Yeah because the way you stop weaponizing lawfare is to engage in more lawfare... Aments...

Attacking random banana boats is Hegseth's new flex...

@tyrellmayfield.bsky.social @taggertmayfield.bsky.social I remember being given one of these as a courtesy car to drive back and forth from town to Pinehurst. The sucker flew & it felt like I was riding on an air cushion. You'd be speeding & not realize it...

CIFR off the top

By now your charts must all consist of more vertical attachments than horizontal...Hmm...maybe you have a new proprietary measure:-)))

As for internet, the end game is always porn

Its been 25 yrs ago but a friend of mine's wife walked & left him to raise their two daughters. (He did a great job.) He did graphic design for DoD & was online a lot, but kept his daughters off. Never forget he told me, "The internet is 95% porn & 5% everything else..."

Three Japanese Type 95 tanks arrived at the NIBT Proving Grounds in Kubinka #OTD in 1945. Since they offered absolutely nothing new for Soviet tankers, they were retained as museum exhibits. One tank from this set is still on display to this day. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Crazy if this would work.

The same goes for grits...

Corn bread needs to be as ubiquitous as pumpkin spice in October....

Corn bread needs to be available everywhere.

Smart strategy- targeting energy infrastructure strikes at the core of Russia’s war machine. With U.S. intel guiding Ukraine’s precision, it’s not just about defense anymore- it’s leverage at the negotiation table.

(Critical) Intelligence Studies is just nonsense. It's overtheorisation and a copy of Critical IR/Security, etc.

It's still possible to study gender, media, ethnicity, non-state intelligence without being "critical" because intelligence studies covers everything.

It sounds more like a job justification instead of distinction in curriculum.... I agree with you. There are way too many pseudo micro position redefinitions in academia that mean nothing...

Finished =) Well, finished stitching. Hopefully all my new pillowcases will be ready for actual use next autumn ;P This one was irresistible, it has a SNAIL on it!

I kinda prefer finding my own errors rather than having someone else announce them over a bull horn...:-)))

I try to remember that each of us has our allotment of intelligence. Some more, some less. It's a gift that elevates us above animals. We can use it well, or not.

Critical thinking is a double-edged sword. It reveals my errors, which can be ego-deflating. But I prefer deflation to living in error.

This is a really interesting read, regardless of whether you is the kind who usually is interested in African authoritarians or not!

When you finally read about Malagasy politics you begin to understand why it works well as an island...

Now, I am only half-trolling when I say there is a timeline in which Finland by 2032 has more and better submarines in service than Sweden 😎

A very Happy Battle of Hastings Day to all of you who celebrate!

Gonna go wrap myself up in a tapestry and partake in a flagon of mead or two…

Excellent thread, this.

My understanding is once the aircraft came off the production line in North Buffalo, they were wheeled into the parking lot, and flown in a short hop out to what is now the Buffalo airport on Genesee for delivery prep.

Alternately they were trucked in sub assemblies.

I don't see that many people vaping...But when I do they always look like they're hitting a hash pipe... Hey...maybe they aren't vaping after all...

Tack vare @staffand.bsky.social, vår man på kontinenten, har jag nu upptäckt uttrycket "vapoteur", dvs. en person som nyttjar vape. Detta bör omedelbart importeras som låneord, förslagsvis med stavningen vapotör. Funkar även i plural: vapotörer.

You need to get some control over that enthusiasm...:-)))
