I don’t need theory to tell me why it’s right to grieve for children; theory more often seems to tell adherents whose children not to grieve

I once again am not going to argue with a stranger on the internet about Graham Platner. But goddamn I’d love to get that level of forgiveness for my past sins but alas that’s apparently reserved for people who have been blessed by Saint Bernie of Burlington.

Man, looking back at the last 30 years we really played into that whole great satan thing huh

It helps to remember that most medical schools do not require statistics classes to graduate and a lot of economists really enjoy writing authoritatively about things they have no practical experience with.

Usually when two countries/militants shoot at each other we call that a "war".... I'm glad Congress isn't alive to see this.

Tomcat is done with all construction, she's fully armed. now i just need to do cleanup work, finish the base and then lacquer everything.

The guy who got a neo-Nazi tattoo to cover up his Nazi tattoo is trending again. Go outside and witness the majesty of nature. I am begging you. You don't have to contort yourself into really-weird, porn-positions. Just open the door and breathe fresh air.

For many reasons, my tour as the maintenance chief at HMLA-267 was one of the more meaningful of my career, so I have a squadron sticker on my truck. Or was parked at DFW for a week, when I got back last night, this squadron patch was under my windshield wiper. Stingers, Baby! Thanks for the patch

Imagine showing up to a first date with me and I’m wearing the USS Washington (fuck the Kirishima) t shirt

very reluctantly trying to set up some formwork. I'm gonna get this pad poured if it's the last thing i do lmao

one of the things i love about old star wars posters is even after the movie was clearly a global phenomenon, some of the artists involved didn't have a clue what was going on and clearly just winged it

70! That is almost as many as would pass in a single day.

finally bought a fumoto oil drain valve for my car. lol i've been talking about this for years idk why I didn't get one earlier, it's like $40

I support the troops 💪🇺🇸🫡

mowed the lawn finally. it didn't take everywhere and some nutsedge invaded, but it's still majority grass.

Which is why it all sounds like elite NPR bullshit…

I mean part of the goddamned problem is men who walk and talk and live like them are fucking working. I’d joke that if the NYTs wants to pay me NYTs money to go on podcasts I’ll gladly pull on the ole camo ballcap and boots to do it. But then we run into the issue of I don’t understand the lingo..

Indiana’s governor has suspended the state gas tax at least through June, probably longer. They’ve let everyone know that this is going to extend the duration of all existing INDOT construction projects by 50-100% due to budgeting reasons. I filled the Mustang’s tank for $4.27/gal today. (89 oct)

Blue steel from Dewey Upper Decks Potats are all doing well. Lower decks crew are being typical enlisted and the berthing area is a mess. Corpsman said “change your socks kids!”

Telling me at any point prior to 2024 that Indiana’s coach will headline the cover of a college football video game.

Dick Cheney ruined my life and I didn't even go to Iraq

the Ivies are job programs for depressed upper class men???? who could've known?

the Bombcat in progress. carrying two AIM-7's for self defense; 2 250 gallon drop tanks, and 4 GBU-31's to remind the baddies that the F-14 can do it all

Let’s gooooooooo! Get yourselves a tank!

next pete op name dropped

i was a little scared i wouldn't be able to pull off the look of the wing gloves on the tomcat but i think i got it! what ya think

just saw a clip where Shawn Merrimam talked about hitting LT in practice and getting the talk lmao in his first year. wooo boy can you imagine if you accidentally hurt the HoF player in his prime in practice? bud, it'd be time to find a new identity

. . . post a movie that was released when you turned 18.... back in my day we didn't have "movies" we had to go to the local town center and throw rocks at each other for entertainment

i guess the fastest inning would be 3 pitches, but I wonder what the average is for a little league team. right now it feels like 75 lol

Will an EU Benjamin get me a Tomcat?

i'm on a "clips from old action movies" kick and my god dusty real explosions are so much cool than gasbomb fireballs its insane

I will add pics of me in my #ArmoredPants

It's official; #Armoredwoodcharity apples to Dermot! donate $50 and show me and i'll send you a free wooden tank!

As the Chief Proselytiser and First Acolyte and Primary Guru of the war in Africa, I also would like to note that the KIA ratio of probably 1:200 (many of the missed on the Russia line were in fact dead) is one way of explaining why the Soviets were not taking North Africa that seriously.

Lockheed was sent to me during Desert Shield. He still goes to bars and Faires with me. bsky.app/profile/tink...

Hey y’all, @dermotncosgrove.bsky.social is about to start his walk to raise funds for a great cause. If you can swing it, throw him a donation. Let’s get him closer to his goal!

And like, as a man, I am tired of having who I am defined by the things that I abhor by people who I wouldn’t want to share a beer with. We’re fighting on their turf because it’s Texas, but it’s such a miserable existence to believe that strength comes from having the will to doing bad things.

Roger has stayed with me all this time.

Why did I read this in the cadence of Rob Zombie's Dragula?

communing with the ancestors (laying bed, can't sleep) and i think that laughter is a core part of the experience of war. to experience war is to undergo a laundry list of things, but laughter is on that list as much as confusion or guilt or hate or redemption.
