It's June 2, which means it's the anniversary of the 1957 Franklin Shot fizzle from Operation Plumbbob, which is really only of note because of its extreme @gbrumfiel.bsky.social oriented content

Attempting some Georgian dishes from the Supra cookbook for NYE.

Eggplant with seasoned walnut paste (nigvziani badrijani) and adjaruli khachapuri, plus some salmon with capers (not pictured) as an appetizer.

With a lil champagne/mimosa.

Happy new year, friends.

Hopefully better than 2024

Food recs always welcome.

Tia B's La Waffleria is obviously the top.

The other dog Could Not Care Less about TV sounds but God help you if you open a bag of chips from two counties away.

New Arms Control Wonk Podcast episode up! Ankit Panda and @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social hang out by the pool at the Shangri-la Dialogue to discuss competing visions of security architectures, the near absence of DPRK nuke talk, and about Jeffrey's new nine-dash line.

IMD was a way to hammer the point home to industry and media that a whole hodgepodge of components were being used by Iranians in missiles and, in particular, drones, for their intermediaries in Yemen.
