On September 29, 1864 US forces attacked the defenses of Richmond, VA during the Battle of New Market Heights. Two Divisions, comprised mostly of Black soldiers, played a crucial role in the fight - 14 of whom received the Medal of Honor for their actions. 🧵

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning:

"For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles."

@USNTigerGolf I believe that the traditional phrase is “I’ll dance with the one what brung me.”

I haven't read the book in question, but I think presenting, "Japan should have just built 16 more carriers" as a serious argument, by either Goldman or VDH, should just immediately discredit the speaker from being taken seriously on modern conflict. 1/

From the MIT Living Wage Calculator (left) and ALICE Survival Budget stats (right). $20/hour isn’t even a living wage for a single person with 0 children.

Banning smartphones in schools is good for learning and well-being.

New study of 400+ middle schools in Norway: after smartphone bans, girls had fewer mental health issues & better grades. Boys and girls were less likely to be bullied.

Smartphones belong at home or in lockers.

Another year, another YIG conference. Sgt. York statue for scale. Note that the state chose to remember him as a doughboy rather than the founder of a rural school 🤔
