Fine, fierce leopard, painted by Maerten de Vos, who died on this day in 1603. With maybe a little idol-worship happening beyond his tail.

"you're wondering why i'm not wearing a three piece suit looking like a million dollars?
it's simple: when i got on my jet this morning and my pilot said we're heading to Indianapolis, it'd be like wearing a tuxedo to a petting zoo.
The penguins may appreciate but you dumb animals never will."

Now that I’ve gone pretty deep on the revolutionary time period, esp re: Vermont, it’s fun to notice when authors leave out drunkenness, which was no small feature of the time period. It does change the perception of a legendary, near-mythic moment, to imagine a bunch of drunk farmers doing it.

4 years to the day since my last cancer diagnosis. I’m a better person for it, but boy did it kick my ass. Thankful for every healthy moment since

Good morning! Gathering for the hunt in front of an inn within the ruins, because that's just how it was in 1650s Italy. Or so we are assured by Jan Miel, whose day is today.

Behold, the Sword of Power! Excalibur! For anyone waiting for things from me, this is why: my brain has been consumed by John Boorman and Excalibur, both of them dear to my heart. The restoration is stunning, and finally presents the film in the right aspect ratio on home video... 🧵1/8

My girlfriend Lydia and I have been trying to listen to all the records in my collection. Last night we added some “now listening” markers so we can see where we left off. We’ve finished reggae and are at “r” in jazz, good progress!

A long lost Tudor Palace, very few traces of it remain. On the foreshore a few timbers of the old Tudor/Stuart jetty, also a gatehouse off Richmond Green. Thought to be Elizabeth I’s favourite palace & where she died on March 24 1603. We have only Wyngaerde’s sketches to show us what it looked like

Great sequence here on the invasion of the Ohio Country &hints at a pan-Native confederacy. Can't remember if mentioned in a previous episode, but Lord Dunmore's War against Ohio Natives had basically just ended when the Rev War breaks out. Rev War is next chapter in the long war for the west #HATM

20 NOVEMBER 1775, LONDON: Richard, Lord Howe, tells the House of Commons that he will accept command of the Royal Navy in America only if ordered to do so: “If commanded his duty was to serve,” but otherwise he’s caught between “his duty as an officer, and his duty as a man.”
