@desireereports has followed the Mitch McConnell story for months and is posted outside his DC home updating his possible status. After being inside the home for one hour, a caregiver just left and walked hurriedly away, refusing to answer questions from reporters. The senator will not be seen today

“In training, instead of learning how to serve caviar without clinking the tiny silver spoon against the plate, flight attendants were taught something new: karate.” - Heather Poole, AA For me, everything became a weapon: metal coffee pots, ball point pens, laptops… www.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/...
In her CNN article (undated), Heather Poole of American Airlines explains some of the reasons behind the decline in passenger meals and amenities onboard as a result of fallout from the September 11 attacks on airlines. Public fear gave way to a decline in revenue, resulting in low cost tickets that could not support operations that passengers had been previously accustomed to receiving. That, in turn, saved fuel once meals, magazines, pillow, blankets, and eventually, staff were removed. Realizing these savings, legacy carriers chose to not bring back most items as passengers grew accustomed to lower fares and proved themselves unwilling to pay more. 

Not stated by the author, but true: The status of American aviation has been stagnant or in low public opinion ever since without acknowledging the one hand affects the other.Overwater sunset photo from an airplane window.

The last time I saw Amy Sweeney was at the pub in London. Happy to see her and catch up, I wondered why we hadn’t seen her in a while and learned she’d transferred to BOS. I’ll never forget how contented she looked. Family life was great for Amy. Bless her soul. She was a good one. 🤍 Never forget.

Her bravery and calm headedness, along with Betty Ong, helped to identify our attackers. RIP Amy.

Bless my friends and former AA fellow colleagues, and those United by wings whom we lost that day. My heart is still broken. Never forget September 11.
Collage of American Airlines crew members who perished after their planes were commandeered by terrorists on 9/11. Due to the quick thinking and levelheadedness of flight attendant, Betty Ong (2nd row; 3rd column), calling into Boston operations to inform and describe the situation on board, we were able to figure out why and how the terrorist attack happened.

North Tower (1 WTC): Hit by American Airlines Flight 11 at 8:46 a.m.

American Airlines Flight 77 struck the west side of the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m.

The original message sent by American Airlines flight operations informing crews that both AA and United Airlines flights were hi-jacked and flown into the World Trade Center on September 11. “ Please all of you be on high alert… Keep us posted on your situation… And God bless you.”

An old roommate once told me to “Get over it. That happened years ago.” Mortified, I will never get that image out of my head, watching live as the second plane hit the tower. The whole day was a nightmare, unimaginable for the people who were there and those who perished. Never forget 9/11. 🕯️

Go for the sourdough, but if you buy it commercially, check that they don’t put extra garbage in it. Best to buy from a bakery or a supermarket that stocks from a from a local bakery. Or join the madness and start baking your own!

One should refrain from scrolling through the sourdough feed while waiting for sourdough to cool on the counter. Everything looks so good! Today’s bakes were toasted wheat germ and wheat bran, based on Richard Hart’s recipe. I added toasted walnuts and apricots to one.

My 96 year-old mother lives in a “rehab” facility (that hasn’t rehabbed her). The only reason anyone stays in one for 45+ days is because they can’t leave. Paramedics performed CPR on Mitch McConnell when he fell in June. They surely cracked his ribs. And if a stroke caused him to fall, he is toast

My guess on what happened to Mitch McConnell: Paramedics performed CPR for 19 minutes, cracking his ribs, which punctured a lung. Whether natural or medically induced coma, it’s highly likely the reason for the emergency call was a cardiac event, then a blood clot cut off brain function. He’s gone.

Sent this iPhone pic to my astrophysicist friend last night. She approved with “so pretty”, and “a cool shot. 🤩” - I’ll take it! 🌙🪐🔭 Shitty location and zero equipment, but happy I can see Jupiter, Venus, & Mercury from here in the park. Looking forward to them lining up with the moon next week!

Something, something, the internet is forever. ETTD
AI image of Donald Trump depicted as Jesus Christ holding the light of Christ while healing a man that resembles (loosely) Jeffrey Epstein, and surrounded by a soldier, a nurse, a Christian woman posed with praying hands, and a bearded man, with the American flag flying above the Capitol building. On the right of the photo is the Statue of Liberty and the American justice building. Above Trump’s head are demons flying, lit by the light of Christ as if they’re angels next to the American eagle and, finally, jet fighters flying overhead. 

The image created such an outcry from right wing pundits and MAGA supporters that Trump removed the post, claiming he thought it was supposed to depict him as a doctor and also, that he never knew it was posted.

Also, taking William K Riley’s word that he didn’t fly “those kinds” of airplanes is inaccurate. He was clearly qualified to fly both commercial rotary and fixed wing aircraft, and was a flight instructor until that license expired in 2013. Maxwell reportedly obtained a 🚁 license. Who taught her?
