My wife and I just finished a full rewatch of Last Man on Earth, by Will Forte. It only got 4 seasons on Fox before being canceled (as they do with anything good), but is incredibly funny and weird. I highly recommend it if you want something off beat about the end of the world but with heart. Warning: Will Forte is the best and worst thing about the show; you have to deal with an extreme level of annoying/dad jokes to get the real gold, but it’s worth it. ---

 We’ve been watching that with keen interest ourselves; I find it poignant, but chilling to the core. **#SkyNet_IS_Coming** ---

> [@Racing\_Stripes](#): > > I’ve been watching “Mr. Bates vs the Post Office” on PBS. I first encountered Toby Jones in an episode of Doctor Who. He played a character called the Dream Lord. It was one of the scariest, most haunting, episodes from the Doctor Who franchise. And his appearance in The Hunger Games was just as sinister. I haven’t watched “Mr Bates vs the Post Office” because I feared it would be a repeat performance as the bad guy. Maybe I’m wrong??? ---

He’s also a “good guy” in The Detectorists. Whether or not you would enjoy him in that series all depends on how much you like rather dry and really quirky British humour. ---

Just started watching “The Acolyte”, the new Star Wars series. We finished ep 2 tonight; so far, we’re both loving it. Really draws you in well. And since it’s set 100 years before the prequels, I don’t think there is any back story you need to know before watching. Definitely recommend (despite the reviews). Of course, that could all change after another episode or two

A funny thing about watching The Acolyte. I watch everything through streaming, and have for years. It’s been so long since I’ve watched live TV, or even anything current, that it caught me completely off-guard to find that I have to wait a week for the next episode! ---

The only sport that Nisha and I follow with any regularity is beach volleyball. I was watching replays from the latest World Tour event, which was in Ostrava, Czechia. The games go all over the world, but there is consistency in some of the announcements and crowd responses; for a big spike, the loudspeakers will play (in English, regardless of where they’re playing) “Here comes the BOOM! Here comes the BOOM! Here comes the BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!” There are often graphics played on the boards surrounding the stadium. So I now know that in Czech, the word we spell “Boom” is spelled “BUM”. I still have enough immaturity left to find “Here comes the BUM! BUM! BUM!” rather amusing. 😉 ---

We’re almost done with Season 24 of Doctor Who, the last Doctor Who season available on Tubi. Gonna have to find a new binge watch. The pay-per-view TV service we subscribed to for 10(?) years was bought out ~6 months ago. The new owners have changed prices and policy several times since then. We’re waiting for the dust to settle before signing up again. ---

Was watching the Olympics this afternoon(Sat) and NBC, prior to some of the rowing events, suddenly screened a documentary, “In the Company of Heroes” about 45 surviving veterans who had fought on D-day. These vets, mid-to upper 90’s and at least one who was 100, had been flown over to France the week of the 75th Anniversary of D-day through the good offices of Delta Airlines and a non-profit, started by ex-NFL player, Donnie Edwards. One, from Louisiana, spoke Cajun-French in his home as a child and could speak to (and understand) French soldiers and students. Impressed me that the French kids actually knew their history, unlike American students who could care less about anything but the present or have been taught the US is a oppressive imperialist power. Course, those French students live near all the American cemeteries in Normandy-and the sheer number of graves would make an impression. Before he left for France, one of the vets was asked by a descendent: “Were you a hero in World War II?” The man answered, “No, but I was in a company of heroes.” ---

> [@TEXASEXILEBOOKS](#): > > actually knew their history, unlike American students who could care less about anything but the present I grew up in the south. When we had American history, the course mainly went from one war to the next, with little taught about what happened in between. But since we were in the south, so much of the year was spent covering the Civil War that WWI and WWII were crammed into the last few weeks of the school year, and we never even got to discuss Korea or anything later. I’ve learned a lot more in the last 10 years or so from TV than I ever learned in school. ---

I will add a personal note about the Civil War. My mother’s side of the family is from Georgia, and there is still a lot of family living on land that has been held for generations. Once while visiting my grandparents, I was walking in the woods, and saw the long mounds, about a foot high or so, running for hundreds of yards. I asked my cousin about them, and he explained that they used to be higher, and were the bunkers that the Confederates hid behind while defending against Sherman’s March. I later learned that Sherman actually made camp on my GGG-grandparent’s farm; didn’t burn down the house, but took all the food and horses. ---

The United States has enjoyed the benefit of an awful lot of awfully-good military commanders - perhaps e`en more than **any** _other_ polity in Recorded Human History, by @ least some measures - but AFAIC, William Tecumseh Sherman ranks with the very best of them, here or elsewhere. That being said, I, too hail from The South, and am old enough to remember when the children of my great-grandparents, in their middle age, endeavoured to pass on knowledge to we young’uns of Sherman’s ‘March to the Sea’ campaign, and the subsequent advance through The Carolinas - which, in many instances, beginning years before the Chattanooga campaign’s deadlock was so-skillfully broken - were witnessed at first hand by _their_ own parents, as in one fashion or another we’ve been in this neck o’ woods since the 16th Century\*. There’s a reason why I SO- **greatly** admire General Sherman’s talents as a military commander, yet still think of him in the same terms as did my ancestors: Billy the Torch. **“It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it!”** - attributed to a conversation between General James Longstreet and General Robert Edward Lee, 13Dec1862, while overseeing the bloody Battle of Fredericksburg
 * * * > **\*** > > Although my paternal family antecedents in These United States were not established _permanently_ until the 17th Century (in both the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Colony of Virginia, albeit by different ‘distaff’ sons of the Shropshire patrilineal line), reputable peer-reviewed-published historians largely tend to agree that our genealogy supports what’s recorded - mainly, in Family Bible “family register” frontispieces, albeit there are also still extant various personal diaries produced across a broad swath of generations - as family lore re: Sir Walter Raleigh’s colonization attempts in the 16th. ---

I’m a 5th-generation Texan-and the part I’m from was slave-owning-the areas that grew rice or cotton from the coastal area that became Houston/Galveston/Beaumont through East Texas(Tyler) to Central Texas (San Antonio) unfortunately were slave owning areas. Mostly, North and West Texas luckily escaped the scourge. With that in mind, we barely skimmed the Civil War in school, other than who lost and won! What I know is from independent reading, having been dragged to educational Civil War Spots by my parents(45 minutes away from my childhood home, ■■■■ Dowling drove off the Union Navy w/ 46 drunk, at least very tipsy, artillerymen). My kids in AZ public schools(Tucson was a Confederate stronghold-the reason it is no longer the AZ capital) did a whole 6 weeks on the conflict w/ power-points; reports and reading/ watching the movies: Gettysburg (based on the Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer-Prize novel) and Gods and Generals, adapted from his son, Jeff Shaara’s, novel, Gods and Generals. . My generation DID take a year of TEXAS HISTORY. If one is accepted to a Texas State-Funded University from out-of-state, have to take TEXAS HISTORY before one is enrolled. One reason a son didn’t attend pharmacy school in Texas!! He said he’d already visited the Alamo 3 times, San Jacinto twice, explored the USS TEXAS and been taken against his will to Huntsville, TX and learned everything about Sam Houston there was to know, including seeing his grave-site. I can pass any test on the subject, he said, Travis, Bowie, Juan Sequin are like my brothers but don’t make me take TEXAS HISTORY. The registrar wasn’t impressed
