Really can’t recommend the latest season of Articles of Interest by @trufelman.bsky.social highly enough. Everyone wears the same gear now because they’re following fashion trends! Special forces have switched back to 80s jungle camo because they want to look cool and different from everyone else.
it looks like you covered fat guys in glue and rolled them in a dumpster full of the tactical gear they sell on the ACC network

This really feels like a coda to @trufelman.bsky.social ‘s latest season, wherein the special forces use their uniform exemptions to wear the GOOD camo and then it’s cool because special forces are wearing it and everyone else wants in, et cetera. The cycles of fashion begin anew
Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

I say it every season, but Avery @trufelman.bsky.social's Articles of Interest is an exemplary podcast and I cannot recommend it enough.

This season was "Gear": all about the interplay between the military, fashion, and the outdoor industry.

The podcast up in my queue today was the excellent first chapter of @trufelman.bsky.social's Articles of Interest: Gear, on the origins of American outdoor wear and its relationship with the military. Teddy Roosevelt's machismo and the Spanish-American War hits like a gut punch today...

Come for the making fun of Army uniforms but stay for maybe the most profound examination of the CIV-MIL divide I’ve heard in a long time.

(ps, I’ve been a fan of this show since the beginning, but @trufelman.bsky.social really outdid herself with this one)

This is genuinely the best podcast I’ve listened to this year! @trufelman.bsky.social has done such a fascinating, immaculately researched deep dive - it is absolutely worth the listen. Every single episode had a reveal moment that made me gasp, laugh or immediately text my friends in recognition. 💕

A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it.
This company charges disabled vets millions, even after VA said it's likely illegal
