One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.
Text card: Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. #OnTyranny

In a generation, when young historians ask you how you handled this moment, or what you did within this era, will you have to lie to them to have the appearance of being on the right side of history? I ask myself this question often to keep my mind clear in times of bitterness and strife.

New blog post! Are we like the spectators who showed up to witness the Battle of First Manassas when we consume conflict visuals online? Maybe! Consider subscribing to my blog that follows my research path into conflict and how we consume information about it.

A Modern Manassas: Viewing Battle through Digital Means
Captain John Tidball couldn’t believe his eyes when he stood with his battery at Centreville, Virginia in July 1861.

Out of the country for a week and it really is stunning how much more people in other countries know about what’s going on in the U.S. right now than the average American does.

Unfiltered media coverage—and the urgency it can convey—matters.

I think it's really cute that a government official thinks that any history is "settled" and "final" just by tweeting about it. Bless your heart.
tweet from the account "Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar." The text reads: “Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled.” Below the tweet text is a paused video showing Pete Hegseth in a suit and tie speaking against a backdrop featuring the U.S. flag and two large Medal of Honor insignias.

IR Book of the Week!

"AI, Automation, and War" by Anthony King. Rather than heading towards a future of "robot armies", this book shows how AI will be used like other military technological innovations: to improve the lethality of human armies.
