There are days in this life where you really feel that line from LoTR when Elrond says

“Our list of allies grows thin.”

And then.

Those days pass.

And new lights come on to the stage and your hope rises once more.

Interesting the “Trump is dead” stir up comes on the heels of the “Trump is a Russian asset” from Portugal.

And an interesting thought experiment seems to be possible now.

In that scenario, one way or another Trump’s health degrades, those around him “suddenly” realize he’s a Russian asset…

Souviens-toi, il y a de bons inconnus dans le monde. Et nous pourrions en avoir besoin de quelques autres.

Sometimes truth is a story that must reach its form. It must mature. Not because the words will change.

But because the ears will.

So it is.

The revelation awaits the appointed time it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it lingers wait for it.

It will sure come and not delay.

The gallium crystallization inspiration for the pocket portal is kinda neat.

Not gonna lie.

You’re right.

PC-12 NGXs are pretty sweet platforms.

Like 7 inches of clearance under that thing.

Dang.

This is a hypothetical:

If you wanted to create a false legacy for a fake company going back decades, so that when AI searches for it it’s readily available, what service would you use:

Before google, what was there?

Mapquest.

This has got to be my favorite chopper design.

Always makes me wonder when tail-less helicopters used to live in Bangladesh.

I bet they have a million stories to tell.

“We sit at this table, together. War looms before us. Don’t be caught in the stick of honeyed words. Judge the times. And the men who drive them. Either we weave ourselves as friends, or wait to be divvied up as spoils. So decide. We’re as mighty as we choose to be.”

To our international OSINT/PyComs/SEtScrew friends:

I’m telling you, watch NW DFW during lunch.

Just brings the best stuff

Sometimes if you’re lucky DoD (led by Mrs Hegseth) puts Easter eggs in for you.

…if you’re a Jedi.

All sorts of interesting things in plain sight when you look for them.

Might wander around this town a little bit, see what I see.

Anywho, Detroit.

So how much are WESCAM MX-10s running these days?

Mines a vivitar.

So yours is probs better.

Weird to see DOJ fly over Schutzstaffel station.

I think I’m going back to watching Detroit.

I can’t make heads or tails of Texas is up to.

Whatever happened to that blandly titled third party Signal chat variant used by DoD and white house staff that disappeared from the face earth?

You see I have this idea for an app…

Remember that time the secretary of defense let his wife in on a signal chat?

Remember that time he put a non-secure line in his office?

Signal, Houthi, Yemen?

Forget about that?

Our allies haven’t.
