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/...

Did the hamsters go on strike again @petchmo.bsky.social?

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.

One time I was subpoena'd in a divorce case on the other side of the country. A party served an attorney by e-mail. Who isn't my attorney.

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.

It’s a night for one of these. @lawfaremedia.org @shaneharris.bsky.social @joedefeo.bsky.social

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

Horrible violence in Utah. Political violence, if that is the motive, is an aggressive cancer that kills us all.

Why do Orbi routers fail within about 2.5 years? Also how on earth does a new router choke on wired connections? This is insanely infuriating.

“I am a small business owner, minority, and strong believer in the MAGA movement. I am firing myself and shutting down my business because I’m worried some might see me as a DEI hire.” @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

1/ I've been watching @radiofreetom.bsky.social spar with people over the last few days, and I think he and his respondents are talking past each other. I could be wrong, but I don't think Tom takes issue with the actual positions espoused by the left. What is at issue is the jargon that is used by

Thomas Frank, welcome to the history of the Tottenham 😔

Big revisions come from low initial response rates. BLS was working on increasing response rates, but the Trump administration fired the voluntary committee working on it.

An ✈️ 🧵 Every airplane has a registration number. Civil aircraft get them from their country's civil aviation regulator. In the US, registrations begin with the letter "N". Every civil aircraft has an N-number. Some government owned planes do too. For example, the Dept of Justice has 2 Boeing 757's

I wrote this for @runwaygirl.com almost 10 years ago. Since then, every single airline mentioned in this article has moved to off-the-shelf products. None of this stopped Lufthansa group from doing the largest "Hold my beer" imaginable. runwaygirlnetwork.com/2015/10/op-e...

Two things can be true: 1. Everyone wants to talk about Epstein 2. Democrats should just be quiet. The last 6 months have been Trump wanting 100% of everyone's attention 100% of the time. Now he's got it and it's not what he wants. Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.

What do you think of this @omrimarian.bsky.social?

Also John Roberts:

The CBS corporate jet just made a 4 hour visit to the airport President Trump uses when he goes to Bedminster. It just left for a quick hop to Teterboro. Plane’s first flight in more than a month. Anyone think the timing is a coincidence? @stephencolbert.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Question for @chasingray.bsky.social: As these had to be "working planes" in order to qualify, I'm curious if there was an uptick in Part 135 registrations after the 2017 bill passed.
