Refusing to skeet about the apparently low incidence rate of 5th of November type plots in the first quarter of the 21st century.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him www.nextgov.com/people/2026/...

I just remembered we've never had a president born in the 1930's lol. No 1950's either. I wonder if we'll get one from the 70's. Kamala is from the 60's. AOC and Buttigieg are 80's bbbys. Couch Fucker too.

Skipped the SOTU, has he by any chance weighed in on Rawlsian theories of political justice

Why am I just now learning about the existence of Maitland, when he apparently was a foundational legal scholar? I'm partial to believe my education shorted me. My schooling hewed much closer to law practice than law theory, though I tried to dive into those waters, they were shallow at my school

COSTCO but for defense would be baller. Gimmie world war quantities of artillery shells and a $1.99 hot dog.

Buddy they won't even let me fuck the union

Is being honest about our moral failures noble or at least allowable if we acknowledge them as failures? Even if it’s just to get to a funny story about a time my balls hurt really bad? And am I sharing too much talking about my balls when I know prominent people and my spouses work follow me?

Battlestar galactica Star Trek Stargate Andromeda

I refer to this as the Balmer Zone. Even though I'm not always drinking when it happens lol

The only move left in the tank now is rename CENTCOM to ASIACOM, and INDOPACOM gets downgraded to OCECOM.

This is important, but it's also important to understand that the Russian Empire of 1914 was not the USSR of 1941 is not the Russian Federation of 2026. Each of these entities have different social relationships with the people of the periphery and abilities to mobilize for campaigning

I love my dog for who she is. But I think the greater part of my love for her is her unconditional love of my children. She wants nothing more in this world than to be next to them, touching them, reminding them of the power of love without limits, without constraint, truly without reason.

No, I don’t think “AI” is per se evil, since the term is meaningless. I do think tech bros, as a group, are untrustworthy and capable of evil and on the whole not very good for society, and tech bros are unabashedly pro-“AI.”

Her babies are home and all is right

A lengthy recitation of the crimes of whichever Rams coach most annoyed me the previous season.

Maaaan now I’m heading down memory lane.

Let's play spot the doggy!

it’s like my counsel always says: “100% get deposed to hang with the bros”

Fun fact the Mercy's hull is from 1976! There is no replacement on the horizon either.

Genuinely don't know the use case. "oh, someone sent me something I didn't expect, which I need to save time reading! Fortunately this robot will tell me what's important and I can bind myself based on that!"

Hell yeah I'm gonna make a name for myself taking the powers that be to court. Citiea, Counties and States! Beware!

Mom needs an MRI with sedation. There’s one place in the area that can do them. The provider is hemming and hawing about scheduling. But if she pays out of pocket, she’s the top the list. Tell me again about countries with national health systems and waitlists.

"Brothers and sisters are natural enemies, like English and Scots, or Welsh and Scots, or Japanese and Scots, or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!" "You Scots sure are a contentious people." "You just made an enemy for life!"

(Clears throat)

God could you imagine that (yes he can as the CG had to do that 2 years ago tied up almost an entire class of cutters who's replacements were superposed to have been delivered already.)

I'm torn on Ghormley. Am I allowed to hate him? Or merely think of him as a tragic figure? I've been roughly 50/50 on that for about ten years now.

If you haven't read it, there are a plethora to choose from.

Are we allowed to Hate Mitscher in 2026?

When people give their lists of commanders they dislike, I prefer deep cuts like Courtney Hodges or William Rupertus.

The value of national papers of record is more complex tha a single post. Part of that value is serving as a megaphone with millions of subscribers, allowing for ideas to spread quickly though the body of literate citizens. But how to replace it when the organ becomes corrupt?

Swear it’s genetic. I’m a born wife guy. I have fallen mildly in love with every girl whose hand I’ve ever held and I still think fondly of (most) of them.

Just like white includes all people of European descent, but is also excluding everyone who isn’t a rich person living in, but not from, Chipping Norton, simultaneously.

“The West” is just as pernicious. Like “Global South”, it’s designed to obscure (even if it maybe had some reflexive use in the Cold War). There’s never a need to use either now.

Make no mistake, focus on "Western Civilization" is intentional. They are using the vagueness of the term as an asset. Does it include Eastern Europeans? Arabs? The Balkans? Finns? Who knows, and that's the point. You can imagine yourself as being included or not, but the reality is that it is /

It’s the country music. Three chords and the truth right?

Hemingway said that all you have to do is is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know. This is that. Thank you for the read @jeremyhammett.bsky.social . It's the truest damn thing I've read today. A story about friends, lost chances, and the worlds that never were.

We have officially entered the **FIFTH YEAR** of Russia’s “3-day war” of aggression against Ukraine. May it be Putin’s last. 🇺🇦 SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇦 🦅 FREEDOM FOR RUSSIA 🦅

Kori Schake needs to endorsement from me; but this was an excellent read. It's an interesting premise and evaluation of Grant and the nation during maybe its hardest moments. I'll take one 500 page book, ma'am, at your leisure

Grateful that @theunpopulist.net gave me full sail on the history of Grant during the constitutional crisis:

It's getting to the point that War College curriculums are going to have to seriously consider adding more in-depth civ-mil coursework buy doing a whole military and political history of the Civil War from Winfield Scott to Grant and Reconstruction rather than a drunken staff ride to Gettysburg.

Or we had a 2x20 year wars with improved body army, equipment, and vehicles which prevented deaths but there are still associated injury The modern WW2 survivor bias dropped

Basically every single fighter pilot has a neck issue that qualifies them for disability, as one example

They're talking about intelligence and Epstein drafts emails that sound like someone who has just learned what words are

In 1914, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps put together plans to evacuate civilians from the Mexican oil city of Tampico in the middle of the Mexican Revolution. After months of tension, and several ‘incidents’ in early April, the fleet was mobilized and Marines dispatched to Mexican waters. 1/

Everything old is new again

Veracruz had it all: - an ineffectual State Department - a President that knew better than everyone else - "regime change" - non-combatant evacuation operations - military operations in urban terrain - amphibious operations - Smedley Butler - Frederick Funston - naval infantry and much, much more...

NEEEEEWWW BOOTS
