Yeahhh I think I’ve had it. No more social media apps for me. ✌🏻

The Christmas shopping I did today and the pizza+beer I bought myself for lunch is carrying the weight right now

2025 can go f itself. That is all.

Doomsday bird

This week’s Landman episode somehow found several things I identify with and I am now an emotional puddle.

WTF was that call?!?! #Lions

Holiday Inn it is!

4+ inches of snow tomorrow afternoon-night in Southeast Michigan…Sounds like a night at the Holiday Inn on the company (I hope) 😆

Feels kinda conservative-coded just to say it, but man, Landman is so damn good.

Took myself to brunch. Went to the park and got my steps in. Ordered a new dresser (been in this place over a year, finally got a dresser…). I feel like I can count on my fingers the number of days I’ve felt normal like this in 2025. ✨done rambling for tonight✨

I love the idea, but in practice, it just looks odd. Given it was meant for an aircraft a fraction of that size…

I 100% said something about this being a bad idea when I still had a respectableTwitter following.

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

I am not excited for Jeppesen to change ownership.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

The Ronald Reagan Ontario ad playing during the World Series 😱

I’m in a position to buy a brand new car for the first time in my life. I leased a couple new ones in my 20s but that doesn’t count. Test drove a fully loaded hybrid Honda CR-V today and kinda loved it. Just seems like such a boring car 🤔

Updating my LEGO White House

Haven’t posted in almost a month, so just FYI I’m alive. A lot of family stuff going on and such. Here’s an airplane and a Goodyear blimp for your time reading this

I’ve been more scatterbrained, anxious, and messy mentally for the past few weeks than I’ve been since maybe mid-pandemic. Late 2020ish. But yesterday+today’s shifts might’ve been the serotonin boost I’ve been needing.

Murder rates for 2024 per 100,000 ppl 1. Birmingham, AL: 58.8 2. St. Louis, MO: 54.0 3. Memphis, TN: 40.6 4. Baltimore, MD: 34.7 5. Detroit, MI: 31.1 6. Cleveland, OH: 30.0 7. Dayton, OH: 29.6 8. Kansas City: 27.5 10. DC: 25.4 22. Chicago: 17.4 88. L.A.: 6.9 127: NY: 3.9

The “North Coast” has been pretty solid the past few days. The Ohio haters don’t actually know what they’re talking about.

I know he’s not everyone’s favorite, but I’ve worked for him, Republic is a really great organization. I’m eager to see what he can do. Probably the only positive thing I’ll ever say about the federal government under this administration.

Perfect for late night half-watching, half-ignoring. It goes on forever.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

my moment has arrived

never misses

All these alpha males are the biggest bunch of babies who ever walked the face of the planet.

MSFS is dangerous. It’s making me want to learn to fly helicopters.

Ooo the -8s don’t show up on USTRANSCOM stuff that often. Hopefully sometime soon the 777-300ERSF will

Looooong 4 shifts. I’m tired. 🌋

Crew scheduling out of context: “we’re not gonna replace him just because he lost his pants”

😵‍💫

🌋🚨 Klyuchevskoy is erupting and that is a problem for transpacific air traffic. Here’s traffic now (with current and forecast ash cloud locations) compared to same time last week. Flights are re-routing, with some now requiring a fuel stop.

Yep. Tomorrow’s gonna be fun, too.

Did I spend $50 on an MSFS add-on that my poor little PC can barely handle just so I could play around with a realistic coast guard helicopter? Maybe.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

this may literally be the one subject on the planet on which everyone is aligned in this way I’m not sure you could get these poll numbers with “the sky is blue” or “two plus two equals four”

Me trying to convince myself that I actually should buy a new car in the next few days

Today was what I call a throwaway day. First day off, I slept for the vast majority of it. Accomplished an hour or so of cleaning and one load of laundry. Had some pizza. Topping it off with some wine and a movie.

God I miss the days when social media (Twitter, mostly) could just be aviation geeks being aviation geeks. I’ll never quite understand how I got THOUSANDS of followers on Twitter. But anytime I could post something the avgeeks liked it would make my day, and probably my week+ Rant over, carry on.

Couldn’t hurt

Makes me want to throw things.

Blows my mind that they retired these things.

I hate it here. On an average day I’m awake right now. But I’d rather not be.

✨Leave your fucking bags✨

Aw, man. I think I might be skipping #SpotLAX2025. Missed the window for the Friday party and I was already planning on leaving on a redeye on Saturday.

She really does exist! Wheels down at YIP!

I swear to god all I want in life is a Mulder-Scully relationship.
