Battle of Little Bighorn (1876) - Novo General Megathread for the 25th of June to 2nd of July 2026
(hexbear.net)
Death of Custer, scene by Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show performers c. 1905 of Sitting Bull's stabbing Custer, with dead Native Americans lying on ground
On June 25, 1876, at the Battle of the Greasy Grass (Battle of Little Big Horn) Lakota, Arikara, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho defended Sioux and Cheyenne families living in south central Montana in a battle with the Seventh Regiment of the United States Cavalry.
As explained in An Indigenous Peoplesβ History of the United States for Young People by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, adapted by Debbie Reese and Jean Mendoza:
In June 1876, a large encampment of nontreaty Sioux and Cheyenne families was gathered along the Little Bighorn River. Later that month, Custer and the Seventh Cavalry prepared to attack the encampment, but warriors led by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull successfully intercepted them. Most textbooks call this the Battle of the Little Bighorn, but Lakota and Cheyenne people, especially those whose ancestors defended the encampment villages, know it as the Battle of the Greasy Grass.
Sioux chief Sitting Bull and Lakota leader Crazy Horse directed their warriors against Lieutenant George Armstrong Custerβs regiment of over 225 cavalry men near the Little Bighorn River. Custer and his men died in the battle, and the united tribes claimed victory over the U.S. military that week.
But the victory against the United States was short-lived. Crazy Horse died in 1877 in U.S. military custody, as that government worked steadily to disarm the nations of the western plains and force their people onto reservations. Sitting Bull lived another 14 years and was murdered at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation by an Indian Agent. He was targeted for his political power and his participation in the anti-imperialist spiritual movement, Ghost Dance.
Marble markers for the Seventh Cavalry were erected in 1890, but it was not until Memorial Day of 1999 that red granite markers were added to the historic site to honor the memory of the Lakota, Sioux, Arikara, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho who died the week of the Battle of Greasy Grass.

Where art thou chilling for the summer homie?
It's an incredibly funny bit for the Red Sox to have the worst season in their history and be one of the worst teams in baseball and still beat the Yankees three times in a row. 
I guess my dad's a tree nerd
he came over today with a chainsaw to help me trim this big bush/small tree/whatev in the yard because the lower branches were making it hard to mow around it and anyway he kept going on about how it's a Crape Myrtle and how it's gotta be so old because of the size of the main trunk, and how it has to really like the growing conditions in the yard because of that, etc.
it was kinda nice, I like interacting with my parents when none of the opinions driven into them by right wing media become apparent, rare as those moments are
Okay if you're like me and kept trying to propagate cuttings but nothing put out roots before rotting maybe ignore all advice about keeping it out of direct light because I put them under a grow lamp and wow my basil cuttings are finally doing it
You ever rub em around in rooting powder?
Is that's what Australians call coke?
no because the rooting powder is supposed to be for in-ground use only (also I think for some reason it's not supposed to be used for food/herbs?) and idk I figured basil would do better just sitting in water since it's already so prone to rotting i can't imagine threading the fine line between enough humidity to keep it alive without killing it in dirt would be easy
but maybe I'm also wrong and it's just as easy as putting a dome over them. I found a little pine tree thing growing out of the fuckin' siding of my house and its root got a little messed up so I rooting hormone'd that and put half a soda bottle over it as a dome and tbh it stays pretty moisssst without me having to worry about it
I need to try again with the ghost pepper I've got growing, it'd be cool if I could keep clones of everything going over the winter under grow lights and have shit ready to go next April
i was on a wiki hole on 19th century fortifications and it occured to me how stupid the forts on australia were, i assumed none had ever been the site of a shot fired in anger (they're all on the coast so it doesn't seem like theyd be used against indigenous people)
then i find out about the Batavia and how the very first european "structure" in australia is a rickety heap of rocks they call a fort where some dutch dudes got attacked by evil lord of the flies dutch dudes. there should be a fuckin movie about this shit.
David Byrne should put on a cowboy hat and investigate America's current Celebration of Specialness
How can people get damsel flies and dragonflies mixed up? The look completely different!
Long bug with colorful wings
They're both odonates!
For planes that have to go up very quickly but nobody knows when until it happens, what's the usual arrangement? Do you have a pilot in the cockpit staying alert by sheer force of will, can the pilot nap, if the pilot can stay in a real room with a mattress and pillow, what's the timeframe for getting up in the air and how long are the shifts?
Just like being on call at any other job and ex: firefighters. Seems like ~3 minutes is the expectation to be in the air from notification of emergency
would it be cool if i model my characters in blender and have them fully rigged and everything?
i actually dunno, i think it'd be cool but takes a ton of time that i already don't have
Not having time to do cool shit is one of my least favourite things about working
Creepypasta people kinda had it coming imo, I've been told ominous things by my parents like don't answer the door past midnight and that shit easy af. These MFS be all "I've invited a great evil into my home π" yeah that's what happens when you answer unwanted solicitors just do what the rest of us do and pretend you're not home π
But fr I've heard weird shit before and a simple "fuck off" yelled through the window has warded off evil more than once from my home.
I dont want to be this kind of animal cracker anymore
Kevin Feige: noo people thought endgame was the final movie no one likes marvel anymore nooo
Rivals gooners:
FINALLY my habit of keeping the screws from everything I take apart just in case they fit something else has come in clutch when it really mattered. I'll have this 3d printer back up and whirring again in no time
I lost the screw keeping the shroud on my huge industrial fan but i found a screw outside in the mud that turns out it fit
life really do find a way
But want are you using to keep your mud in place now that you took it's screw away?
that was going to be the irish moss's job but i don't think it likes living in a little hole that gets a glimpse of sunlight for 27 minutes a day and also turns out to be right where all the water runs off the carport roof
Porting "Bug Blaster" over to my new "v2" architecture, first of five such ports and it only took a single day! The previous version of this game relies on a single god component that controls the whole game flow, but now it's entirely made from reusable data driven components, 95% of which are the same ones from "Bug Blaster 2" (the new ones are the stationary starfield effect and the simplified movement director)
They declare it by discharge is one of the greatest political polemics ever:
They have the right what fuckin' right? To say I must fight in their fuckin' wars They declare it!
Why should I fight in their fuckin' wars? When they don't consult my views of war? They declare it!
Why should I fight in their fuckin' wars? Why should I do their killing and be killed? They declare it!
It's nothing to them if I were dead or alive All they want is death or glory They declare it!
They! They! They declare it! War! War! War!
Really makes you think
This is actually one of their more verbose songs. An entire subgenre of punk came from imitating them fairly precisely and theyre also the reason Metallica doesnt sound like Iron maiden, one of the most influential bands ever. This is from their first ep, they would get better at writing and also more minimalistic over time until.beckming absolute garbage really suddenly aroind 84 when they tried to be motley crue. The simple lyrics and song structure thst doesn't change is very extreme on Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing and it almost comes off like haikus

So I've been watching wc games on footybite streams, which for some awful reason, has a live chat alongside all the virus ads. Every time I've ever loaded a game, the chat is full of the most virulent 
actual stormfront, A. Wyatt Mann style posts. It's never not been racist. They don't even talk about soccer. Just wild to me there's an active group of people out there screaming their extremist opinions into one tiny little void of the Internet 
I swear, if there were a video of a DPRK resident drinking Pepsi, there would be a whole bunch of comments that say "If he drinks Coke, he and his whole family will get shot and killed."
There was a clip you maybe also saw where a bunch of soldiers are cheering, then Kim Jong Un turns toward them, one snaps to attention, Kim takes his hat off and puts it on his own head, then they all start cheering again. Every single comment was like "the fear in his eyes..." when they're literally all still smiling and cheering because their leader was goofing off with them.
Update on my chef being a braindead slob especially lately: I guess he's off next week. I didnt know that until after he left today. I gues Monday and Tuesday mornings are the new guy and a long time dishwasher whoncsn handle the stuff he doesn't refuse to do. Neither of them csn stretch s pizza dough. The sous chef and I hafe both of those days off still, the schedule is set up to make the place need to close until 4 or it'll crash ans burn. I gotta convince the sous chef, whomis my longtime work pal to work his schedule as well. Seems like its gonns be essy cause we are both at the end of our fuses with thst guy and sre happy to see it blow up in his face. It isnt our job to come in on our weekend cause he didn't train someone. He even stopped us from teaching him pizza stuff. I feel really bad for the new guy though, he's gonna have a couple reallt bad days. He's like 2 weeks in, making pizza to rhe stsndard we have now legit takes months. Our retention rate is super good for a kitchen and everyone else has like 4 years minimum doing this and the standards have raised with the genersl skill level. He heard about this situation while we were seeing if there was a way to swap anyone else in without fucking up people's days off and seemed game to just go for it. I love that. So if he's comfortable working a disaster he cant be held accountable for cause if work politics that hes new to, he gets a big trust gain and a bit of work debt. Im off Monday and Tuesday snd Wednesday is a Canada holiday so paid day off, im NOT coming in. Especially cause my boss is taking a week off.
If you called out to the Orks and asked for a melee only fight theyβd be down
AINT NO FEEBLE BASTARD NO FUCKING SCAPEGOAT
and then the bass is like buh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh
Discharge is the best band
Discharge and D-Beat 4 life

Hes fetterman but I can be a better man
I hope Iran wins against Egypt tonight, then knocks the US out in the Round of 16.
Never quite got using beans on toast as an insult to the British, like whatβs not to love?
Gotta dunk on em for the bread sandwich
My parents have just informed me, that my Aunt, who sucks, is having a birthday party on September 12th for her 80th birthday. Her birthday is in February. Im glad I dont need to go cause I would be full Larry David about having a birthday party 4 months early. That isnt permitted. Is she trying to double her gifts this year?
Jokes on her, now sheβll get one gift for both her birthday and 9/11
This lady is wack. She is old and homophobic but like...it's super weird thst she is cause she is also like...a cis woman who has the irl personality of an older drag queen's stage personality, which sounds based and cool but isnt. She's homophobic but is basically Liza Minelli and Miss Piggy combined with Lucille Bluth. The Lucille Bluth aspect ruins the rest. I would say Lucille 2 cause she was Liza Minelli, but Lucille 2 was way cooler. The other thing is. She is NOT RICH. They make good money but her and my uncle have gone bankrupt twice, he had a mid level office gig with Siemans, they didnt have kids. They own an end table made of a legit elephant leg. They have a grand piano and neither can play. Gatsby's without the money. At any family thing or whatever they never host, they bring a store bought pie for food if anything and dont offer to help at all. I only show up for christmas now and spend most of my time in the kitchen with my parents shit talking these freaks under our breaths and taking turns going out and dealing with them. The other uncle moved his family out to buttfuck nowhere and isolated the shit out of my cousins, so one had 3 kids before age 21 and 2 miscarriages as well. The other owns the hentai hoodie and is a gamer. He got divorced pretty soon after moving snd married and early Disney adult, he quotes family guy as jokes. The people who's company i enjoyed are dead and im just there to help my parents through. They know and appreciate it, those guys are cool. We play Nintendo games together and drink rum when I visit and I teach them vegan recipes while cooking for em. I think they've kinda become more like me over the years and have gotten steadily more annoyed by my basic ass family over the years. I can remember my dad drunkenly saying how much smarter I was than my cousins to my uncle when they thought I was asleep as a kid. "THERE IS A HUGE INTELLECTUAL DIFFERENCE!" is something I recall being said. My parents rock, the rest of my family are lame af
