Short #History #NavalHistory thread on how life mysteriously connects events: When I was a child my great grandmother would talk about how during #WW2 someone was caught here near Wrightsville Beach signaling to a U-boat offshore. I filed it away in the back of my head, and forgot about it.

Happy Birthday US Coast Guard. When the chips are down at sea, there is nobody I would want in my corner more than the Coasties. Truly a self sacrificing service who served on the front lines of many of our nation's conflicts. I sleep easier at night knowing they got Oldest's back if need be.

Dashie@dmdash71.bsky.social · 2d agoJuly slid by and August drifted in, wafted by random currents of hot, gasping air that seemed still even as it moved.

Still funny that my most popular tweet in ten years was a dick joke by a cartoon horse.
“Brother, you’re completely dished. In the service, one must always choose the lesser of two weevils.”

It is far too easy for those in a position of privilege to judge the actions of others through the lens of that privilege, supporting laws and rules the protect it while vilifying those who don't have it. Honor is not to blindly follow rules, but to see them for what they are, and who they benefit.

On this day in 1916, the Italian dreadnought Leonardo Da Vinci explodes, capsizes and sinks in Taranto harbor. The Italians blame Austro-Hungarian saboteurs, but a magazine explosion is a more likely cause. Subsequently raised in 1919 and sold for scrapping in 1923. #NavalHistory

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch Aug. 30, 2026. With a field of view far wider than Hubble’s, it will map billions of galaxies, study dark matter and dark energy, and directly image some exoplanets, opening new frontiers in astronomy. 🔭✨
'It's going to do things that currently are impossible': The Roman Space Telescope, NASA's next great observatory, is ready to launch Aug. 30
