I urge our historic allies to stop pretending we're competent internationally. Let alone hold our historical values & motives. The only way to limit the damage is to treat all official actions as if they are offered in bad-faith & personal self-interest.

May be a rare DNF for me. It gets bonus points for butchery of the source mythology w/ which I am, unfortunately, moderately familiar. #BookSky #audiobooks22 Aug 2026 04:54 +0000at://did:plc:plnz2hfs6eua3dzzq3jgbhdk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtniaqsw5c2chttps://bsky.app/profile/vinr-mims.bsky.social/post/3mtkp3qtj6k2iCome see me talk at the Eastern Shawnee History Summit.

Editors (even coauthors) may regret this mood. Thousands of words over target length, what's a few (dozen) more? The rhythm is better, I think.
