Alright, I’ve seen enough β€œBut why?!?” quotes of this I’m going to give the world a quick primer on *one part* of how the DoD works.

To the pedants out there, it’s late where I am, I’m tired, I’m gonna go fast and oversimplify so the basic point gets across in less than six DAWIA courses.

@yael.gay @selectric.space I think it would be really funny if the US lost in the group stage b/c DeRosa thought the US already clinched *and* it could be said as the curse of Raleigh not shaking Arozarena's hand

Wicker shrugging at killing the FFG and announcing the BBG just so long as Flight III Burkes never stop rolling out of Pascagoula is a huge indictment of congressional oversight as you can get

In a just world there would be weekly hearings on just how much the Navy has biffed it in the past few decades and several purges of SASC leadership

No win scenario

All the planning involved some combination of "those assholes fired first" and "The World Has Decided It Is Time To End The Iranian Threat," both involve a level of ally+partner integration that is absolutely not the case here

There was literally no plan for "YOLO Iran war w/Bibi"

Randy Arozarena on Cal Raleigh's non handshake: The "good to see you" he said to me, he can shove up his a** Posted in r/baseball by u/ralbert β€’ 4,831 points and 1,567 comments

Randy Arozarena wanted to shake Cal Raleigh's hand when he came up to the plate, which Raleigh utterly refused to and led to Arozarena stating this.

Would be pretty funny to end all global trade by making the Panama Canal inoperable at the same time the strait of Hormuz is mined

You may remember a series of Peanuts comic strips that ran from March 10 to March 15, 1969, in which Snoopy becomes the first beagle to land on the moon (beating his namesake lunar module there by a couple of months). #Apollo10 May, 1969
