Anyone can write a terrible first draft. Do you have the courage to write a terrible last draft

Did the British Army revive Scottishness?
In case you missed it, check out our Fencibles episode with @RMB_History who discusses how Scots enlistment in the military allowed them to embrace their national identity albeit in a controlled environment.

Yes, we absolutely can push our meeting to sometime after the new year, or mid-March, or 2027, or never

In shocking development, students who consistently skip class all semester perform poorly on the final exam.

When writing, I recommend the 20-20 rule: 20 minutes of writing followed by 20 weeks doing new, unrelated projects you won't finish

London. A meaningful and warm meeting with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer.
During our talks, we discussed the challenges facing Ukraine and all of Europe, coordination with partners, concrete steps to strengthen Ukraine’s position, and ending the war with a just peace, along with robust security guarantees.
A principled statement of support from the Prime Minister and an important decision: today, in our presence, Ukraine and the United Kingdom signed a Loan Agreement. This loan will enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities and will be repaid using revenues from frozen Russian assets. The funds will be directed toward weapons production in Ukraine. This is true justice – the one who started the war must be the one to pay.
I thank the people and government of the United Kingdom for their tremendous support from the very beginning of this war. We are happy to have such strategic partners and to share the same vision of what a secure future should look like for all.

One of the last panels in our 2025 Conference, now only weeks away, considers understandings of leadership & motivations in the years before, during, and after the #FWW. After all, what makes people actually fight, and what keeps them in the fight, is essential to military life.

@Hindu_Stan will begin by considering how the British army's successes & failures were received in the UK; @AngersSeverine will examine how one poet was influenced by her soldier brothers' letters; and @SimonQuinn1789 shows what soldiers campaigning in Egypt thought of antiques!
