17 years of partnership & love will continue in my memory. RIP Mandoo. 2009-2026.

@Dunetsk I don’t think most would survive the past week at full tilt.

I think most american men would willingly die to experience a sense of purpose and camaraderie this deep

@ClimbingCoachX He posted up when it happened. I’m sure Mikey remembers.

Sometimes I think about the guy in the unicorn suit. Where is he now? What is he doing with his life? Does he have a family? Does his wife know? Do his kids know? Does he still have the suit or did he sell it? Was selling it harder than he expected? Did he cry a little? Did he buy it back? I want a 6-part Netflix documentary. I need to hear his origin story. I need to know what he was thinking in the exact moment before he put it on. I need a therapist on camera explaining what it means. I need his third grade teacher saying "honestly, looking back, the signs were there."

@Dunetsk I thought it might blow up nicely.

@4GrahamWilliams The primary ConOps for this thing is vey obviously running people down and breaking their legs

I wish they had been doing the demo of this at SOF Week.

@Asst_to_the_RM I’m sorry.

For 13 years you have been the goodest of girls. All around the world you were a giant part of our family. You are missed, but never forgotten. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to say goodbye in person girl.

@BradDuplessis No plates, way too low, the wrong size and over all crap fit.

@LiteralSheridan I call it “batshitism”

@LiteralSheridan Better than loosing it to convention centers and LARPing on the waterfront of Tampa.

Flying home from Tampa is one of the great pleasures in life.

Waiting for the 160th to do the thing. Always an exciting demo, and much more real than the loudest jet I’ve ever heard on the human jet pack thing.

@SpiesVespers I pick myself lol!

PICK YOUR FAVORITE STUYVESANT HIGH SCHOOL ALUM A) Poser Beastie Boy Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz: didn't attend Stuy but wore the shirt. B) Lucy Liu: Actress. Class of 1986 C) Legendary CIA officer George Kisevalter: graduated around 1925/1926

@OPTester_Chris Zola is great. I miss my pup every day.

Beautiful all gender bathroom after security in PDX. Next stop…94°. The almost snow this morning felt great.

@benmoores2 @TheLundyProject I was last there 20 years ago. Sadly no photos. Castle Williams on Governor’s Island in NY Harbor is an amazing place to wander around. Sadly, I don’t think it’s open to the public. So no photos from me…

@4GrahamWilliams @TheLundyProject Tried to go but got done by the Arab spring.

7/Nakhal Fort, Oman: I've been to nearly all of Oman's forts. Bahla is UNESCO. Al Mirani is grand. Nakhal wins, — perfect for enthusiastic exploration, just grab an old musket and man the walls. Go for a swim after in the wadi outside in a picture book setting.

@TheLundyProject @benmoores2 It is absolutely my #1 as well. Truly a remarkable site.

@benmoores2 Krak des Chevaliers: numero uno for me. I visited in 2005. The scale, situ and condition are breathtaking.

@bigseb31213 @benmoores2 Rumeli Hisar and the one across the strait are both excellent. I heard they renovated Rumeli Hisar since I was hanging out there drinking beer as a college student though.

@benmoores2 Ticonderoga in New York, Rumeli Hisari in Turkey, Falaise Castle in Normandy, and the Tower of London!

@yeroneem @benmoores2 It’s remarkable!

@benmoores2 The impregnable fortress of Rhodes of course! Suleiman the Magnificent found it so hard to conquer that the knights hospitalier were allowed to safely move to Malta. I was scrolling your list waiting for it to appear near the top!

It is amazing how little the press is willing to dissect US decline under Trump. The US got no help with Iran, was scolded on Taiwan, says it got a small Boeing deal (China has not confirmed) and Trump appeased on Chinese students, microchips, etc. Xi even insulted US power. And yet it is being reported as a modest successful event. It was a strategic failure by the US and marks a notable moment in US decline.

Exclusive at @CBSNews - Amid the Pentagon race to adapt low-cost, expendable drones, an Army explosive safety specialist warned that the military’s rush to innovate may be outpacing basic explosive safeguards—raising the risk of accidents, docs show. cbsnews.com/news/pentagon-…

@SpiesVespers I was so pissed when I found out.

Pearl Paint closed. I hate it.
