Great series of threads on evaluating sources and the historical method!

[Dr. Alexander S. Burns @KKriegeBlog]

Recently, Ridley Scott, when asked about historical inaccuracies in his films said:
"How do you know, where you there? Napoleon had 400 books written about him. Maybe the first was the most accurate... there is a lot of speculation."
A 🧵on how historians know what we know. 1/25

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Former Trump Defense Secretary Mark Esper:

“I said that I wouldn't support Donald Trump. I don't think he's fit for office because he puts himself first, and I think anybody running for office should put the country first."

Dear MAGA, please ask yourself, how come (nearly) everyone who worked for Trump thinks he is utterly unfit for office?!

"Alarm bells are ringing. The US is rapidly depleting its munitions stockpiles to support Ukraine. This support comes amid a serious backlog on the delivery of over $14 billion worth of arms to Taiwan...America’s industrial base atrophied." 1/

@NikolaiAndresky Normally I would prefer to fly anything over 4-5 hours, but flying has become so painful and unpredictable with long lines, overbooked flights, delays, and cancellations that it’s forced us to shift our cost-benefit calculus.

[Tim Jacobsen @Jacobsen_Tim]

@NikolaiAndresky I wish. We have a wedding to go to that weekend.

[Tim Jacobsen @Jacobsen_Tim]

@NikolaiAndresky Looks interesting. I may need to check that out.

@BigSouthSports, where did you get these softball umpires? This is NCAA Division 1 softball conference championships not little league. The umps are consistently wrong…all the teams would agree. This is an embarrassment!
