ACTUAL REAL NEWS: US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy goes on the record: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings." And now, in rebuttal, is every single person who has ever flown.

Our book editor is working on his new novel. In the end, the protagonist vanquishes his foes and retires to his luxurious home in Oak Bay where he sits in an overstuffed chair and ponders the meaning of it all. Everything before that is kind of up in the air.
