Matt Damon on the podcast talking … civ-mil relations? “He suddenly finds himself in charge of a bunch of civilians who don’t really recognize the chain of command.” open.spotify.com/episode/4zZnjM…

I had an idea two years ago to write about the intersection of @CMC_MarineCorps Gen. Berger’s background and the fundamental principles of Force Design 2030. It took a while, but the story is finally here, ahead of Berger’s retirement on Monday.

The Supreme Court stopped short of ending affirmative action in military service academies, in light of their "potentially distinct interests," even as it banned the practice in civilian institutions. militarytimes.com/news/your-mili…

@charlie_savage Pretty sure I dropped the Dark Side of the Rainbow factoid in your Wiki shortly after I left @JGfortwayne. Sorry?

@griner You thought that was peak awkward? Oh boy. Miss you guys. Glad you're buddies!

Also it’s surreal to think I owe @mikegruss for introducing me to both my wife AND Edd?! Mike, meeting you at our peak awkward stages in high school was a Sliding Doors moment I can barely comprehend.

@ByMikeBaker Yes! It has a stunning number of plays on Spotify.

Parents, help me make sense of something: Do your kids know the Burger King whopper jingle? Do they sing it randomly during the day? Why is this happening? How to stop?

@JenJudson This is one of those trick "how many triangles do you see" questions?

Yes the triad of triads of course. 🫠
