I would be remiss in not noting that it's been 9 years to the day that we lost this icon of rock music.

Happy Boston Breakout Day to all who celebrate (which I'm pretty sure is only @radiofreetom.bsky.social).

Out of ideas and out of time, Trump leans into his followers' innate enthusiasm for Mailbox Money. But yeah, we're the socialists.

FDR data plotted for the Amazon incident at MIA over the weekend. The landing should have been a go-around from the git-go.

Car #1. 1974 Chevy Impala. The '71-'76 B-Body is the largest car General Motors ever built. The very definition of a Land Yacht.

Sitting on a taxiway because “Air Traffic Control is limiting the number of flights out of Newark as well as into Chicago.” This has ceased to be a weather problem. This is an Incompetent FAA problem and while Orange Fuckface is renaming lakes, people are going to get dead.

It’s funny how, when people post such amazingly stupid shit, they disable replies and quotes. So I have chosen to screenshot this moron, who doesn’t know the definition of treason.

And so, this week's episode of Stupid Air Travel begins again. We are now 2 hours delayed ORD->EWR due to airspace throttling, because of this weather - which is expected to close in on Newark by the time we're now scheduled to arrive.

This sort of boat is not what most people think of as a yacht.

Current departure sitch at ORD. This is not because of anything O’Hare - it’s because the ATC system is broken and is significantly throttling traffic entering the system.

A very very long line of planes waiting to takeoff at Chicago O’Hare.

Pour one out for my fellow travelers who bailed last night in favor of trying to get into ORD today.

Circling back to this, after another 12 hour odyssey traveling EWR-ORD. The picture below, of United’s departure board in Newark, shows an airspace system that is literally on the brink of collapse.

I almost never wear them. Too many sailors don't. Although when we do, they're the inflatable harness kind, like this one.

Among people who own private jets, whose private jet is the fastest is a very, very real thing.

These sorts of arbitrarily augmented images are intended to alarm, unnecessarily. Below is an official, unenhanced SST map.

I think that if we can convince them they don’t need to occasionally filet people, we could have new friends. Also, Sultan Stevenson says hey.

A321XLR Flagship Business Class on American is just a tad claustrophobic. Also, the herringbone configuration with all seats facing the aisle is an odd choice.

Foreground: shopping cart left right next to a car (not mine) Background: cart corral 30 feet away These are the people who should be deported. And yes, I moved the cart.

I was really happy to return the rental car. It apparently has existential dread.
