I made this video based on the data available on the Flydubai flight that almost crashed. The data is noisy and drops out, but this tries to use physical models to be consistent with data in a plausible way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoC1...

This, from the New York Times, just now.
paragraph from NYT: "President Trump led the crowd in a pledge 'to the greatest president in the history of America' and made them promise to vote on Nov 3, saying that people who do not vote 'go to hell.'"

Oh, you can call people "evil"? Then why don't we do that? Why don't we apply that terminology to people who use their official positions to murder in cold blood, to protect pedophiles, to let aid recipients starve and die of treatable diseases, to accept bribes, etc etc etc?

I remained profoundly baffled by the way that individual members of the media, even those that are personally appalled by Trump, have continued to accept a framing that normalizes him -- e.g. in painting the core issue of the 2024 pres election as inflation rather than the toppling of democracy

Not many people can say that they've used cutting-edge AUV technology to scan 5000 sq miles of deep ocean seabed, or that they've found a sunken airliner lost for decades. Tony Romeo has done both. And he thinks he can repeat the feat with MH370. www.deepdivemh370.com/p/how-well-f...

2026 America is like one that 1960s psychology experiment where the researchers asked subjects to do increasingly bad and bizarre things, waiting to see how long it took the subjects to say, "Hey, wait, this is wrong..." Upshot: many never protested at all

Surprised that what isn't mentioned right at the top of these stories is that a) Trump has no legal authority to randomly & capriciously apply such tariffs, according to Supreme Court b) Even if he did, these aren't "negotiations," because they can't result in an agreement anyone could count on.

What many non-wealthy Americans don't understand is that when you're rich, having $ is your job. You don't have to get up early, do what people tell you, etc. -- just having big numbers in your portfolio means that money comes rolling in. That's it. That's all you have to do. Forever.

The Trash Theory of American Politics: There is a significant electoral constituency for which Trump’s stupidity, vulgarity, and racism are big assets, because if a guy like that can be president, you too have permission. The irrational hatred of Fauci is basically the flip side of this.

Looks like they were turning back when something very bad happened. Reported GPS altitude went from 35,000 feet to 1000 feet almost instantly. I don't recall ever seeing anything like that kind of descent, I wonder if the data is accurate.

If you say "the missing plane," most people will assume you mean MH370, the Malaysian airliner that vanished in 2014. But there's another jet that disappeared in the modern era: a Peruvian 727 that vanished in 1990 w 16 people aboard. I discuss w Ed Dentsel www.deepdivemh370.com/p/the-other-...
