Jeff MossBalloon diplomacy
Hacker Factor@thedarktangent Is that an inflated assessment?
@hackerfactor I’m don’t think it’s just hot air!
@thedarktangent I keep thinking about how it was shot down. I can totally feel the stress that pilot was under. You can just hear him telling himself: "Don't miss the target. Don't miss the target. It's the size of three school buses and I'll never live it down. Don't miss the target."
Matt James@thedarktangent I feel like it’s primed to pop at anytime.
@mattjames Let’s not get carried away.

@thedarktangent Your soaring rhetoric is inspiring.
@adamshostack Can you feel the winds of change?
pejacoby@thedarktangent @adamshostack Such lofty aspirations, bringing diplomacy to new heights!
I do worry about the effects of inflation...
Locksmith@locksmithprime @pejacoby @adamshostack Don't pump up my ego unless you plan to bring me back down to earth!
Wow there is more material with balloons than I initially thought.
@thedarktangent now DT? After the conversation drifts here?
@thedarktangent also are you in seattle? You should crash the book launch at Ada’s on Tuesday
@adamshostack @thedarktangent @locksmithprime indeed, as if carried along by invisible forces, one can almost feel an inexorable west-to-east direction to the conversation…
Mikie@thedarktangent I notice no one in the Dod talking heads is discussing WHEN that balloon was tracked It had to get in Range of the Canadians and Alaska
Citrouille@thedarktangent i burst out laughing once a I caught wind of it.
