I’d watched a few episodes of Euphoria before the third season, not really a fan. But the third season sucked me in, I have no attachment to these characters and it still kinda got me.

Bad.

The viper looks amazing no matter what, but holy cow.

Yeahhhh. Billionaires have had their fun. It’s time to get the private sector out of directly operating spaceflight.

Just ordered myself a tennis racket for the first time in years. Might even mess around and join a team at some point. Given I was a 3 year varsity tennis player it’s about time I give it a shot as an adult.

It’s useful to remember that the cognitive tests he’s taking are aimed at detecting illness the way an STI test might look for venereal disease.

Might go test drive a Lexus tomorrow. Didn’t think of myself as a Lexus person. But also never thought I’d buy a Lincoln, and I do that too.

2026 in a nutshell.

I usually watch Band of Brothers around Memorial Day. As I mentioned a few days ago, I switched it up this year, just finished Masters of the Air rewatch. Still highly recommend it.

Oof. My phone, for whatever reason, decided just now to show me my photos from March 2020 at JFK, as I was doing a station audit right when the pandemic kicked off. I’m only spiraling a little 👌🏻

We’re trying to figure out how this agenda is meaningfully different from the “Sharia law” conservatives keep fearmongering about.

Decided to do a Masters of the Air rewatch. Maybe not my best decision, but man, I definitely tend to be a bigger fan than the critics.

CLEVELAND

Sheesh. Biocontainment was needed after all. Happy to be a small part of the team making it happen.

You all know I’m a night owl. But usually I’m at least winding down by now. Tonight I’m wired af

Well now you all see what kept me busy last week

I’ve been Hilton-loyal for a while, for no particular reason. I’m staying at in Intercontinental tonight for my first time ever. Service seems amazing. Anyone got opinions on IHG vs Hilton? Just curious

First baby gear for the niece-to-be arrived.

It’s officially too cold in the Great Lakes for May. I’ve hit the Atlantic and Pacific this year, which is great, but I need my readily available Third Coast.

The MD-11s:

The gray pixels were my favorite. Except when I had to deice it. That tail was really hard to see snow/ice/frost on sometimes.

Battle of Lake Erie in the NBA! (I hardly pay attention to basketball at all, but still)

Big yikes.

Trump has immense confidence in state ownership of the means of production... that's called communism.

Did a little photo digging for this one.

Anywho…I’ll be here if anyone needs me. (In all seriousness, this shit just makes me sad. But if any Spirit people want to talk my DMs are open)

BREAKING: Spirit Airlines officially ceases operations, begins wind-down process after 43 years in business

Anywho…I’ll be here if anyone needs me. (In all seriousness, this shit just makes me sad. But if any Spirit people want to talk my DMs are open)

Annnnd I cried. Why am I crying.

Say what you will about Spirit as a business, but as the end appears to draw near, remember too that it's a business made up of a ppl whose rent, mortgage payments, groceries and healthcare came from being a Spirit employee.

Best photo I ever took of a Spirit bird. Godspeed.

Damn www.reddit.com/r/aviation/s...

11,000 people, give or take, out of a job overnight. Agreed, it sucks.

I’m just so damn sad about Spirit. Wishing the best for all their employees, especially the crews away from home tonight.

My sister’s birthday is Mother’s Day-adjacent and I am FRANTICALLY buying semi-matching gifts tonight.

REACH is Air Mobility Command. Super weird.

I looked at *one* baby clothes site for my niece on the way and now I’m getting like 80% baby clothes ads.

Paramedics are maybe the occupation I respect more than any other. Top 3 at least. And given a good chunk of them in the U.S. (including both where I live and where I work) are also firefighters—even more so.

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe

Good for another year! First time doing an ETOPS flight for my proficiency check…the times are changing!

I hadn’t even thought of it that way, but holy shit what a good point.

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

This is such a flagship moment for where America is right now. Gun violence, showmanship, celebrity, mass confusion, and also according to C-SPAN, people are opening the bottles of wine still on the tables.

This…kinda makes sense.

Cannot stop my brain tonight. It’s doing Mach something.

I don’t think I can forgive M83 for letting “Outro” be used in Universal Orlando commercials. That song deserves so much better.

Guy who actually was a U.S. Navy aviator, flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm, was a test pilot and astronaut who went into space versus a draft dodger who faked bone spurs to avoid Vietnam

I don’t think controllers need their jobs to be “easier”, we just need adequately staffed control towers, incremental upgrades in software and equipment, and investment for the future. But nope, AI will save us. 🙄

I always knew they were a fuckin’ clown show.
