Suddenly consuming $3 worth in one sitting sounds, uh, *daunting*.

I want it to be a real minesweeper because “just send a whole carrier group through, that’ll butt out” is such a terrifying alternative

Four seem like a lot! Until “actual wartime” and “dry dock requirements” hit the page!

I’d love a world where I could accept my wife’s sloppy second forth meal, but stoned us but want what we want.

Teamwork makes the dream work, right?

Oh. *daddy*godamn.

Can we just talk about how “weed is $10 gram if you want okay weed and $12 gram if you want princess and the pea weed” is fucking AWESOME btw?

But as someone whose birthday just happened your eldest should know it’s a time all the coolest people have birthdays

I mean yeah April and May are more common. Gemini kittens are most common I think.

Tell your eldest that other Pisces appreciate them joining the club!

Also tell them that March is when kittens start to get born so if they ever thing they might be a cat then that’s cool, or don’t

“Unwilling military hero” is probably the most ugly ass bullshit in the fascist playbook so there’s that:

As a big Mary Renault junkie I don’t like this picture but you may very well be right.

Another picture is that Xenophon hated Plato’s depiction of Socrates despite agreeing in 90% of it and he needed to establish bonafides to fight Plato.

May Pete Hegseth miss some of the warning text on his airbags’ subtlety

The one thing I want to actually go far:

Entirely a side note but Lin-Manuel Miranda has made a songbook for “The Genderbent Warriors Musicial” and oh goddess I hope that gets actually made.

Okay 1,000,000% fair.

Hegseth just keeps hearing someone clinking his empties together and deciding to come out to plaaaaaaaay in the worst way possible.

Xenophon’s who goal was to get *out* of Persia, not to reopen a water superhighway

Honestly just knowing we actually have 4 rather than being down to 2 is somehow a relief for me. I knew we were letting stuff age out and not replacing it but 4 grandma class sweepers is better than 2, y’know?

With the US’s take on “don’t touch my BOOOAAAAATS” it *would* maybe be the most effective way to get approved to nuke a place, so there’s that.

It’s fine, I’ll just get another ship from… *my CENTCOM begins to cry*

"...it sounds like you're feeding US Navy ships to Iranian mines"

For the ships/task group involved? It’d probably be about as dangerous as trying to use them as icebreakers in the North Pole area rather than using actual icebreakers.

The important thing is we have 11 carrier groups so worst case scenario that’s less than 10% of our fleet!

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

There are also probably other more cost effective methods but iirc both of our main minesweepers just finished dry dock in US harbors or something so they’d need a bit of time to tether there.

We’ve got about as much redundancy in carrier group supply as we do for Tomahawks, right? It’d be fiiiiine

If you run an entire carrier group through the Strait we’d probably find most of the mines in the process.

He now has the ribbon to play with, I’m not a monster

I grabbed one of his favorite ribbons and marked a spot with my fingers and then yes, I found a tape measure lol.

He also hops up on things and stands when he wants to be picked up but if there’s a door to it his paws on and birds ? Oh he stands up so much harder and his head is on a SWIVEL

He had almost no hair dude to being starving and having ringworm when we got him! He is an orphan but now he’s an orphan like Clark Kent was or some shit!

Okay, he’s 14.5” from base of neck to where his tail starts when standing normally so even stretching out not the actual length of an interior door jamb, but his tail is the same length again and then there’s his head. He’s just so absurdly fucking long I can’t even.
