I've heard the ATC recording. It may *or may not* be as open-and-shut as it sounds, that an air-traffic controller had too much to keep track of and gave a fatal instruction. Investigation will give a fuller picture. Regardless, the ATC shortage is a crisis. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

While our feckless leaders discuss how young is too young, we continue to prove Circe correct.
Two paneled image:

First panel shows Pedro Pascal as Oberyn Martel in Game of Thrones, saying, “We don’t hurt little girls in Dorne.”

Second panel shows Lena Heady as Circe Lannister in GoT, replying, “Everywhere in the world, they hurt little girls.”

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.

The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes. But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right? "Congressman _____ voted against releasing the Epstein Files" isn't an ad you want before the midterms

I’m surprised JD Vance has left this tweet and reply up.
A tweet from JD Vance (@JDVance) reads:
“What possible interest would the US government have in keeping Epstein’s clients secret? Oh…”
He’s quoting Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) from December 30, 2021, which says:
“Are you paying attention yet? The DOJ and Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers have made a deal that her ‘little black book’ of contacts will never be made public...”A tweet from JD Vance (@JDVance) dated December 30, 2021, says:
“If you’re a journalist and you’re not asking questions about this case you should be ashamed of yourself. What purpose do you even serve? I’m sure there’s a middle class teenager somewhere who could use some harassing right now but maybe try to do your job once in a while.”
Below it, Retard Finder (@Ifiwasarichman) responded on July 25, 2025, with:
“Damn, this post didn’t age well.”

An Israeli prison guard deliberately slammed a metal door on the already broken leg of a 70-year-old Scottish woman who was abducted from the flotilla. Torture.
THIS IS SAD ❗❗

"That prison was awful. No food, no water. My broken leg, the girl said to me, "Ah, what happened to your leg?" I said, "it's broke." She slammed the metal door on it and went, "Oh, sorry"

Margaret Pacetta, 70, from Glasgow, Scotland, is one of four Scots who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla. Pacetta arrived in Istanbul Airport on Saturday afternoon along with 136 other activists.
