i expect the secdef will find operational necessity in firing yet another snowflake memo ordering all troops to be vaccinated for measles. it is primary season and the secdef has to drive both pudgy beardo (vance) and whispering weirdo (kennedy) over some edges.

angelenos everywhere are proud to be identified as trump's expendibles. he knows he'll never win even at mini-golf ever again, and studios will grind out trump crime dramas for the next decade.

like a good retort, it came to me some while after i first read the secdef's (and presidential candidate) zinger -- no beardos, no weirdos. it came to me with laughter. he wasn't talking to the troops, he was talking to the primary voters. here are beardo and weirdo, 48 hours later.

at first i thought this was something serious, as in, what purpose does the navy serve in this secdef's siops? then i realized it was just a defense-in-depth announcement, or in civilian speak, an expectation that "cyberdefense" is vaporware. no comitas consequences, just on-site fuel & generators.

beach day today! left town under grey skies, drove past fog enshrouded reaches of the siuslaw, got to north jetty (still under destruction) and glorious summer broke out. jonah filmed. i watched clouds, birds, and people on and in the river. lovely day and the last covid isolation day, i hope.

doom in the near term was a thing in 250ad. scoffing at the modern doomsters, hippolytus of rome, forecast the end of creation in 500ad, 6000 years after the creation in his commentary on the prophet daniel. so no second coming of christ in this, or the next two and a half centuries. cheers livers!

let me re-write that for youse ... conventional 155mm fire missions are no longer tube delivered at ballistic ranges, due to the lowered cost of extended range munitions. rocket and uav artillery range extend prior best practice for in theater artillery. the feba is much deeper. you're welcome.

is this the rma (revolution in military affairs)? or a bad take that misses the nightly point made by both kyiv & moscow -- conventional vehicles for conventional explosives by conventional means -- at a greater distance. drones are for kids, its still 155s on fixed infra-turrets, at all ranges.

lavrov uses a broad collective to refer to some of his adversaries, and a very narrow specific to refer to what used to be the united states. in a sense, he points out its just trump -- that's all he's got. asking for refinery capacity, no. he says they'll win no matter what. static pre-rma goals.
