I don't want to make civic arguments about history. I don't want to make instrumentalist arguments about history. I want engineers to understand my discipline is rigorous too and if not I want to be able to make fun of them forever because no historian ever built a bridge that broke in the wind.

My main takeaway from the Lindsay Clancy case is that there is no good reason to televise criminal trials and anyone arguing in favour should be viewed as suspect

In one of Carrs books he told the story of a man who went out for some smokes at 1130 at night and was struck by a car. The car had recently brake work done that was incorrect. It was dark out and a blind curve. The driver had drank earlier in the evening but not for several hours.

I realize my response to this was a bit short on information as I see it. Basically I concur that Trump has degraded the US military and is doing real harm, especially in the realm of changes for political purposes and aesthetics (e.g. the obsession with Low T, changing ship designs, bad stuff) 1/*

I have a picture of the BHR at the end of the 05 deployment where it looks like King Kong sat on the flight deck and took a shit over the side. Deployments are always rough on ships and this deployment was tougher than most.

Between October 2025 and July 2026, the U.S. accepted 10,258 refugees. All but three (3!) were white South Africans. Regardless of your opinion of South Africa's laws and government, I don't know how you could call this anything other than an explicitly racist policy.
