If you're only familiar with Fly Like an Eagle and The Joker and not Steve Miller Band's early psych rock albums, you're sorely missing out

My biggest Civil War hot take is that the defense of Little Round Top wasn't all that important to Union victory at Gettysburg, and that the U.S. artillery saved the day on July 2
Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 5d agoMy own civil war hot take is Grant’s Vicksburg campaign from March-July 1863 remains the most well executed campaign in American military history
As a Civil War historian, I take offense to this post
madeline odent@oldenoughtosay.com · 6d agoa reference to ‘the civil war’ does not, absent other context, automatically mean yours
Well the pouring rain and wind wasn't fun, but Sierra Ferrell was awesome at Red Rocks last night.
I'm not ashamed to tell you all how much I love Colorado marmots
Interesting local factoid of the day: On this day in 1893, schoolteacher and poet Katharine Lee Bates wrote what would later become “America the Beautiful” after climbing to the top of Pikes Peak (known to the Utes as Tava, or "Sun Mountain")
I learned on a manual, and owned them until I was in my 30s. I still miss them sometimes, but I just love EVs more.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last mo.Driving a manual vehicle is a lost art. Hopes of a revival have fallen flat. With the rise of EVs and autonomous vehicles, only a few die-hards are holding on.
Share a history book that changed your life (this got me into military history in the 3rd grade)

Go EV and you'll never want to drive a gas dinosaur again.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last mo.The ongoing Iran war and high U.S. gas prices have some drivers rethinking whether it’s time to give up their gas cars. See how much you would be spending if you drove an electric vehicle here:
It's more of a "Freeman McGilvery and the Army of the Potomac artillery helps save the Union" day in this household
Angry Staff Officer@pptsapper.bsky.social · 2mo agoHappy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate
Ooohh this is fun. Sierra Ferrell Alison Kraus Billy Strings Sturgill Simpson
emily@emilysue.bsky.social · 2mo agomy concerts through the rest of the year: Noah Kahan JRAD Charley Crockett Phoebe Bridgers Sturgill Simpson Grateful Shred Goose x 2 Goosemas (?) would love to do Phish Dick’s but idk if i wanna go through the trouble of flying out to CO. we’ll see.
Just because, here are some pictures I took today from and of Colorado 13ers in James Peak Wilderness
Still can't believe I got to see Molly Tuttle in such an intimate venue last week. She's a true guitar goddess.
My article "'Soldiers Were Apt to Get Drunk Whenever They Got a Chance': The Control of Alcohol in Wartime Washington, DC, 1861-1865" is out in the December 2025 Journal of the Civil War Era! I'm really excited to see this in print - I started researching it more than five years ago.
It may just be a government pub but very excited to finally have my first book in hand! (Albeit a year after I left the job)
These lyrics hit hard 9 years after Sturgill wrote them All 2 busy looking down at our phone/Our ego’s begging for food like a dog from our feed/Refreshing obsessively until our eyes start to bleed/They serve up distractions and we eat them with fries/Until the bombs fall out of our fucking skies
I'm left handed and even I hate watching lefty QBs. It just looks weird.
Sturgill played a full 3 hours 45 minutes of nonstop music for his final show of the year at Red Rocks last night. Wowza we got our money's worth
Approved by Congress. Also known as a federal law.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 12mo agoPresident Trump signed an order authorizing the Department of Defense and the secretary of defense to be called the Department of War and the secretary of war. It is unclear how the change will be formalized given that the earlier names were approved by Congress. www.nytimes.com/article/trum...
Another failure of the media to stand up to the moment.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 12mo agoI feel like I’m taking crazy pills, why is every single outlet characterizing it this way?
