Our kids got to watch a rocket launch with astronauts to the moon and we got planes in the twin towers.

Maybe there is hope for the world.

@ShaykhSulaiman I’m sure it’s about the Us Embassy hostages in the 80s.

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. – The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected and tracked two Russian TU-142 military aircraft operating in the Alaskan and Canadian Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ) on March 4, 2026.

NORAD launched two U.S. Air Force F-35 fighter aircraft, two F-22 fighter aircraft, four KC-135 tankers, one E-3 AWACS, two Canadian CF-18 fighter aircraft, and one CC-150 tanker to positively identify, monitor, and intercept the Russian aircraft in the American and Canadian Air Defense Identification Zones.

@CTS1630 @philthatremains My brother was normally at JBLM.
But he was crew chief or something on the chinooks. I don’t know his actual job. But it was so stressful when he would leave and you just have no idea what’s going on. 😭

[𝙰𝚕𝚢𝚜𝚊 @iamathistle]

@dmbkparker He just retired. His last name is Brown.

[𝙰𝚕𝚢𝚜𝚊 @iamathistle]

@dmbkparker You probably know my brother then. 🩷 thank you for everything you have done.

[𝙰𝚕𝚢𝚜𝚊 @iamathistle]

@GFrattAZ @philthatremains Yeah I can’t believe they put him on TV. I think it’s dangerous and reckless.

[𝙰𝚕𝚢𝚜𝚊 @iamathistle]

@CTS1630 @philthatremains And is probably not enjoying the attention because the less eyes on them the better they are able to perform.

My brother retired from the 160th. I’m thankful he came home every single time because so many have not.

Radiocarbon dating shows these prints date to the late Iron Age — moments in the lives of people who walked this landscape two millennia ago, a few centuries before the first reference to the Picts. #Archaeology at the University of Aberdeen!

The Witches sing in Old Scots (Scottish Gaelic) to Lady Macbeth, much to her distress as she can’t decipher their meaning 😬

I'm usually not one to complain... but I've been trying to get ahold of someone at The Alamo for months and have had no luck whatsoever and they have what I need in their collection and I'm getting really frustrated.

[𝙰𝚕𝚢𝚜𝚊 @iamathistle]

Are we talking about Victoria’s talk about the Book of Kells here or is there another platform for this discourse that I should be on?

Texas History people:: are there any academic works on Cephas/Caiphas Ham?

@vivstan211240 Eric picked it up this morning and was looking at it and didn’t realize you helped consult with Outlaw King, which is one of our faves. So I’m sure he’ll end up reading it too. :)

[𝙰𝚕𝚢𝚜𝚊 @iamathistle]

@vivstan211240 it’s here!
Can’t wait to read it!

[𝙰𝚕𝚢𝚜𝚊 @iamathistle]

@vivstan211240 I’m sure it will be!

It just takes forever for things to get here 😂

[𝙰𝚕𝚢𝚜𝚊 @iamathistle]

@vivstan211240 @StoryScotland Just ordered it!
So excited!

I know it will. We loved our visit to Bannockburn and then I really enjoyed chatting with you and by that alone, I know it’s going to be really good!
