any one of these would've been like a full blown scandal in any other unit (John Chapman alone should've been enough to get them abolished) but it's just Tuesday in NSW

Also this list is missing Logan Melgar, as well as the SEAL who stabbed some random guy in the face on the Santa Monica Pier
John Chapman, operation red wings, task force bruiser, the money in the maersk Alabama lifeboat, Linda Norgrove, Eddie Gallagher, why do we need these guys again?

Me: “Hey, did someone happen to turn in a lost Nalgene?”

Front desk worker: “Yes, in fact. Can you describe it?”

“It’s blue, has a sticker that says ‘Maidenless’ on it.”

[laughs] “That’s yours?”

“Listen, it’s an Elden Ring reference.”

“Do you think that makes it cooler?”

I guess one lesson of Sicario is that the war on drugs is, at its foundation, the ultra-cynical management of illicit narcotics flows through the protection/co-optation of “favored” drug lords while taking an (at least public) hardline against the rest. Looks like folks have taken that to heart!

Found this 1911 image of a Trojan horse while I was browsing historic illustrations the other day. Cleaned it up and stuck it on a shirt, because why not? Available on the shop (link in bio).

Here to serve your Angleton art needs 🫡

So cool to see this out in the world!

I did start a second Angleton design, but I’m currently experimenting with ways to have fun with it without inadvertently triggering Mcarthyism 2.0…Angleton in moderation.

They will pretend it’s fine because that’s what they were taught to do
Like this internal report is from August. They know the risks. How much longer can it go on? Or will military leadership simply go on pretending things are all right until they very truly aren’t?
