It rained SO MUCH in the Texas Hill Country today. I don't think the rain stopped AT ALL this morning. We were fortunate to find a way to the highway since our normal drive was completely flooded. That being said, some of the water crossings we went through today made me very nervous. I'm very grateful to God we got back to Houston safely (although it took us 2hrs/~40% longer than normal!)

4) That "lake" normally (different vantage point, arrow pointing to the "lake" ); we've seen water here ~2 times in the last 8 years, and never this high!

Journey down propaganda and narrative mediums, found this gem.
🕰️ Historical Context: 1918–1919 Germany
After Germany's defeat in World War I, many Germans were shocked and disillusioned. The idea that the mighty German army had lost on the battlefield was hard to accept. As a result, nationalist and conservative circles promoted the “stab-in-the-back” myth:
🇩🇪 Dolchstoßlegende
The German army didn’t lose the war — it was betrayed by enemies at home, such as:
Jews
Socialists / Communists
Pacifists
Democrats / Weimar politicians
Feminists and intellectuals
This myth absolved the military leadership (e.g., Hindenburg and Ludendorff) of blame and redirected public anger toward political scapegoats.
