Of course is was the commander. O-5 brain is real.

Maybe we should all make our way to a USMC graduation.

lol. Go to google reviews for various @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social locations to see corporate suicide in real time. Switching to QR code only ordering DURING THE MOVIE FFS has alienated a very loyal fan base with tech-bro enshitification. Lost one of the last bastions of what made Austin special.

Walked out of a screening of Project Hail Mary at @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social Mueller because of the stupid QR codes. Been an Alamo regular since the 90s. So many memories ruined. I don’t want to be on my phone during a movie. How stupid are you guys now?

Is the street price of cocaine rising? If so, not much friction.

Whelp here come the Bab Al-Mandab knowers. Is Perim Island a COD map or what?

This was always the planning assumption for this scenario. SoH closed, magazines empty, and an enemy who gets a vote whether they keep going or not.

This goes so hard.

So I know everything is shit and.. I got rejected from UT’s MFA programs so no biking to campus. But… I got just got offered the CASE Dean’s Fellowship at Florida International University for their MFA in creative writing. This beyond my first offer. So chat I think we’re going to Miami. 1/2

So I got my wife to finally read “The Dog Stars” and she is really close to that one part. And I don’t think she’s emotionally prepared.

Nothing ever changes.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

I was one of Andy Weber's regular briefers. He is extremely knowledgeable in this mission area.

This is a very useful thread on USMC capabilities.

So in honor of Chuck Norris I’m watching “Lone Wolf McQuade” and drinking bourbon. Dude was problematic sure but also pretty fucking cool.

Y'all everything is shit, but there are some bits of light and life. For example, almost year ago I was recovering from neck fusion surgery wishing I would die. I woke the next morning and decided this was going to be a different year. I started applying to MFA in Creative Writing Programs 1/3

So I'm probably very new to this, but a jiu jitu buddy turned me on to "Dungeon Crawler Carl" and OMG what fun. But, I will say if the cat dies, we riot.

GM

Boomtown. But mostly Firefly.

My theory is that Greg Bovino thought he was auditioning to be the new DHS director and that is why he got himself on TV so much. Poor lil fella has gotta be disappointed.

CODEL to Baghdad when the winds was blowing the wrong way? That certainly is a smell.

Y’all should really be paying attention to what is happening in Corpus Christi. I believe the port is our largest oil export terminal and the city that supports it running out of water, you know, seems bad.

I want to live in a world where I don’t have to read stuff like this. But don’t look away.

So I’m supposed to post the first thing that pops up when I search green. Hmmm. Did not disappoint.

I will never cease to be ashamed that Tuberville was part of my alma mater Texas Tech. Well, at least I can say he blocked me on Twitter when he was coach and I was dragging him for being a Dollar Store Mike Leach.

It took me two tries to get through "One Battle After Another" which I thought was meh at best. "Sinners" held everyone in the audience rapt both times I saw it in the theater. "Sinners" was robbed.

There. Somebody finally said it. Now they need to interview people he served with in the Rakkasans.

Having hung out with Renzo Gracie and attended his seminars, I don't think much will be contributed to national security. But, his stories are pretty fucking funny.

Sounds like an out of date MIDB record bit them in the ass.

Well it is about damn time.

These people literally know nothing.

Everything is shit, but I had tickets to the VIP experience at a Lucero show in San Antonio and got to bullshit with Ben Nichols. And I bullied them into playing my favorite Lucero song during the VIP set.

As someone who was deeply involved in the targeting process at CENTCOM from 2015-2019, I found this thread worth a read for the uninitiated.

Iran has been like “two weeks” away from a nuclear weapon most of my adult lifetime. Nobody can ever answer any questions about weaponizatuon, delivery systems, have they inflight tested an AF&F system.

Space A seat on a military aircraft during an open conflict seems, I dunno, insane.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: he’s aping COL Mike Steele because he thinks this is how professionals talk. It is not.

Tanker Warz 2: Hormuz Bugaloo WORST. SEQUEL. EVER.

Looking forward to the moment Hegseth has to look some kids poor mom in the eye and tell her their loved one got killed by a “squirter.” This is all cosplay. That weird bro who didn’t make battalion command who is now stashed away in some J-5 shop? That’s how he talks.

Well, shit. Woke up to more terrible news.

Lots of strong opinions on targeting this morning from people who probably don’t know what a BE number is.

I have no words.

This has been the most fun I’ve had on here so far.

Somehow Liver King returned.

So a Friday in the infantry. I’m a little rusty but I could train up.

Today we mourn the loss of our mega-chad dryer. He survived at least five PSCs, retirement, a remodel, and outlived three washing machines. He is survived by his older brother “beer fridge” who stalwartly carries on in the garage. See you in appliance Valhalla brother.

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Wife is out of town, bourbon in hand, time to rewatch “Heat” for the 400th time.

The horrors. The horrors.

I’m totally here for the existential horror this man is feeling. More please.

Why not 21 feet?
