Last Sad Days of the USS NimitzYou Attack Cuba With Aging Carrier You’ve Got
The Nimitz is OLD. Ancient in Navy warfare terms.
The Nimitz was ordered 31 March 1967, its keel laid down 22 June 1968 at Newport News Shipyard, launched 13 May 1972, acquired by the Navy 11 April 1975 and commissioned 3 May 1975.
As of this month the operational life of the Nimitz has spanned 51 years, likely older than most of it crew.

Is Mastodon dead?
As I look through my feed, posts get zero boosts, zero favorites and no responses no matter how many followers the poster supposedly has.
This has been going on for several weeks now.
I thought maybe my account had been restricted for some reasons. But according to my settings and such no, it's fully functioning.
Maybe this platform has gone extinct like its namesake and no one really cares.

No one should be surprised that a prominent Black person would help to re-segregate our nation. Back in the 1870s Martin Robison Delany, the highest ranking officer in the Union Army during the civil war and an outspoken abolitionist, did just that in South Carolina.Delany campaigned for former Confederate general Wade Hampton III for governor who restored white supremacy in South Carolina after a violent election campaign during which 150 Black people were killed. https://theicarian.substack.com/p/martin-robison-delany-an-extraordinary

Sorry, The Original Magna Carta Was A FlopThat Annoying History Again
Much ado was made about the Magna Carta during the recent visit of the current King of England, who had to politely remind the de facto king of America about the rule of law and its hard fought, hard won history.
And the King of England actually used complete sentences and never hard to resort to accordion hands to do so. https://open.substack.com/pub/theicarian/p/sorry-the-original-magna-carta-was
