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

I see Annie Jacobsen has produced another disaster book. Given her track record, I don't plan to read it. I'll leave it up to these two experts.

Smart take from @progmil.bsky.social "What Jacobsen offers ...is just play-acting. It’s as if someone suddenly woke up to the fact that biological organisms can be deadly and believes that no one else has thought what to do about it. outbreaks." almauroni.substack.com/p/no-one-mak...

I spent an absurd amount of time tailoring an info package for a new 2-star in my chain, with the explicit purpose to make the complex information (in which he has 0 experience) digestible at a glance. I wouldn't have wasted my time if I had known he wouldn't even read the table of contents.

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

From a Reddit forum, a photo of a can of coconut milk with a blue label, papyrus text and a flip-top, on a sidewalk.  It seems to hover because there's no visible shadow.  The pavement is sort of unevenly colored, with bright spots, and the grass along it is green and lush.

And since Taylor Farms *hasn't* issued that recall, you are currently far more likely to get sick from your groceries than Taco Bell. News orgs putting Taco Bell instead of Taylor Farms in their headlines are not putting public health first.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Taylor Farms, which supplies major fast food and grocery chains, was identified as the possible source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak Thursday.

Just sharing this again at a time of what's happening in Australia. In Event Horizon Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform remove the Union Flag from the corner & for it to be replaced with the Aboriginal flag, the way he thought it should look in 2047

Sam Neill in the movie Event Horizon.

The fastest way to see me nope the fuck out of a professional relationship is to make passive-aggressive comments in front of a group of people rather than pulling me aside and addressing me directly. Especially if you are an LNO to my organization. Especially if I was not doing anything wrong.

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.
