On the topic of lawyers...
I literally can't stop watching this

This is the greatest thing of 2021

"I'm prepared to go forward...I'm here live... I'm not a cat"

I am DECEASED
The dude in the screen above him needs to be a poker player because he deadpans all but one tiny smirk through all of that kitten's explanation of why it's a kitten today and not a lawyer
Also, I hope that cat-lawyer doesn't suffer any repercussions from this

This was an act of joy for all the world and I'm grateful to the universe for it

I'm still laughing

About to dive into this! Image
Holy shit do I feel this so hard. I too was blinded by the Lost Cause growing up, even as a northerner. Everything I do now to show the truth is done to make up for what damage I've done in the past Image
Ok, I need to buy BG (ret)Seidule a drink for this. For putting into incredibly clear words how idiotic the myth of the Lost Cause sounds when facts are applied Image

Hey there. It's Friday night. The gin is flowing like...gin. or water, they're both liquids, they flow, it's a thing.

More importantly, who wants to hear about an insane guy from New Hampshire who helped win the American Revolution?

Yes, it's time for some #drunjhistory
Ok, this all starts, as most stories do, with a baby being born to some people who were from some part of the British Empire because holy shit did those people like to colonize. John Stark was born in Londonderry, NH in 1828 to parents from Londonderry, Ireland, bc of course
You might be wondering what a New Hampshire is. Well, it aint old hampshire, that's for sure. It's like, almost Canada, but not. It's sorta like Vermont but more granite-y and flintier or something. There's lots of snow and taciturnity. And primaries. And Manchester is gross

So, I'm reading this military history book, and no, I won't tell you the name of it or the author because that wouldn't be polite, but as I'm reading I realize...this person's just drawn from like 3-4 primary sources and everything else is secondary. The endnotes are mainly ibid
Me being a nerd, I actually use footnotes and endnotes. There's sometimes hidden gems in there, including notes from the author that crack you up. But not here. So I keep reading, and keep coming across error after error, mostly contextual bc they haven't studied primary sources
I flip to the back and see this person has multiple books and refers to themself as a historian. About that.

See, being a historian isn't going "hey, I found this old stuff, it tells the full story, now buy my book! "

Damn, Phillip Schuyler was the MASTER at politely but completely undercutting people

Namely, Ira Allen, Ethan's brother, who was trying to set Vermont up as its own thing
Philip Schuyler, who you might know as the father of these ladies
A complicated figure because of his slave ownership, Philip Schuyler also bears responsibility with Benedict Arnold for saving the American cause for independence in the Northern Department from 1775-1777. His logistics talents were unrivalled.

An excerpt from George Marshall's 1933 Heintzelman letter, which is just...timeless.
Louder for the BCTs in the back...
WOW

OK, so the inability of maneuver officers to understand enablers is not limited to the 21st century then
(1935 letter from Marshall)

Logging into my military email today and seeing the unread emails that APPEAR TO BE FROM A REPLY ALL
Ah, it begins with a simple "my Microsoft Teams doesn't work so, I'LL ASK EVERYONE ON THIS NGB DISTRO"
Instead of stopping the madness, named recipients FORWARD THE MESSAGE ON while ALSO being confused why they're on the distro

At this point, it all appears to be civilian National Guard employees replying all to each other in confusion about why they're getting this email
