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.
Remembering when I returned from a three week TAD in Japan to find a noise complaint from my downstairs neighbor sent through the landlord.

Dated from a week prior.

Bro, I know we went a little hard in Shinjuku but I didn't think you could hear it 5,500 miles away.

DeSantis promised to unveil a “robust package” of state AI policies and referenced fears that the current excitement about AI may lead to a financial slump if the technology doesn’t work out as promised.

John Scalzi, although a menace to burritos, gets it.
I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Being in the Navy made wardrobe choices for work really easy.

Normal day: brown things.
Working on aircraft day: coverall things.
Airplane ride: zoom bag things.
Important people: white or black fancy things.

Although civilian work clothes are hard sometimes, the shoes?

Images from the NTSB preliminary investigation into the UPS MD-11 crash.

The entirety of the report is worth reading. As a former helicopter mechanic, catastrophic material failures are some scary stuff.

Not entirely sure what to make of that.

I used to read the USS Sterett deck log excerpts published in 'Neptune's Inferno' by James Hornfischer to new Chiefs.

Ship COs used to be given the ability to promote Sailors to Chief. To think that one would recognize the heroism not with a medal but with their Anchors?

Kind of a big deal.

Mandatory ethics training in the military is probably one of the few subjects Enlisted people take very seriously.

I don't even think plants appreciate the CO2 this utterly deranged lackwit produces.
Fox News's Martha MacCallum makes a case for following illegal orders: "If you are in the US military, you sign up, you carry out the mission that is assigned to you. The other option is to not join the military or to leave if you feel you can't carry out an order. But the command is integral."

I applied for a job at Intuit.

Very glad I didn't get it after poking around in their history. That organization is nothing more than angry sharks incorporated.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Something is vibrating inside one of my desk speakers. It only happens at lower frequency notes over a certain amplitude.
