A pinniped doing open source research. Will geolocate things for fish.

🚨 BREAKING: Introducing X-70 Fractal, @NASA's newest experimental aircraft!

This crewed, modular aircraft will allow the agency to rapidly swap out internal & external payloads to help keep pushing the frontiers of aviation technology! @nasaadmin

Well, it looks like the chickens came home to roost for this Admin. Vance's statement earlier talks about the war being a disaster for his party in the midterms, but the think tanks behind it have yet to receive their proper banishment from any political circles in Washington.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

All of the neo-con pro-Israeli think tanks like @FDD and @UANI, who spent years lobbying for war in Iran, have seen their grand project blow up in their faces. A total strategic disaster that ended for them just like everyone else who tries to ride the tiger by influencing Trump.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

The only midterm election tonight compares to at this point (looking like ~8 pickups in the Senate and ~50 in the House) was the huge Republican wave in 1994 which was +8 and +54. 2006 and 2018 were small waves compared to this. A blue Tsunami at this point.

@SR_Planespotter The amount of people on my timeline trying to find and exploit the last moments of innocent people for clicks is just grotesque. Lost respect for a number of people who should know better.

Given that Iran had a lot of success shooting down slower drones and some success shooting down fast jets earlier this year, I would not want to be a part of the crew of a C-130 tasked with dropping a MOAB after they've had 7 months to build up their air defenses.

[Carla Babb @CarlaBNatSec]

Current and former official says the administration plans to strike #Iran following US elections next week. Aircraft are moving into position. MOAB use expected.

I'm just going to point out that every normal carrier deployment is bookended by an ammo onload and offload at sea. There is nothing special or unusual about the ordnance a carrier stores in its magazines being brought onboard/removed via a RAS, it happens every time.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

The Houthis recently struck a training camp of government-aligned forces causing hundreds of casualties. Mr. Grim is probably ignorant that this attack is what prompted the threats to respond in kind. FYI, the Houthi 'tribal mobilizations' being threatened here look like this.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Whoa, Saudi-backed forces in Yemen say they will now consider any public gathering a legitimate target.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

Weren't there rumors that Iran could try something themselves; it wouldn't surprise me if intelligence detecting Iran moving around launchers or other offensive assets could change the calculus about future attack plans.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

@neoStarrs @23greenpastures @FaytuksNetwork The sheer volume of people above who can't figure that out is amazing.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

@aeroscouting Disappointing but not surprising

Prediction markets and online sports gambling should all be outlawed. They just enable corruption by insiders and exploitation of people susceptible to gambling addiction.

SCOOP: Kalshi has launched an investigation into a series of suspicious trades on their platform on President Trump's selection of Katie Zacharia to be his next White House press secretary.

Zacharia was at about a 1% odds favorite to becoming press secretary prior to today's developments but at least three traders placed "yes" bets on her getting the job prior to any news of Trump selecting her.

@thebaldgeek Good luck on whatever projects or hobbies you take up next! Thanks for maintaining such a unique resource for so long.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

@TangAnZhu Shameless fearmongering that he couldn't even be bothered to write himself.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

@Osinttechnical The rendering was made to look like an SR-71 style aircraft.

There are a bunch of terrible click bait alarmist accounts who didn’t retweet but paraphrased as a quote to sound more definitive for clicks.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

There are so many of these slop accounts that people constantly retweet because they are bored and want to believe whatever sensational stuff is being repeated everywhere without any real sources.

[Alex Pfeiffer @AlexPfeiffer]

All of these massive accounts just tweeting horseshit. CNN never reported this.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

@ShorealoneFilms That's a FINN pod, probably participating in an exercise with the Navy or Marines.

[IntelWalrus @IntelWalrus]

@steffanwatkins @us_airforce @NSACyber Why would you assume the USAF is doing this rather than literally anybody else who's just bored?
