If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
Inside the Department of War are two wolves:
"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."
"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
This is one of my favourite wallpapers - I headed out what I thought was *after* a storm and ended up hiding in doorways watching it bounce off the pavement. I ducked out between cloudbursts and got this in a big planter.

Had to dip last night into money for refilling my prescriptions today/possibly tomorrow (playing chicken with it a little out of necessity already, it's a whole thing).
Anyone want to hire me for something small asap? Also happy to do paid forward short story edits ($50).

ICE now has four warehouses for its “mega” detention centers, each which would individually be the largest prison in the country if filled to capacity.
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Can't believe I'm saying this but the Iran war makes the Russian invasion of Ukraine look somewhat competent in comparison.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Who wants to take this home before I have to relist it?
When I worked in naval mine warfare requirements development and later on the Iran problem set, I have to admit, we never considered a Presidential tweet as one of the means at our disposal to get a Q-lane going through the Strait.
That’s on me, honestly.
it's SATIRE TIME thanks to Trump attacking Iran (part Epstein distraction, part because "he had a feeling based on facts") so I present to you a brand new piece:

Finishing things is such underrated writing advice. You need to learn your habits and what tools you use not just to have an idea or start a story, but to finish them. You need to get used to it, and then observe how you can do it better. That starts by finishing stories at all.
