Folks, today is October 25th, the Feast Day of Saints Crispin and Crispinian, and of course the anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt.

It is *also* one month until November 25th, the Feast Day of Saint Catherine, when AN EXCITING THING *might* happen. 👀

Anyway, here's Kenneth Branagh.

Hello Bluesky! I am an #Indiedev making The Knight & the Maiden, a game set in a world almost, but not quite, like our own in the early 16th century. The story is about a lady who disguises herself as a knight to win a tourney, but then she falls in love with a princess and things get… complicated.
Call me a traditionalist, but letting private individuals send cheques to an authoritarian-curious president so he can fund the military outside of the legal appropriations procedure… seems less than optimal.

Also that’s like 0.8% of the monthly US military payroll.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."
I don’t mean to lecture ACECO – an award-winning demolition company with 3500+ successfully completed projects since 2000 and 86 years of market experience – on how to conduct their business, but I’d maybe have removed the branding from the machines for this particular project. #ReputationalDamage
Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped
Can’t believe they’re not using an AMERICAN-made excavator to demolish the People’s House 1600% TARIFFS on imported heavy machinery IMMEDIATELY please thankyou for your attention to this matter

I do think it’s very funny that barely any of the newly-arrived US Government accounts, in line with the administration’s usual level of competence, seem to have figured out how to set a custom domain handle.

That’s Columba.

Columbus is the 6th century Irish missionary who founded Luxeuil Abbey and a number of other monasteries in Francia and Lombardy.
That's Coulomb.

Columbus is the genus that includes doves and pigeons.
That’s Columbia.

Columbus is the unit of electrical charge in the international system of units.

I imagine Pete Hegseth's inability to understand this is probably a big reason why his career stalled out when it did: he was trying to be an O-4 thinking in terms of the 'O-3 test' (or the 'E-6 test') when that wasn't his job anymore.

A colonel is not just a really, really big lieutenant.

One of the things that doesn't come out in the soundbites but does in the full speech is Hegseth's repeated, explicit emphasis on viewing problems from the perspective of an E-6 or O-3, wholly unaware (as a bad O-4) that the job of the 0-7s to O-10s in front of him is quite different.
One of the challenges in trying to write something about Hegseth's speech at The Quantico Disgrace is you have to listen to the whole speech but it is very difficult to listen so much and not have the style of speech bleed into your writing and you *really* don't want to write like Hegseth talks.
In the same manner that the President “may” not deploy his personal paramilitary forces to major American cities and order them to kidnap random people off the streets and disappear them into giant camps in order to support his fascist agenda.

But, well.
Incredible that we’re almost nine months into this mess and people still don’t understand the difference between “can” and “may”.

The President “may” not put his stupid face on a coin because of an 1866 law.

But of course he “can” put his stupid face on a coin because who’s going to stop him?
It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.

It’s funny to consider that Hegseth is precisely the sort of person for whom Sun-Tzu actually wrote The Art of War, and is thus the kind of person who fundamentally cannot understand it

His brand of it is particularly garish but all authoritarianism is basically government by spoiled child. No capacity for or interest in any principles. People who are nice to me get treats, people who are mean to me get abuse. I get what I want or I cry and thrash. Embarrassing
President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.
Or has been going on for the last decade, rather.
It’s frightening how many highly influential people seem to have literally *no idea* what’s going on at the moment.

frankly, it still seems like the only job AI replaces is idea guys who don't know how to make things and the investor class is just frothing at the mouth for it because they're all idea guys who don't know how to make things.
Weird way to announce the closure of Pituffik Space Base, but okay.
