprit was never revealed. #SeaStorySaturday

@dieworkwear Long live my spite coat!

i dont know who needs to hear this, but your identity is not your job. your identity is a sick ass jacket everyone recognizes you by

@EODHappyCaptain Fried chicken that’s somehow both raw and burnt at the same time. I’m still impressed by that culinary feat.

What’s one food you never want to eat again after your GWOT deployment, and why is it Pop-tarts?

@julie_goats Meanwhile, in North Knoxville… well sufficed to say that our cats are not impressed.

Truly a sad day in Navy history.

#OTD in 1914, the ships of the U.S. Navy officially became dry under General Order No. 99. Most ships spent the previous night having parties and mock funerals. British, French, German, and Dutch sailors rushed to any nearby American ship to help consume the last of the booze.

While on liberty in Cyprus in 1949, U.S. sailors and Marines from the Sixth Fleet drank more whisky, gin, and beer in two days than all the island's local inhabitants had consumed in the previous six months. #SeaStorySaturday

2021: Russian army is the second strongest army in the world. 2022: Russian army is the second strongest army in Ukraine. 2023: Russian army is the second strongest army in Russia.

Cyclist passes Russian troops in Rostov while blasting "Because I got high". That's it, that's the tweet.

@MJRosenspire If you do, please let the rest of us know!

I was so close to solving the final Bates problem in Kyoto. Maybe next time.

@PrezWisdom Easy, John Q. Adams post presidency as a member of the House. Maybe highlighting his top tier trolling of anti-abolitionists in the House.

Steven Spielberg’s “LINCOLN” focused on the passage of the 13th Amendment. Which President would you like to see a movie about, and more specific, which part of their Presidency would you want the movie to focus on? #POTUS 🎥

We enjoyed having former Calutron cubicle operator June Hillion (nee Hill) visit the Y-12 History Center with her family. We appreciate the important work that she and thousands of other women did for #NationalSecurity during the Manhattan Project. #MoreThanAJob #MyY12

Maz is the Godfather (mother) and I’m the consigliere!

Why am I just learning this now?! wfmt.com/2017/08/14/gat…

When the cat starts using her claws while kneading I can turn on the 1975 hit song “Love Hurts” and she stops, and stares off into the distance.

What this body, the TN House, is doing today is horrific, un-democratic, & uncalled for. I stand tall with @VoteGloriaJ, the people of Knoxville stand tall with Gloria, Tennesseans of all stripes stand with Gloria Johnson. Do NOT silence the voice 71,000+ Knoxvillians.

@ChefJonKung An Aga with an induction burner?! Sorcery!
