I don’t know about you, but I follow dozens of historians on Twitter. They’re more grounded in reality than pundits. Some (historians) are dry and deliver the facts as the unvarnished facts history gives us. No distortions, no interpretations. Just facts. Others present things with a dash of personality.
IMHO, on Twitter Michael Beschloss lets loose. It’s been my experience that he has two or three gems a day. Amongst all the noise that is Twitter they can be easy to miss. Look for them. We can all use a laugh or a chuckle. History with a twist of humor is a load lightener.
Some of his best humor are ones where you may not be sure if he’s just delivering facts or a humorous dig. Either way you’ll get a laugh.

History repeats. Or at least rhymes.
Others recognize the humor and shade @BeschlossDC provides.
If you’re on Twitter and don’t follow Beschloss, you should.
