Bussin' on tempura while sleeping on Raising Cane's is hypocritical behavior.

Ok avgeeks…. Let’s play a game. Admit something you are embarrassed to admit you don’t know about aviation and our hive mind will answer it. I will go first: I have no idea what fly-by-wire actually means.

PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST This morning, I got the call no one ever wants to get. My brother suddenly passed away; I am looking to raise funds to help my family with the funeral costs, as well as putting some aside for his son and girlfriend. Anything helps. ko-fi.com/pawfootprodu...

I encourage others to write to their senate/assembly person on this, for as much as Newsom likes to mean girl meme the administration, we should be LOUD to representatives of our state government to not allocate state funding to a company ran by a man who's interests have been shown to be malicious

I have bad new about the political leanings of 80% of commercial pilots being "forced" to do this.

This is — or should be — true of airline reviews as well. Regrettably, it all too often is not. That's one of the reasons why I started @theupfront.media. My latest: theupfront.media/onboard-leve...

"Just the two of us" puts me in a slight bemused mood whenever I hear it. It's deeply associated with therianism for me. It may not be a large part of my life, nor is it something I'm even remotely certain of, but the context of this song always gives me a small internal chuckle. Art by Ocdraco

🗣️ Starbucks workers have been on strike FOR NEARLY AS LONG AS WE WERE SHUT DOWN I remember the stress I felt as the days wore on, yet I can only imagine how it must feel for these baristas! These workers deserve better pay and better hours. Period. Return to the table, corporate cowards!

MILP - man I love pickles

It feels like all too many people are still unaware 🗣️ STARBUCKS BARISTAS HAVE BEEN ON STRIKE FOR OVER A MONTH DO NOT BUY STARBUCKS "Yeah, but my store's not striking" "My stores non-union" DO NOT BUY A N Y STARBUCKS PRODUCT ALL STORES ARE A "STRIKING STORE"

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT GOD AYGH FUCKING

I am REALLY lost as to how a car ended up falling off a truck CROSSED A BRIDGE and landed on the BART tracks

"There's something missing...."

Solidarity to our striking baristas in Atlanta, GA! We're 15 days into our national ULP strike 💪 Baristas are on strike in over 65 cities, demanding: higher pay, better hours, & an end to union busting. Until Starbucks brings us NEW proposals, you’ll see us on the picket line. #NoContractNoCoffee

Hurricane Melissa, Oct. 2025. Breaking through the eyewall of one of the strongest Category 5 storms in history. 250+ mph winds, extreme turbulence, and dangerous g-forces — but this is the moment we’ve trained for. 🎨: @zorrito.bsky.social

There's two games my group does not play anymore Machi Koro and this

Rather than address how & why politics has infected the FAA, the WaPo suggests waving a magic wand with privatization & making it all go away. In this administration, where pardons are for sale, this is not a smart idea. Far cheaper to remove politics. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I have had an expensive bottle of SOMETHING WITH BUBBLES chilling since January for when IT HAPPENS.

Any pilot who allows this on board is a piece of shit.

They weren’t 18 or 19! They were GROWN men fucking 15 year olds.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Good grief. There were 23 stopgap funding bills for the FAA starting in 2008. Funding cuts have hit the agency for decades, including pauses on hiring of….wait for it….air traffic controllers. This committee will do nothing more than performative politicking about flight safety.

the government has reopened

The Federal Aviation Administration is completely in thrall to DOT. The FAA Admin is nothing more than Sean Duffy’s assistant at this point. He must be back in the office waiting for the boss to let him speak.

I can not stress enough how wrong it is to politicize flight safety. Last summer at OshKosh FAA Admin Bedford said no one in the Biden admin cared about aviation; now we have this from Duffy. This attitude turns safety into a concept to be owned for political gain. It’s dangerous & pathetic.

If you've got clear skies to the north tonight, you'll most likely be able to catch a glimpse of the aurora from most anywhere in the US! Really popping off tonight!

Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days? It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

Not only do I never, ever want any of DJT's dirty money Making him mad is more happiness than $10,000 could ever get me

Okay, since I've seen similar questions about stuff like this multiple times in the last couple weeks, I'm going to make a thread explaining it. /1

(we see him)

Oh no, the gen Z airline pilots have arrived.

And that's record broken 42 Staffing Triggers #FAA #ATC #aviation #avgeek #shutdown

For reference, last week's was a new record (at least for during the shutdown) 39 facilities with staffing triggers No surprise, as it was Halloween
