I like to share threads about history (usually military/geopolitical in nature), so I will index them here. I am not a “historian” just a guy who reads a lot.

- The Iliad literally describes Odysseus wearing a kino leather helmet adorned with boar tusks, but Hollywood can never resist the siren song of the generic ancient broom helmet. This helmet is like cocaine to costume designers.First look at Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey', in cinemas July 2026.
- I’m sure withholding reward money through administrative technicalities is a great way to encourage the public to help with future high profile manhunts

Once a noble beast, the tank now looks like an unkempt Pekingese.
Revolutionary Che Guevara was executed on this day in 1967. “The life of a single human being is worth more than all the property of the richest man on earth.”- America was biologically necessary because this specimen was always buried in the European genome, unable to flourish in the cramped confines of the old continent. European exploration can be seen as a biological drive to find the conditions where this beast could emerge.
- You’re telling me that a pope from Argentina died at age 88 on 4/20?
- The sitting President of the United States just withdrew from the election via a screenshot on x dot com without a press conference or any other verification.
