"The city’s economic activity includes corn processing, pet-food production, and methamphetamines." Absolutely begging Legacy Media to stop sending Big City Reporters to the Midwest if they're just going to cover people there like addicts and stupid yokels

Working on building a new home GSM base station. I'm figuring out how to get this done using an SDR board you can find for around $100! I'm well into getting things working correctly, and just captured my first GSM signaling packets from my base station emulator.

Thinking a lot lately about the men I know who are willfully ignorant about power dynamics and how I don’t *know* they’ve done anything specifically worse than be willfully ignorant about power dynamics but also if I had to guess which of my acquaintances had, I’d guess them first.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.
wisn.com
Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Remarkable (derogatory) message from Isaacman to the NASA workforce, barely acknowledging science exists -- X59 supersonic jet gets as much attention as all space telescopes and planetary missions combined. NASA *is* human spaceflight to him, period nasawatch.com/2026/09/21/l...

Way back in 2014, I shot one of the world's first 360 videos of a flight inside a cockpit. This predates cameras from Insta360 and others. My setup consisted of 5 GoPro Hero 3 cameras in a rig, and a 13 hour render session to stitch them all together. #AvGeek #Aviation

Here is some amazing #AvGeek technology from 1989: what is probably the earliest example of an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) allowing pilots to plan their route, find waypoints, calculate fuel consumption and even run through their pre-flight checklist.

Watching ICE Air at MSP
How many are they taking away?
Nick Benson, MN50501, September 22, 2026Background

Self-employed
* Smart flight alert app for airplane nerds
* Got interested in aviation angle of ICE’s detention apparatus in early 2025
* Got serious about ICE in October 2025
* The most important work I’ll ever doWhat is ICE Air?

*ICE Air is a conglomerate of charter airlines that fly detainees between local prisons, detention centers, and out of the country
* “Shuffle” flights are domestic
* Detainees are shackled before/during/after
* Denver Air Connection / Key Lime, Global Crossing, Eastern Air Express
* Akin to FedEx or Amazon, hub/spoke
* ~65,000 currently in ICE detention,
~70% don’t have a criminal conviction ICE Air at MSP

* Shuffle flights, taking detainees to detention centers via Alexandria, LA and El Paso, TX

* 2-3 flights per day during Metro Surge; now 2-3 per week

* ICE vehicles carry detainees to/from the airport from Whipple

* Loaded at Signature Aviation, the private jet terminal

* Started counting in November

the FAA "AI ATC" story is so dumb... an a great example how the term "AI" poisons everything it touches at it's core, the procured software is some very boring optimization software to help create Traffic Management Initiatives... these are the plans that help manage congested airspace in the NAS

Finished updating my recent clips blog. I wasn't sure anyone looked at it, but a few folks had noted that it was broken to me, so I guess some people do. So for y'all: it's up to date and full of photos that didn't run. The most recent are from that Politico story I did on Blake Neff.

So far as I can tell, despite the administration's claims there is very little that is both new and significant. Some slight expansion of rights we've had since 1951 and explicit ban of a few things already banned or implied. NOT 'us control' www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...
