If nobody got me I know Preston J Cole got me can I get a gas giant turned into a star?

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Cool selective outrage. Let’s talk about what actually happened at Little Bighorn since you brought it up.

The same warriors you’re celebrating spent years conducting raids on white settler homesteads, scalping children, burning families alive, kidnapping women for months of assault before ransom or death. The Comanche alone tortured captives in ways that would make your stomach turn. This wasn’t rare. It was deliberate, documented war policy.

Yes, the 7th Cavalry committed atrocities. So did the tribes they fought. War on the frontier was brutal on every side. The difference is you’re cheering one set of massacres while ignoring the other because it fits a cleaner narrative.

Cynthia Ann Parker. The Elm Creek Raid. The Salt Creek Massacre. Look them up before you post feathers like a trophy.

[History With Jacob @HistoryWJacob]

In 1814, British troops burned Washington and torched the Library of Congress. The young nation’s books went up in flames.

Thomas Jefferson answered by offering his own.

For decades he had built one of the finest private libraries in America. More than 6,000 volumes on law, science, history, philosophy and architecture.

He sold the entire collection to Congress to replace what the fire destroyed. It became the seed of the Library of Congress we have today.

When friends worried he had left himself with nothing, Jefferson wrote to John Adams in 1815:

“I cannot live without books.”

The minds behind the Declaration read widely and voraciously. They believed a free republic could not survive an ignorant people.

The men who built this country were readers first.

How on earth are you a White House correspondent and you don't know that active duty troops in the US Armed Forces aren't allowed to attach their names to political statements?

I was an illustrator for the USMC. And during my training, they informed us not once but many, many times that we're not allowed to attach our names to political opinions. And thanks to 60 Minutes showing up one day, I was given a script to reply with whenever they asked us rank-and-file what we thought of everything.

And before you get all uptight and huffy about it, this order was the exact same under Biden and Obama's administrations as well.

So who in the fuck are you to call any officer in our military a "coward"? @SecWar @VP One of your own correspondents is calling an Army officer a "coward" because he's following the order. Dunno about you, but I don't think he deserves such access anymore.

@kingpixmedia Who would say such a thing?!

[Sandy Petersen 🪔 @SandyofCthulhu]

@pcgamer John Carmack’s analysis is correct as are almost all of his takes. I have only immense respect for him, and if we all had 20-20 hindsight I guess the world would be overturned.

It was kind of refreshing that id was ruined by game devs instead of clueless execs for a change.

[planefag @planefag]

I think we can all admit it now - the Empire won. Shipping traffic through the Kessel Strait is still inhibited, and though the Rebels blew up the Death Star, they suffered 90% casualties in the snub-fighter squadron they sent to take it out - and if that's not bad enough, the Empire can probably replace that Death Star within just four years.

Total disaster.

Bad news is they fired my old boss at my old job and so I won't go back there

Good news is over the years I made good friends with people who are now managers at other hotels , who can help me

[Casual Silver @casual_silver]

@JAPversus draw a kirbo

[planefag @planefag]

Been noticing this funny trend recently where the same people saying "deterring Iran was always based on being able to keep the strait open" are also saying "opening the strait instead of keeping Iran blockaded forever was a grave mistake"

I developed video games for 25 years. I hate piracy with every fiber of my being.

I saw companies I loved and men I admired completely ruined by pirates. I detest every single excuse and facile lie used to justify piracy.

However, if you are using an emulator to play a game that you CANNOT PLAY OTHERWISE, then even I do not count it as piracy. Go forth and play Panzer Dragoon and House of the Dead with Sandy's blessing, should you need it.

[Barnaby Breaks History 🇺🇸 @CorpBarnaby]

🇺🇸 Andrew Jackson wasn’t the only President in a duel. Abraham Lincoln almost fought one to the death with SWORDS.

In 1842, a rival politician challenged 6'4" Abe over a mocking newspaper letter.

Because Abe was the one challenged, he got to choose the weapons.

His opponent was an expert marksman with a pistol. So, Abe smartly chose heavy cavalry swords and made a rule that neither man could cross a centerline.

Right before they started, Lincoln casually reached up and sliced a tree branch clean off above the guy's head.

The rival looked at Lincoln’s insane arm span, realized he couldn't get close enough to land a blow, and immediately called it off.

I have written to @AndyBurnhamGM requesting a meeting to discuss the findings of our rape gang inquiry report, and how our recommendations can help to protect vulnerable young girls across Britain.

[PancreasNoWork @PancreasNo]

@TheLuckyFateRev I’ve always figured it was a mix of “Humanity was still at full strength” and “the Covenant rather underestimated how much they’d need to bring mankind to heel”

Still a lost cause either way were it not for things like the Great Schism

[PancreasNoWork @PancreasNo]

It’s even funnier if you go by the Fall of Reach because then the most important world Humanity has gets obliterated in a long weekend

[PancreasNoWork @PancreasNo]

I like how in Halo the start of the Human-Covenant War is “Harvest, this backwater farm world, was a grueling back and forth campaign of 5 years” and the end is “They got Reach in a month dude we’re so fucked”
