Tali-bro fest is official. Who’s up for a beard measuring contest? npr.org/2021/09/21/103…
"As of 1 September 2021, there are 26 women serving as Heads of State and/or Government in 24 countries. At the current rate, gender equality in the highest positions of power will not be reached for another 130 years" unwomen.org/en/what-we-do/…
The Tali-Tubbies are having too much fun running Afghanistan to let women spoil the whole thing.
Some Indian rag kindly stole my original intro to the Afghanistan chapter in an ancient edition of my Worlds' Most Dangerous Places book. Not much has changed. hinduwebsite.com/general/afghan…

Gen Z is so screwed. wsj.com/articles/digit…
There are a number of books that examine the addictive nature of social media. A deliberately Pavlovian tool designed to absorb attention. Most blame the user for the addiction. You can modify your use and tools to be less disruptive. theguardian.com/global/2021/au…
Turn off all audio or sensory alerts. Delete all mailing lists. Disable your tracking feature. Turn off all access to all your apps (including Siri) and use the device when you are ready, not when it interrupts you. Get primitive. amazon.com/Banana-Phone-W…

My buddy Mike GoRucking some squids. I don't see the attraction in misery for hire but they have fun. It's a Judeo Christian concept that extended physical misery combined with sleep deprivation and abuse will change one. Major religions are based on 40 days of deprivation.
At age 10 I went to a boys school that became famous for killing kids and bringing one back from the dead. We studied stuff like Latin and voyageur French. James Raffan argues that killing kids or almost killing them to make them tougher is silly. I agree. quillandquire.com/review/deep-wa…
I had fun doing some SEAL and SF training and quickly learned that some enjoy challenge, others not so much. Add some morally ambiguous mental challenges, impossible odds and life threatening situations and I'm your huckleberry. businessinsider.com/robin-sage-is-…

Leopard Lady and St Rudy Stigmata are in trouble. But you already knew that. nytimes.com/2021/09/21/us/…
Between Donnies Four Seasons Total Fraud Guarantee elite strike force and Mr Pillow Rapture Secret Voting Code that’s about $5 billion of excess profits for Dominion. Not to mention theft of federal data charges and just being dragged around for general stupidity.
Lotta new openings in the “former lawyer” industry. theguardian.com/us-news/2021/s…

Who wants to tell Erik that they didn't do a good job of hiding his plane in Cyprus after they fled Jordan. Wrong aircraft in photo BTW knews.kathimerini.com.cy/en/news/myster…
Cyprus is T7 SAW (deregistered) aka S2R-H80 c/n H80-156DC. A two seater made in 2014-05-16 formerly N62080. When Erik pimped his homemade war plane in Malta, San Marino cancelled the registry. 2R-H80 H80-161DC aka LZ SAX 2014-06-23 formerly N62082, was/is still hidden in Uganda
Erik dumped both his Thrush toys for ten bucks each after he got sweated for ITAR violations and then Uganda one magically popped up on Google Earth at Nakasongola. Funny about that.

“It is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong." - John Maynard Keynes
We are entering a Neo Keynesian age of mega debt and expectations of fabulous growth. It should scare the shit out of us. We need America to brain drain the globe and surf the world to financial triumph. Or else.
We are taught to keep a tight rein on debt and save for the future. Rich people however use debt to save on taxes. Is the the USG just a spoiled rich kid living off other people’s money?

Let's keep going: "The order was stunning: All U.S. military forces were to be withdrawn from Somalia by Dec. 31, 2020. All U.S. forces were to be withdrawn from Afghanistan by Jan. 15, 2021.

What the fuck is this? Miller wondered." axios.com/off-the-rails-…
"John McEntee handed retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor a piece of paper with notes scribbled on it. "This is what the president wants you to do."

1. Get us out of Afghanistan.

2. Get us out of Iraq and Syria.

3. Complete the withdrawal from Germany.

4. Get us out of Africa
This is how the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan was triggered. On November 9, 2020, after Trump knew he lost the election he signed a memo ordering all troops out of all combat zones with zero regard for safety, consequences or impact on our nation.
