Everything Just Got Better. *Spanish Gin Edition.

There is some magical stuff happening with these trees.

Been out walking around Spain for three weeks thinking about stuff and making new friends… what did I miss?

This well-known aquatint by Goya came to mind as symbolising where we are right now. It’s called The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.

Absolute Unit.

This is an apology to to @boiler40.bsky.social and @ericmmurphy.bsky.social; I failed you both. Eric, I have beer to deliver…

the olds are always asking what you’re going to do when you grow up because they’re looking for ideas.

A less well know gem. You make a good point. It really is a richly rewarding place to visit for a few minutes. The quality of the design and execution is top notch. We just don't get public art of that caliber much anymore. Magical, indeed.

Philadelphia resonates as a true working-class city, with the labors of immigrants on every street and the hearts of the affluent generally in the right place. The city provides open space for the public to appreciate art, architecture, music, and history. Looking forward to a return soon.

Beautiful meditation on the tiny beautiful worlds we have all around us, if only we look.

This thread. I love Philly. This perfectly captures why.

Approved.

PHILLY I stepped out to walk across Philly last night and get a sense of things. City Hall always captures me here, Philadelphia has maintained its European layout and much of its early architecture.

What waiting looks like.

Spotted an improperly titled @frida-kahlo.bsky.social painting. I fixed it for you. “ @mkmilligan.bsky.social and I, 1937 “

Philly Time Now.

Sometimes someone has to stand up and say no. Even if its not clear it will change things.

I wonder if this was before, or after they took the group photo? “Chinese lawmakers told members of the European Parliament that NATO shouldn’t exist, and spouted Russian talking points about the war in Ukraine at a rare meeting in Brussels on Thursday.” www.euractiv.com/news/nato-sh...

It’s always a Colonel.

Time Now.

The reputational risk associated with the use of AI is an under-considered consequence. Imagine: You, a world-class consultancy, labeled as having a “human intelligence problem.“ www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Had a great experience with air advisors in West Africa and saw them as a valuable multiplier. It's a shame to see the program cut for what is basically a drop in the budget bucket.

Air Advisors are a frequent target in an Air Force that undervalues activities that are hard to quantify. What better way to advance the idea of burden sharing than to build professional, interoperable, and reliable allies and partners? irregularwarfare.org/articles/fai...

Hat tip to my man @boiler40.bsky.social who made an epic beer run, Smokey and the Bandit style, to see me over the weekend… and to deliver beer. @mkmilligan.bsky.social & @ericmmurphy.bsky.social I’ve got your distro as well.

I have a hangover… from extroverting for two days. And given the chance, I’d do it again.

Dr. Salisbury, @salisbot.bsky.social may I DM you with a FPRI question?

Approved.

This is life on the Air Staff.

Beautiful day for a stroll and to be reminded of the price paid for those that stay here.

Apparently I fell down a wormhole and popped out in 1993.
