Guy who pled a felony down to a misdemeanor and now sits on the boards of multiple defense technology companies wants you to believe is being honest when he says the U.S. military needs to rapidly buy technology from which he will benefit financially.

Sure he did.

Personal observation: Between 4-6pm at any Disney park is definitely not the happiest place on earth. It's a mixture of hangry and exhausted kids, worn out parents and adults all crammed together.

Crumbl cookies are one of the most overhyped stores to exist in the last couple years. The "cookies" were terrible and overpriced.

Wow, Oakland police conspiring to skip check rides and fake helicopter certifications.

"The shared-room model promotes camaraderie and small-unit leadership..." I'll tell you what the shared-room model promotes: 1. Cost savings on facilities. 2. Ill-advised marriages to escape the barracks.

RAPIDAN: We “no longer assume a near-term return to freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, we expect ongoing military risks to constrain vessel transits .. well into next year ..” 👀

Parting comment from a senior leader to our team today as we closed a meeting. "This isn't your fault but it is your problem"

S-400 makes sense for Türkiye because they really only have to worry about Russian planes and S-400s are good at shooting them down.

"Secondhand thinkers" is the appropriate term for these people instead of "AI Natives"

Years of underfunding and inflation means that when we do fund stuff at current prices there is definitely sticker shock at the jump. www.airandspaceforces.com/house-approp...

“Mother, I've weighed the risks - which I prefer to living in a world dominated by Nazis. Bill" Thank god for Bill and so many more like him (Pic from @profpeterdoyle.bsky.social on X)

Tired: Russian tank turrets being blown into the sky Wired: Russian oil refinery roofs being blown into the sky

Spectacular explosion in the Kapotnya refinery in Moscow, Russia. This silo not only exploded but also catapulted the roof of the building into the air.

"Why are they even bombing us? Where is the air defense?" The day of rhetorical questions for Moscow residents.

The Navy right now:

A toast to our fallen Airmen, a group of highly skilled aviators that advanced aviation every time they left the ground. Prayers for the families who are missing their loved ones tonight. 🍺
