The Ace Tomato Company

A left-wing mob of cybernetically enhanced coyotes into all manner of ill shit.

Actually, it's just one retired (emphasis on tired) squid with a serious phobia related to random wires sticking out of the ground and a love of flying and airplanes.

There is no race, national origin, religion, creed, sexual orientation, or gender identity with a monopoly on patriotism.

There is, unfortunately, a certain subset of white heterosexual men who believe they have the right to dictate who is and is not fit to serve.

That latter group can fuck off.
The Danes, Brits, Dutch, Aussies, Italians, Slovaks, Poles, Norwegians, Czechs, Germans, Spanish, Kiwis, French, and South Koreans (to name a few) all had people that "gave their last full measure."

I finally listened to this and cannot communicate how mad I am right now.
That’s weird because at FB Tycz, which I was led to believe on the front lines, we lived right next door to FOB Hadrian which housed Dutch and French troops.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

I swear on the grave of Saint Lee of the Iacoccas that if I hear one more idiot mention reinstalling the Pahlavi Shahs in Iran I will ineffectually whine about it on the internet.

I'm working on my NCOER support form and realizing that, across my career, all my best bullets have been some version of "annoyed the shit out of people with paper to great effect"

George Takei is the hero we need.
Leonard Nimoy was more than a colleague—he was a friend, an ally, and my political soulmate. Leonard played a half-human, half-Vulcan officer—a being caught between two worlds. Yet in his own life, he was perhaps the most profoundly human person I have ever known.

Watching the Mat Armstrong v. Bugatti drama is weird.

Bugatti, much like Ferrari (who will sue you for repainting their cars and often insert first right of resale refusal riders in contracts,) should've purchased the car from the insurer prior to auction if they were genuinely concerned.

Let's talk about UAVs and UAV video downlink.

First off, they're not drones. 'Drone' refers to a class of air vehicles that are entirely autonomous and have no control signals sent to them. They may transmit data, but aren't controlled from a handheld or fixed station.

During use of force training we were informed using a choke hold or headlock was a really good way to get an express ticket to CO's Mast.

ICE fuckos seem use these things like it's all they know how to do.

Unsolicited mail makes it more likely I will go out of my way to find a competitor if I ever need that service.

Especially churches and real estate agents.
It would be so cool if anyone sent me something that said "Final Notice" could never contact me again.

My brother asked me to quickly explain Baudrillard to my nephew. I had this floating around.

I'm now trying to find Swedish Fish Oreos.
