BTW, if you’re a fan of BB/Better Call Saul, the creator has a new show on Apple+ that is superb. “Pluribus” has a lot of weighty ideas below its surface about individualism, but for now it’s just a well-written, well-made show.

Tell me you don’t know anything about DoD acquisition processes without telling me.

From the SWP memo this summer to the MEIA unveiling, this radically dismantles the objective selection processes in place for some time. Sure there’s the normal amount of Hegseth posturing but it’s worse than that.

A few years ago, on Halloween, I was at work meeting where an engineer showed up wearing the Inigo outfit. Naturally I complimented him on the fit and he gave me the most withering look.

Friend, he wears this outfit all the time, year-round.

Got to the part of my Twin Peaks rewatch where Windom Earle becomes the main antagonist. S2 has a lot of deadwood, but I find Earle’s storyline to be a great villain arc.
