This is so important to remember in light of everything we learned today. I believe time is running out for Trump, but I also believe he’s going to try to do something extremely dangerous, to distract or retaliate or both. Narcissists are so predictable when the walls start closing in. Stay frosty.

I’ll be the first to admit that my contributions over there were pretty pathetic but I’ve never been able to understand the value of wiping all the images from old articles. I spent so much time and energy finding or negotiating the use of those shots. Will never not be wild to me that they’re gone.

Hope you’re having a great time in Illinois.

Looks like Atlantic Aviation, which hosts transient military aircraft pretty regularly. I’ve seen everything from Growlers to E-6B’s there before. Notable this happened on the opposite side of the airfield from the Oregon Air National Guard base (home of the 142nd Wing, which operates F-15C/EX).

Another two secret payloads, USA 556 and USA 557, released from the LDPE mission in near-synchronous orbit. That's 14 payloads now released from this tug since early 2023. What the heck are they all up to? This is one of the most mysterious DoD missions right now.

You know exactly what I’m talking about.

There is nothing that PCH, golden hour and Steely Dan - Aja can’t fix. Green lights to Malibu, baby.
