Reading a fanfic that I am enjoying for free and becoming unreasonably annoyed when the unpaid author incorrectly writes that the north star is the brightest star in the sky
I once tried to read a book that was supposed to be a satirical take on the military and politice and in one of the first chapters a character couldn't start a humvee because they didn't have the keys and I was so irrationally irritated I never finished it.
Guys I'm making fun of myself I'm not mad at the author

A story that haunts me about 9/11 is how all but 13 of Morgan Stanley's approximately 2,700 employees made it out of the South Tower alive because their head of security over rode the NYC Port Authority's instructions and started evacuating immediately.
Rick Rescorla was born in Cornwall and fought for both the UK and US militaries, most famously in the battle of Ia Drang in Vietnam, of We Were Soldiers fame. He was awarded a Silver Star and two Bronze Stars.
Rescorla left active duty, went to law school and ended up working as head of security for Dean Witter (which later merged with Morgan Stanley) in their World Trade Center offices. When the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993 he was the last person out of the building.

I got flagged for ABCP once.

I had just stopped breastfeeding my twins, so that 1000 calorie deficit I had every day went away, and my body was still adjusting.

I passed my APFT still (this was years ago) but was one percent over body fat.
I think Height and Weight are frustrating for a lot of soldiers because it's a tool that's used like a sledgehammer when individual soldier circumstances vary. People go on and off medications, they're trying to gain muscle to improve ACFT scores, etc.
I lost my promotable status. It was pretty humiliating. I went to an Army nutritionist who gave me "expert" advice like "when you eat pizza try to get pizza with veggies on it"

Okay I did not expect the making of Frozen II documentary on Disney Plus to make me cry.

The lead animator of Elsa is reading off letters from fans about how much the first movie meant to them and I 😭
Kristin Bell crying as she records "The Next Right Thing" 😭

Yeah it would be unprecedented for white supremacists to lose control of the Alamo
A fun fact is that one of the major causes of the Texas Revolution is taught as "concern of immigration of Anglo-Americans" but one of the major reasons for THAT is that the Mexican govt of the time disapproved of slavery while the white Texans really wanted to own slaves.
So the white Texans seceded and fought the Texas revolution and then made slavery legal. This fact was NOWHERE in the Alamo museum that I could find when I visited. Instead it is all framed as "white Texans didn't want the centralist Mexican government curtailing their rights".

My new conspiracy theory is that the PMF militias at the US Embassy were there with the cooperation of the Iraqi government as a calculated, escalated response to the bombing of PMF sites within their territory, without clearance from the Iraqis.
The PMF have legitimate (if problematic) status in the Iraqi government and the Iraqi government does not have the strength to get rid of them. And CJTF-OIR's stated mission is to counter ISIS, not the PMF.
Iraq was pissed that we shifted the mission to a counter-Iran/PMF strike.

Now. The protests. Here's the thing - in October the Iraqi government spent a lot of effort and killed a lot of people to keep protestors out of the neighborhood where the US Embassy is located.
