Good morning

I was part of the first cohort of folks to transition in the military after the Carter policy in 2016. Now my career is being cut short This is far from the greatest injustice in the US today, but I'm still angry I want to talk a bit about what that's been like, if only to help me process it 🧵

when i was in middle school my friend was like trying to show me the LOTR movie and she was like "there's a bunch of hot guys in here" and i was like oh yeah frodo's beautiful eyes and curly hair. and then i was corrected that i was supposed to be attracted to legolas

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

Hey guys, everyone has been great at welcoming me to the team, really appreciate it. Now, I’m new to the secret society world, but: is there a reason we spend so much money hiding our symbol everywhere? It just seems counterproductive and was like 20% of the budget last FY. Is this a best practice?

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.
