I was broadly familiar with the outline of the Afroman case, but I hadn’t been paying close enough attention to have watched the actual music videos he dropped throughout it. Which I’m realizing now was a mistake, because LOOK AT THIS

"A US military veteran arrested on federal conspiracy charges after participating in a June 2025 protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told the Guardian he refuses to plead guilty and is ready to face justice.

The right to protest is 'supposed to be fundamentally American', said Bajun Mavalwalla, who walked foot patrols as US army sergeant in the Horn of Panjwai, the birthplace of the Taliban and one of the most dangerous parts of Afghanistan’s Kandahar Province.

'It’s among the rights that when I joined the military, I thought I was joining to protect.'"

“A fire onboard the USS Gerald R Ford, injuring sailors and destroying 100 beds, is the latest mishap to plague the world’s largest aircraft carrier on a marathon deployment some argue has sapped crew morale. At sea for almost nine months, and currently stationed in the Red Sea to support the war on Iran, the carrier will reportedly set sail for Crete for repairs. The length of the deployment has raised questions about morale of the sailors on board and the readiness of the warship.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/18/onboard-fire-uss-gerald-ford-aircraft-carrier

“In 1917, Boiardi moved to Cleveland and worked at first at The Union Club, then became the head chef at the Hotel Winton, where he introduced a menu featuring Italian cuisine, including spaghetti dinners. His tenure at the hotel lasted until 1924, at which point he departed to establish his own restaurant, Il Giardino d'Italia (The Garden of Italy), at the intersection of East 9th Street and Woodland Avenue. The patrons of Il Giardino d'Italia frequently asked for samples and recipes of his spaghetti sauce, so he began selling it packaged in milk bottles.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ettore_Boiardi

"Lombroso’s skillfully constructed film is funny in the best and worst ways: funny because it’s in on the joke but 'funny' because of how the majority of the audience might feel embarrassed just by watching it. The director understands the humor inherent to this situation, but he also understands the sad parts, the well of male insecurity it’s all coming from — locating that especially in an OnlyFans camboy who comes to Moore after a catastrophic procedure at a rival clinic has left him with a dick full of nodules." https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/manhood-review-penis-enlargement-documentary-1235185040/

“Thirty years ago, while basking in the dawn of U.S. hyperpower, imperial policymakers liked to say that ‘superpowers don't do windows’—that is, the unglamorous, menial tasks of hegemony, which ought to be performed by client states. We are a long way from that now. The Iraq War showed that even at the height of U.S. unipolarity, there were serious political limits to the participation of partner militaries in unpopular American wars of choice. Now, at the historical end of U.S. unipolarity, there simply was never going to be any appetite to save the Americans from their own mistakes.”

Some background on the incidents Josh mentions... "The USS Cole bombing was a suicide attack by al-Qaeda against USS Cole, a guided missile destroyer of the United States Navy, on 12 October 2000, while it was being refueled in Yemen's Aden harbor. Seventeen U.S. Navy sailors were killed and thirty-seven injured." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing

A few caveats re the above: 1) This is a discussion between three people who have been steeped in Big Navy for their entire careers. The jargon comes thick and fast. 2) Minesweeping in the modern U.S. Navy has been handed off to the woeful Littoral Combat Ships, which means both these practitioners are tied into the LCS program pretty deeply. They are a smidge butthurt about how the world doesn't respect it. 3) If you are looking for a podcast about how the U.S. Navy is a terrible institution, a conversation between a defense industry trade journalist and two retired senior officers is not gonna be that

I didn't realize until Sal Mercogliano mentioned it on his most recent YouTube update that these days Chris Cavas has a podcast. Cavas has been a leading journalist covering the U.S. Navy and naval matters worldwide for decades. It looks like he's been podcasting for a few years, but the current chaos in the Persian Gulf has made informed naval perspectives of interest to many more people than they would probably otherwise be. (Which is why I mention it.) In the most recent episode he interviews two retired senior Navy officers who had specialized in minesweeping, which is extra on point. https://soundcloud.com/defaerocavasships/cavasships-podcast-mar-13-26-1
