There is a teeny tiny part of me that hopes we find a measure of success with the Two Guys Talking History show. I know the odds are long, perhaps impossible. But I was waffling on sticking around for the demise of Twitter. Musk and the right are damned and determined to turn it

There are only two kinds of liars in this world when it comes to porn.

Those who say they quit and those who say they never started.

Plenty of people will tell a pollster they want to ban porn, then they will hop on over to onlyfans.

🧵1. I have no doubt that there are antisemitic people, that is to say individuals who would see all Israelis murdered.

But here is the thing. On the whole the Arab States, despite being perfectly capable of waging an apocalyptic campaign against Israel at any point haven't

Apparently Donald Trump is 215 pounds.

In others news the moon landing was faked, cigarettes are good for you, and the Russian military doesn't commit war crimes.

1. So I've spent a couple days researching the contents of Florida's social studies curriculum in preparation to talk about it on stream. There are big empirical problems there which are ably laid out by others.

Setting these aside I want to talk about a different problem...

1. The nugget of "Secret documents said Japan was going to surrender in November." were the product of the Army Air Force's strategic bomber projections generated after the war.

The exact document being the US Strategic Bombing Survey.

There are flaws here...

Elon Musk announced the acquisition of a steel ball for a record breaking 17 billion dollars.

Musk fans await his plan improve his ball with the addition of eight corners with rapturous anticipation.

Everyone else remains skeptical.

1. The tragedy of Musk taking over Twitter and utterly bumblefucking his way around is that he fundmentally misunderstood what Twitter was.

He saw his right wing interests being criticized. And he saw this because that's how Twitter works. It's designed to keep you here...

@JeriLRyan Star Trek: Enterprise-G when?

[Sir Alan Wein II @Daedalusx007]

It's ok Elon. 1 in 5 guys has trouble getting it up.

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

Can you hear me now?

[Daedalus History @2GuysHistory]

This absolutely cannot be real.

Funny.

But not real.

It's perfectly reasonable that as our understanding of a thing improves we will identify more incidences of it.

Hell our understanding of autism has advanced fairly substantially since Hetman and I graduated High School in 2007.

The best part of this is the implication that all that's stands between Russia and victory was some leaves.

I remain puzzled by the insistence of Neo-Confederates who claim they are honoring their ancestors by celebrating the Confederacy.

It was treason. And they lost. It was a short lived nearly dictatorial; violently racist failed state.

There is nothing to be proud of.

@punishedmother @bengrossbg Participation in a failed insurrection and only getting three years? Kid should be thanking his lucky stars.

1. In middle of 1942 Walter Rauff was dispatched to North Africa to head up Einsatzgruppe Egypt. Roughly translated, this means Special Action Group Egypt. This was an SS unit which infamously formed roving kill squads in Eastern Europe the year before.

Rauff met with Rommel.

1. Ignore the basement dwelling Confederate Cosplayer here. This account is displaying one of the common cognitive biases you see all too often.

Actual historians have been terrible about explaining how history and contemporary politics can't be neatly separated...

@mearn4d10 @arckhamplays On the plus side, at least people are watching.

Hate views are still views.
