Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 06/08/2025It's Bobby Murcer 5, Baltimore 4 day ... 1979. My most memorable regular season Yankees game. Take care, Lemon and Tugboat. 000

Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 20/05/2025I have always enjoyed my time in the Netherlands. Thirty years ago I spoke at the Roosevelt Institute of American Studies. Thirty years later, I returned to speak again. I had some time to explore a little bit. 130
Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 18/05/2025And my response, which she clearly found quite objectionable: 210
Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 18/05/2025An academic who derided someone as a white guy and a history fan without a PhD got upset when I asked about the relevance of all that to the argument at hand. Her response? 240
Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Sherman always looking for attention. That's why he's the only person talking in this painting: 110
Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 03/04/2025FDR was right. Even if he did slip up badly with interning Japanese Americans. Principles and practices. 050
Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Always interesting when the person who claims to be the brightest in the room is exposed as a desperate liar and fraud. 020

Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 16/02/2025More honorable than Donald J. Trump ... Neville Chamberlain. 150
Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Trump will take the oath of office with Lincoln and Grant looking over his shoulders as a sign of the (d)evolution of the Republican party. 092
Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Actually, the NYT did not ignore me in 2000. And there's this: 120

Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Ben and Grandpa watch #Isles hockey in Seattle ... Ben's first NHL game. The @seakraken.bsky.social put on quite a show and were great with Ben! 040
Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Maybe this helps explain why some people don't quite embrace remembering the Civil War. 010
Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Watch for more stories like this in the months to come. People who don't get what they expected to get will get angry.
