Tulsi Gabbard is actually La Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus's character in the Marvel movies, who the Director of the CIA). This makes so much sense.

For the life of me, I have no clue why a corporate entity would consult him, of all people, about its taxes. He wasn’t a college graduate, never mind an accountant or tax lawyer. I don’t get it. (Cc: @omrimarian.bsky.social)

A POTUS craving attention, an administration infused with Schadenfreude & grievance and a media desperate for clicks. 1. POTUS floats insane idea 2. Media amplifies it 3. Reasonable people are horrified 4. The horror makes the admin happy, they egg on POTUS. 5. Repeat 6. Insane idea becomes policy

If true, it should be exhibit A in a Selective and Vindictive Prosecution Motion for Nakema Levy Armstrong

Here's a crazy statistic. It's coming up on 6 years since COVID, and the number of COVID deaths in New York City after 6/30/20 is *STILL* less than the number of COVID deaths before that date. That's how bad it was in NYC at the beginning of COVID. www.cdc.gov/covid/php/su...

Not the point at all but he also looks like he's Jeremy Renner rebooting The Shield. bsky.app/profile/gayk...

Kristi Noem uses tax dollars to buy the same plane Jeff Bezos owns, replacing one the government bought less than 5 years ago. The G550-derived C-37B is built on a platform used around the US military, from C-37B's to the EA-37B and NC-37B for airborne early warning and electronic surveilance.

I do wonder if coverage of the Maduro raid will shift in tone as we start to hear stories about the thousands of Americans stranded in the Caribbean due to the airspace closures. Filed under “There’s always an aviation angle” h/t @jonostrower.com

I could use some help from #birdsky identifying this guy. At first I was sure it was a Red tailed hawk, but then I wasn’t so sure. Juvenile bald eagle? #bird #birds

This looks like something @ivanthek.bsky.social would be interested in.

This morning my nieces claimed their US Citizenship in South Florida. Even though they claimed as the daughters & grand-daughters of US Citizens, they received naturalization certificates. What this admin is doing takes what should be a very happy day and makes it bittersweet. This isn’t who we are.

Is AA preparing another special livery? N729AN is heading for KGUS, which is where N735AT got painted (cc: @xjonnyc.bsky.social) www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...

I know it’s only early December, but with 29 days left in the year, I’m at 104K miles flown, across 22 different aircraft types. Highlights include the 747-8 and Twin Otter. I’ve flown 5 different variants each of 737 and A320 families. #avgeek

8 days, 6 flights, 6 airlines, 8 airports, and 11,910 miles. I’m home.

Where'd the T2 data go? Someone has got some explaining to do....

This is why health insurance is fundamentally different to property and casualty insurance. In a best-case scenario, the latter never get's used. With the former, you should be using it, at bare minimum, for annual check-ups which will ideally catch issues early and prevent large claims.

You know what would be really funny (and perhaps effective?) is if someone made a tombstone for the Presumption of Regularity and left it on the steps of the Supreme Court.

This is absurd for a number of reasons, chiefly that the C-37B these planes are replacing was delivered in July 2022. The C-37B is based on the Gulfstream G550 while the C-37A is based on the GV. They serve across the US gov't and the USAF recently started receiving G550 derived EA-37B's.

Not surprising for anyone who’s watched the Flair and Bonza sagas.

Tell me you have no idea about how real estate and finance work without tell me you have no idea how real estate and finance work. The receiver's job is to preserve the building and the lender would much rather have it full of tenants than be completely vacant. DHS didn't do Wells Fargo any favors.

A mallard duck struggles for its life as an unseen predator (most likely a snapping turtle) attempts to drag it beneath the surface to a watery death.

American Airlines is a debt-laden, giant zombie of an airline. Too big to fail but too ungainly to grow, it is the result of a merger that should have never happened, and whose biggest driver was Doug Parker’s megalomania. Change my mind…

Agree. Avoid CDG like the plague.

If we're going to give it the full French treatment, shouldn't it be 'L'Affaire Kimmél'?

Apropos of nothing, many years ago I decided that I was never going to say something to someone on social media that I would not say to their face. I feel like this has served me well.

Re-upping this thread. 49 USC § 44114(b) only applies to airplanes owned by individuals, so how it can apply to the 747 that the Qataris gave the US government is quite a mystery. So I ask again: Who Is The Plane's Actual Owner? #WITPAO

Someone has a sense of humor. The registration N7508 used to belong to an AA MD-82. Now it belongs to a VistaJet Global 7500
