Can't wait for the hundreds of regional jets to be grounded. And the A220s?? I'm sure United, Delta, and America are super excited for this. More likely they'll apply it only to bizav if they bother to follow through. But what an ass. #avgeek

I didn’t have the Harry Potter “happiness” quote coming up in Dave Stensrud’s remarks. Well done! #AMS2026

Come learn about @accuweather.com at the #AMS2026 Career fair!

At a time of unprecedented daily scandals, this this whistleblower complaint, and the memo it reveals for the first time, breaks through for me as beyond the pale. It's the federal government conspiring in secret to subvert the Fourth Amendment. Read it here: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Indiana is so much fun to watch. Love the intensity and aggressiveness combined with spot on execution.

Fun fact: the closest frozen tundra to Chicago, IL, is Mt. Marcy in the Adirondacks of New York (700 miles away).

That’s one of the best football games I’ve ever watched. Beautiful.

"A Minneapolis couple said that ICE agents deployed tear gas... around them and their six children — the youngest only 6 months old — as they tried to maneuver their car out of a tense protest on Wednesday night." They were driving home from a son’s basketball game. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

We're getting within range of an Indiana team ... the Hoosiers, of Bloomington's Indiana University, to be clear ... putting themselves into the Best College Football Team Ever debate. Indiana, mind you. Regulation American football, to be clear

A big thanks to every pundit who dismissed as hysterical the many people sounding the alarm bells in 2015

The battle to save NCAR has faded from the headlines, but it is not over. www.eenews.net/articles/tak... Call your Congressional reps and ask them to add language explicitly protecting NCAR to the spending package: 5calls.org/issue/ncar-n...

I always appreciate the way Graff puts perspective on our current moment. This particular post is one of the best he’s written. It summarizes so much of what I and millions of others are feeling. Thanks for your continued clear-eyed journalism.

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Minnesota should move to arrest the ICE officers or CBP agents involved and prosecute, just as Idaho prosecuted the FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge.

Getting blown out by a team that didn't even make the ACC title game? Just really sad to see a spot wasted on a mid-major like Ohio State. Imagine what a winner like Iowa could've accomplished

This is essentially the plot of The Sound of Music.

This really is, as Sara says, INSANE memory-holing: Minutes after FCC Chairman Carr told Congress that the FCC "is not" an independent agency (see video below via @atrupar.com), the FCC website started getting scrubbed to remove that description.

Before the 1990s, plane crashes caused by microbursts used to kill planeloads of people fairly regularly. Dr. Ted Fujita and NCAR scientists figured out how to detect microbursts and warn pilots about them. Since then? Zero airliner crashes from microbursts.

Not nearly the most important or 50th most important point here but why is RFK jr and Duffy talking about nursing options and formula at an airport?

I have no interest in fighting about breastmilk vs formula, but I do think more dudes should realize that sometimes, moms just dont make enough milk. Babies dont latch correctly. Shit happens! In the past, they just died. But now we have formula! which is better than dying, in my humble opinion

(on a plane and catching up) Dropping BYU for yesterday but not Alabama is such a perfect chef's kiss on top of all of this. Honestly disgraceful, makes FSU's omission in 2023 look like a picnic

Watching by far the greatest moment in the 127-year history of Indiana Hoosiers football. Sure seems like conference titles still matter

If I, or any other civil servant or contractor, refused to do either of these things, let alone both, my access would be suspended & I would expect my clearance would be yanked & I’d ultimately be terminated.

How did the @nytimes.com editors let this sentence appear? "Critics have likened Mr. Trump’s approach to extortion, while others have chalked it up as a cost of doing business with this administration." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

Wild graphic on front page of WSJ.

Another day ending in y, another horrific headline by The NY Times.

I just keep thinking “Elon Musk just got a trillion dollars”

it's insanely funny for people to be talking like this about New York of all places, the city with a big metal lady in the harbor holding a sign that says "we love immigrants"

*taps sign*

Tonight is a terrible night for the aviation community. Hopefully there’s some joy in seeing the beginnings of a Christmas tree going up at LGA Terminal B.

I guess this is when we get to introduce the nation to the tale of the Bonwit Teller building: news.artnet.com/art-world/do...

Hey here’s a good framing for talking to your less terminally online friends/family who might not be as plugged into media coverage in other places

Amazing that “No kings and no Nazis” is suddenly a controversial slogan and up for debate in 2025. These are the two most basic creeds of American history.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Wait: so the President of the United States shared a video of a fake news report, rooted in a conspiracy theory, that features an AI-generated version of himself promoting a policy that…doesn’t exist?

Sorta wish Penn State had just lost 17-3

That loss in on Allar.

When doing my research for my blog post on the 1950 Smoke Pall, I found no pictures from Pennsylvania of the event. Here is a picture from Meadville posted to Facebook today! www.facebook.com/share/p/17FG...
