We're never getting that CT strategy, are we?

Yeah, Odierno was an FA guy. He's the only non-Infantry guy I can name off the top of my head.
Ohhh baby. Once again, we have a Nazi caught with CSAM. Federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment against Elijah Millar back on April 1, including new charges of CSAM possession. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The government's supplemental brief in support of its sentencing recommendation is available here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The government is arguing that the downward variance in Jalloh's sentencing (from 240 months to 132) gives reason for caution. Further down in the government's supplemental brief, the prosecutor mentions that Davis is relying on many of the same arguments, although it isn't a perfect match.
The government's sentencing memorandum lays out in great detail Davis' extensive planning, such as ways to procure weapons, ammunition, and explosives. But here's the catch: the court continued Davis' sentencing and asked for the maximum penalty after Mohamed Jalloh's attack at ODU on April 10, 2026
Interesting case out of Michigan where the government is asking for the top-end of the sentencing guidelines (168 months) for Mack Davis, who plotted to carry out a mass shooting inspired by Juraj Krajčík, who shot and killed two outside of a gay bar in Bratislava in October 2022.
Re: Palantir’s statement
We’re living in an unprecedented time of accelerationism.
My intellectual side quest will be to start trying to read reactionary primary sources.
Me: “I refuse to be on Xitter.”
Also me: “I need to be on Xitter to see what the Nazis are saying.”
The duality of man.
I realize I'm very late to the party on this, but getting to take a train from DC to Philly on the cheap and paying a reasonable price for an upgrade to business class has been a radicalizing moment for me.
Reminder that if you’re in DC, I’ll be hosting a book talk with @michaelehayden.bsky.social. If Sylvester can’t convince you to buy his book, I don’t know who will.
The neat thing about broken clocks is that they’re still wrong 1,438/1,440 minutes everyday! That’s 99.86%!
There’s a crop of bread tubers and left podcasters who are coming to Hassan’s defense to the tune of, “He just says things in a mean way.” Not mentioning his misogyny, whitewashing his antisemitism, and outright ignoring his work with Code Pink, which should be a gigantic red flag.
The title of my PhD dissertation has to be “How the GWOT Gave us Brainrot,” or something to that effect.
This is 100x more cringe than any challenge coin I ever got in the Army.
Now what reason could you possibly have to mention AIPAC? 🤔🤔🤔
Just woke up from one of those naps where you’re unsure of where or who you are.
Inject this into my veins.
Hey, random university professor in Spain, if you’re going to send me shit like this, maybe don’t use your whole ass name and email address. Fucking loser.
Feels good to be able to finally have the time to sit down with a physical copy of @leahsottile.bsky.social’s latest article in @highcountrynews.org!
The targeting of SCADA systems is what keeps me up at night, and I’m not even a cyber nerd.
@jaredlholt.bsky.social I would be curious to see if Open Measures has any data on the sort of traffic about a shooter's gender identity receives in comparison to others'.
This probably one of my most important articles so far, and one I felt very strongly about writing. You can read it now on @justsecurity.org!
It sucks to think about “what could have been,” when you realize all the cool cultural connections that people miss out on because of things like what you described.
Occasionally I think about how my grandparents’ first language was German and how disappointing it is I never learned.
We should collectively block and report this dogshit.
Love to see that Nick Martin is back up on his game 😤
REMINDER: There is just one week left until I sit down with @michaelehayden.bsky.social in Washington, DC, to discuss his new book, "Strange People on the Hill." If you're in town, you still have time to register, and make sure to pick up a copy of the book!
