North Carolina now the home to the Nation’s Capital, we did it y’all.

[History With Jacob @HistoryWJacob]

Every word of Shelby Foote’s 1.5 million word Civil War epic was written longhand with a dip pen.

No typewriter. No computer. Definitely no AI.

He averaged 500 words a day. It took him twenty years.

Why the old-fashioned way?

“It helps me slow down,” he said.

History wasn’t typed, it was dipped into existence. One deliberate stroke at a time.

Some people expect me to be eating a pint of ice cream after my loss.

I have other plans.

Today, I led a letter calling for the removal of Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who released a 14-time offender who went on to murder Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte.

This tragedy was preventable. There must be accountability. North Carolinians deserve better.

Sgt. Maj. Mike Vining: The Man. The Meme. The Army Legend.

An EOD technician and founding member of multiple elite units, Vining made his mark on Army history early in his career when he helped destroy a weapons cache with over 7 million rounds of ammunition.

He gained fame online as the subject of Army memes, thanks to his unassuming demeanor and stack of medals.

In honor of his birthday, here’s a small part of his incredible story.

This is why the US just needs to back out of this completely. Let those countries sort it out. Not our problem. We don't need to be policing it. Trump has done all he can. Time to focus on ourselves.

Armed with a pistol and a cane, Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. landed with the first wave at Utah Beach on D-Day.

This is the epic story of the first General to land on D-Day, who was also the son of a U.S. President. 🧵

This story isn't getting enough attention in North Carolina at the present moment -- 360,000 fewer people living in poverty compared with a decade ago. North Carolina has lowered its relative poverty rate at a faster clip than the United States as a whole.

This is meaningful change that we should take pride in as a state.

In the midst of the confusion and vanity of human words, we need the #WordOfGod. Scripture is the only true compass for our journey, and it alone is capable of leading us back to the true meaning of life amid so much woundedness and confusion.

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany isn't a real Medieval castle.

It's less than 150 years old and there are even photos of it being built.

But that isn't unusual — because lots of famous old buildings aren't as old as they seem...
