Hey @ USAFA PAO, buddy. You are aware there is such a thing as optics…because the optics here are REALLY bad.

Wrong.
What is new is they are bringing in social media “influencers” who shill, literally, for a political party. Besides being illegal they are not terribly good at it.
Note the SGE comments below.
SGE are nothing new, but what is new is that the ones being brought in are competent, focused, and moving a lot of things many though could only be moved by them, not by “those people”.
That is why you are seeing the reaction. The establishment antibodies are reacting because they are experiencing pressure unseen in decades, if ever.

Great news: we already have CRADAs, Strategic Partnership Projects, SBIR/STTR, user-facility agreements, technology licensing, cooperative agreements, OTAs, and other vehicles specifically designed for private-sector experts to work with government on R&D and technology transition.
I do it myself through a research relationship with Los Alamos.
What none of those programs are designed to do is turn a private-sector expert into an online provocateur whose job is to push internal agency messaging, pick fights on social media, and act as an unofficial communications surrogate.
Public-private technical collaboration is valuable. Government-sponsored trolling is not a technology-transfer program.
We *should* have a means for smart people in the private sector to lend their expertise and experience on a short term basis, regardless of whether you hate their politics, without being threatened w/ death or professional ruin.

The Zoo earned its stripes – not once, but twice! 🐯🐯
Join us in welcoming the littlest pair of critically endangered Sumatran tiger cubs –– Barani and Malu!
The births represent a lot of firsts for the Zoo, as these two girls are the first Sumatran tiger cubs born in Fort Worth Zoo history, the first cubs born in the renovated Predators of Asia & Africa tiger habitat, which opened in 2023, and the first tiger cubs of any species born at the Zoo in nearly two decades.
There are fewer than 650 Sumatran tigers left in the wild, primarily due to habitat loss and deforestation, making these births especially important for the species' conservation. The renovated habitat allowed the Zoo to renew its conservation focus for this species. The Zoo participates in a cooperative Sumatran tiger breeding program with other North American zoos to ensure a genetically diverse, healthy population of this subspecies, which the two new cubs will contribute to.
Born on July 1 to first-time mother Ndari and father Rakan, these sisters have spent the past 12 weeks growing and bonding with mom behind the scenes, while keepers keep a close eye on their growth and development – which includes milestones like learning to jump, play, run and climb.
As the first cubs born in the new habitat, zookeepers want to be sure Barani and Malu are big and strong enough to navigate their public habitat. The Zoo is hopeful the cubs will make their public debut shortly. Keep an eye on our social channels and website for more updates!

Futures Command is Dead! Long live Futures Command!
Under @POTUS’s leadership and @SecWar’s direction, we are crushing bureaucratic inertia to forge the U.S. Army Futures and Autonomous Systems Command. By prioritizing autonomy across our formations, acquisitions, and training, we are delivering lethal capabilities straight into the hands of our warfighters to dominate the future battlefield.

“Talented private citizen” is doing a heroic amount of work here. You’re a professional provocateur who begged for a government title. Hope this helps.
“I do want to say I’m disappointed by how Special Government Employees, not just myself, have been treated in public discourse. The SGE program exists so that talented private citizens can serve their country.”
And you have served 🇺🇸 well. Thank you!

Butlerian J̶i̶h̶a̶d̶ Crusade
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Joining the holy crusade against AI on the side of the Catholics
That’s a sentence that would have deeply confused me five years ago

This is for a few of my mutuals. If you had asked ANYONE on 1 March 2026 and told them this was in the news on 1 October 2026 they would have said we are losing/lost the war.
No need to reply.
Iranian forces struck another oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz while it transited the US-protected lane -UKMTO
The tanker caught fire, with the crew reported safe. This is the fifth tanker Iran has struck this week.

Hostile Fire Pay and Imminent Danger Pay getting a raise to a total of $725/month kinda makes you think the war isn’t going anywhere.
There will always be signs.

Just like Maga is incapable of remembering that it was Trump who was President during the Covid shutdowns in 2020.... it was also Trump who ran not just on "No New Wars!" but Republicans explicitly used lines like "Kamala will start a war with Iran if you don't vote for us!"

I was just talking about this elsewhere. Broadly speaking the defense/FP experts were in or at least adjacent to the GOP tent. Trump ejected us, apparently deliberately, and replaced us with populists.
Populists can’t find Malacca on a globe much less understand why they should.
The important thing to understand about @USWPColby is that his only motivation is to be a somebody, and he hitched onto Trump/MAGA because everyone actual serious and smart realized he’s a midwit whose beliefs were internally contradictory.
He’s a nametag chaser, nothing more.

If war colleges spend more time on drones and AI, something else loses hours. History and strategy are the wrong place to cut. warontherocks.com/school-of-…
