An Update on History - SOON (Like real soon)

Thank you, Tex! You're a sweetheart. OK, so in 2018 Pink Pistols incorporated into Operation Blazing Sword, which is the 501c3 I created the day after the Pulse nightclub massacre to teach the basics of firearm safety and operation to gun-curious queer people. PP incorporated into OBS because prior to then PP had always been (by design) very loosely organized and OBS was a registered nonprofit nearly immediately. All of this is to explain why I'm linking to a page called Operation Blazing Sword and not Pink Pistols. PP is a division of OBS the same way that the Marines are a department of the Navy. https://www.blazingsword.org/donate/

THE BLACK PANTS LEGION

Don't know if Professor Tex's mech company has a name or not, but Randolf's Roughriders has a nice ring to it.

Tex, Thanks for the shout-out to the Pink Pistols. I've been running the org since 2018 and it's amazing how many people don't know we exist despite being almost 23 years old at this point. Would it be kosher if I linked to our donation page?

Hey Tex and any potential crew that read this, just finished watching your latest creation and am planning on sharing it with as many people as I can if only to show that certain types of people are not a recent development. I look forward to whatever crazy piece of little known history you dig up and compile next. And as for the real Knife Fight City movie possibility, don't threaten us with a good time.

Fucking killed it on the history film. Please pass on my compliments to everyone involved.

Coming in hot from the TTH video, damn, that was good. To be honest, chat was almost as great as the video, your audience is fantastic.. But damn, the production on that was amazing. Loved the 3d work, the animation and the voice work on the senate hearings in particular (seriously, congrats to Digs and the rest, that was great). Writing also felt so well paced I honestly didn't realize it was nearly 90 minutes long until I checked afterwards. Very well done. To all of you. Rating this one 7/7

Writing this one before TTH drops in just over 47 hours. IRL I work in the aviation field (former air traffic control now build airspace procedures) so I’m very fascinated to hear your take on an infamous figure from the early days of aviation. Your comment about Fulda Gap & 7 Days To The Rhine last week made me pick up my copy of “Red Storm Rising” and 11 hours later it was 2AM and my wife was getting irritated that I was still awake reading. Don’t suppose you read much Clancy or other military fiction?

The Christmas Bullet! I've only read about that in that book about the worst airplanes collection! Man, say what you will about the inventer of that death trap, but he was a real smooth talker-getting not one, but two engines off the US army airforce while real inventors were still struggling to take off.

I played through Dragon Age Origins, I enjoyed it, but fuuuuck I laughed everything I heard taint...also in regards to stink lines....I worked with a guy who thought it was okay to shower once a week....given what the job is I dry heaved a little and one day freaked out a bit when I had to take his work vehicle....I scrounged around and asked like 6 people for air fresheners and febreeze....it was a terrible day due to stank. Keep up the great work!

The Mailman

DUDE!! Pratt & Whitney.... that guy??? Screw that.. I will stay with my Mandalorian jet pack.

Awww a Passat. My Russian roommate from boarding school died, bleeding out, on the hood of a Passat in Sochi a whiles back. Lit up with an AK they told me. Oh Russia ... Never change. Anyway, what were we talking about?
