@jalefkowit 2024 was the year I had a manager who ignored his entire team and just talked to his ChatGPT app for the entirety of quarterly planning

@MisuseCase yeah it took twelve years under Erdogan for the Turkish military to try a coup and it… didn’t go well for them

@jalefkowit if took two years to get from the Gulf of Tonkin to the first undocumented fragging incidents; the USS Forrestal fire was 1969
