Where's the damn podcast?
That is 100% on me. I am steadfast in no more work after 01:00 hours local time, and yesterday's SITREP wasn't complete until shortly after 01:00 hours. That means no one to sign off on the script. Working on a solution. The challenge is as more and more OSINT accounts give up, get deleted by social media, or are canceled for the right or wrong reasons, the intelligence gathering for us keeps getting longer and longer. Israel-Hamas has not been an issue for the last week due to the cease-fire.
