Mostly just random, but on occasion have been known to wax poetic/get super nerdy about: CBRN/CWMD, nuclear weapons, deterrence, etc.

My only gripe with your article is that PACOM has already had a well-developed problem with alcoholism for years. Ask me how I know.

To that end, AI has some very niche uses, but like OneBrief and literally any other tech tool we give OSW, people keep trying to shoehorn it into something it isn't. So we (the rest of the Joint Force outside of the Pentagon) are repeatedly being asked to take AI slop and turn it into strategy.

5 years ago I moved and I haven't been able to find my Nintendo Switch since. I have been vehemently against replacing it because I just know it's probably stored somewhere random (because ADHD). That was until the Zelda: OOT remake announcement. So... I'm back, bitches.

Mood. Although I always say "never again," then inevitably info dump to someone I think is safe, only to repeatedly find out the hard way that I suck at reading people and their utter lack of interest in anything I say. Unless it's a dumb musing about an old TV show, I guess.
A four panel cartoon by Owlturd.com depicting a pink creature in a box. In the first panel, it reads "maybe I don't have to be so tough." In the second panel the creature opens the box to step out and says "maybe I can be vulnerable sometimes." In the third panel, the creature is punched in the gut. The last panel shows the creature safely enclosed in the box, but with even thicker walls, with the words "never again."

How much tragedy?

Costco. I got a ginormous package of brownie mix - basically 6 packages in one box for $20. Not a bad deal IMO. Only have to add 1/3 cup of oil, 1/3 cup of water, and 1 egg to one of the 6 bags of brownie mix to make a batch.

To feel better, J sha arrange a sad little feast
Where I will jump up and down on my bed in my grief

Chocolate cake, and I'll have no regrets 'til I

I present to you: a literal conversation I had with a former colleague the other day. Chat, this guy has a PhD in chemistry.
A screenshot of a text chat that begins with a photo of a stack of myriad defense strategy and nuclear weapons related books. 

The text thread begins with the sender saying "Lol I have too much homework. Self inflicted because I have to keep up with <name redacted>."

The first response from the other person says "I suggest you listen to them or have AI write you a 20-page summary of each. I have had jet lag for three days."

The sender responds with "Fuck AI. With a chainsaw sideways. I want to actually understand this shit, not outsource my intellect."

The other person responds "Hey, that's my new cheat code for getting work done faster."

Made a bit of a Frankenstein's Monster of a cocktail. Basically a honey lime bourbon sour, but using a mix of Ancho Reyes (thanks @funranium.bsky.social ) and Woodford Reserve instead of just straight bourbon. I think I need to play with some proportions but it's pretty darn close to perfect.
