motherjones: After he said stuff like “War is hell” and introduced the bed-head hairstyle, General William Tecumseh Sherman appears to have become a lover, not a fighter. According to an 1886 magazine, the retired general’s “specialty is in kissing young women, of which he has probably done more than any living American.” Another account has him telling President Ulysses S. Grant, “You may drive your fast horses and I will kiss all the pretty girls! Ha! ha! that shall be my fad.” For more on American historical figures kissing unsuspecting victims, see here. really can’t resist a sherman’s march joke here

Know what these are?  Go ahead, guess.

Give up? They’re topographical maps of the moon, created in a collaboration between NASA and the US Geological Survey.  I can’t get over how crazy beautiful they are.  There are more here, super hi-res.

The NSA was spending billions of dollars on new collection systems and vast amounts of computer hardware and software, and jamming it into its headquarters, but did not build additional power stations to keep the systems up and running. So you had these embarrassing instances … where if you plugged in a coffee pot, you literally could knock of the electricity for an entire wing at NSA headquarters.
— Historian Matthew Aid details why America’s spies are struggling to keep up. (via nprfreshair)
