@FXSpottrader @rushisaband I was at that same Frankfurt meet and greet! What a great show! Got my backstage pass because Alex had to cancel a M-n-G with US soldiers I was hosting due to the Munich cancel.

I visited Camp Humphreys, the largest American military base outside the US. It is located in South Korea, and is a vital expression of the alliance between Washington and Seoul. But the nature of that partnership is shifting.

@jkimballcook @mixtapegen80s - this is right in your wheelhouse!

@jkimballcook Those socks on the right by themselves are a force to be contended with. And as a peak-GenXer, I still wear the boat shoes on the left. All that's missing is a Members Only jacket. #Make80sFashionGreatAgain

@Manhattva @jkimballcook Sorry, 18 USC 2441 would disagree. War crimes are not only violation of international law, but U.S. law, as well.

[Russell M. Nelson @NelsonRussellM]

“As one of the special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world, I testify that He is the Son of the living God. Jesus is the Christ—our atoning Savior and Redeemer. This is His Church, restored to bless God’s children and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord.” —Russell M. Nelson (1924–2025).

@jackwgreenberg Back in the late ‘80s, at the beginning of the Roh administration, I used to walk past that place at least once a week when going from Namyeong Station to the USO at Camp Kim. Scarry dudes in grey puffy jackets would stare us down as we walked on by.

@tjm585 By 1952, my mother and her family had to go through a formal immigration process to get here from Switzerland and follow a series of rules. Times change.

@jkimballcook @JonbrownLVNV @bmariner I have done that from time to time, especially for heavy or complex callings. Sometimes I’m vague and sometimes we have a frank conversations. But when the Spirit clearly says “call Bro/Sis X,” I move out and have faith it will work out. Haven’t been disappointed.

@tjm585 I wish him luck and recommend he get good professional liability insurance.

@ajthelawyer @johnkonrad This highlights the problem of our current info systems construct. We cannot have real-time high level conversations unless the participants are tied down to a desktop in a SCIF. Signal (and Wickr) are terrible solutions.
