Not watching the Super Bowl, but took a break from the Olympics to watch the halftime show. Fuck'n A. Absolutely outstanding performance from Bad Bunny. IMHO, that's what it means to be American.

Sigh. Most folks want to talk about nuclear war, but tonight all I have is random shit. First, I just rewatched Predator Badlands, directed by Dan Trachtenberg. Fuck'n epic with the Predator as the protagonist thrown in with an epic Weyland-Yutani synth as the co-protagonist. (1/2)

Hey all y'all. Somewhat of a weird announcement, but I'm going to do an "ask me anything" (AMA) on the www.reddit.com/r/preppers/ subreddit. FYI, I do not believe in "prepping" for nuclear war (absolutely for earthquakes/etc.) but the mods that I've chatted with there are well informed. (1/?)

I think it would be pretty funny if Putin "gifted" a couple of Project 636.3 (Improved Kilo-class) submarines to Venezuela along with some unacknowledged "training support". Because, deterrence and stuff.

It's been a hard two weeks. Our lovely tortie suddenly got sick with cancer and had to be put down today at home. This photo was from earlier today. She was a wonderful friend and we tried to make her last day as calm and happy as we could. The vet who assisted her was a true gift. I'm just so sad.

If Trump pushes for drug cartels to be recognized as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) instead of transnational criminal organizations (FCOs), I don't think that it's going to end well for Trump, or the rest of his cabinet. I don't think the Secret Service has the resources to deal with this.

Still not gonna post about nuclear war stuff today. Just finished watching "How to Train Your Dragon (2025)". Was this remake needed? Absolutely not. Did I like it? Hell yes. Gerald Butler did an amazing job, but in the end (for me), it was all about Toothless. More Toothless is good. That's all.

Any reporting from the White House or DOD that reports, "Severe Damage" from the MOP strikes is making shit up. "Severe Damage" is a nuclear damage term. The only way to know what happened from a conventional attack is ground truth. The ground truth from Iraq was not pretty. Not at all.

Well, shit. That was a dumb thing to do. FYI, I worked those targets back when I was advising JWS-4 (Physical Vulnerability) at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). I would be very surprised if any of the MOPs was able to do anything other than a brief functional defeat on any of the sites. Dumb.

It's my birthday and while waiting for our guests to arrive, I sat down at the laptop (while drinking a cocktail) and typed into Google, "Am I old at 59?". The response? No, 59 is not typically considered old. The United Nations, for example, considers old age to be 60 years or older. Oh well.
