Wacky request, but here goes. I once saw photos of GIANT potatoes during the US Civil War that sutlers sold to soldiers. I can't find said pics anywhere.

Does anyone know where I can find images of those giant potatoes? Not a joke. šŸ—ƒļø

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made ā€œlethalityā€ a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

Had the Defense Department’s harm-reduction plan not been axed by the Trump administration, the policies almost certainly would’ve reduced the number of noncombatants harmed over the past year, current and former officials tell ProPublica.

The 1982 version of the Vietnam Rag changes the punch line to "1-2-3 what are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, next stop is Iran." A gut putch in '82, still a gut punch in 2026. music.apple.com/us/album/i-f...

If only Congress was a coequal branch of government that hadn’t totally abdicated its war powers repeatedly for decades. The only ā€œcheck and balanceā€ against illegal wars of imperialism is American protesters.

Screenshot of a BBC article with text that reads: ā€œI spent 20 minutes writing an article on my personal website titled "The best tech journalists at eating hot dogs". Every word is a lie. I claimed (without evidence) that competitive hot-dog-eating is a popular hobby among tech reporters and based my ranking on the 2026 South Dakota International Hot Dog Championship (which doesn't exist). I ranked myself number one, obviously. Then I listed a few fake reporters and real journalists who gave me permission, including Drew Harwell at the Washington Post and Nicky Woolf, who co-hosts my podcast.
