@noduffdispatches.bsky.social Given the new Ken Burns Documentary on the American Revolution what's your thoughts on Nathaniel Greene as a General. He never won a battle yet he's seen as winning the war in the South despite constant defeats. Is that right ?

@martypaul10.bsky.social So I watched the 1st season of Rings of Power. I have to say I didn't think it was very good and won't be watching Season 2. The problem for me was not so much ignoring Tolkien lore but simply the writing just wasn't very good. I didn't care about any of the characters.
