Very excited to embark on this project! Without getting too far into the weeds just yet, it's going to be a history of American naval aviation in the Pacific (hence all the posting lately) during World War II from 1943 to 1945, told through the pilots and squadrons who flew off the carriers!

Simply follow who Brighton are interested in and buy them instead of dropping 80 million pounds on a PL winger who has scored 7 goals in 2 seasons

@sodrock.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:15 PM

This is also more evidence for my thesis that if you’re spending more than 80 million euros/pounds on a player you’re doing something wrong

@sodrock.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:04 PM

Just a poorly constructed side with a very overrated manager imo

@sodrock.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:01 PM

All right this is getting out of hand

Yes people I know about orange man but the laws of politics do not apply to him (yet)

I think winning a Texas senate seat and or governor and signaling the state as more purplish would basically render GOP presidential ambitions dead so I think the stakes are that high. Alabama in 2017 always felt like a mirage

@sodrock.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 5:38 PM

In terms of pure bad, it’s still Roy Moore or Mark Robinson, but I also don’t think those specific races had the stakes that a Texas Senate seat has after the way the GOP has dominated the state the last quarter century

In terms of importance and broader political impact it can have, Paxton is definitely the worst canidate for a federal office in the 21st century and I don’t think it’s particularly close

@sodrock.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 5:33 PM

I definitely do think there is a number of shy embarrassed Paxton voters lurking around but I also don’t think there are enough to get him over the finish line

*special military operation*

@sodrock.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 12:32 AM

Whatever it takes…I guess

But bizarre all these PMC’s are running around the Congo and shooting at each other (allegedly)

@sodrock.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 5:23 PM

For me, it’s good to read outside of military history because sometimes you just miss the phenomenal work other scholars are doing in other areas

@sodrock.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 5:18 PM

Ripped through this in a week. Very harrowing read, definitely Pulitzer worthy

The two wolves inside me

Some of these quotes are too delicious: “I think the scary part is we don’t know where the bottom is” “The environment has a lot people scared to death” “People that are in R+10 districts are showing [polling that] they’re tied and they’re saying, ‘I need help’”

@sodrock.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:51 PM

I will be dialed into PA-1, KY-6, and FL-27, I think those will be an early barometer
