Posted to MastodonIs a Military Coup Unfolding at the Pentagon?
With a record number of B-2 bombers and two aircraft carriers deployed in the region, the military is doing what it does, which is to be ready when the President and the Secretary of Defense gives the order.

Same Chris, same.
The web is the best platform. The web is a combination of languages and technologies that congeal into experiences for people. It’s not controlled by any one company. It’s not implemented in any one exact way. It’s available to everyone and every company that wants to use it. It’s by everyone for everyone. I really hope it preserves.
