#Strategy Book Club📚Even though it’s Greek, it reminds me of my high school Latin class. Required as foundation for international relations, but please learn more quotes than “that line” every young realist uses every chance they get. #fearhonorinterest #NationalSecurity

Why I haven’t deleted this app yet:
Big thanks to everybody who let me know that the power reactor from #StarTrekTNG's "Who Watches the Watchers"↖️ (later seen in "The Vengeance Factor"↗️, "Ensign Ro"⬅️ and "Unification I"➡️) was used as the basis for the cargo pallet in the Playmates Shuttlecraft Goddard playset ⬇️. Childhood mystery solved! 😜

Circa 1999-2001, I made 5-10 cents for every book delivered in my hometown in Ohio. Not bad extra change for one week in the summer for a college kid then.
The phone company would send this GIANT book to your house (I’m talking like 8 inches thick on super thin paper) and it doxxed everyone in your town. Their address, their phone number, etc.. And they sent it to everyone in town. For free. Just because. Wild.

Breaking news: Aurora is eating peas 🫛 ☺️ While North American porcupines spend most of their time on the ground, they regularly climb trees to look for food.

🎃 THIS is a solid plan. 👻
Will spend Halloween as I do every year, eating candy and drinking wine and, while I recover from my diabetic coma, watching classic horror movies. This year: House of Dark Shadows, Dr. Phibes Rises Again, The Skull and the Karloff/Lugosi The Raven.

🎥 House Butler Movie Night. 🍿 I haven’t watched this one in a few years. Yes, the script leaves some questions here and there but (1) this actually looks like a MOVIE, and (2) Patrick Stewart’s performance is outstanding as a commander trying to keep it together after receiving devastating news.

On a previous episode of Tea with GaryVee I was asked, "Which historical figure do you think would crush it on social media today?"

💻️ New tactics for old operations: "According to the report, both the Russian and Iranian campaigns went beyond fake social media accounts, using seemingly independent organizations to spread their messages." "What is most striking about these operations is that they closely resembled complex influence operations of the pre-AI age, but used AI to make some of the workflows easier," OpenAI said. therecord.media/openai-disru…
