"Secondhand thinkers" is the appropriate term for these people instead of "AI Natives"

Years of underfunding and inflation means that when we do fund stuff at current prices there is definitely sticker shock at the jump. www.airandspaceforces.com/house-approp...

Tired: Russian tank turrets being blown into the sky Wired: Russian oil refinery roofs being blown into the sky

Spectacular explosion in the Kapotnya refinery in Moscow, Russia. This silo not only exploded but also catapulted the roof of the building into the air.

"Why are they even bombing us? Where is the air defense?" The day of rhetorical questions for Moscow residents.

The Navy right now:

A toast to our fallen Airmen, a group of highly skilled aviators that advanced aviation every time they left the ground. Prayers for the families who are missing their loved ones tonight. 🍺

can we just hurry up and speedrun this so y'all can move on to whatever the next topic du jour is and you can let the professionals get back to work

Happy Strait of Hormuz Opening Anchored for Simplicity Day to those who celebrate.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

I see that Wall Street is still flush with the good drugs because that's the only logical explanation for this statement.

“[Iran] can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent” ~Keynes the Wall Street wonks think Iran will bow to inventory pressures?? dummies.

how do they just keep getting worse at this

I think the Jets would benefit from intelligence regardless of its source.

NY Strips on the smoker in three parts

This is what defines a professional military—not bullshit about “lethality” or “meat eaters” or jerking off to kill cams, but some unnamed enlisted person who day after day made sure the ejection seat they were responsible for met the standard so that when it mattered, it worked.

My bachelor’s degree in a nutshell. 😆

Love everything about this. I look forward to the Butlerian Jihad against the incessant AI invasion into daily life.

It’s turns out that you can get ok grades in multivariable calculus at an Ivy League school and also be very dumb.

I’m in a chat with a bunch of USAF dudes, and probably my first comment after Iran kicked off was, “y’all should at least start doing SHORAD for your airfields.”

Sigh

forbesmm.bsky.social's Sisyphean task of explaining COMREL on this app will always be entertaining.

They think you're stupid.

Dudesrock. There will always be something cool about people taking old tech into the air and doing something really dangerous and awesome.

Let's look at the Army's FY26 budget request on a missile that takes 3.5 years to build.

I grew up on a farm where we regularly had to fix our own tractors. I also briefly worked for John Deere and watched as they tried to justify why people shouldn't be allowed to do that. Get absolutely fucked Deere, right to repair forever and ever www.thedrive.com/news/john-de...

The Cato Institute and Professor Ilya Somin have filed an amicus brief in the US Court of International Trade arguing that Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 cannot lawfully be used to impose tariffs under current circumstances. https://ow.ly/5nmP50YHf6h

I know we're all watching the news in terror or at least waiting for the market to crash through the floor, but one thing I appreciate about this war is that it's shown a small number of hard-to-find assholes at a maritime chokepoint with guided munitions can put a superpower's balls in a vise.

Rules to live by: 1. Never start a land war in Asia. 2. Never land a C-130 in an Iranian desert.

"That other's may live" is the motto of CSAR crews & Guardian Angel Teams. It's not a question of "if" but "how" they will go into danger to pull downed aircrew out. It's a massive reason why USAF aircrew like me can fly over hostile territory because we know there are people that will come get us.

The Army's requested end strength makes more sense when you realize at any given time they've got like 20,000 people "on duty" not actually doing their trained taxpayer funded job but rather sitting next to a landline goofing off on their phone chugging their 7th monster bsky.app/profile/mike...

*puts on US Army officer hat* for some reason we think that it is essential to US national security to have one NCO on duty inside every building the US Army owns, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, yes we've heard of IDS, fire alarms, and cell phones, no we don't think those are valid replacements

Seems fine. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Insurgency is when you fire off sophisticated ballistic missiles but Islamically

Its still his navy

freak the fuck out and panic sell

This is just more gizmo cult shit In big boy war against an opponent with missiles you lose planes on the ground, this is why you don't do dumb big boy wars of choice against opponents with missiles, but there's nothing you can do to avoid it and really only a couple things to somewhat mitigate it
