The Falklands are pretty much the only conflict ever where the British are 100% unambiguously correct with zero nuance whatsoever. The Argentine argument is literally just “gib.”

I had forgotten about this book. I had a blue version when I was younger. I decided to pick up a new one .

The intelligent, sober-minded, and conscientious criminal is a cliché at the heart of so many fun movies that I sometimes wonder if people realize it’s totally fake and in the real world crime is almost all dumb guys with poor impulse control.

Happy Sunday, friends!
Looking for a Jesus-centered message?
Here’s what I shared last week:
What if we were Jesus's EPCOT Church?
(Jesus's Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow beginning today!)
The EPCOT Church - Acts 4:31-35

"I will tell of the LORD's unfailing love. I will praise the LORD for all he has done. I will rejoice in his great goodness to Israel, which he has granted according to his mercy and love."

In this abbey in France, nuns have been restoring old books for over 70 years.
The Benedictine sisters of Maumont Abbey run a full workshop and their craft is bookbinding, gilding and restoration. Centuries-old books arrive damaged, torn and crumbling, and they restore them all by hand to last another hundred years.

Houdini died in Detroit on Halloween 1926, a week after doing a show there with a fever of 104. Our May-June-July 1924 issue ran his "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs," ghostwritten by horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, who lost the typescript on his way to his wedding. #weirdtober

The United Arab List (Ra’am) has reportedly said Gadi Eisenkot’s four conditions for joining a government are acceptable.
If true, the Muslim Pragmatists are going to declare Hamas a terrorist group which must be disarmed and commit to passing mandatory service for Jews and Arabs.

This week on the blog! We're finishing our Hearts of Iron IV series, focused on strategic ends and the place of modding in the game.
In the end, I think there is a bitter irony that Paradox's least historically responsible game is their most successful.

How the hell did this Administration allow a 28-year-old DOGE operative with zero government experience to take over USAID, fire thousands of federal employees, and shut down lifesaving aid programs around the world?
Not to mention that HR had zero record of him working there, he never completed his background paperwork to legally start working for the agency, and he didn’t even have an ID badge, because, officially, he didn’t exist as an employee.
And yet, all on his own, this man was given the go ahead to lock staff out of their own systems and use your taxpayer dollars to gut lifesaving programs with zero transparency.
The Trump Administration owes the American people and Congress answers. Who signed off on this? Why on earth was he given this kind of power?
This wasn’t an accident. Someone handed this man unchecked power, someone knew he wasn’t legally authorized to use it, and someone decided that there was nothing wrong with that.
Well, everything is wrong with that. Congress needs answers about this, and that is NOT optional.

I wrote about the Mao/Mbappe drama, why Chinese social media creates these kinds of frenzies, and how translation doesn't mean that we actually understand other cultures:

For the first time in American history, a judge has had to order the President of the United States to stop threatening election officials. Nixon did far less and was forced to resign. So this is where the American political system is now.
