The revision historians from the 1960s to the 1990s never actually taught much history, well, much good history, anyway, but they succeeded in “revealing the blemishes” behind our “great people.” It is almost always easier to destroy than to construct and if going beyond the blemishes wasn’t enough they weren’t above doing a bit of scraping and marring and cutting up on their own. People who learned from those folks are in the inevitable “positions of power” now. Sad to say, they knew nothing then and they seem to know even less now and the ignorance they drank in then is revealed in its full stupidity today, as we are up to our hips in anti-fascists who have no idea what a fascist is; people who believe the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 was the first “antifa rally,” advocates of socialism who could not last a week in true socialist state; advocates of freedom of speech and press and assembly – for everyone who agrees with them; if not, you will be shouted down, bullied, harassed, asked to leave your job or canceled in some way. by Lilly Kofler

To navigate awkward social settings during the pandemic, act like a toddler. No, I don’t mean throwing a fit because you won’t buy yourself popsicles. When I suggest acting like a toddler to navigate awkward social situations, I’m referencing research that shows how well-suited preschool-age children are to this uncertain era and how badly our adult brains are conditioned to it. by Tom Purcell
I can’t recall the last time I wrote or received a handwritten letter – but it’s time to send such letters again. The reasons why the handwritten letter died are obvious: e-mail, text messaging and cellphones. With how quick those innovations make whipping off a note, why would anybody take an hour to hand-write one? But how much better off might we be if we started sending such letters again? I’ve kept every handwritten letter I ever got, in boxes in my attic. One Saturday in 2000, when I was moving from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C., organizing and storing stuff soured my mood, Until I stumbled upon a handwritten letter I’d received in 1985. Inducted
