Today marks 100 years since the birth of the late Queen, who I will be eternally grateful to for the access to her private family papers she gave me. Even if you dislike the institution, you can respect that she worked hard to serve to the very end.
Breaking (yet unsurprising) news. Failed to walk past French bookshops. Again.

It’s Commando day today! Disclaimer, I will mention the French. A lot. @istoriatravel.bsky.social #SwordBeach #WW2
One day I will regret a drunken book purchase. That day is not today 📚

Black and white photo of Ludendorff in uniform with a chestful of medal. Wearing the distinctive Pickelhaube helmet. With the Armistice he fled to Sweden. A checkered career after the war. He joined Hitler's Munich Putsch, served in the Reichstag, ran for President as the first Nazi candidate, then broke with Hitler and retired from public life to write on military theory.
We’re all set to leave for the first @istoriatravel.bsky.social tour of the year bright and early tomorrow. Goodbye Portsmouth, hello Normandy #DDay @seaspitfires.com
It’s raining #WW2 books. Oops. 📚

Looking, again, for a steelman view of this. Is there ANY plausible argument that we didn’t just kill a bunch of people to no purpose and hand a giant geopolitical victory to an extremist regime after making it more entrenched and more extreme?
If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order.

Was the point of Trump’s speech tonight to show the nation how badly he’s deteriorated with more slurred, low energy, incoherent, nonsensical rambling?
If so, mission accomplished.
