We are pleased to announce that after a very long wait (over 125 years!), we are preparing to start, over the next two-week period, the excavation work necessary for the Great Triumphal Arch and Military Observation Deck, at Memorial Circle on Columbia Island between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. This will be one of the Great Pieces of American Architecture, honoring the history and significance of Arlington Cemetery and befitting the most powerful Capital in the World.

@NatCon2022 100% not a widow, definitely an orbweaver in the genus Leucauge. You may be right on the Mabel Orchard Orbweaver, but without location I can't be certain. Regardless they are completely harmless and free pest control!

Remember to take the lens cap off! 📷

Roman has a “lens cap,” just like your camera, but instead of coming off, it folds out like a visor on a hat. Our deployable aperture cover has also been released, protecting Roman’s instruments from the glare of the Sun.

Under heavy escort, the USS Abraham Lincoln transited the Strait of Malacca and Singapore Strait over the weekend, en route to Thailand for a highly publicized and much-needed liberty port call. Guided-missile cruiser USS Robert Smalls led the three-ship column, with guided-missile destroyer USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. following astern of the supercarrier as she entered the South China Sea.

Multiple Thai officials have confirmed the upcoming port visit since it was first reported last week, with the flattop expected to pull into port at Laem Chabang in the coming days.

Meanwhile, America’s other two deployed carrier groups are in the Middle East enforcing the ongoing blockade as the U.S. and Iran exchange fire for the first time since July.

Navy Sounds Like It Now Wants The Air Combat Drone It Notoriously Passed Over A Decade Ago

A carrier drone with a heavy weapons capacity, long reach, and the ability to operate in heavily contested airspace is just what the junked X-47B was designed to offer.

(yes I have been waiting to write this for ten fucking years.)
