CRUSTY MINGE posted:Sometimes I wonder about Task and Purpose. They’re legit as far as I know, I’ve been reading them for a long time. They get some wild stories. I also like that the writers often go out of their way to articulate what they don’t know, what they know, and what they suspect. My interests are usually on military projects and procurement that’s not gonna have a ton of unclassified info to read about. They’re better than Aviation Week for getting secret nuggets outta USAF/USN sources on airpower stuff. When I first started out in Intel we called Aviation Week “Aviation Leak” because hoooooly poo poo have they gotten things right on classified details or capabilities or Intel in the past. I haven’t read a copy of aviation week outside of a SCIF’s shitter while giving birth to a 2.2lb brown baby boy every morning after my 2nd Rockstar, 3rd coffee, and 4th cigarette in a long time.

Slot machines were definitely a thing in the Rammstein AFB NCO club back in the early to mid 90s, so these have been a thing for a while. I had to walk through the slot/video poker room to get to the arcade machines in the back. They had a Darkstalkers cabinet back there. edit: I'm not saying that's okay, I'm saying it's been a thing for quite some time. edit x2: I got really good at the Star Trek: TNG pinball machine in Vogelweh

Looks like the CIA has a Top Secret miniature modelling department and that has to be a wild job if it's not contracted out: https://twitter.com/mj_lee/status/1554455010079039489?t=3LcKoDsh4ivnxhCR57FaAQ&s=19 https://twitter.com/CIA/status/727605158264344577?t=ZJPA1LT_0Npzy0xZQwIF0Q&s=19 And it's primary day here - higher turnout than expected, but we're getting quite a few people on weirdo wavelengths. Not really gun-toter types, but definitely people skeptical about if/how their ballots are counted and how that's all supposed to work.

What's that, why does the model representing our targeted assassination victim have giant shoulderguards, demon horns and a gun the size of a small car? Let's not get caught up in technicalities.

Also we here are a pretty nonrepresentative sample because in addition to merely being terminally online we also had front row seats to the evolution of these trends and structures over two decades and, I'm willing to bet, many of us were each at various points much closer to falling into the rabbit hole than is entirely comfortable to reflect on.

You can now claim a fetus as a dependent for taxes in Georgia: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/georgia-residents-can-now-claim-embryos-dependents-state-taxes-rcna41111 Unforeseen consequences, nooo not like that, etc. I'm waiting for a politician being forced to pay child support at conception for their mistress.

It would be interesting to see exactly what methods of online rabble-rousing the CIA et all have used on online communities overseas that were repackaged and brought back home for use by the White Nationalist / Republican set. Or conceivably the methods they used intentionally here I guess. The CIA are bad people.

Yo this story is fuckin nuts https://twitter.com/jdavidgoodman/status/1554523971273490432?t=IYF4lJOf8j4xX7GcD9Qu6Q&s=19 County of like 60 people, but with fracking and etc they have a $27m budget. So elections are flipped by 2-3 votes, so people gently caress around with the residency requirements and/or outright lie to flip the election. And so the judge gets arrested for cattle rustling and people get arrested for residency fraud/court contempt when they report for grand juries. And now they can't put together grand juries!
