My lore will remain a SAP for the foreseeable future
Eric dropping Eric lore, natsec Twitter we are so back
currently full of chana masala and chicken biryani and I'm approaching Nirvana
I'm like a golden retriever when it comes to Indian food - if it's in front of me, I'll eat it, and I will keep eating it until it is removed or I die
It's not even snarky, it's an objective fact to note that he died as he lived: being mad about trans people and challenging people to debate him
First report is always wrong
Me: "Political crisis in the US could look a lot like the violence in Northern Ireland during the Troubles" The News: "US conservative commentator shot in Utah" Me: "Oh, what city?" The News: "Provo".
Am I happy? No. But am I living a meaningful life? Also no
First of all how dare you
settle down
You guys want to feel older than dirt?
imagine him saying "sperm." really think about it.
Ledo's Pizza sucks ass
Tangentially related, the only beef I inherited from my dad is with an extremely mid local pizza chain
My grandpa had an ongoing beef with Jonas Salk, mainly because of institutional land use questions, but also because Salk would call him "Mr." instead of "Dr." So now I have inter-generational beef with one of the best humans who was ever alive
Also, credit where credit is due - they tend to come up with the funniest, driest, bitchiest insults
worst beefs? tech bros remember when Elon and Zuck were gonna have an MMA bout? lmao
Of all the professional beefs, academic beefs are my favorite
true story I never understood wtf he was talking about and how it was related to a blog about counterinsurgency, but he was there. bizarre.
I might be showing my age but CNAS will always be associated with COIN in my mind Also the comment section of Andrew Exum's blog was my first introduction to Moldbug. People would be musing about building host nation forces capacity and there he'd be, ranting about the cathedral
Worth noting that Elbridge Colby was at CNAS, as were some of his current minions.

Gotcha. Well imo if you think the bride's fan won't get the jokes, you can never go wrong with sincerity. Never goes amiss, even if slightly cheesy.
Are there illegal immigrants committing crimes in the US? Certainly. Since the FBI is currently being used for immigration enforcement, they can continue in that role and deal with that problem set. No need for ICE to exist as a going concern.
If it's legal for the administration to lay off thousands of federal employees, I see no reason why a single ICE agent should be employed at 12:01pm on January 20, 2029.
learned something new today
I can't figure out how to do the spacing but here's the meme: Stringer Bell's associate 🤝 people who wrote birthday cards to Jeffrey Epstein (taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy)
I need to know how they are making this correlation
My insta algorithm occasionally* serves up reels from various women who are stacked up like library books, and every. single. time. Shaq follows the accounts. Every time! Either insta thinks I'm a huge fan of Shaq, or it thinks we have the same taste in women, and I don't know what to make of that.
I'm much more liberal with the block button on here than I was on Twitter, it has been helpful in dispatching strangers who do drive by asshole comments. Poof, no longer my problem.
To clarify are you talking about a speech during the reception? Or the ceremony?
being a dick to strangers on the internet....to what end? for what purpose? just casually being an asshole because one can?
3. They just realized how expensive the Guard is My money is on a combination of 1a and 3
Ok mine isn't that bad 🤞
no thanks!

the influence of the neverending story is at work here
FUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKK
Here's my recipe for a delicious salad: 1. 5 thinly sliced English cucumbers 2. A glug of truffle infused olive oil 3. A splash of sherry vinegar 4. A fuckton of Cavender's all purpose Greek seasoning 5. The tip of your thumb, removed by the mandolin you used to slice the cucumbers (protein)
Don't worry, the consultancy is separated from the hedge fund by an impregnable firewall
I wonder if their in-house hedge fund is creating bespoke derivatives to short the companies to which he gives this advice
Sorry Mr. Fukuyama, we gotta pack the courts after this little gem

I've been eyeing a pair of gokey boots as a little treat for myself, upland bird gang represent
no one tell @ywfyf.com and @wrenispinkle.bsky.social about this
immaculate vibes
believe me it wasn't my idea
Name a better feeling than waking up on a cold morning, then rolling over and going back to sleep as a working parent of 3 kids who also owns one very old dog and one very young dog, I get to experience this feeling maybe twice annually but I'm always chasing that dragon
50°!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍👏🙌👍👍
those border missions sound like they suck absolute shit. add a few months of eating dust in Brownsville to a ReARMM cycle that includes a months-long "deployment" to a multilateral exercise in Europe (for which you get no significant additional pay and allowances) and the burn out will be real, imo
The problem is that using that fuck you hammer inappropriately will break the hammer, even a hammer as insanely well-funded as the DoD 18yos sign up to jump out of planes and kill terrorists, not detain migrants by the un-air conditioned tractor trailer load. Recruiting and retention will plummet.
Trump: I've got a giant fuck you hammer called the DoD. Reasonable people: Immigration is a problem that requires interdisciplinary policy solutions. Trump: I'm gonna use the giant fuck you hammer instead.
To finish this thought: much of the defense enterprise has been focused on China for a long time, even during the height of the GWOT. The current admin wants instead to focus the defense enterprise inward, shifting resources to LE and border security, a very uncomfortable role for the military
In fact if Xi authorized the construction of a certain brand of casino and hotel in Beijing tomorrow, we'd never hear another word about competition with China ever again
I think it's patently obvious that the administration doesn't view China as the pacing competitor. In effect, I think it's clear that they view migrant laborers as the pacing competitor, and are using the military accordingly.
it is...dare I say...brisk outside rn AND there's a dummy thiccc full moon tonight 🌕 the siren song of the fire pit calls to every suburban dad
we are SO CLOSE to sweatah weathah

did you guys know line dancing is making a big comeback these days
get in losers we are getting drunk* and doing a critical analysis of the chokehold southern** culture has on white Americans *responsibly sipping **herein defined as the SEC, Florida State, Clemson, and the expanded Sheridan Universe
He's got the Millennials in a chokehold re: cowboy boots
Anyway there's a reason there's no "The Ohio State University Rush"
honestly no. Morgan Wallen has more influence over The Youths than GWB
From the intersection of footbaw and rigid social hierarchy sprang forth a curated fantasy college experience that was beamed straight into the eyeballs of the oldest cohort of Gen Z via Instagram and TikTok
Specifically, I believe that Nick Saban's Alabama football teams as an avatar for a specific college experience that doesn't really exist IRL and which can only be glimpsed through the magic lens of Instagram and/or tiktok
I've had a drink and I'm ready to talk about this: I believe Nick Saban is responsible. Let me explain.
hell yeah
It's the side of the 2nd Chance Toyz store, goes incredibly hard
I wish I had gotten a better angle on this but I was driving and very focused on getting to a 7-Eleven
Severna Park, I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game.
it's amazing how much better extra toasted cheez it's are than the original I can't think of another food where burning it makes it taste SO MUCH BETTER

I think I stole this bit from @hoosierhomer.bsky.social

My constant "there but for the grace of God go I" refrain is that O-3 SECDEF was reasonably thoughtful about the conduct of the war at that time. As a former O-3, maybe I'm lucky that my PTSD/depression/whatever this is didn't put me at the bottom of a bottle or on TV defending Eddie Gallagher
If you are concerned about the mobilization of the National Guard to support law enforcement, you should listen to this podcast to learn about the titles and authorities in question from the brilliant @lindsaypcohn.bsky.social , these are issues that get at the core of federalism
everyone wants to make fun of shitlibs until it's time to wipe a slave empire off the face of the fucking planet
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel
Every officer swears to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the source from which "tepid legality" flows We are a nation of laws. If we are not, what are we supporting and defending?)
Watching the Chairman, I keep circling back to the question of what a military officer owes his/her civilian leaders. Are you simply a tool, meant to execute orders? Are you window dressing? Or are you supposed to provide leaders with your best advice, critical thinking, and professional judgement?
Why would you say this,,,
You know, I've been saying that we need a hard reset of our relationship with the Kingdom for a long time. Maybe this doofus will fuck up enough for them to finally break from us.
Adams in Saudi Arabia lolol we are about to see levels of corruption never before witnessed by man
