I hope whomever took this picture of an F-35 warming her nest did not disturb her or her eggs. Please do not disturb wildlife!

I see that at some point we also took over the PLAN’s Yulin Naval Base, which is a pretty impressive feat to accomplish without Beijing noticing, honestly.

Congratulations to South Korea for conquering China's Hebei Province and thanks for giving the U.S. not one but two bases there.

June 4th is a good day to stand in front of reds.

Ah yes, the "Thdpsssps"

This is not happening. The quarantine around Cuba is stopping illicit oil shipments. Food and other humanitarian aid supplies (mostly from Mexico and Cuba) are regularly happening and not stopped.

Fifth Fleet's a little uh... busy.

Here's a really interesting report on Xi Jinping's relationship with the PLAN and PLANMC. digital-commons.usnwc.edu/cmsi-maritim...

Every GWOT veteran right now:

Counter Hot Take: end the presidency, restore the Iroquois Confederacy.

Sir Idris Elba immediately after rising:

And we love them both #pride #transgender

This month we are reclassifying the following munitions: •JASSM->YASSM •TLAM->TMA’AM •LRASM->GurLRASM -SM-3 ->SM-She -GBU-57 -> GayBU-69 -Dark Eagle ->DC Eagle

The fact that it's Jack Watling saying this is huge. There's no one better. www.foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/ukra...

Important thread on Russia's new navy.

The jokes on this website today are on point.

Great now I have to listen to every other Cleveland sports fan whine about Myles Garrett even though everyone and everything else about that franchise is a dumpster fire.

But can it do the most intensive task I ask of my laptops, running Rome: Total War 2?

Iran said no straights for pride

Yardarms are manufactured in Korea. The only American yardarm manufacturer shut down two years ago. Also, American-manufactured yardarms cost half a billion dollars.

Hoisted on our own yardarm.

I was prepared to click and be horrified but actually it just points out that the Pope is more Clausewitzian than the Pentagon and I don't think that's wrong. www.realcleardefense.com/articles/202...

omg

So Graham Platner makes bad tattoo decisions, criticizes the Army, and inappropriately approaches women? Say what you will but this is not a case of stolen valor. He was definitely a Marine.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Dave Matthews?

Cleveland Guardians:

No one cares, but there's something seriously wrong with the games industry if Destiny 2 is considered a failure. It was intended to last three years, it lasted ten. Make another one.

At least the Underwear Gnomes could work as a team, even if they weren’t sure what for. We at the point we can be jealous of the underwear gnome society.

Ok can we start doing the same now?

This is a really solid article but if you have access you should read the longer academic article from Comparative Strategy as well. I think it's a really important one.

We didn't get swept by the Nats.

I know what's about to happen on this website but miss me with your Morris Day and the Time disrespect.

This article gets at something I was talking about yesterday. U.S. military PME is the one place in government that inculcate a coherent and consistent framework for strategic thinking. Yet, its current framework is egregiously simplistic and detrimental to U.S. strategy.

@queenofthinair.bsky.social Have you commented on this and I missed it?

It's not the years, it's the parsecs.

Threading some thoughts here but TL;DR: Yes.

Welp baseball is bullshit.

I’m sorry: we think we can train human strategists in exercises!?

The one series every year when I root against the Nationals and they pull this “oh we’re hot and over performing” shit. #goguards

the intrusive thoughts won

This isn’t an inherent aspect of LLMs; it’s not difficult to engineer them not to be sycophantic. They’re built that way to get you hooked and willing to pay for them.

Merry Orthodox Star Wars Day to all who celebrate

This.

Melian Dialogue mentioned time to deploy the goose meme.
